Commit Watch? (2 Viewers)

Every time we think the roster needs to shrink, be it a scholarship guy or walk on leaving, this staff adds to the roster. We took a 24 walk on Safety and now maybe his guy.

Spring time wild west, Game of Thrones, royal rumble just for a roster spot much less a depth chart position..

I wonder if it indicates that 4th/5th year non contributing walk ons will be extremely rare on the roster

Hopefully.

I know that Rhule made some changes to exactly who is on the sideline after the Michigan shit happened this year. He had been talking to someone the home game after that game and pointed out that there were like 700 people or so on the sideline hours before a home game. He told them that "This needs to change." The next week that number was reduced to about 200-300.

Rhule doesn't like a huge number of people on the sideline. So unless you've got legitimate business there, your days are numbered.

There's never been a reason for a roster of 150. You can only camp with 85(?) and you can only travel with around that number as well. So to waste time and resources with more than maybe 110-120 is ridiculous.

If the fans of walk-ons and fat running backs take offense to that, come at me.

With college football changing and there being fewer opportunities for high school kids to earn a P5 scholarship, the quality of player we can get as a walkon might change in the next 5-6 years. That being said, there might come a day when we are taking 10 walk-ons a year that would all be more than capable of playing at a place like Colorado St, Tulsa, UNI, etc. If that day comes, I'm all for it.

But the days of taking 30 walk-ons a year that all should be playing at Hastings or Doane and letting them roam the sidelines on game day with their hoodies on underneath their jerseys and skinny jeans need to be done. It serves no purpose and those kids have no shot at helping the team.

Go be glorified spectators somewhere else.

Yeah I believe Rhule when he talks about how he has to see an actual path to playing for everyone he adds to the roster. Of course not everyone will end up playing because that's life but you can't have guys who are just warm bodies.

Starting last year, you can camp with 120. I am guessing that is what we are down to as far as total roster in a couple of years.

If you can camp with 120 then it makes sense to carry 120.

Remember back when SF said he wanted the roster to be back at like 150 and 90% of Husker Nation was like....HELL YA!!! Time to trim the fatted calf and I'm here for it!

Yes. And the precious limit was 105. I’m. It sure it was ever 85. Might be confusing that with the scholarship limit.

that there were like 700 people or so on the sideline hours before a home game.

700? Is that an exaggeration? Thats an obscenely high number to have on a sideline. Can you physically fit 700 people between the 25s?
