If Rocco throws for 5,000 yards and 40 TD’s, along with 14 or 15 wins, sure, that could be a good time to go early.
I’ll allow it!
If that happens, hell yeah! But let's be realistic, he has a lot of room for improvement to be even a third day pick. Not a knock by any means.
Jett wanted to play for a real coach, not a hype man that will be canned in two years.

Moberly needs to work on his accuracy. He didn't throw many passes last year, but he was throwing way too high when he did get the opportunity. But the coaches surely noticed that and have been working with him on fixing it. I love his acceleration when he runs though. Dude hits top speed in no time.
I don’t think people realize most of these guys will have a Nebraska offer by signing day.
You’re not wrong. But it’s kind of how talent eval always goes when you’re going from one level to the next. Do they have the tape? Skills? Leadership? Intangibles?
You make educated decisions and invest in developing. Hope it clicks.
Well stated, and I say Bust coming also, for Rhule and kNeb. He should think like this, what you said, luckily doesn't. He could establish a wining tradition and culture first. Might have to r/o culture though if none to start with? Sad for them.
Rhule, could he just be the next kNeb coach, only richer, who fails?
Can you imagine how much worse our morale would have been if our LB 2-deep was making SEC money last year? They barely even stayed on the field. They might have even transferred out, and the pressure to recruit over them wasting even more money at a place like nebraska would be immense.
Instead, we won 11 games, stayed culturally intact, and remained financially solvent in the process.
This happens all the time in football moreso than basketball, and it's gonna happen to somebody with a monster bill for the bad fortune.
With Nebraska's history of bad luck, they're almost guaranteed to have tens of millions of dollars sitting on the sidelines in street clothes at some point. I don't think people fully appreciate how likely this is to happen.
I think that you’re right. And a few may well flip. But, the longer the huskers hold off on offering the harder it is going to be to flip them.
If teams fully using hindsight could go back & draft Purdy, you think he'd have a chance going on day 2? I sure do.
I also think Rocco could better Brock's tenure at ISU, and given how Purdy has helped strengthened how ISU players are perceived in the league, I feel he will be a much higher draft pick given his talents & intangibles. Not thinking Round 1 occurs, but I believe Round 2 may be his ceiling. Will depend on his growth in experience & game-wise.
I think Purdy is a first rounder if drafted today. Maybe not at the top of the draft but still a 1st. Rocco IMO has a similar skill set. Maybe a stronger arm, not as good of a runner, not quite as accurate. He’s going to need to cut down on the picks and also prove he can do it without 2 elite WRs. If he can do that, he’ll definitely get drafted.
I mean he’s played like a first rounder. The doubts that caused him to drop look dumb now.
Matt Rhule has zero ranked wins in his time at Baylor and Nebraska combined.
Think about that. Not a single one lol.

Regardless, we are going to be up against this kind of rhetoric when we recruit against B10 and sec schools for the foreseeable future.
