Absolutely do. We only have Shavers currently. Dasan will be Rover. We need at least 1
2 Big DL, LB and CB visiting this week
- Thread starter HBK4life
- Start date
He played in the game that got Frost fired. Losing at home to Georgia Southern. Pack your bags, Scotty!!
Davies and Gordon are new names. Davies was a four star CB out of HS, signed with Oregon but transferred to UCLA after one season. Had 3 INTs his first year playing for UCLA. Has one year left.
Gordon is a safety for Baylor, looks like he has two years left to play. Had 3 INTs this past season.
Sign them up, IMO
The problem with these high-end kids who have one year left is that they may not be around if Nebraska makes it to post season play leaving Nebraska holding the bag, so to speak. I'm leery of kids who are on their third school, it's like buying a car that had two previous owners, something may be wrong with the car that wasn't talked about.
I agree with what you are saying. The problem is we have to get used to buying used cars in the day and age of NIL.
Or maybe looking at it like picking up a rescue at the pound. It may be a great fit, or he may end up pissing all over your house.
You may be right about the playoffs but what about a really good bowl game, it's a quandary.
Since they're likely getting a NIL offer and I assume signing some sort of contract why not specify in the contract that they will get a certain bonus but only if they play through the bowl/playoff games.
I wouldn’t worry, these guys with one year left we are looking at aren’t likely NFL picks . Actually it’s even better that they have just one year of eligibility … no chance of hitting the portal.
So in the game against us he recorded 5 tackles including half a sack. But I don’t remember the name specifically. Anyone remember if he was being talked up during the broadcast at all?
Structure their NIL so that's not possible. Shouldn't be that hard to figure out.
It's always a crapshoot with any of these kids. There are no guarantees. Get em when you can and get the most out of then while you have them because next year is NEVER guaranteed. The coaches that can do that and adjust quickly will be the ones who benefit the most from this portal stuff.
Holla
Getting one great season out of a player is worth potentially not having them for the post-season. Every school deals with opt-outs now. Some of these players are the difference between that gets us there.
One advantage NU has with Rhule is that next year IS guaranteed. I think college football is more like the NFL now with NIL and one thing that has held true over the last 30 years in the NFL is the franchises with GMs on the hot seat always take a win now desperation approach. Burn the boats. Sell off tomorrow to win today. Sign that injury plagued vet who has one year left. The franchises with stability (Steelers, Ravens, et al) always consider the long term. Rhule's had that luxury and he seems to be staying with that approach. None of our transfer additions seem to be high risk at this point.
I completely agree. As much as I hate players opting out post season, I’ll be more than happy if having them means a couple more wins.
Am I the only guy on here that can’t stand that Jim in MN douche?
