Spielman, McQuitty Depart Huskers

If JD doesn't make it back, and I have no idea if he will or not, we could be in deep doo-doo next season at WR. Last I heard through the rumor mill was Betts & Manning were both questionable in making it academically. I know last summer the word was Betts would never be able to qualify but apparently that has improved somewhat but still is not a lock. Who knows with Manning. If we are sans JD, Betts and Manning next season I don't see anyway the O can produce enough points to make up for what is appears to be a not so stellar D in games against teams with a pulse.

Not sure about manning but my understanding with betts was it was simply an act score holding him back.  All classes were on track to graduation.

It's exasperatingly insane how a program with the backing of millionaire boosters and an entire state can't get out of this rut. We have the hype and support that 90% of all other programs literally only dream of.

Maybe that's why we're in the rut.

Just my opinion but many if Riley’s guys fell into 3 categories 1) didn’t fit system 2) didn’t want to compete/put in the work 3) had no business playing at this level.  Frosts first yr was a scramble and maybe didn’t vet kids as much as they wanted/should have, kids in turn didn’t have the time so followed a coach to a blue blood off name only.  
 

for the guys who transferred are we really worse off.  The only player I can recall having any sort of impact is Avery Roberts.  Yes, Lindsay was a top recruit but has done nothing at OSU, neither has gebbia.  
 

im in on frost for the long haul and I believe he’s fixing 15+ yrs if mismanagement, poor coaching/development, and poor results.  Addition by subtraction in much of the attrition.

You forgot pot smokers. 

 
If he's gone, making a bowl just got harder.  The further removed from relevance, the closer we seem to get to the abyss......Maybe he didn't like Walters being let go.  Maybe doesn't like what Lubick has to say.  Maybe he is actually dealing with the health issues......Maybe he just wants to get the hell out of NU football....

Bad thing for the program is this will get a lot of national press (negative) if he leaves.  Like WTH is going on with the program....

And this little factoid from Sip:

As for the receiving corps, Robinson had 40 receptions last season and walk-on Kade Warner had eight while playing hurt a share of the time. No other receiver on the spring roster has a catch in a college game. 

Not laying blame, but that is some incredibly sh!tty roster management.......Going into year 3....Hard to win anything with depth like this.  RB is not much better at all....

This is definitely a tough blow. Lets pray Frost can land 2 or 3 WR transfers... I know there are a few good ones out there right now. Also, if you saw JD's twitter posts over the offseason and now his most recent instagram post, he's definitely going through a state of depression. Hope he can figure that out before the summer but if not, it is what it is.

If it's depression, that's an a$$ kicker.

Well, he may be depressed but certainly not as depressed as Husker Nation is. We've been putting up with this sh#t for 20 years while he's only been in the program a few years.

Relax, it's a joke..... It's all we've got left.

We passed the 'more than half gone' mark with the 2017 class a long time ago. Right now we're at 60% gone, 40% remaining.

Gone (12): Tyjon Lindsey, Avery Roberts, Tristan Gebbia, Jaevon McQuitty, Keyshawn Johnson, Guy Thomas, Willie Hampton, Andrew Ward, Ben Miles, Jaylin Bradley, Elijah Blades, Deiontae Watts

Still here (8): Brenden Jaimes, Deontre Thomas, Matt Sichterman, Damion Daniels, Kurt Rafdal, Austin Allen, Broc Bando, Chris Walker

Thats a bunch of “stars” - somebody thot they had some skills / ability.  Did they come to NU or Mike Riley?   Its just troublesome to see so many unhappy student athletes - not to say some are moving on by mutual interests.  Just very curious as to what Frost has done or not done in some of these cases.

Roster management is even tougher when you ultimately need to flip almost the entire roster.

The OL recruiting difference between Riley and Frost is night and day.

The walk on program also takes more than just a couple of years to be productive.

Frost has been getting guys to leave that simply didn't have what it took to compete at a B1G level.

That's actually pretty good roster management.

Hey, you're back.  The sunshine pump had started to go dry in the last couple months while you've been away.
