Players will leave on their own with coaches encouraging some. This is why Casey Thompson makes no sense. And Kong may not have an epic rant in one player who may leave because the TE room is too stacked to move him there.
12-14 scholarships need to be dropped
- Thread starter Jauken
- Start date
Our entire OL should be sent packing as dead wood? That would leave Coach Raiola with just his incoming Freshman and a few walk on to launch the #1 QB in America era at Nebraska.
I'm not the one who made the list. That was Leodisflowers. If you have a problem, take it up with him.
IF Thompson comes back it likely wouldn’t be on a scholarship. He’s eligible for a walk on NIL deal. He’s not even in the portal though.
So don’t respond. Jeez dude. It’s like you can’t handle the message board and topics at hand. Never did I say I didn’t like any of our players. Relax or just don’t click on the thread.
I’m completely relaxed. It’s a pertinent topic. I’m just not fond of naming names. Thats all. You’re entitled to your opinion.
I gotta assume you missed the self-proclamation about his predictions always being right, and adjusted your thoughts accordingly.
Get your crap together Taco!!!
We can do it like when Bo was here and be close to the number, but when fall camp came some would leave or be booted and we'd be self sanctioning and end up below 85.
Please accept my humble apology oldjar. This old Dragon was intending to pee on Leodis's flowers rather than your rhubarb I guess. Sorry. BTW, I would rinse that rhubarb dang good before you make your favorite crisp recipe.
I hate this part of the new era we live in....but on the other hand, getting to the scholly #'s have always existed since they went to 85 and every year it gets figured out at every program.
Was surprised to see Luto and Stenger on Leodis' list
Luto may start at RG and Stenger working into the Gifford role down the road
Just me though

Something to keep in mind ... NCAA rules require an institution to give written notice by July 1 to any scholarship student-athlete whose scholarship the school is not going to renew for the next year. Any student-athlete who gets one of these letters has the right to appeal the decision to a faculty group that must be made up of individuals outside the athletic department. The kids almost never win the appeals.
So we may get some clarity come July 1.
OWH lists their scholarship roster as updated 12/15/2023. Hold the kids that came in last year harmless and strike a dozen kids from the remaining. It gets hard around a dozen.

We still have the spring portal that will sort some things out. WHO. CARES. HOW. MANY. WE. ARE. OVER.
Just because a player leaves doesn't mean they were ran off. Kids get homesick. Kids get hurt. Kids don't want to go to class. Kids get in trouble. Oversigning just allows Rhule to raise the commitment and expectation level. You have to really be all in.
When a team has had losing records for the last six or seven years, I’m sure there are plenty of players that aren’t very good. You would have a hard time cutting 12-14? I would have a hard time cutting 1, maybe because neither you nor I have a clue who deserves to stay or go. But the coaches probably know today and will for sure after Spring football.
BTW if there is a fear that the coaches created this logjam, keep in mind we still are working through the extra time granted to “Covid” players and many other coaches not named Deion have the same issue. Rhule could have done a Deion and run off large numbers a year ago. I’m glad he didn’t and am sure he will feel sorry when needed reductions are made, but he will do what has to be done.

I was worried about that after not seeing him or hearing about him last season.
Snodgrass and Fields are perfect examples. This kind of stuff happens naturally, whether we want it to or not.
