OT: Nebraska

[mrschwump]

Could have as many as 50 players entering the portal. Dec's gonna be crazy.

It is a joke

The NCAA is a joke.

Make it a ONE time transfer and it curtails much of this stuff.

 

[mrschwump]

It is a joke

I would hope so.

I would hope so.

No I mean the unlimited transfer portal is a joke. Nebraska may well be losing a mass of players, like Washington did this year

Remember a couple of years ago when Ruhle was the hot to trot coach? Now looks like guys can't get away from him fast enough.

If you read the article, it's more about the new roster limit rules and such. Nebraska won't be alone, and unless Stoops pulls some magic, we could see a mass exodus ourselves.

If guys can't help you win games, why would we want them around? Stoops has been clear...there's going to be a flush with initial impact expected to bring in at least 10 portal guys.

It's a wild west show folks.

Transfer portal world will be crazy in December, but the Nebraska story is a little misleading. They currently have 150 players on the team!!! Like everyone else, they’re limited to 85 scholarships. However, beginning next year, their entire roster cannot exceed 105.

Rhule is mainly talking about having to cut his roster by 45 players. I heard a clip a few weeks ago of him talking about how several of these non-scholarship players are culture building pieces that are critical for his team.

I don’t pretend to know how these players impact a team.

Regardless, December will be a crazy month. Stoops and UK have done an excellent job since portal began of retaining who they wanted to retain. It’ll be interesting to see what shakes out. I do think he’s pushing all his chips in next year on young talent combined with transfers. I won’t be surprised if he lets some older (and talented) players leave … especially on offense. By letting them leave, I mean they won’t offfer the same amount of NIL $. I think there were some offensive players that ate a chunk into our NIL. That’s the new college landscape.

Start with Boley, Wilcox, Gilmore, Rodriquez and the young D guys.

I don’t know anything. I’m 100% guessing they don’t pay Brown this year.

I’ll miss his potential on special teams, but I think they’ll invest in some of the younger receivers and maybe bring in 1-2 from portal.

The issue is this. Schools will be raiding all sorts of rosters to reach that 105 limit, most of those kids that lose their spots as non-scholarship players may wind up at a lot of mid-major MAC level schools. MAC level schools are the ones that are going to be hit worse by this.

It is a joke

I dont know if it is or not. Posted on their board they were expecting those 40+ and several posters followed up with why it was happening.

Sec is going to remain at 85 scholarships, that direct from Sankey.

I'm old enough to remember the 1970's, 80's, & 90's when Nebraska was a powerhouse in football. Now they're to college football what Indiana is to college basketball.
