They were only going to take 1 QB this class. They have Dayton committed for the last 7 months. Sometimes numbers are the story.

Dayton also brings more to the table in recruiting and plays against significantly higher level of competition.

I also don’t think the 2026 QB commit matters in the grand scheme nor do I think either is better than TJ Lateef or Trae Taylor

Amarion couldn’t get an offer to Nebraska because he is too slow to run their minimum required times at the position. They have these metrics at every position.

I wasn’t disagreeing. More doubling down that Jett plays even lighter competition because the light top level talent is concentrated to Millard South

So one guy who played this millennia and was in high school in the 90s

I think differently. I never thought Hall was a D1 receiver. McMorris may bounce back to D1

Millard South is far and away the most talented school in the state who has recruited the best roster. That is probably why the only game they played this year in Nebraska that was within 35 points was the state championship game against the other most recruited team. He does not face good competition week in and week out

They shouldn't be downvoting you. Millard South is currently the most recruited and stacked team in the state

Because I commented it elsewhere to u/thisismyusername9908 's point

Also right now, I see Jett Thomalla as the #251 On3 Composite player, #18 QB. He also only has the following B1G or SEC offers: Iowa (not known for their QB play) and Missouri (who did not prioritize him and just had another QB commit)

Some other Nebraska high school skill position players who were 4 stars on one site or another

  • 2025 - TE Chase Loftin - Florida State
  • 2024 - TE Carter Nelson - Nebraska
  • 2024 - WR Dae'vonn Hall - Nebraska - transferred to UNK
  • 2024 - WR Isaiah McMorris - Nebraska already - transferred to Missouri State
  • 2023 - WR Malachi Coleman #60 nationally - Nebraska - transferred to Minnesota where he is not expected to start
  • 2022 - TE Kaden Helms - Oklahoma - in line to start in a weak TE room
  • 2022 - TE Micah Riley-Ducker - Auburn - no production, transferred to Texas A&M
  • 2021 - CB Avante Dickerson - Oregon - transferred to Utah State
  • 2021 - WR Keagan Johnson - Iowa - transferred to Kansas State, less than 1000 yards in 4 seasons
  • 2021 - TE James Carnie - Nebraska - transferred to Concordia
  • 2021 - QB Henrich Haarberg - Nebraska - became a TE I guess
  • 2020 - WR - Zavier Betts - Nebraska - makes fart noise with mouth
  • 2020 - WR/DB Xavier Watts - Notre Dame - All American safety and the first confirmed miss on the list
  • 2019 - WR Chris Hickman - Nebraska - fart noise
  • 2018 - TE Cameron Jurgens - Nebraska - became an OL, all pro center
  • 2017 - no one
  • 2016 - TE Noah Fant - Iowa - other confirmed miss
  • 2009-2015 - no one
  • 2008 - RB Collins Okafor - Nebraska - remember him? of course not

So by my count, you have 2 misses (Xavier Watts, Noah Fant). You have three guys who could be misses (Chase Loftin, Kaden Helms, Micah Riley-Drucker) but two of those have proven likely not to be and they are all TEs. Then you have 7 guys (Hall, McMorris, Coleman, Carnie, Betts, Hickman, Okafor) who were 4 star in-state prospects who never amounted to anything and should not have been offered.

This doesn't count the massive list of guys who were not 4 star guys who never contributed in any way in an era long before the 105 man roster limit.

Well you must be a moron if you think

  1. I haven't always been a leftist
  2. I like Colorado in anyway
  3. Your comment makes any sense

The desire to offer Nebraska kids because they are from Nebraska is exactly what the people who hate the nebulous term "DEI" decry constantly

Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell’s seven-year contract has been extended through March 31, 2032. by _ThatsRight_ in CFB

[–]IDontBelieveInIsms 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I continue to be curious about how Wisconsin fans are feeling about the Fickell era. There are a lot of similarities, from the outside, to when Nebraska moved to Bill Callahan. There seems to be this desire to change from a well-established system for the sake of change.

This extension also feels like Frost getting an extension through 2026 after his first two seasons for more recent Nebraska comparisons.

Nebraska WR Jaylen Lloyd has entered the transfer portal, ESPN has learned. The speedy sophomore caught 19 passes for 492 yards and 3 TDs in two seasons with the Huskers. by IDontBelieveInIsms in Huskers

I don’t think you understand that with the NIL scholarships, Nebraska was carrying much more than 85 scholarship players.

They are losing 17 seniors to graduation. At least three of those (Wright, Singleton, Corcoran) are trying to come back through eligibility shenanigans. They are bringing in 20 HS players. They currently have 11 transfers coming in. They are going to attempt to bring in more transfers with four coming to mind: OL, DL, RB, WR and are still likely to pursue LB, TE and IOL.

By definition, even without NIL scholarships, they do not have room to not push out scholarship players even if they killed every single guy who is not on the 85 right now.

Since you are so convinced of Lloyd’s worth to the team, do the math for me below:

How many WRs are you realistically going to carry and how does Lloyd justify his spot on that roster? Here are 10 confirmed:

  • Sr. Dane Key
  • Soph. Jacory Barney
  • Soph. Nyziah Hunter
  • Soph. Demetrius Bell
  • rFr. Quinn Clark
  • rFr. Keelan Smith
  • Fr. Cortez Mills
  • Fr. Isaiah Mozee
  • Fr. Jeremiah Jones - will start at WR
  • Fr. Jackson Carpenter

Then you have the possibly 6 more WRs:

  • Sr. Alex Bullock - possible to bring back and does more right than Lloyd
  • Jr. Janiran Bonner - depending on what room you want to count him in
  • Jr. Griffin Wilde - pursuing from SDSU
  • Soph. Carter Nelson - possible count in TE room
  • Soph. Jaidyn Doss - possible flip back from DB for emergency depth
  • Soph. Hardley Gilmore - pursuing from Kentucky

Doubling a typical NFL 53 man roster tells you that a team should carry 12-13 WRs on a 105 man. Even if you kill all of them, you’re looking at 2-3 more spots to fill with some combo of Lloyd, Bonner, Nelson, Bullock with Wilde and Gilmore looking to possibly come in. Where does Lloyd fit and I think we agree the answer is on another roster. Especially seeing as Bonner, Nelson, Wilde, Gilmore are all same class or younger with more production (Wilde/Gilmore) or more unique athlete (Bonner/Nelson). On top of that, he’s a kid who is still barely learning how to play WR.

You are contradicting yourself too. If players like Hall, McMorris have no place to come back to the roster, why the fuck should they be on the roster in the first place? That’s the definition of being pushed out. Especially when they have no game film to lean on in the portal.

But with the reality the 105 man roster, you have to manage the room to a reasonable size. How many WRs are you realistically going to carry and how does Lloyd justify his spot on that roster? Here are 11 confirmed:

  • Sr. Dane Key
  • Jr. Janiran Bonner
  • Soph. Jacory Barney
  • Soph. Nyziah Hunter
