Cameron Ward ??? (4 Viewers)

[MaxHuskers34]

Whoever we get - Shapen, Leavitt, both or someone else - they will be able to say "we tried to get the most expensive guys out there". My guess is that is the objective of the McCord/Ward trips.

I'd love to be wrong.

That's what the Ward trip feels like. However there seems to be a lot of smoke around Nebraska and McCord now in the "national" spaces on X.

If we end up with Shapen we might as well just pack in it for your next year.

I just can’t imagine we’d spend the time and money these trips entail for some sort of “performance art.”

I can. The NIL effort needs some good PR, and people are critical of us not being able to go into the portal very much this go around. I think they could easily justify the expenditure on the basis of the goodwill they get feeding the fanbase.

Just look at how people are reacting.

Schools routinely spend $200k on a search firm just for the AD to hire his hunting buddy

someone posted elsewhere - I have no idea if this is true - that he already said No because he doesn't want to play against tOSU next year.

I'm reading that exact article right now lol. I hadn't seen that until now.

And according to 247Sports college football analyst Brad Crawford, there are eight that stick out: Miami, NC State, Rutgers, Louisville, Mississippi State, Kentucky, Nebraska, and Pittsburgh.

That said, according to another report from Pete Nakos of Tater Island, Nebraska is likely not going to be in the mix.

"Kyle is not going to want to play for a lesser Big Ten opponent," Nakos said. "He doesn't want to be in a position where he plays Ohio State. I don't think that's something he wants to do."

Here's the full quote from the SI article I am on.

IMO, our NIL efforts will only get good PR if we LAND someone who allegedly has a high asking price. If we visit the Howards/McCords/Wards of the world and end up landing only Leavitt then it ends up being a net negative for our NIL PR and most fans will be banging the "Nebraska won't spend what it takes" drum even harder.

I just don't think we visit unless we think we have a puncher's chance. (insert dumbandumbersoyouretellingmetheresachance.gif)

About as average QB we could get

"You think he's better than what we've got?"

I don't think we should roll into next year with the same room we currently have. That being said, give me Chubba over Shapen.

This is far worse than every other player in the marketplace. We're probably going to be the ugly chick at bar close

Probably need to switch this slogan to “You think he’s worse than what we’ve got?”

SI is dead to me and lost all credibility after naming Deion Sportperson Of The Year…..

 

[Savedatmoney]

This is laughable. He's not coming to Nebraska.

@BIG TONE SOPRANO is right. Nebraska fans are miserable

 

[NSECTA4]

If we had gotten Cam Ward last time around, Scott Frost is still our coach.

Ward is a wet dream in a Mark Whipple offense.

Lifetime td:int ratio of 119:30. Nearly 14,000 yards and a 65% completion rate.

He was never going anywhere but Wazzu the first time around

 

[Faux Sean Callahan]

I mean, they can not go and fans can be pissed that they settled. They can go and people can be pissed that they are wasting their time outside their lane.

Shoot your shot, but have the expectations of a lottery ticket

@BIG TONE SOPRANO is right. Nebraska fans are miserable

But do you actually think Nebraska has a shot

McCord is a beta and best we move in if he doesn't want to play his former school. What is he going to do in the NFL if he gets Drafted by the Giants, dropped and then signs with the Commanders. Refuse to suit up? What a pussy...
