If you’re like me, when Matt Rhule was hired you looked at his track record of turning around programs like Temple and Baylor and thought to yourself “if he can do it at those two spots, certainly he can do it here.” Temple was competing against Penn State, Baylor was going up against the LonghornsContinue reading “Analyzing the recent run of commits”

We Debate the Kaelin Greatness (with myself)
I still remember watching Florida State offer Bellevue West QB Daniel Kaelin as a freshman back when he hadn’t started a varsity game yet. His recruitment was strange from then on, where he seemingly wanted to be a Husker, but was in the unfortunate situation where the #1 QB in the entire country was aContinue reading “We Debate the Kaelin Greatness (with myself)”
SSO 2024 In-State Recruit Rankings
This post is dedicated to my top 10 rankings of in-state players. It seems that every year people are flabbergasted about how many of our recruits in Nebraska are getting Power5 offers. With camps, social media, and 4 recruiting services now, it’s nearly impossible to be kept a secret. Couple that with Nebraska having 6Continue reading “SSO 2024 In-State Recruit Rankings”
Relationships and In-State Recruiting
We always hear about how back in the day, there was a fence around Nebraska. How no schools came in here to try and grab high school recruits because they knew how so few and far between they were to leave the state. Sure, you had your guys like Gale Sayers who went to OmahaContinue reading “Relationships and In-State Recruiting”
Colorado Coaches Analysis
Yesterday we went over each Colorado football transfer that came into the program here: It led many of you to ask “ya, but who is coaching these guys”. If you go to CU’s website, every coach basically just has their name with nothing about them (seriously). Except Coach Prime, who has a novel written aboutContinue reading “Colorado Coaches Analysis”
Analysis of Colorado Scholarship Players
We are so intrigued with what’s going on up there that we needed to see who is all left. After all, guys that transferred in this spring are already gone. We used this scholarship chart to analyze where everyone came from and who is returning from the original team: Italicized is new players for 2023Continue reading “Analysis of Colorado Scholarship Players”
Kaelin and Knaak Commitments
We will start with the Daniel Kaelin commitment. The Bellevue West QB is a 3 star recruit across all 4 of the services, and made waves a freshman for the Thunderbirds when Florida State offered him despite him not starting a single game for the varsity team. QB recruiting sometimes reminds me a bit ofContinue reading “Kaelin and Knaak Commitments”
Johnson and NPG Tweets
My apologies on pivoting a bit from the commitments and talking about these things, but they are pretty hot on social media right now. And let’s be honest those commits ain’t going anywhere so we can talk about them next week. First, if any of you remember this article I wrote, it dove into howContinue reading “Johnson and NPG Tweets”
Going over a few coaching differences from the last 5 years to Rhule and Company
The old joke about football is that if you ask 100 coaches how something should be done, you will end up getting 100 different answers. So that’s why when things go great people try to emulate but put their own spin on it. Conversely when things go bad you can say “see they shouldn’t haveContinue reading “Going over a few coaching differences from the last 5 years to Rhule and Company”
Shit or get off the pot time for many QBs
Quarterback recruiting is a weird situation. I’ve often told people the one position I “understand” that has a lot of portal entries is quarterback. 99% of the teams out there employ a one QB system unlike RB, WR, OL, etc. where multiple guys play. And there’s a common narrative out there that says “If youContinue reading “Shit or get off the pot time for many QBs”
