Are all the NU guys in the portal 100% gone, or does NU have a chance with some NIL shekels.

I don't think anything is a done deal. There's always that chance a player could be market shopping. Players have an agent in their ear giving them advice good or bad. It's the current fad to test the waters of the portal. There's always the chance that the staff encouraged them to move on as we need to cut players. I don't think there's anyone on here that truly knows just opinion. On big red wrap up last night they were thinking it's possible a player or 2 might change their mind and stay. We'll see

I suppose two can play this game. A guy enters the portal, assuming he has bargaining power to negotiate for a better deal with his current team. One guy hears crickets. We’ll help you pack. Another guy finds out what the staff really thinks of him and gives him that bump in pay.

Don’t know what the motivations are for a kid like Davis. The window for playing time at NU seems wide open, plus a good young DL Coach with NFL Coaching experience. It’s that vs. allegiance to White and Mr. Roast.

Let’s hope he has a change of heart and is willing to listen to the new coaches. These guys lose sight of the fact that they’ve already invested a lot in one place. It’s actually a lot easier to build upon that then start from scratch somewhere else.

this may turn out far better than we could have imagined with our recent roster. there are some pretty good players becoming available. just like it's always been only a different way of getting it done.

$$$$$$. Supposedly his parents were just in Lincoln looking at homes.
 
Right now MaGahee, Cam, Jeudy and RVP are front of line, with Shavers at LB. If Buddha Wright can get a 7th hardship year, he would play a lot. Jones, Terry and Merritt are highly ranked coming in. Can Noonan and Dylan Rogers play?

Depth is the concern and Juedy needs to up his game.

None of us really know what goes on with this portal recruiting world. James Williams says he's getting 30 phone calls an hour (obvious exaggeration) and has heard from Ohio State and A&M. That's why guys are in the portal. It would be tempting to see what the money is out there and there's no way to know until you do it.

Heard from and offered by are different. He will go to FSU, play sparingly and likely transfer again. MAC is a good spot for him to grow and develope.

I think the Williams kid is a bullshitter.

Davis and RVP would be fighting for the starting spot at DE. He would have definitely been getting a lot of reps but no way guaranteed to start.

Will be interesting to see where all these players end up. See how other coaches value them.
