Oregon, Oregon State, and Washington State are starting portal QBs. They look great and their teams are doing well. The guys are out there, just have to reel 'em in.

Should have added Washington, too.
Spencer Rattler as a Grad Transfer?

If I am Chubba and this staff thinks I am not worth a look while sitting behind these two QB's, well I have to go somewhere where I at least get the chance to see the field and give it a go. Whatever level that might be at.
Now the question is, where do you find someone who is a likely upgrade to HH and Sims that you can convince to come to Lincoln?

Satt has said theyve basically given up trying g to fix HHs delivery.
Or if they are in the portal, other teams may be more appealing for a variety of reasons: chance to play for a championship (Penix?, Nix?), different style of offense, similar offense to what you've been running, etc.
For this team, next year’s portal QB will need to be enticed with significant NIL in addition to the more traditional fit questions.
Keep in mind that plenty of NFL talent scouts swing and miss on a LOT of quarterbacks. For college, it is a balance between finding the talented quarterbacks and finding quarterbacks who are interesting/willing to play in Lincoln.
I haven't seen Kaelin play, but the summer stories indicated he has a good arm and accuracy. To think he'll play in college exactly like he plays in high school (especially if looking only at one game against a very good opponent), seems short-sighted. Combine his motivation for playing in Lincoln and give him good players around him, practice time, film/development with his college coaches...seems like someone I'd want in my QB room.

Both went to better programs with better supporting casts and are performing at a higher level. I guess that’s partially my point. Where are we getting a player who’s already performed at a high level that by coming to Nebraska improves his situation for 2024? I’d guess G5 or FCS and then we’ll hear that we’re reaching.
And throw in a Hazard Pay clause in case our O line doesn't improve.
A HC or OC getting fired can change a situation as well for a kid.
I don't expect us to get the next Penix or Burrow, etc... I could see us getting a kid that has one year left and has played well enough at his prior stop. A below average QB and we're likely sitting with one loss right now.
OL will be better next year. WR will be better as well. RB is a toss up. Depends who returns.
The defense should be as good or close enough.
Potential quarterback transfers in college football's upcoming 2024 portal cycle
After batting .900 in projecting QB transfers last cycle, we're back again for the 2024 crop — and casting a FAR wider net.

Pretty good list of some potential transfers for next year. There's no way Purdy stays next year IMO. He can't see the field behind two guys that turn the ball over consistently. Sims may "retire" or go FCS. HH probably stays. We're going to need 2 QB's minimum next year IMO.
Maybe get another 10-15% improvement next year, another 3-4 years under Raiola, NU might have a functional B1G OL

Well, yeah, maybe...The portal.
Exactly. We don’t need a laser-precise passer like Nix or Penix - just somebody who’s more of a ‘natural’ QB, who can read a defense, look off those lurking safeties and check down to the open guy. And run a little when necessary or when a play breaks down (I know - not asking for much
). But truly - none of our guys appears to have that set of qualities and I’ve seen guys at the lower levels that do. They’re not setting the world on fire or competing for the Heisman, but they’re getting the job done, which is all we can reasonably expect at this point in our team’s development…
I get what you're trying to say, but Bellevue West has kids opt in from outside the district as well. They had a kid that lives in Fremont transfer in this year..
