Well if you didn't happen to notice we weren't a very good team last year so we hardly provided any measuring stick. But beating us didn't make Colorado a good team if you look at their final W-L tally for the season.
Portal time. NU and others
- Thread starter HBK4life
- Start date
They didn't get better as the season went on. In fact they probably were better at the beginning. That's my point.
I think he would have gone to KSU if Deion wasn't hired by CU. Plus, he's from Kansas. Just a hunch. No special info.
Amart was likely a mutual parting. Comparing Frost players to Rhule players during the NIL era doesn't work.
Does anybody but Rhule really know if we are over? Several recruits from the last class indicated they are walk-ons who got a very attractive NIL package. No reason to believe the same isn't true for older players past the 4 year Big 10 guarantee.
Of we will have people leave after the spring. What matters is were they going to contribute.
I think his dad played for the purple kitties and he’s from Wichita.
At their level, NDSU is somewhat plug and play. They know what they are doing. If CU doesn’t have their shit together, they could lose.
One report indicates that Nebraska has some interest in pursuing Colorado transfer RB Dylan Edwards.
Likely mutual parting.
Only Rhule knows, we can’t know.
Only non-contributors will leave.
A combo of wishful thinking and head in the sand.
Shedeur needs to shut his mouth but with daddy being the coach he keeps yapping away. Any other team would have pulled him aside and told him to shut up and color. He's not helping the situation one bit, he's fanning the flames. Nepotism at it's finest.
There will be departures to the portal once the coaches have their one-on-ones with players after the Spring Game.
So just to be clear, you are claiming NU is a farm team based on players that last played for NU in 2020, 2021, and 2022, under a previous regime?
I never said only non-contributors would leave. It will only be an issue if they do, and until they do than we aren't a farm team. We played a ton of young players and amazingly for a farm team, we didn't lose any good ones during the winter portal period. That screams to me we are a hunter, not prey.
It's already been reported elsewhere that Nebraska has interest in him.
KSU if I'm not mistaken has a senior RB who rushed for 1200+ yards last season... Be interesting to see what Edwards decides....
We need that guy bad imo.. he would be an immediate difference maker for the mostly bunk running back room that we currently have. Must Get!!!!
highlights
Not sure how long he would stay if he did come here. He originally committed to K-State. He later flipped to Notre Dame. Then just before signing day, he flipped again and signed with Colorado. Now he is leaving Colorado after one year. But you take him if you can get him and hope for the best.

Reminds me a little of Mo Washington... Hopefully minus the character issues. But you gotta take a dude like Edwards or Washington if you get the chance!
Especially since he is a burner. I think we desperately need a rb who is a threat to take it to the house.
Dudes a flake, I’ll pass. With Dowdell now in the room, and Emmett a year wiser, I feel like we have a good top two… even with health questions on Rahmir and Gabe. I’d rather have a good HS commit like Jamarion Parker.
actually, d.j. giddens is a junior this fall. local kid from junction city, ks. it's expected that he will leave for the nfl draft after this season.
bill snyder took a few home state transfer youngsters that turned out well including arthur brown (tennessee).
I think you are going to be disappointed in Dowdell unless he changes his game in a hurry. EJ is the only real know commodity at this point and any help would be fantastic. Ervin, RJ and Ives are all huge question marks. We should try to get another back or 3 in here ASAP if available.
I disagree. He hits the hole and gets upfield quickly. And has nice speed. I like his highlights. Nothing is guaranteed but I think Dowdell will do well here.
longest rush so far is 29 yards
3 total runs of 20+
maybe he can be a home run hitter, but we haven't seen it yet
His HS highlights are not exactly what he is right now. From someone I know who has seen him in practice, he is struggling pretty hard finding the hole. Big back, but also not great vision as of now. Also, my old boss is a heavy donor at Oregon. He was buried on the depth chart because of what I said above and also he does not have good speed.
I hope NU can develop him, but as of right now we have 1 proven back. Not saying the kid can't change, but definitely needs to put in the work in the weight room and working on his vision and understanding of the position.
yeah, this idea that you can keep a guy for 4 years is kind of out the window..
it's more about assembling a team as a contender, on an annual basis..
it's what the portal has done to cfb.
on the bright side, this is something that Matt Rhule is keenly aware of and he seems to be using this in our favor.
IF the record this year follows, which I expect that it will, he is going to have some pretty good momentum for the foreseeable future.
i'll be surprised if edwards doesn't end up at k-state, sans money getting in the way. he's good friends with avery johnson. they played junior ball together. avery broke the news that edwards was going portal. he knows this staff. he's a kansan. his father played for snyder. it just seems logical that he heads to manhattan, not that logic always prevails. that said, aTm certainly has the dough to make this buy. and collin klein, now aTm's o'coordinator, was in on edwards' original k-state recruitment.
Yes this would seem to be the logical landing spoti'll be surprised if edwards doesn't end up at k-state, sans money getting in the way. he's good friends with avery johnson. they played junior ball together. avery broke the news that edwards was going portal. he knows this staff. he's a kansan. his father played for snyder. it just seems logical that he heads to manhattan, not that logic always prevails. that said, aTm certainly has the dough to make this buy. and collin klein, now aTm's o'coordinator, was in on edwards' original k-state recruitment.
He committed to Notre Dame first. It was a stupid decision to decommit from Notre Dame for the sole reason that Neon Deon and his boys are going to Colorado.
