Deion had the right idea

Pertaining to the 5 star QB going to CU, who will he be throwing to? All of their best receivers are either SR this year or will likely go pro. It may end up looking a lot like what the Huskers look like this year.

Also, don’t assume Colorado will beat Kansas this weekend. Kansas has been on a roll lately. They should’ve beaten K-State and have beaten both BYU and ISU.

Uh...
1 - Drelon Miller - Highly regarded Freshman WR who just had a breakout game against Utah. Compares favorably to a young LaViska Shenault. Has started at RB and WR for CU. Just figuring it out but will be a big-time player for CU.
2 - Omarion Miller - Sophomore WR, averages like 21.5 yards per catch. Big play WR who will no longer have to wait his turn. Injured on the season or would be having a big year.
3 - Cordale Russell - Freshman WR, former 4*/top 50 (ESPN/On3) who was injured early on and will miss the season. Supposed to be back in December but not expected to play this year. Has displayed big time talent in his short time on the practice field.

Those 3 are expected to be the best set of WRs we've had since Westbrook, Johnson, and Carruth were running all over the field in the 90's. The potential is there and not hard to attract the top rated QB when you have that on the roster. Had all 3 been healthy, they would have made a lot more noise this year.

Others:
Kam Mikell - Freshman, Highly rated WR that is redshirting this year.
Terrell Timmons - So., has played in place of Horn after his injury. Getting his feet wet. Time will tell.
Jordan Onovughe - Freshman, highly rated WR that plays sparingly this year.
Asaad Waseem - Freshman, hugely productive high school career. Special teams player this year.

Several highly rated recruits likely coming this cycle when signing day or whatever it is called now happens. I wasn't sure before, but after Juju's commit and their chatter on social media, I'm guessing they will sign (or send in financial aid papers or whatever they do now). I think WR will be the strongest position on the roster next year and maybe the strongest in the country when the dust settles. It will certainly be top 10 at a minimum.

This is going to become a norm for high school recruits, especially overrated ones. I don't mean overrated in negative manner but any 4 star from Nebraska is overrated because the competition is just so far below that of Georgia, California, or Texas. It would have made more sense for him to transfer to a top High school conference for a year or two and get used to playing against equal competition. A guy with his tools can have terrible technique and no understanding of football or even care about learning about it and still dominate, and his high school stats weren't record breaking as far as I remember.

A teenager with high expectations or who is being told and paid like they are great will find themselves in a room with 4th or 5th year seniors, grown ass men who are smarter, stronger, graduated from college and hungry to make the league. Guys who have played in 2-4 systems, know how to take care of their bodies and love football, considering they are still playing. These guys immediately become coach and qb favorites, even if they are incomplete players. The WR position is a precision position, as they all are. Our starters may be terrible at blocking but they mostly run the right routes and are physical with the ball. Malachi hasn't shown any WR skills yet, from crisp route running, to blocking, to elite ball skills. He is a big, fast kid who could stretch the defense but only if he could also block and run interior routes...otherwise teams will just double when he is in. This is an indictment on Rhule though, and his "development" plan. Just another nail in the his coffin that points to the fact he has no idea how to coach in this modern era. The last time he coached college there wasn't NIL, auto-transfers and he wasn't in a super conference with 10 really good teams.

this is a seriously flawed statement. reality is that youngsters in the midlands most often develop late - in college - because high schools up here do not practice football 24/7/365 as they do in the south. texas recruiting was often off because they took 4/5* texas high school kids who were spent by the time they got to austin.

If that were true I’d miss the mark a lot more often. But I don’t.

Nebraska Football represents the great people of our great state. I don’t live in NE or work with anyone from NE.

When I introduce myself to people and tell them where I grew up and went to school, here’s the first thing they say:

Boy those Cornhuskers sure suck

It’s personal. And embarrassing

I think the context is in the stress involved in these types of games. Not that he's afraid of competing against tough teams, but the extra pressure involved with competing against a team that you are consistently measured against.

Fred should apply for one of those stress-free jobs that pays $5 mil per year.

I think saying something like he won’t have to wake up DH in his office is intentionally misleading and disingenuous.

You are completely taking out of context a
story, unrelated to the discussion at hand to push one of your fair tale narratives. It’s what you do, non stop. But I am beyond tired of going in circles with you over these crazy town theories in your head, as I do actually come here to talk Nebraska football, so have the last word, I’m done.

He knows what he's doing. He just can't help himself. Its exactly what we see in today's political and social sphere. Take something benign and make it into a malignant cancer. All in an effort to destroy confidence in whatever it is that you want others to dislike.

Cutting the roster to 105

How and why is it the AJS? Clarify! Not calling you out. Genuinely curious and don't want to look it up.

short answer is the Supreme Court found the NCAA in violation of federal antitrust and labor laws by disallowing collegiate athletes to earn money while participating in sports.

these are good, quick articles to digest:

NCAA, Power Five conferences vote to approve $2.8B settlement in House, Hubbard and Carter cases

In a landmark agreement that will transform the course of major college athletics, the NCAA has left behind its archaic rules and changed the way it's going to do business.

Sources: NCAA to increase scholarships for sports, with football getting roster limit of 105 players

As part of the new revenue-sharing model, by-sport scholarship restrictions will be eliminated, and schools are permitted to offer scholarships to the entirety of their rosters.

If Deion is there next year. Stephan A . Thinks Jerry is going to hire him in Dallas.

Seems to be a lot of talk of that. Although, I'm not sure it's not all coming from Michael Irvin just wishful thinking. Once you get past the fact that Deion's a coach and a former Cowboy, the logistics don't really make a lot of sense. Like the fact that they'll owe Dak Prescott, who they just signed, like $100M and he's got a no trade clause. And then there's the fact that there's virtually zero way they could guarantee Deion that they can get Sheduer or Hunter by the time he'd have to take the job and most people seem to think it would need to be some form of a package deal with at least one of them for Deion to want to do it. That said, I wouldn't put anything past the promotional workings of Jones/Sanders.

This might be an ok thing for some of these walkon's that gave up a scholly somewhere else to simply be a Husker or Sooner or whatever. Go get your school paid for and have a chance to really contribute at a level that is suitable for you. The whole clinging to what use to be is silly.

We had a RB a few years back that walked on. Worked out for him from a job/connection standpoint but he could have been a really good D2 player. Lots of kids miss opportunities chasing a dream that only works out for a small % of kids.
