Speaker 1 (00:00):
We go to Sports Brave. Now this would be the
(00:02):
Huscar Pos edition. Sean Callahan live in Lincoln, Rosie Okay
shan out. First week of the transfer portal, two thousand
went in there and twenty four of them are Huskers.
Any of those surprise you.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Well, the biggest ones obviously, and they've already landed. Jamari
Butler has gone to LSU, Daniel Kalin is now going
to Virginia. I mean, so we've seen a few of
these guys. Prince William Minyellen is going to play at
Old Myths. His brother is there right now too, And
you know this is part of the deal that we're
gonna have to get used to every year moving forward.
(00:37):
In college football, Stefan Thompson will follow Tony White to
Florida State. But you know, there's always, like i'd say,
Nate Barcashire still is probably one of the bigger surprises,
just because he's a local guy, walked on here, his
brother played here, and to see him go in after
kind of a strong finish to the year was a surprise.
(00:58):
And you know, I know Nebraska's work going to try
to get him back, but he's got some big suitors there.
Is just a big market right now. If you're a
player with experience, proven reps and snaps like borg Shure,
there's a market out there where you're going to be
paid handsomely on the nil market right now.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
And walk us through what is in the kid's head,
Because Nebraska is competitive. Nebraska doesn't have the nil money
that some schools have, but Nebraska has a lot. So
what would Nate be thinking? All of those intangibles you
mentioned seem fairly important to me, and maybe I'm way
out of bounds, but what what would be in his head?
(01:35):
Why would he want to go somewhere else?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Well, you know, I think he came in, as you know,
as a true walk on. Then he got I believe
he got probably some nil. Then he advanced into a
full nil deal which gave him as a walk on,
he basically got a scholar the amount of money that
would be equal to a scholarship and plus the stipend
and everything, and they call that a Husker ship. You know,
I'm guessing you know where he's going moving forward. He's
(02:03):
obviously gonna be a full scholarship guy, plus a big
deal with that, and that's where Nebraska's to you know,
make a decision. You know, what kind of big deal
do they want to give him on top of obviously
the full scholarship and everything else he had been receiving.
Because his value was not this a year ago. I'll
put it that way. Like he was, he was not
not a guy you'd give a deal to it. I
say a deal, I'm talking about a six figure type
(02:23):
contract on top of a scholarship. And that's what these
young men have to decide and what they want to do.
And I mean there's a left tackle on campus right
now visiting Nebraska, Isaiah World. He's six foot eight, three
hundred and ten pounds, played for Nevada who didn't win
a game in the Mount West, but he didn't give
up a sack all year. And he's got Organ, he's
got Nebraska, he's got Texas, A and M. He's got
Ohio State. He's a million dollar plus player in the portal.
(02:45):
He's in Lincoln right now as you speak. That is
the free agent world, very similar to the NFL. He's
when you hit the market and you're you have got value.
I mean there's a lot of money now that comes
with some of these guys.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
And there is a limit. I mean there is a
bottom to the well, there's a lot, it's a deep well.
The Nebraska can't give everybody they want everything they want.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, they have to decide. I mean, you know, like
there's a Michigan lineman that visited this week, Dominic get Dice.
They've got to decide. Is that a guy? You know
he started five games from Michigan this year over his
whole career, he's got one year. He's got a high
price tag for one year. But man, Kevin Gaelic taking
a long snapper with a near ninety grade on Pro
Football Focus, that's money, well spin, and that was probably
(03:27):
a cheap buy considering two games Nebraska loss. But I
look at what they're doing, guys. An NFL mindset, when
you build an NFL team, there's three money positions, quarterback,
left tackle, and edge rusher. Well, they got their quarterback.
We know they're investing in Dilan Ryola. They got their
edge rusher this past week, williams wan Arnie from Missouri.
He was a former five star. Now they've got a
(03:49):
five star tackle on campus. They're trying to take a
swing at in the portal Isaiah World. I shouldn't say
five start, but that's what he's being regarded as in
a portal world right now. And also receiver. I think
receiver is a huge priority where they're looking at. Probably
two guys Jalen George from Cal excuse me. Eric Rivers
(04:09):
from FIU is here right now. He had over a
thousand yards for FIU. But nysa hunter who has three
years of eligibility. He was Cal's number one receiver. He's
going to visit here later in the week. That's a
guy to watch very closely that Nebraska is high on
at this point. And then Dane Key, who was Kentucky's
top receiver, expected to visit later this week. Daikiel Schwartz
(04:33):
was his coach at Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Okay, about a minute or so to go. If you
are Nash had Mocker or Ty Robinson, you're getting talked
to by agents and they're going to say, Okay, you
have a chance to be in the NFL higher pick
because of your not only experience but talent. But playing
in that ballgame, if you get injured, man, you could
go off the table in a big hurry. What do
(04:56):
you think is going to happen with those two.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Guys, Well, I don't know how their draft stock is.
I mean, Tie is the one you need to worry about.
But they're practicing right now. You honestly haven't seen as
many Bowl opt outs other than the guys have gone
on the portal. You know, they've worked so hard to
get in a brasket at this point and they came
back for this reasoning. I'm hearing nothing at least today
that they're looking to go pro. And on the other side,
(05:19):
for Boston College, Donovan as a Ruku led the AC
He was the ACC Player of the Year. On defense,
he led the nation and quarterback sacks with sixteen point five.
He's still playing in this game and he's got a
much better draft stock than those two gentlemen you mentioned Jim,
So today it looks like all those guys are playing.
(05:40):
But yeah, you just never know what could come on
down the stretch. But they've worked so hard to get
in nebrasket at this point.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
All right, Sean, thanks our Husker Insider
