The B1G had 55 players drafted, but Nebraska didn’t really add much to the total…can they start getting 4-5 players drafted again on a yearly basis? May 01, 2023

Show notes

-Every B1G school but Indiana had a player drafted this year, but Nebraska was 3rd to last with 2 players (Ochaun Mathis and Trey Palmer, both in the 6th round); and Rutgers, who had 1 player drafted -Michigan led the way in the B1G with 9 players drafted, and Ohio State/Penn State both had 6 players drafted. In the West, Purdue (who won the division) had 5 players drafted, followed by Iowa, Northwestern (!) and Illinois with 4 players; and Minnesota/Wisconsin with 3 -Also, it’s not only the fact that Nebraska had only 2 players drafted; it’s that they were late Day 3 picks. As Sip says, no All-Americans is a problem and has been for Nebraska on the field -Is it better to sign with a team as an undrafted free agent versus being a seventh-round pick? -Garrett Nelson signed with Miami and had 11 other offers from different NFL teams -Seeing all of the talented players that signed as undrafted free agents, it reminds us of how difficult it is to get drafted. Deuce Vaughn is a great example of this -With the conclusion of the 2023 NFL Draft, Georgia now has all of their 2021 defense drafted -Even with the recent struggles, Nebraska is still in the top 10 for all-time draft picks Show sponsored by GANA TRUCKING

From 6 QBs for the Spring Game, to 3 QBs a week later: Nebraska’s Casey Thompson enters the transfer portal May 01, 2023

Show notes

-We weren’t surprised to see Richard Torres and Logan Smothers enter the portal last week, but with Thompson being last year’s starting QB, it’s at least a tad more surprising -With that being said, Nebraska did bring in Jeff Sims from Georgia Tech and after the Spring session, he is expected to be the starting QB next season. But depth took a big hit this week…how much has your confidence in the picture changed with the latest departure? -Also, final update on who all entered the transfer portal in general from Nebraska and any big names from across the country…Payton Thorne is leaving Michigan State… -There are currently 88 scholarship players on the Husker football roster and they need to get that number down to 85 scholarship players -Just because a player enters the portal doesn't mean that they can't return. Would you want to see Logan Smothers return? Show sponsored by GANA TRUCKING
