it will be interesting to see what kind of team they come up with

my question how in the world did UC get 41 players another team would be interested in
I'm guessing less than 1/3 of those kids will have P5 chances - if that many.

you'd expect that poor kid to transfer

I don't view it as "utterly meaningless".  It's one bit of data, often misleading, but at times a sign a player is breaking out.  But one of the stars in the Dawg ST last year was Arik Gilbert at TE, he's now in Lincoln.

Very talented player, no doubt, could be some head issues.

I haven't watched the tape yet, but according to stats, Gilbert didn't catch a pass in the Husker Spring Game

Georgia transfer Arik Gilbert dropped a perfectly-thrown 30-yard opportunity from Heinrich Haarberg and later caught a ball out of bounds.

Nebraska defensive lineman Stephon Wynn has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, according to On3’s Matt Zenitz.

This past year was his first with the Cornhuskers after spending the first years of his career with Alabama.

Wynn played high school football at Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy, where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 84 overall recruit and No. 9 defensive lineman in the 2018 cycle, according to the On3

4th program.....LSu, Florida, UGA, Nebraska....if we assume he enjoys playing football, he doesn't play much football.  He must like paperwork and practice.  Maybe he just like wearing different uniforms most of all.

Ohio State WR Caleb Burton in the portal. Class of '22, gone after just one year. He was a 5* early on the 'crootin process but saw his rankings tumble into top 150 overall range. He's from Texas, so wonder if he goes back home to play for the Longhorns or A&M.

I'd like to see Gilbert gets his S together and play meaningful snaps.  I am dubious.  He was behind 3 other guys at UGA.

he appears to be behind a couple in Lincoln, for now

this guy has some talent...... has been hampered by knee injuries 

Thomas Fidone II was rated as the No. 1 tight end in the 2021 recruiting class by both Rivals and 247Sports. Rivals listed Fidone as the No. 31 overall recruit in the country, while 247Sports tabbed Fidone as the nation’s No. 41 recruit. He was the consensus pick as the top recruit in the state of Iowa. Fidone held offers from nearly every major program in the country and chose Nebraska over Iowa, LSU, Michigan, Notre Dame and Penn State.
