I love seeing Bretz on the two deep. He exemplifies the type of prospect who would get buried on the depth chart at NU (losing era) but would have been a stud if he went somewhere else. Maybe this new approach to more physical and competitive practices will help us play more of the best kids.Notable to me:
Haven't heard much of anything about Bretz but he is the top backup at a safety spot.
Didn't rhule say that gilberts transfer decision should be in before the first game?
I'm fine with taking a chance on a kid when a new staff is just getting started. But moving forward, hopefully Rhule recruits and develops at a level that we no longer consider taking 2nd time transfers or injured guys who aren't what they once were.Didn't rhule say that gilberts transfer decision should be in before the first game?
We were hearing good things about Bootle in spring ball. Looks like Buckley snagged Jeudy’s spot on the 2-deep but Jeudy’s probably the 5th big guy and will play.. Buckley is a large human even after trimming up a bit and if the light bulb is now on for him, that bodes well for NU.The biggest surprises to me were the guys that didn’t make the depth chart, or aren’t currently “above the line”.
Fields and Nation have been getting a lot of hype, but neither appeared on the depth chart while guys like Bretz and Bootle did. Parrot was mentioned a lot on the OL, but Sledge passes him and Parrot isn’t on the depth chart. And of course Jeudy isn’t listed on the DL.

For one thing, Bretz is a redshirt sophomore. And another thing is Rhule has made it clear guys need to know the entire playbook in order to play. And that can be tough for a true freshman to nail down along with adjusting to college speed, even if they are talented. That Bootle is already on the depth chart is a good sign, he might be a good one.The biggest surprises to me were the guys that didn’t make the depth chart, or aren’t currently “above the line”.

Rhamir gained some muscle too. Remember hearing him say in a presser that he was like 190/195 nowWhooaaa!!! Gabe Irvin is at 220lbs? Next man up, Rahmir is 180lbs. Did not know Gabe bulked up that much.
I’m a passionate Husker fanlet me get this straight… this is 4 pages worth of “I told you so’s” from KK? When the depth chart says ‘OR’?
Never in the history of this board has there ever been a poster more right than KK (in his own mind).
How tiresome.
If purdy is still #12 on Thursday I don’t even think we’ll see him in a helmetOkay, so you're setting the over/under at 9? We're down anything 9 or over and it's Purdy and Haarberg goes in if we're down 8 or fewer?
Passion is great… You bring a lot to this board. Don’t stop.I’m a passionate Husker fan
Sue me
was very pleased to see Bretz among all the local talent on the 2-deepPassion is great… You bring a lot to this board. Don’t stop.
That said, this thread is about the entire depth chart, not just QB2.
Depth charts can change weekly if not daily. They’re a powerful motivation tool.We were hearing good things about Bootle in spring ball. Looks like Buckley snagged Jeudy’s spot on the 2-deep but Jeudy’s probably the 5th big guy and will play.. Buckley is a large human even after trimming up a bit and if the light bulb is now on for him, that bodes well for NU.
As I recall some of that was our lack of urgency on his situation. That wasn’t all on the NCAA.He may hope that is the case, but you never know with the NCAA. Remember when they waited to rule Noah Vedral eligible until like week 4?

I don't remember the details but neither of these scenarios (UCF being butthurt, frost forgetting to file paperwork) would surprise meI thought it was UCF being upset about Frost taking players with him.
I believe the plan was to redshirt Vedral or they didn’t plan on using him. Then Gebbia left and they needed Vedral so they started the process late.I don't remember the details but neither of these scenarios (UCF being butthurt, frost forgetting to file paperwork) would surprise me
makes perfect sense that frost would do something so laissez faire before he even coached his first practice hereI believe the plan was to redshirt Vedral or they didn’t plan on using him. Then Gebbia left and they needed Vedral so they started the process late.
He is probably best as an assistantmakes perfect sense that frost would do something so laissez faire before he even coached his first practice here
what an a-hole
I thought it was UCF being upset about Frost taking players with him.
It was about UCF in general...Frost leaving, taking staff, etc
Hindsight is 20/20.They should have been sending us Christmas Cards.
I didn’t know phones could auto-correct alcoholic into assistantHe is probably best as an assistant
it’s the camera angle.I’d like Ervin better if his legs looked like his arms.

Well look who is back from his Negativity Conference to share everything he’s learned!The offensive line and the receivers are going to be a serious issue... The receiver room? There is a problem there. Defense should be the strong point. Not a huge strong point, but enough to maybe get them to a bowl. The offense? Serious problems...
What ever..thanks for making a mountain out of a ant hill..week 4 depth chart
the "OR" in the QB room moved up a line
next stop: Haarberg removing it altogether

you don't think it's noteworthy that we now have co-QB1s?What ever..thanks for making a mountain out of a ant hill..
I figured that one out after the game on Saturday night..Just saying..you don't think it's noteworthy that we now have co-QB1s?
