Portal wants/needs
- Thread starter Husker In Oklahoma
- Start date
This is CFB now. Nebraska, and Husker fans, need to adapt to it. Either that, or the program can remain irrelevant. CU is the "poster child" but most of the best CFB teams are taking advantage of the portal. USC brought in 26 players this year. Transfers accounted for 310 of the 311 yards of offense FSU had against Clemson.
As one CFB coach said of Clemson (which hasn't brought in anybody significant because Dabo's opposed to it) not taking full advantage of the portal means you have to "hit" on every single HS recruit you sign. Nobody has a success rate like that. Furthermore, regardless of what a coaching staff does you're going to lose some players to the portal.
Not taking full advantage of the portal is purposefully putting a program behind. That's grounds for a coach (and the AD) to be fired.

I was actually referring to Kemp's Dirty Sanchez move or whatever it is was down about 21 or 28-0. At that point, just be workman like, get up and go make another play.
Yep. Ben Scott wouldn’t mind a bit if the Head coach didn’t know who he was.
Hmm
Wr, three transfers, o line, two transfers, rb one transfer. Lb, three transfers, d backfield two? Transfers. D line two transfers?
Thats our two deep off the top of my head, likely missed more.
Yep, we have to get used to it.
Unless the NCAA rule denying waivers for multiple transfers is struck down (which it could, and should, be) Sims isn't going anywhere even if Haarberg remains the starter. Neither are Purdy, Woche and Longval. Rhule's gotten a commitment from pro-style HS QB Daniel Kaelin. That's potentially six QBs next year. No way Rhule goes and gets a seventh QB.

Idk if they need all this to be better then good....I would say just a better oline right now.

I thought Rhule said he didn't plan on using the portal to rebuild? At least that's what someone mentioned earlier
Look at what Duke has done using the portal as well.
We need to change our ratio of hs to portal kids. Having two o linemen, one rb, one qb, two wrs, thats our starting O. Cut that in half.
But as I keep pointing out, the portal comes with serious costs too.
Colorado has little room this year to help them next year, remove the growth you'd see from hs kids, they won't get that much better comparatively and stuck with a small recruiting class and a disrupted roster build.
Rhule hasn't specifically said that as far as I know. What he did say is that he believes "culture" is important. He made that comment in response to something Sanders said. I think he may have also made a comment about having to consider why guys left their previous program, but I'm not sure. He's wrong if he thinks players leaving necessarily says anything negative about them. A player leaving is no more a negative character trait than coaches who leave for another job.
What I think Rhule was getting at is that with a lot of transfers it's difficult to establish the communication and timing necessary (partcularly on the OL and between the QB and WRs) that a team needs to win. I think he's wrong on that. Colorado's shown that it's possible to turnover a bunch of players even after spring practice and still play well in the fall. You just have to have players and coaches who are putting in the work.
Also, I don't think winning necessarily comes from a "good culture." It can happen the other way too. Winning can create a good team culture among a bunch of guys who haven't been together long.

I like them too.
Just hope to keep reloading that position!
We've had far to many walkons playing in that spot in recent years.
This year will be significantly different than the rest of HCMRs time here, sure there will be losses and additions but nothing like this year.
Transfer portal and get out the checkbook (NIL). That is what it's all about today. Everyone is a free agent.
