According to one report QB Cam Ward is the biggest name in the portal and he's expected to command around $2 million in NIL pay. Six schools reportedly are in play including Miami, Ohio State, Washington, USC, Florida State AND NEBRASKA. And he was visited by Nebraska today.
Must be spending with the big boys.

Will be interesting though…say a dude like McCord who has been coached by real dudes comes in…then after a week of practice/workouts he realizes that he signed up for Satterfield.

Whoa baby.

Right on! Kong might even approve since all that matters is wins 😂
All that matters is wins. All that matters on defense is scoring defense. All that matters on offense is scoring offense.

It's the truth. At the end of the day wins are all that matter. Ask any coach who's been fired, ask any coach who has been retained since forever. They all won at a high rate. How they did it is their business.

I would not overlook Dequan Finn, QB from Toledo. MAC conference MVP. Only has one year of eligiblilty; but, he certainly would light a fire on the offensive side of the ball.

I'd like to get cam for short term and leavitt for longer term, then put hh at another position...and maybe replace satterfeild with dana holgerson..he has alot of qb and wr experience and could help rhule recruit texas..

Major letdown if that happens
Not if we also get a guy like Leavitt or the guy that left FSU, or the Utah QB.
I mean, sure, a top guy is ideal but come on, EVERY school wants a top guy and frankly we have sucked **** for 7 years so we should be lucky to get someone. But if we get a stopgap older guy, a younger guy, and Kaelin… we roll with that. Then next year if they all suck we try it again.. and again… until we hit on someone.
Fingers crossed though for a higher rated guy than the Baylor dude, but he’s better than what we got

Really? I had no idea. Was a sarcastic jab @ Kong but thank you!

Sounds like McCord is factoring in any school that may play OSU... :/
You prob have good info, but that makes me think... any good qb wants to be in the BIG or SEC. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any good SEC schools looking for a qb.

I will never forget that. Was watching the game with my old man, who has been cheering for the Huskers since the days of Bill Jennings.

We both just looked at each other after Purdy just legit dropped the ball. He said he never saw anything like that.
He was trying to pitch the ball to Fidone and lost the handle. Not a smart play.

My hope is he is able to see when a receiver is open and get the ball out quickly, or that he is able to throw it to a spot where the receiver will be.

Too many sacks this year for the huskers were because our QB didn’t want to throw an interception and held onto the ball too long. If McCord gets the ball out quickly, I’m not too worried about the negative yardage.
Yeah I’m worried about the negative yardage given the O line and weapons they have at OSU.

Nope I heard they may roll with him and develop the current room 🙄
Works for me. You don’t spend 1+ million unless you can get the guy you really like. I’ve said for weeks that I’ll be surprised if we land a top experienced QB.

I'd say leavitt from them videos
For me, Howard. I know Leavitt’s factors include multiple years of eligibility but I want the higher ceiling right now. Even liked Shapen to be honest.

As someone said, more will hit the portal as well, I have a feeling some of the guys from the New Year’s Day teams will hit the portal on the last day or two.

Within the past 12 hours, we went from predictions to getting McCord and landing Leavitt to settling for Shapen or even back to developing our current QB room. Who the hell even knows what’s going on at this point. But based on recent Husker history, I’m just going to prepare to be disappointed until they do something—anything— to prove otherwise.

Shapen


Leavitt


Howard

Shapen actually looked great in some of those videos. Was more physical than I had seen last year. Honestly I think he looked the best out of the three show. Leavitt was second - although his upright running style scared me like TMart. Howard didn’t look extremely athletic in his clips. Didn’t throw particularly well either.

How? Its mostly him running for five yards. Not saying he isnt good but based on those videos its howard or shapen.

Shapen looked better than I thought he would.
until I see our oline make a secure pocket, I want a qb with wheels, to avoid getting injured

Just not a fan of these choices with the guys that are out there.
Due diligence. Nebraska fans want to ***** and moan because Rhule made a mistake taking Sims while also assembling his assistant coach and support staff, now someone's gonna ***** that they've been confirmed to be looking at multiple guys? LOLOL 😒
Yes there is always going to be different opinions not just entire fan base changing their minds ffs coaches can't win. If we are going after a portal qb those aren't it imo.

I will be disappointed if Rhule and Satterfield settle for Blake Shapen. If he is brought in with another QB that would be one thing, but if they only bring him in, I think that shows they just want to take the easy route and don't really want to make a big jump in improving the team. Baylor won the 3 games in 2021 that Shapen played significant minutes. He was 6-6 in 2022 and 2-6 this past season. Huskers need to start winning. With Shapen I don't think we get a winner. Please jump in with both feet, spend the money and get a winning quarterback.

It would be nice to have the luxury the “big boys” have of letting QBs come to you. We’re chasing our tails because of how “close” we’ve been for 7 years now😕
In the portal and NIL world, money makes us a “big boy”. The kids aren’t chasing championships.

There is a reason that the starting QB at OSU and the Georgia 5 star backup QB are in the portal. It ain’t rings.

There is a reason Rhule made his comments about $1-2M. You don’t think EVERY starting QB in the country didn’t stop and think about Nebraska when they looked at their own NIL deal and then compared it to the number that Rhule just put out into the universe?

Facts
1. Rhule is playing chess right now. He’s the right guy for the job and we are damn lucky to have him. He’s not going to make every right move but he is making the right moves.
2. We will get a major QB upgrade as a result of Rhule “making the right moves” to get one.
3. We are a “big boy” in this NIL game

this level of cope is reminding me of every offseason with Frost.

until its reflected by wins, there's nothing to prove this is the case.
