One thing this staff can do is evaluate. Patrick O'brien has a chance to be special at Nebraska, the first true quarterback that we haven't had in a long time. They have HS producers like Spielman and Grimm. If they close out the class with guys like Jackson, Farniok, and Watts, it could be top20

This same staff thought Johnny Stanton would be a great college QB. Let's not get over our skis on POB just yet.

It is a little early to tell but right now sort of middle of the pack.

Too soon for an accurate estimate but so far very average and no where near the OSU, Michigan, PSU talent projections. NU so far is possibly becoming the Missouri or Okla. State programs of the long ago Big 8 era-- competitive on occasion to win a league title.

Nothing but mediocre talent at best which matches Riley's coaching abilities. We will see nothing but 2 star athletes until we get rid of this 62 year old bald headed bum!

Need more Skill Position players and less walk ons. If Nebraska were to play Alabama this September, we would be steam rolled.

In order to compete for championships we need to finish in the Top 12-15 year-in, year-out. Barely cracking the Top 25 isn't gonna cut it. We were told that Riley & Co. would be able to snare top recruits with all of the resources at their disposal, but they've been disappointing thus far.

We have to get inside the top 20 of recruiting, to get where we need to be.

Need some good offensive line talent and guys with a mean streak on the field. Add some skill position talent and we're all set. GBR!

Losing too many previous commits. Winning is important to recruiting and when the Huskers blow games like the Iowa game that hurts.

We saw what we saw last season and that means little hope we can win 5-6 in 2026. Too many new things to know what is going to happen but easy to assume 8 wins is out of the question.

I hate to be this negative but I think we'll be lucky to make a bowl game 😔 Between not being able to beat a ranked opponent, the coaching carousel, no proven QB or RB and just sucking the last 25 years I'm starting to lose hope and lose faith in this staff. GBR 😭

I'm hopeful, but six wins seems most likely until the the team proves itself with a new QB and rebuilt lines.

Not possible. Lost our best player to the NFL draft. New OL coach and DC. Major rebuild. Scary to think this is year 4 and NU is talking about a major rebuild. Rhule sells the Kool Aid hard in the off season. GBR!!!

QB turnover machine. No D tackles. No RBs. Good Luck. 6-6 is the absolute ceiling. 5-7 is what it will be.

He seems more than just a mobile QB, he plays with abandon and spunk. Why wasn't he here right out of high school? But how could we have lost Ekeler? Have we turned into the dumbest program in America?

Of course, it should since we had a statue QB, once Lateef was in the offense changed to suit his skill set, and so it follows that Dana will tweak the offense to suit Colandea's skill set and with a new o-line coach changes come.
