Just look at NE kids in the last x number of drafts
Ah, yes. Staff should've known the #13 rated player in Nebraska was going to be so good.
But Nebraska didnt let this kid "get away". Nobody other than Iowa & ND St thought he was worth giving a scholarship to.
Off the top of my head:
I think the implication is that the ones we're not getting, even the ones we're not offering, end up having really great careers.
Here is one. We could have used him for sure.
That's a better example than the other 3. He would have been very valuable to the team now. However, would he be the player he is today if he came to Nebraska in 2023? I am going to firmly guess 'no'.
We might be well served to throw the bank at guys NDSU is offering. Appears their high school evaluations are better than ours.
Well once again we were wrong and our failure to offer helped Rivals and 247 be wrong which influenced other FBS D1 teams to be wrong. See how that works.
Their talent eval is great for the level of play … what’s truly impressive is their development of said players. Also a place we could learn a lot of lessons. Frankly I’m surprised turning over position coaches and coordinators every year limits the development of players.
They also develop players 500x the rate of Nebraska, so if you’re a NE HS kid, your best chances of going to the next level (NFL) is by going out of state (NDSU, SDSU, Iowa, Iowa St, etc).
We didn’t miss on Brahmer
NDSU has had a ton of staff turnover too. Their coaches keep getting poached by P4 schools. Vigen followed Bohl to Wyoming years ago etc.
His dad and him loved Frost and were pissed when we fired him. Not sure it would have lasted had he stuck with NU.
So maybe we need their AD and Administration to keep the train on the tracks?
I heard Rhule showed up drunk...and with his golf bag...and with a girl that wasn't his wife.
It’s funny that his public persona (way he dresses, talks, acts) is crafted for us to believe he’s a cool dude
IF we part ways Rhule at some point we maybe should look at their coaching tree. Vigen.
Just like when he started here at NU...it was so clear he was given the "talking points" as to what to say to the fans...Which I totally get but it is just sooooooo lame.
If your first favorite team (iowa, since you said your second favorite is NU) is putting a lot of guys in the NFL but never wins the conference, makes the playoffs or does anything of note...that is not a good sign.
You would think all that talent they developed. They would have made a run. But it never happens
How jealous are you that our O-line won the Joe Moore Award and our center won the Rimington trophy? Did you know that you guys told 40% of that line that they weren't good enough or big enough to play at Nebra?
Why did you admit NU was your second favorite team?
Wait, NFL draft picks AND awards and only what, 7 wins? My god...
I’m jealous for sure. How sad are you that even with that prestigious award you couldn’t crack into the playoffs. At least your starting QB for 2026 got some game experience against the National Champ - looked good too, so should be an excited bunch with high hopes this next year.
