Just wanted to roll through some things i’ve been talking about with other people and give thoughts on them. The first one is most important in my opinion for when the sky inevitably falls this spring. Rhule has a lot of work to do in-state for 2024 Much like with Frost’s first 2018 class, RhuleContinue reading “Calling My Shot on 4 Things”

Watch Outs 2.0
My post yesterday was getting kind of long, so i’m just continuing it with two more things i’m keeping a close eye on. In-State Recruiting 2024 This staff has done an unreal job trying to develop the relationships with high school coaches. They started out hot, but can they keep it up? It’s easy toContinue reading “Watch Outs 2.0”
Watch Outs
Today is the first part of things I would say I have my eye on that could be issues for us moving forward. Every staff has them, they just are a bit different from team to team based on not only the team that the new coach inherited, but also the roster that they get.Continue reading “Watch Outs”
Sims v Thompson and W/L Expectations
A few days ago, I put a couple polls up that kind of surprised me with the results of where the Nebraska fans and their heads were at. But like all things with a maximum amount of characters (such as Twitter), things can get lost in translation or you may not have enough space toContinue reading “Sims v Thompson and W/L Expectations”
Hoiberg and the Rashada NIL
So, a few days ago I put this tweet up which came with a ton of opinions: I just don’t know what to think, what had me thinking was the fact that these 11 wins are the most in the Hoiberg era. That’s really not that great of a stat. Especially when you look atContinue reading “Hoiberg and the Rashada NIL”
Rebuild or Reset?
One of the things that always ticked me off about the fanbase is how we would change our expectations and/or narrative based on who was at the helm. For those who didn’t want Riley, he never had a chance. Each loss was an indication of how bad he was and each win was a “wellContinue reading “Rebuild or Reset?”
How excited should we be about these transfers and can our new staff keep this pace up?
I was having a talk with someone the other day, and I asked them “how do we ever know if these transfers we get are going to be good?” It was a spirited debate, I started with thinking we were actually doing a better job with the kids that came here from non Power 5Continue reading “How excited should we be about these transfers and can our new staff keep this pace up?”
Getting to 85 and Dylan Raiola
I can’t stand it anymore… I’ve already showed people how we aren’t as good at NIL as everyone thinks with this piece: Now we have people saying “Well we are at 100+ scholarship players, just move some of them to an NIL scholarship and we will be fine.” Or even worse “there’s no scholarship limitContinue reading “Getting to 85 and Dylan Raiola”
The Portal and Our Staff Rebuilding Relationships
One of the things that absolutely ticked me off and got me in many arguments on the former message board, was the fact people would defend Frost with “Riley Culture” and “it is really going to take awhile to change the losing attitude he inherited.” It was complete blind “Frost can do no wrong” rhetoric,Continue reading “The Portal and Our Staff Rebuilding Relationships”
Two new staffers, one is out
With the news of Rob Dvoracek (linebackers) and Garrett McGuire (wide receivers) coming that we Rhule has finalized his staff, it left a lot of Twitter mentions for me asking what my thoughts where. Let’s start with my original thoughts for Nebraska and assistant coaches in general. I have ALWAYS been a proponent that NebraskaContinue reading “Two new staffers, one is out”
