If there are any scrollers living there, let me know. It’s a biz trip, but likely would have time to buy someone a beer or 2. I’m returning to Austin on Sunday.
Always good to meet fellow Insiders!

GBR!!!

Not sure how many Jackrabbit fans we have on the board, but I've always enjoyed keeping an eye on them as I love me some FCS ball, too.

This was one of the best shows we've seen in a long time, soooo good. Give it a watch and lemme know if you agree or hate it.

The fvckin’ dog went braindead.

Have not seen this name brought up much.... I know we'd be school number 3 or 4 maybe? Fidone and this guy would be quite the combo

Just got a text from OL signee Jason Maciejczak telling me that he’s on his way for an official visit to Nebraska.

If you remember he wasn’t able to visit Nebraska before signing because of a snowstorm. Now he’ll visit Lincoln after the snowstorm that produced a lot of rain.

NEBRASKA FOOTBALL IS GOING TO RISE TO THE TOP!

Middle Tennessee kicking Miami's butt 45-24 midway through the fourth quarter.

There has been so much information (which is a good thing!!!!), I can't keep track of everything going on... Could we get a consolidated list?

Here's the Wednesday edition of Follow the Trail. It's a special edition as I've logged a pair of FutureCasts for Nebraska.

I keep reading on Facebook that something was changed with how the transfer portal works for next year. Think it has to do with players not being allowed to play right away. Not sure if it's been posted here or not. Was something actually changed? Imo the portal as is is great for us and other teams that cant get the top kids out the gate.

Seems only the osus georgia's and Bamas would want things change since they want to keep what they have.

Does being a top 100 transfer mean anything near as much as being a top 100 recruit in terms of expected results?

My first initial reaction to that question is probably not....but...maybe with the volume of kids, it can be.

What is the success rate of the TOP 100 HS recruits/kids over the last ten years compared to what will be the success rate of the top 100 transfer kids over the next ten years? Will it be comparable? What will happen going forward?

The transfer portal/process (volume of kids/talent level) is so new that it's hard to tell at this point what kind of success these players will collectively have. Will they be Trey Palmer or will the kids transferring be a "bust". I generally think most kids transferring are doing so for good reason but will not have a huge impact on the new school. Not good enough, too many kids at their position etc but will the Top 100 transfer kids be a little different. My sense is better kids are now transferring making the kids at the top of the transfer list much more desirable. And have more success.

Will there be more guys like Russel Wilson from back in the day? Caleb Williams (really good)? Bo Nix (kinda good)? Trey Palmer (made a huge impact)? Spencer Rattler? Will NIL attract top talent away? etc.

With NIL and the transfer portal, I can't imagine being a coach these days. Rhule seems to get it/understand it/embrace it better than Frost. I think NIL and the transfer portal can shrink the gap between the elite schools and schools like NU. It still comes down to coaching and HS recruiting but if NU can get a few unexpected players to transfer and with a strong NIL offering it's possible to slightly close the gap. We will see.

Jacob Hood, Ethan White or any of what’s left for portal lineman.

@Greg Smith, do you have any new leads to share on potential lineman additions to the team. You mentioned to keep an eye on Hood. There have been some White rumblings, but I see he is visiting USC this weekend.
Just wondering what’s still in play for the Big Red. Thanks. GBR

It's early and we don't even know what the final roster is going to look like. If you were a betting man, how do you feel right now about Nebraska starting the new season?

Here are the first four games:
@ Minnesota
@ Colorado
Northern Illinois
Louisiana Tech

What is your early prediction?

… or really how his kid has acted in the past but I admire his decision to step away to deal with his anxiety… real thing

Big time Tight End from Georgia.
We aren't done!

Huskers are all N on the legacy 5* and #1 player in the nation

What an intriguing case study this will be. All the potential in the world, but nothing proven. If he turns this coal into a diamond 💎 his star will rise Fast. Fingers 🤞

I remember I loved my Big Trak when I was a kid.

I want one of these now…..
