Being in a tropical location made Jake think more about how Nebraska should recruit compared to what they are doing
January 18, 2021 by Leave a Comment
-Jake spent a full week in 75 degree weather in Mexico while Nebraska had some nice days (for Nebraska’s standards) and also a blizzard and high winds
-Jake had this same thought when he went to Florida last February, but it stood out again this past week; Nebraska shouldn’t be a ‘sea to sea’ recruiting program as Mike Riley once said. They truly should be ALL IN on the 500 mile radius. California has warranted some success for Nebraska, but also a lot of pain with recruits. Feels like mostly pain when it comes to Florida recruits. STICK TO THE MIDWEST AREA

Jake’s back from a week of vacation and he comes back to a Nebraska football team defined by defense more than it has in years
January 18, 2021 by Leave a Comment
-Of course, the defense carried the offense last year, but it still wasn’t what we believed would define the team..now, with Wan’Dale Robinson leaving for Kentucky and Dedrick Mills leaving for the draft, while the defense returns Deontai Williams, Ben Stille, Marquel Dismuke, Will Honas, and JoJo Domann, there’s no doubt they are the strength of the team
-The offense can’t just give up and sputter; now, in the last 3 years, they’ve lost their top WR each year, and only one of those was graduation (Stanley Morgan); Wan’Dale and JD Spielman left on their own terms….will Nebraska try to pound the rock more with their RBs and new transfer RB Markese Stepp?
