Portal Transfer Targets

Rattler may be the mos polarizing QB in the portal. So much raw talent, so much drama and off the field issues.  Sounds as if HB is split with strong opinions both ways.............so................ Makes perfect sense for Nebraska. LOL

Yes. Some said Adrian played as well as Rattler did in our game.  Our defense played well.  The criticism of Rattler came from OU fans whose group think spawned and reinforced by all the preseason hype that OU was the prohibitive favorite to win the natty, heisman and all the others stuff.  Best OU team ever maybe.  Gonna blow out the lowly “little red” Neb boys.  
 

Then when it didn’t happen, of course Riley was an idiot, team was lazy, sloppy, Rattler sucked, etc.  Nobody gave NU any credit.  Of course, the debate rages to this day.  Is Neb terrible?  Or are  the Huskers really “close” to being back to relevancy?   OU struggled during the year as did nearly every team, Bama included.  
 

Maybe the ‘bad’ teams are quite so bad and the good ones not quite so good.  Reality is that nearly all program are infected with that ugly football virus Parity-2021.   NCAA rules, scholarship limits, practice restrictions, covid cut backs, transfer rules, unlimited media access making TV for all teams, etc.  

Talent is diluted and spread.  Offenses are nearly all similar. Younger guys go pro.  Etc etc.

Most programs are being pulled toward the middle (gravitation to mediocrity).

Yeah, horrible...

He's appeared in 23 games, and is 15-2 as a starter.

361-515 for 71% completion rate.

4595 yds, 40 tds to 12 ints

166.0 QB rating as a starter.

Horrible indeed.

I've been getting a kick out of these "No Rattler" posters on this and other forums.  They'd be foaming at the mouth to have the #1 QB in his class even remotely interested in Nebraska.  To all of a sudden act like he's no good is just classic Nebraska fan crimson colored glasses.  Seriously, how can anyone be above a former 5* qb considering we're coming off four losing seasons in a row?  It just mind blowing.

No one is saying Rattler doesn't have the skills, he's uber-talented.   I think there are major red flags about his attitude and mental side of things.  If he's focused and willing to do the work necessary, I'd take him in a hot second, but if he's going to go all Terrell Owens headcase, I'd pass for a guy that can fit the team better.

Is this all based on rumors of his attitude after he was benched?  Or, is there something more to it?

You are right if you only go off what you mentioned, but there is more information available.  He was featured on a Netflix series called QB1: Beyond the lights. That show follows around 3 high school QBs their senior year documentary style. That showed Rattler as a VERY talented prima donna with significant character issues that divided locker rooms. Numerous stories over his duration at OU indicate his character has not changed. Combine that with only seeing him play terribly in the NU game while surrounded with an extremely talented supporting cast would point to him being overrated. It seems like you don't agree but it isn't obvious that the juice is worth the squeeze.

 
Kinda hoping it's Rattler just so I can watch all the Keyboard Coaches' heads explode

Absolute 100% guess here based on nothing other than reading crap.

But, I would guess it's either Brennan or Rattler.

Correct me if I am wrong (which goes without saying on this board...ha), isn't Hummer younger?  I thought someone was saying that he was probably a recruit to build depth for the future.
