Riley remaining players that will probably not make it

[Bigred511]

RB Jaylin Bradley only played 1 game for a few carries under Frost in 2 years.
WR Jaevon McQuitty in his 2nd year with Frost has 2 receptions for 14 yards this year and not being on the top 7 travel roster for WR is considering for the Maryland game.
TE Kurt Rafdal 1 catch this year and 4 catches last year. Have a sit-out transfer that should play over him and redshirt freshman coming back next year. It seems like he will be more buried on the depth chart.
OL Matt Sichterman seems to be buried on the depth chart and writing seems on the wall that the true freshman that redshirted him will leapfrog him.
OL Trent Hixson he won the starting job this year but maybe it's time to upgrade over him with some better talent ready to play this year.
DE Chris Walker stings to let a Lincoln recruit go but 1 tackle in 2 years. Seems like younger players will pass him on the depth chart.
OL John Raridon hasn't cracked the starting lineup in 3 years and don't believe he will his Senior year.
OL Boe Wilson a starter that may get beat out next year.
LB Pernell Jefferson no evidence he ever seen the field in 3 years and seems unlikely he will next year.
CB Tony Butler had 1 tackle in his junior campaign.

Just my opinion but I think part of the issue is Frost/ younger guys vs the Riley guys. Not sure if Frost treats/ views them the same as his own guys. They probably know it, and may not be trying their hardest for a HC who just throws them under the bus every chance he gets.

I wish more players would take it as motivation to prove they can make a difference. Devine was an example that Frost didn't think he would make an impact. He started the year as 3rd string. He ended up earning the starting job finishing the year with almost 1,100 rushing yards and 12 rushing TD's.

We need Sichterman, Hixson and Wilson to step up their game next year. Hixson may very well get beat out. No shame in that but I doubt Wilson does. Sichterman needs to work and be ready if his number is called. Raridon needs to kick it up a couple of notches or just transfer if he wants to play. I had high hopes for Raridon.

JB can run the ball. Something stinks in Lincoln and it's not JB. Dog house? Poor judge of talent? Maybe it's me but I have watched this kid play, he is a player.

Supposedly JB wasn't taking care of business off the field. That was the comment from a Nebraska media member earlier this year. I have no idea if it's true or not. He looked pretty darned good his freshman year IMO and Frost tried to recruit him to UCF so something's odd. He has been on the travel squad at times for sure but he just hasn't made it on the field much.

 

[dand84]

Getting beat out by two walk-ons with as much play time as he had his 1st year is not a good look for Bradley. Kids do stupid **** in college and I think his issues are off the field.

Hixson is the worst starting linemen we have seen in my lifetime. If he isn't beat out this spring I will be really surprised. I respect the kid for fighting for his position but he is just plain bad.

We ran behind him successfully several times Friday. He really struggles in space as a puller though and in pass pro. Man he's still really young for a walk on O lineman. He'll get better or he'll sit.

How old are you then? About 8? Lol. Just pulling your leg. But come on... don’t you remember Pelini or Caputo at center? Yikes they were bad!

Caputo was undersized but he actually was a decent center. I was thinking Caputo was an honorable mention all conference center at one point? Pelini was terrible.

Totally agree - but the best coaches are excellent at personnel psychology. Some you can motivate by brushing them off, other need to be approached a different way.

Would love to see Chris Walker move to OT coming off his injury from this season. Has the frame and feet they want in an OT.

Watson and Beck. All Pelini did was try to f### up the offense.

Sichterman was second team all year long. He is probably one of the smarter guys on the team. He is not going anywhere nor do I want him to.

Have you watched him in practice since he has been in Lincoln? Sounds to me like he is not getting the job done. Just because he was a good HS player doesn’t mean it will translate to college.

 

[Headcard]

Probably a pretty accurate list, but I would be shocked to see Wilson, Hixon, Schitterman or Walker leave.

God. That name.... worst center in NU history but thought he was such a stud. Kid was a dbag

 

[Hard4Corn]

I still believe Walker is the kind of guy you want on your team. Works his *** off in the weight room and appears to do everything right off the field. Can be a culture leader without necessarily making a huge contribution on the field. That description may fit a couple of others as well.

They will keep Wilson and Hixson. Both started this year. Rare to see starters leave like that. Especially a walk on like Hixson.

Walker is a Lincoln guy is who husker red through and through. Doubt he leaves or they ask him to.

Disagree but its just my opinion. Bradley was the 6th string rb behind 2 walk ons. Hes not a guy that they will miss at all. In fact i think if he wasnt from Nebraska most would think the same thing about him.

In fact i think if he wasnt from Nebraska most would think the same thing about him. My only question to you and your opinion is, have you seen any of his games in person? Any on film? If so, then your opinion is accepted. If you are judging by how his coaches judge him in Lincoln, then I disagree. He can play. Ask Demon Benning.

I disagree with everybody listed on the OL. We need as much depth as possible on the OL. Why damage that? Everybody else though I wouldn't be sad about.

As an outsider looking in... it's asking a lot to expect the 2019/2020 recruits to contribute right away on the OLine. A couple might, but that might be an unreasonable expectation. Some of the current guys just need to improve and develop.

I imagine Frost knows by now that you win in the B1G with Line play... both sides.

I think Jackson is a good example as well. I don’t think anyone took more heat from the new staff than LJ. Some of the comments made publicly about younger guys taking his spot were pretty rough. He stepped up and probably earned himself a draft position based on the past two seasons. He could have folded and gone to Oregon State but he stayed and made himself an NFL CB. Good for him!

Good. Losing sucks but I'm hanging in there. Hoping for happier days soon. Frost is getting some powerful lessons in being a head coach. He and his staff will figure it out I think. I'm getting old enough that I've actually developed some patience.
