Staff still looking at JUCO's for 2015 class.

HuskerOnline.com - Huskers still in the JUCO market for 2015




Love this overall philosophy. The closest blueblood program to that 500 mile radius would be Norman, Oklahoma which is just outside of it. 500 miles is maximum 7-8 hrs drive for parents who want to see their kids play or for the student to travel home on breaks. "Direct flights to Lincoln and Omaha" is thinking outside of the box.

Yep, this staff likely won't get caught in the messy roster spots the previous staff often got caught in. They are continually on the prowl for new talent.

I thought Carter would have moved to LBer by now. But that was Becks system maybe we will use TEst and FBs in MRs offense

...Uhhhh... WHAT?

And you asked where Afalava was LMAO.

I'm sorry, I can't.

My mind went straight to QB and OL, but there were some good points made here about the QB's likely all staying.

The reason I say QB is that the offensive change might be a good enough excuse for a kid who is already looking for a reason to transfer so it's not obvious that they were just shying away from the competition.

"The offense didn't fit my skill set" sounds a lot better than "I was buried in the depth chart". Ask Cody Green about that one.

I bet there were a lot more well known players who haven't said anything that were extremely close to transferring before camp. Do not be surprised to see a "big name" player leave. No reason to be concerned if that does happen.

I was really fucking disappointed with Love leaving before camp. He'd have been guaranteed serious PT this year. I wanna punch Vince Marrow in the face for poaching as many quality players as he did.

I love playing guessing games.

I have absolutely no knowledge of this whatsoever. The rumors swirling around about what the SEC is doing, over-signing and some other new shenanigans with over-signing(Tennessee), maybe no one transfers out. The Big Ten does not play by the SEC rules.

My guess, if any of this has any merit, is three out of this four

QB Stanton
Receiver Kevin Gladney
DE Freedom Akinmoladun (I thought he was a tight end)
DB Boaz Joseph

I really wanted Stanton to be given a shot. But I can completely understand him wanting to play. He was a hotshot California QB.

Gladney - has he even seen the field?

Freedom - I thought he would have been a beast of a tight end, but my memory could be failing me

Joseph - he has been passed by by other players, and Eric Lee is going to want some playing time.

LOL…that one came back to bite ya. Dude is probably gonna play a pretty decent amount this year.
