I agree.  And it’s all fine and dandy….as long as we have guys that are better ready to fill those positions. If not, next year is going to be ugly.

Uglier than the last 5 years?

As Decked pointed out, it makes little sense that guys like Nelson or Feist were forced out. Guessing they left of their own volition. Not much can be done about that, and I’m not sure anything needs to be done about it, ugly or not. The quicker this roster gets flipped, the quicker we may start seeing better results even if it’s not immediate.

This is not in any way shape or form what my post was about.  Fun and enjoyment for me?  You're trying too hard.

I didn’t say it, you did. Not trying hard at all, I was just trying to figure out what you meant by this.

The fun thing about flipping the roster is just a few days ago, Rhule said every player on the team is his guy.

Maybe he meant when fall camp arrives?......

So, what’s “the fun thing”?

If you have very few D linemen and end up having to play way undersized guys that shouldn’t be on the field….yeah.

If you were trying to figure out what I meant you would have asked what I meant.

Replace "the fun thing" with "the ironic thing" if it helps......just a few days ago Rhule said all the players are his guys. Alberts might have helped put those words in his mouth for all I know.

But important guys are leaving just days after Rhule said it.

I hadn't heard the rumors, but I'd agree with Decked they are BS.

Obviously, but what can be done about it? I think we’ve pretty much determined that some of these guys aren’t being processed out intentionally. Rhule can only work on the bare cupboards and move out dead weight. It just is what it is at this point. It might just be a bit ugly for another year. I’m hopeful it’s not but…..

 
Decked said:
Or maybe— the rumors are straight BS? I can’t think of a reason why you would process a walk-on & Nelson who are key guys when you already have a paper thin DL. They just don’t make any sense when you use logic.

This. 
 

Do we need better players than these two?  Yes. But, until you know you have that, you don’t force these guys out.  
 

We have to process out at least 8-10 players by fall.  If you’re going to force some out, you start with guys that aren’t seeing the field.  Not the guys that started and were your better players…..even if the team wasn’t successful.  

 
While I appreciate the effort guys like Nelson and feist put forth, I would be lying if I didn't also say that I'd be fine with an entirely new roster next year.

The guys who are leaving are part of the worst. Period. Ever. In modern Husker history. 

Its not personal,  it's personnel. 

Flip it...getting 85 new scholly guys is unrealistic but get as many new faces that aren't part of what was an epic losing culture.

Oh, I agree.  There isn’t anything we can do. But, acknowledging that is different than acknowledging we would probably be at least some better next year if they didn’t leave. 
 

They need to do what they want to do.  I understand why each left.  I’m thinking about how we can be better next year and not total crap.  

 
All that said…..we very well may already have their replacements.  I’m sure Jeudy will take one spot.  
 

Would Borders take Nelson’s spot?

Ironic does sound better.

I’m guessing what Rhule said was mostly coach speak and applies/will apply to the players who end up on the roster next season. Guessing he knows that there are current guys who will choose to move on or that he’ll nudge out the door. So, yes ironic that he recently said that but not really a fun thing that maybe a guy or two that he may have rather had stay announce their plans to move on.  
 

Either way, I don’t think we’re losing any game changers. If we actually had game changers, we should’ve been seeing better results unless the coaching and lack of development is the whole story.

Are we bringing in game changers?

Jeudy can be one.

With the coaching change we need to kick a$$ in the portal.  Rhule has a year.  Does he have two?  Three?
