Nebraska ATH Luke McCaffrey enters transfer portal

Thats true. Boise St and Wisconsin coaches leave but they keep on winning. We need a Wisconisn program development with UM level recruiting.

Michigan doesn't have what Wisconsin does and that is playing a Big Ten West schedule. Drop Michigan in the West and give Harbaugh the Wisconsin schedule where he doesn't have to play Ohio State every year and you would have seen a lot of wins, trips to Indy with no wins over Ohio State. It's difficult to compare East and West teams because the East is vastly superior. 

Time? He’s in year 7 and your still complaining about time? This fan base is pitiful. He’s had all the time in the fucking world. 

Same problem as Harbaugh - recruiting.  Fans wants to win now and the only way for immediate success is load up on 5-stars. 

I'm by no means a Nebraska, nor do I really know any Nebraska fans to be honest.  But, one thing I will say is I've seen Nebraska play several times in person as the away team and every time I come away impressed by how loyal and respectful they have been as a fan base.  They have always been pleasant and not overtly competitive nor combative with the opposing fans and even generous.  That is a small sample size and a particular kind of fan that travels to away games, but I generally don't get the sense that Nebraska fans have the same expectations as UM fans do.  I my perception is their acceptance of not being elite and winning 10+ games a year seems much higher than UM fans.  But, maybe my perception is way off, IDK.

Absolutely nothing.

Well neither one of them has beaten OSU, and neither has won the B1G

Maybe tenure was the wrong word.  Clearly Harbaugh has had way more success than Frost.  However, both guys were extremely successful alums that probably had their pick of jobs that chose to go back to their alma mater with great fanfare.  Both programs were down from their heights when the coaches were hired.  Neither coach has been nearly as successful as expected.  Neither coach has made a conference championship.  Both coaches have had a McCaffrey transfer.  We were 2-4 last year.  They were 3-5.  Both fanbases seem very disenchanted with their coach which would have seen like an impossibility when said coach was hired.  No question Harbaugh has been more successful, it is just stunning to me that neither coach has been more successful.  

Nebraska's success was rooted in Osborne's connection with Texas and recruits he scored.  

I guess we’ll just defer to your expert opinion and the high quality coaching they appear to be receiving at their respective schools.  

Combined, they've got about 100 pass attempts in their careers, a pretty small sample size. But, even assuming they end up as average QBs, there is plenty of winning to be had at the college level. Simply look at osu's success the last 2 decades, winning with better athletes at QB. Hopefully, Harbaugh will figure out how to implement a system that takes advantage of the QB he has. Would not put money on Frost being able to do that.

I agree with this.

Dylan has some impressive speed and wiggle for a guy his size but doesn't throw a good ball at all.

Given his build it's quite inevitable that he'll get broken a lot running the ball.

I haven't seen Luke outside of a couple of plays last season.

Impatience and doubt and humility seem to lead a lot of players to bolt at whatever they perceive as suboptimal. How many non-grad transfers of non-starters leads to successful college careers, and pro careers? I know that Burrow and Fields are great examples against my inquiry, but years ago we used to see a lot of 5-star QBs transfer out of Bama and USC and fail to achieve their bluechip potential. Is QB better or worse than other positions?

Seems like players who are role players or "benched" when they transfer seem to not do as well in the sport going forward. Seems, the key word. Any data out there? Kelly Bryant went from starter at Clemson to being benched for TL to starter at Mizzou to undrafted. 

At OL, I know James Hudson is going to be a beast pro, but will Carpenter end up as a pro? I understand his mother's health as a genuine concern for being (kinda) closer to home, but he also implied that UM was not as supportive of him (despite him starting games at a young age as a guy not as highly ranked as others). 

Both Dylan and Luke have talent. Luke looks like he can be a very good RB or a dual threat QB. Dylan looks like he could be a great dual threat QB or WR with more meat on his bones. 

It is a lot easier to love your coach when you are a room full of less appreciated lower-rated recruits near the same ranking, competing against each other. But when you're a 4 or 5 star going to a struggling program, and you don't see much of the field in place of 2 and 3 star guys, is it the player or the program when they leave? 

Are players not realizing their potential because they come in expecting to be fawned over and given priority off ranking (or name recognition)? Are coaches dumb enough to make promises and then not keep their word? 

Also not a great indictment of Mcaffery's either. Perception shows both leaving schools where they were going to have significant roles, yet something pushes them away.  Is it the competition aspect? Frost and Harbaugh too hard on them?  Who knows but the way it looks to me isnt all great for them either...just because you have the name on the back of your jersey sure as shit doesnt mean you are entitled to anything. 

Not saying this is the case, Im no insider, but there is some of that perception to me. 

That's the only funny scene in that movie

Oh yeah, Pelini absolutely had a better run with them, but that was even farther back and I can see how he'd wear out his welcome.  But Riley is, like, known as a really nice guy who is easy to work with and a guy players like to play for.
