actually, now that I think about it, saying chubba purdy throws like a middle school girl is a huge insult to middle school girls everywhere
Players committed to NU by position as of today
- Thread starter itseasyas1-2-3
- Start date
When you have QB backups like Smothers and Purdy that another team has their sights set on (within the rules) taking CT out. Suddenly your odds of facing a non-throwing team increase immensely.
NU v USC...announces tomorrow
we may as well have forfeited the second worse-arm-than-a-middle-school-girl purdy took the field
same with same-weight-as-a-middle-school-girl smothers
what a stupid post
we should all hope he's the next trever lawrence
instead you are actively rooting for his failure so you're right on a message board
pathetic!
Don’t get your jockies in a bad place. Actually your Lawrence comp isn’t bad…..well except the part about starting for a national championship team as a freshman 😉
All teams have a need for another good, experienced OLman. And don't forget, Caleb Williams is Riley's ticket to the big time, so if Riley feels he needs THIS guy to protect his QB, the NIL will flow freely.
They have Williams at $ 3 Mil plus, and their WR at $ 1 Mil plus, so they have shown they will dig deep if they think that's what is needed to help them get to the CFP. At some point, he will get around to the defense....
**Edit** Now you can go back to arguing with kong. LOL **
I agree dingle. With his size and experience, he could be as important of a signing as anyone in this entire cycle now that Sims has committed to the Huskers.
One really good, experienced guy to man the line can help change the whole unit.
If he is a Center, it allows Corcoran to play Guard which is his natural position.
With Nouilli returning from suspension, it gives NU 2 kids that can be really good if they get in great condition and play to their optimal ability.
Since I'm hypothesizing here, Corcoran and Nouilli are both Left Guards.
The middle of the line could be LG Corcoran, C Scott, and RG Nouilli. That would be really solid.
Hopefully, get a healthy Teddy back at LT, fix the mess at RT between Benhart/Hunter, and hopefully a transfer/JUCO to beat them both out. Would have the looks of a really solid Offensive Line.
I’d like to think so with so much family in Columbus. I’ll check his Mom’s FB page…..and….if offered it appears he would be ours. She posted the visit notice and it’s all pro NU posts.
Hopefully we identify some LBs and Dlinemen. Especially now that Moore is gone. Front 7 and Oline are this staffs biggest priority.
But we don't wanna just be taking bodies at the end of the cycle either.

I believe Rhule is taking some athletes who he thinks he can build in to backers. Hausman leaving hurt but we should have all of our regular starting backers back. Need some depth and guys to develop
Current roster, because we don't know who else will leave...DL is in way worse shape than LB
Tuioti recruiting cycles were just horrible overall
maly, I was going to do a separate thread on DL and LBs, but I'll just piggyback on your post.
DL currently on the roster: Buckley 290, Nash 330, Herbek 260, Wynn 305, Ty 310, Feist 275, and Van Poppel 270.
Pretty thin on the DL. Without a doubt, NU will need to add, at a minimum 1 NT type, and 1 DT type.
Better yet, it would be good to pick up 3-4 more through either the portal or JUCO kids. As you say, we don't want to add just bodies, NU needs players.
Buckley, Herbek, and Van Poppel may get bigger and develop into really nice players. But, at present time are definitely undersized for the DL in the BIG.
I "think" NU is going to be okay in the LB group.
It looks like Rhule and company are initially concentrating on bringing in "speed types". Hopefully, their focus will shift to the other area of need like the DL, and LB, and add at least a couple OL. So far, minimal NIL money has been spent to bring in these new kids.
**Edited to add Feist to returnees. **

It would help if I could read my own handwriting. LOL.
I added him to my post with an *. I thought he was gone.
Good catch on my oversight.
I think Feist graduated so he could leave. That COVID extra year has messed up everybody’s timelines.
Glad I made the mistake of initially omitting Feist.
He's another with some experience who hopefully becomes a backup this year.
He’s played more and better than I ever expected. Solid guy.

Hence the Gopher’s Kaliakmanis—I believe he’s the one that took it to us when Morgan went down. Was at the game and he was impressive. Going ultra conservative just before half didn’t help
Feist led the interior DL in tackles by over 20 tackles.
Don’t know enough about Kwinten Ives as a running back, but seems like we’re missing a piece here with another running back..
Rhule usually played 2-3 running back’s in games…

I wonder how many of them players mickey started the recruiting process with?
Not counting the ST guys, almost half the class are OLine and DLine. Loving it.
I’m hoping that we do not get Hornsby. I’m assuming the only reason Hornsby is transferring is because he wants to start at QB somewhere. And I think it would be counter productive to have two transfer QBs coming into spring ball with a new offense getting installed plus six other QBs. We don’t need another McCaffrey situation.
True, but add in how the bad QB play ruined Rhule’s chances at Carolina. Rhule wants a healthy QB who he can win with and is ready to play on Day one.
There is no good reason that NU doesn’t carry FBs on the roster. They could rely on walk-ons to to that role. Frost scoffed at the idea and we all saw how that turned out.
