9 players from the two-deep are gone, including the starting center and starting RB (both NFL). Starting WR, starting DL and starting OLB.

All these kids should check out the history of the portal. 

Brother is reading an article stating that Chubba Purdy has interest from TCU, north Texas, and Cal.   But, his first offer of a scholarship is from San Jose st.

Might want to keep his ship at UNL and compete with Dylan

Wonder what protocol is when leaving one school.Do they as Tom Bodett says "leave the light on" in case said student decides to return or is his schollie immediately retracted or depends on a deal struck up? Like "well if you can't beat out killer Kowalski who is portaling in then you are a walk on" - asking for a friend

I'd guess it is a individual decision between each player and coach. 

Some coaches are probably tougher than others

7 in the portal???
Of those 9 from the two-deep, yes.

All told, there are 12 in the portal and 14 total gone.

Of the 12 in the portal, 3 have found jobs so far.

Of the 19 who left last year, only 11 found jobs elsewhere.

Wisconsin losing defensive players may make a difference, depending on what Nussmeier looks like and how long the WRs play. 

Losing offensive players wouldn't worry me at all, since if the LSU defense holds serve, Wisconsin is about to look like a group of All-Stars. 
Losing an NFL-bound RB worries me.

The two playing today are not P5 RB's. One is a converted safety and the other one is a converted fullback.

Everyone thinks they're the exception.

Linebacker Randolph Kpai,* who has not appeared in a game during his three seasons in Lincoln, has entered the transfer portal.

Kpai makes the move ahead of the Jan. 2 deadline for players to leave their current school. Other Husker scholarship players to depart during the 30-day window include tight end Jake Appleget and quarterbacks Jeff Sims and Chubba Purdy.

NU has added one transfer from the portal in defensive back Blye Hill but continues to target others at positions including receiver, running back, linebacker and defensive line.
