Definitely, if its something on a personal level then I totally understand. But I just have a feeling it's more of a "If I'm going to play in the league I need to go play at this school" sort of scenario.
Stephon Wynn in Portal
- Thread starter king_kong_
- Start date
Every part of that is infuriating, either scenario. Especially the latter, Wynn brother you're not good enough to be picky about the scheme you're playing in. Sorry
Why? He wasnt recruited by this staff... he repped like everyone through spring ball.. whos to say the new staff didnt decide he didnt have what it takes? I certainly havent seen anything from him in the limited time he played in games last year that shows me he has the motor we need on the dline to play? I dont watch practice or am around him on the daily to say one way or another. I will say I trust the coaches have plans and am sure they wont roll into fall comfortable with what we currently have. Sean C said that some of these kids that put their names in the portal may have a chance to come back. Some dont.. we will see
Welcome to 2023 guys. Every year someone, or multiple guys, are going to leave for reasons unknown. It’s the culture, it’s easy, and it’s just the way it is.
I would say Wynn was number four behind Nash, Ty and Jeudy. And I think the staff likes Tagola. Buckley is also a big kid, but is he talented enough to be in a rotation against B1G opponents?
Maybe he has an allergy or religious conviction that makes him want to avoid pot roast.
Seriously though, this one hurts.

How many scholarships left to reach 85? That’s one topic that hasn’t been brought up enough with the departures. They have to cut some loose even if they don’t necessarily want to.
Interesting. Given the choice would you rather cut Wynn - Henrich - or Gifford
For the record - Wynn wasn’t encouraged to move on
There has to be more to this than we know. Remember those individual meeting the coaches are having, oh to be a fly on the wall in that one.
I’d have to say Henrich out of those three. It’s unfortunate because starter or not he would have played hundreds of snaps this season on the DL.
He looked good in the spring scrimmage. There’s no way in hell that they told a DT with his size, experience and athleticism to take a hike. Especially given how short on numbers we are for interior D linemen.
I'll tell you. He has an albatross in his repertoire. It won't be solved at the next school. He was at Alabama because he was a talent. He will be at a third school because he lacks ambition.
Yup, and then when he doesn't get invited to the combine he'll look around with his hands in the air wondering who's fault it was.
I imagine he thinks he’s not getting drafted so he might as well see if there’s somebody out there with more NILmoney than NU. I suspect he had offers before he entered the portal.

Maybe if Rhule would have hooked him up with some “SUPERPUSSY” we wouldn’t be in this situation.
The school and coaches can't be involved in NIL I think. It has to be independent of the school. I thought I read we couldn't sign a recruit bc we ran out of NIL. NU's NIL is garbage, we probably somebody not named Matt Davidson in charge of NIL.
This , he even made the comment this spring on how much harder and more work was expected with this new staff , so honestly I don’t find this a surprise at all.
Too bad for him. If he had learned to embrace the grind, he would be a multimillionaire.
I was watching a video about Coach Knighton last night. He had only two offers out of high school, worked his tail off and got drafted by the Jaguars and parlayed that into an eight year NFL career. He was determined to make the most out of that opportunity.
Meh....don't wish him any ill will but he's now chosen 3 different schools. Hope he has better luck sticking it out in the real world..
Not sure if he is a grad transfer, I imagine he is but this is the way to do it now
Incoming freshman NIL

I don't know what players like him make in NIL money but imagine having a 4 year degree, credits toward a masters, no debt, and tens of thousands in the bank. As a 23 year old.
I think you have to put a carrot on a string for kids that come in as Freshman and stay for 4/5 years, as long as you played a certain number of snaps. I don't have a clue what that number would be, but you should get NIL deal, a chance to earn a diploma, and an offer to stay on for a 5th year and get a graduate degree for free.
There has to be some loyalty commitment to Nebraska. Sarkasian at Texas is kicking players out the door if they even sniff at leaving.
All N or see ya'!!!

Good for him, he moved on to another big time school. I believe him & Hausmann are the only two who have transferred to another Power 5 school?
It's simple, he wanted a guaranteed number of plays. Rhule did the right thing and made no promises.
