This doesn't seem to be a strength of this coaching staff. They've had more recruits leave w/o ever having an impact that guys who stuck around, even just as role players. That's the oddest thing about all of this, can't be many other programs in that situation.

Is Chris immune from backlash for doing these "Player's Name Only" thread titles?
(We can start a separate thread to discuss that, titled simply "Williams"

)The other side of that is a coach could bring in players from his old school (if rules allow).
Things are pretty optimistic when a new coach is hired, so a new coach is going to be able to reconstruct a roster immediately.
And hypothetically if Prohm would leave, that wouldn't mean the current guys on the roster would 100% transfer. When Fred left, the guys on that roster could've gone elsewhere but decided to stay.
I love Prohm as a person and wish him the very best but gosh damn this is getting bad. If he doesnt land a couple of big time sit out transfers it's not looking good for him.
CW - Any kind of word whatsoever on DJ Carton? That is literally the ONLY name floating around right now that would make me feel differently.
*Only makes it worse that both Iowa and Creighton may be legit top ten teams next year.

Again, it's only been 4 weeks on the dot since we played our last game of the season. There is going to be transfers popping up left and right for a while now. We shouldn't blow this out of proportion just yet.
I hope you're right. I can stomach one more down year in 2021 if he has a couple of studs waiting in the wings for 2022. If the NCAA approves immediate transfer eligibility no excuses in 2021. Zero.
We need more than warm bodied "patients" at this point. Our patience needs some studs for us to get excited again.
Seems like most of the anger is based on a lot of failure and going 48-50 over the past three years. How do you fix that? Get better players is my guess and we have yet to land any although I think we still might. That said, if folks want to be excited about that, far be it for me to stop them. The performance of our fans has absolutely outperformed this program in these past three years so if they wish to vent-Let them IMO. It's not their fault things are this bad. So it is not the past success that is the problem, it is having the losingest season in 40 years that is likely on their minds. Which,I am certain that many Iowa and Nebraska fans CAN relate to
It seems to me, that is what people are pissed about- I may be misreading things tho. IF you want to yell at or blame our fans for caring, go get that windmill!

I feel like people are jumping too quick on conclusions. It's early April and the season hasn't even been "done" for that long. Let a few more weeks play out and more coaches go over their rosters and "force" some out. I'm sure there will continue to be more announcements in the near future. Plus, stop putting the cart before the horse, we don't know who these guys will choose. Am I happy about the current state of the program, no. But I'm also going to wait on these guys choosing and announce before I write anything off and immediately say the sky is falling before we know anything.
Also, I don't really know the answer to this, but could there be more late grad transfers if/when the colleges say this past semester is done or did they already do that in most states? If those students are allowed to apply this past semester for more credits, it might get them to the allotted credits. But I might be behind the ball if that was already done.
