Awesome as always. Keep up the good work! Gbr and go bigten in these playoffs! Whoop whoop.

Dude! Did you just wake up and produce this static shot video? I’m falling asleep. Lose the background! You look like Close Encounters of the Third Kind alien invasion moderator. Condense this video down from a laborious 9 minutes with bulleted items of your top takes supported with graphics and images. Pick up the pace a little and give the viewer collaborative content to support your opinions - because that’s what it is - opining your viewpoint into a watchable video that keeps the listener engaged and wanting more. This would be a much better video at about 2 minutes long. Good luck with your productions.

[@collegefootballwithsam]

UPDATE: This video was made before Dane Key committed. His commitment is huge as I think he is the immediate WR1 on the team and he should be a big weapon for Dylan Raiola and Dana Holgorsen to push their offense through.

Yea if we can get a OLine our offense will be deadly next season

[@goingforgold_8536]

With another top end FCS CB we are now the #2 Portal Class in the BIG with only Wisconsin ahead of us. I am EXTREMELY happy with how Matt Rhule has changed his strategies and approaches from the past, Made the necessary changes at OC midseason, aggressive with hiring amid coaching turnover, and responded quickly to a portal that ravaged the team.

[@johnhamilton7797]

@@logbro9115 The offensive line is fine, partner. It’s not 1985.

Merry Christmas Sam 🎄 Thank you for this Nebraska 🌽 update. Watching from Cebu, Philippines 🌴🏈

[@CraigKerwood-001]

I'm in Cebu, Philippines also! GBR!

[@MrZzyzxx]

looking forward to yet another year of "Sam Gems" upcoming year............Best to you Sam and your family

[@johnhamilton7797]

Sam, I enjoy your stuff! I think the NIL/Portal has thrown a curveball at Rhule. However, I think Rhule has been very good at making the adjustment. I think a hybrid approach with high school recruiting/development and select NIL/Portal selections can work.

[@ThePetesBeat]

Sam is feeding his patreon with this NE content 😂

[@brandonm6052]

And we just eat it up. Off-season world champs 40 years running

[@DionPryor396]

Well maybe you don't but I appreciate his hard work and effort for Nebraska fans.. why do you give a shit anyway.

[@brandonm6052]

@DionPryor396 since I see all the NE content I somewhat view him as a pseudo cornhusker channel. Especially when he pops on corncrazed.

[@ryandaly5353]

Nebraska is currently 10th nationally and 2nd in the big 10 for transfer portal rankings.

[@MikeyMike-fb5hx]

Because they lost a ton and they are going off of sheer volume in the rankings. They are bringing in a lot, because they lost a lot = rankings will be high. These rankings go by sheer volume. They probably lead the nation in "production lost" to the portal and graduation.

[@CivilizedSavage]

​@MikeyMike-fb5hx hard to lose the most production when you didn't produce all season. Defensively, sure. Not on offense.

[@get_yokedonpsn6709]

​@@MikeyMike-fb5hxplease don't act like they're bringing in a class like UCLA, Kansas or MSU. They have 11 commits and 4 are 4*, 4 are 3*. Don't pretend they're bringing in 25 2&3* players.

[@ryandaly5353]

@@MikeyMike-fb5hx their volume actually isn’t that high, and regardless of the reason the ranking is the ranking.

[@jbaker7439]

@ryandaly5353 They had better be because they lost a lot. Currently they have 11 incoming and 24 outgoing. They lost a 5 star incoming fresh TE so they need offense, they lost 2 4 star edge rushers and only replaced 1 in portal. Their recruiting class is 20 so they are doing ok. But I can’t stand the over reactions in portal. This years portal is below last years in terms of talent with 2 days left to declare. And you see everyone from Florida state to Nebraska to Auburn to OU talking smack but all of them are in need. Nebraska better get it done considering the talent. Finishing 7-5 isn’t acceptable.

[@drunkpiece2522]

Hey Sam, what are you planning for the offseason as far as your channel goes? Kind of an issue with being CFB only as the content will really slow down in the off-season. I continue to think you do a very good job and I let people know that, so I hope you continue to grow.

[@armandhammer3782]

Starting to feel it. Go Big Red. Long overdue. B1G is dialed in.

[@jesusnewcovenant]

I'm of the view that we need to upgrade two OL spots at a minimum; but we seem to get beat out on thos most important position.

[@skydog4049]

They added Dane Key from Kentucky.

[@jbaker7439]

They need as many as they can get because they have one of the highest losses in scholarship players outbound thru the portal. Totals. Right now it’s 11 in and 24 out. 45 of the top 50 players are spoken for.

[@natedasaint]

Matt Rhule finally understands that his time is limited if he stays 50/50 on season records. We want to compete for championships, right now (period).

[@Levi-tm4gl]

My concern is, yeah, the transfer receivers looked good but so did the two this year and they arguably under performed, especially in the BIG facing tougher competition. And the running back room is thin if Johnson goes down

[@The_G_89]

Neyor wasn’t that good. Banks was solid though and dependable. But Neyor didn’t play a full season since Wyoming. He was lazy and dropped a lot of easy balls thrown to him. Getting Hunter and Key is an upgrade for Nebraska.

[@tc9869]

Sure adding some good players is great, won't change much next season. I assure you a 5-7 season will be a win next year, trust me. Bad coaches, bad situational coaching, terrible special teams (and you bring that coach back?). CIN - Win, Akron - Win, Hou Christian = Win, then BIG10 play Husker might win Northwestern and MSU, that's it. So that is 5 wins and 7 loses.

[@smokes1308]

GOOOO BIGGG REDDD!!

[@thehappyhermit01]

Looks good on paper. Let's see how it translates on the field. Remember, Huskers have always recruited well, but how's that worked out for the past decade or so? Plus, they've lost a lot of players from last season's team.

[@MikeyMike-fb5hx]

Hell, half of those freshmen they just got and half the portal dudes they got won't even be there next year. It is the "Great Culture" Rhule is building there.

[@jesusrivera743]

Nebraska means business As coach Rhule has stated year three is Key

[@MikeyMike-fb5hx]

He's finally figuring out the portal. It took a bunch of players who would have started/ been in the 2-deep to realize, "Oh crap! I better use this portal thing really heavy, because they aren't hanging around." Nebraska = The new Missouri. Lose half your team every year and go buy em in the portal.

[@jbaker7439]

If they meant business how’d Ruhle let 24 players rush to the door in the portal? Nebraska is only behind a few other power teams in terms of scholarship players leaving. Yall over hyping yourselves. I get hope is easy to sell. Need 9 wins next season. I see 6 hard games and that’s without having Oregon or Ohio State on the schedule.

[@jesusrivera743]

@ Let them leave maybe we’ll start winning big. It says something when your team is going to a bowl game and you won’t play in it . If your heart isn’t in it then go we don’t want you . Where does Nebraska 2025 portal class rank check that out and we ain’t done yet bro. Year 3 is the jump trust coach Rhule. If we beat BC first winning season in 8 years. That means something to Husker loyalists . GBR

[@jbaker7439]

@jesusrivera743 I get loyalty. And having the faith. But I don’t rock with delusions and non reality either. Yall haven’t replaced the talent yall had. Point blank. 24 players outgoing, and several at much higher 4 star and 5 star than coming in. (Which is 11 thus far). The unreality is like “look at this great transfer. It’s fixing to be sick!” And before you start downing players who leave. The team started 5-0. You can hardly blame them with the poor coaching and poor development and poor game calling down the stretch. Why should they believe the staff are doing well?

[@michaelvaladez5460]

Go big red Baron!!!

[@JeremyMcIntyre-v1n]

Yes and no. Nebraska is a lot more active this year. But they have a lot more players leaving this year seniors and the portal. The portal is only getting started, it goes until after spring ball. I think they will try to get another NT and some OL but those positions are hard to come by. But if I'm a husker, I'd feel good about the roster. And even more importantly, the coaches, satt was so bad as OC.

[@jbaker7439]

Declaration window closes in 2 days and out of the 50 top players 45 have declared a school they’re going to. Not much left to grab. Will have to see what the last minutes are.

[@JeremyMcIntyre-v1n]

@jbaker7439 that could be true. I think the portal opens twice more next year before the season starts. The portal shouldn't even open until after the bowl season. But that's how they do it for now.

[@PrimeTyme-o1o]

NEBRASKA WILL BE 6-6 OR 7-5 THEY'LL NEVER BE A BLUE BLOOD AGAIN THE 70'S..80'S AND 90'S ARE LONG GONE THEYLL NEVER WIN ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP KIDS DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT NEBRASKA ANYMORE IT'S ALL OVER😂😂😂😂😂😂😂SAD BUT TRUE

[@randyferguson8163]

This is Fake news, Nebraska sucķs out loud and a couple people will not make these guys any better at all..... Nebraska needs a real q.b.

[@collegefootballwithsam]

The 2025 season is a massive one for Nebraska. I never said that it would be a successful one because I don't know if it will be, but Rhule is being put to the test in 2025 for sure. If they earn 8-9 wins, he is probably the guy, but if they win 6 games again, then real concerns begin to show.
