A year of readiness would increase chances of graduation and relieve a large amount of pressure put on incoming freshmen athletes.

Yes! Academic support is there for them every step of the way. If they are able to compete then they should have the option to compete. Remember why Marshall needed to play freshmen back in the day??

What is the rush? Let them Develop, Academically and Physically!!

Blocking freshmen from being eligible to play isn't the response to combat the feeder system into the pro's. They are adults and limiting their choices is the wrong approach.

Antiquated philosophy. College athletes at most schools have excellent academic support and are set up to succeed. I think in basketball, the JUCO system would florish. But, it might destroy the Calipari model, which may not be a terrible thing.

Jerrod W. Atkinson

Because that is rediculous

Daniel Revas

We have had and settled this debate already. some of these "Kids" come out of Programs that would rival some small colleges. Freshman can be Red Shirted if they are not ready.

Zach Akin

Recruiting impact plus if a freshmen can play let them. They earn it through skill and work.

only works if all conferences adopt policy otherwise a significant recruitment advantage

Good job. A lot of good players and a lot from Nebraska

Dick Plock

We are moving the roster and trying to get better! Thanks for hiring Coach Rhule, Trev!!!

Chuck Bolder

Think they did very well considering the time they had to get er done!

Kevin Hilyard

I thought we did really well with the defensive and offensive line, plus the most in-state recruits since 98!

Michael Graham

Top 25 is good.

Scott Thomsen

In short order, Coach Rhule and staff put together a top 30 class. That's a great result for the short time they had to work with. My only pain point was losing Earnest Hausman to Michigan through the transfer portal.

Thomas Wright

Ernnie's lose ! Besides, Rhule is replacing him with some 4 & even 5 star recruits out of Florida. Ernest WHO ? GBR !!!

College football has become a swinging door of opportunity. Don't let the knob hit ya, where the good Lord split ya!

Thomas Wright

Amen Scott … probably should’ve never been playing for us in the first place then ! Who wants unloyal (especially Nebr. native) players anyway …. Can’t wait til kick their A$$ when we play against em ! lolololol

Linda Ogren

Only one player seen time, so should get better

Wade Williams

That's just part of the deal now with the portal, particularly after a coaching change. People may not care too much for it but we better all get used to it because it's not going anywhere.

Jerry Johnson

If they enter transfer portal, they are not willing to work, and play tough. Let them go elsewhere

Dan Benedict

The new staff needs the freedom to get the players that will fit their system. The kids that leave or stay away are no guarantees either.

john brandon

Rhule only wants young men who wish to be at Nebraska ... as simple as that.

Mike Knust

It's the new era that College Sports is in. It happens to every team. It's like NFL free-agency free for all.

Tom Hedlund

They chose to leave, and that's fine. We want players who want to be at Nebraska.

Patrick O'Brien

Coach Rhule needs to build his own team. Players that transfer shouldn't be there anyway.

Stuart Fagan

This is normal for a coaching change. I get it. But I do think that they'll regret leaving as time passes.

James Wyatt

We will find other players who will want to play for Nebraska and all the new coaches! GO BIG RED TILL I DIE!!!!!

Michael Graham

None of them will end up trading up.

Larry Smith

In the spring the head coach and assistants will start their work. They, in effect, will ride the horse upon which they came, the players on the field. It is up to the coaches to either develop those players or to fail. We will see the result in August.

Brian Machan

With the coaching changes, its only prudent for players to re-evaluate their decisions to make sure its best fit for them. If I was a father of a player, i would encourage the re-evaluation process and if they re-commit, Great! Otherwise best of luck to both sides.

Tim Brunswick

Not as of today ( 12/15/22)...But time will tell..Ask us in another 3 weeks...

Gene Baker

I have a lot of confidence in Matt Rhule. And his ability to develop players.
