And the seemingly low percentage of players who leave a program and truly find greener pastures or better opportunities. With portal transfers likely eclipsing 3,000 this off-season, I’d bet less than 10% find themselves in a better situation (or a more likely path to the NFL).
The attrition was sure to come with a coaching change, but it’s a little alarming to see some of the better young talent bailing. Haussmann is still hard to understand.
I think having a true metric of what that looks like playing out could be used as a tool to open some eyes and slow the flood of players we’ve seen moving around the country.
Would you actually be better off sticking around a program for 4-5 years, or looking for the easiest opportunity and starting over (some kids multiple times)? Of all the guys who have left Nebraska over the years, only a handful have truly hurt us, in hindsight.
I wish @Alum-Ni was still around to start working on this…
