Got himself 27 carries at 5.6 a clip for 151 yds and a MAC conference championship and a bowl game somewhere. Always liked ATIII....Cant wonder how we would have fared if we had kept the band together.
Anthony (Tre) Tyus III

He would have been helpful. But then so would Priebe and Senda, Gill and others. This has been the danger and we are having yet another exodus this year,
NU’s best three players hitting the road is close to an exodus unless Braun spends big to replace them
The portal doesn’t officially open until tomorrow.
“Three best players” is also pushing it.
Three "of the best" with eligibility left would not be "pushing it".
Tyus would have helped this year. Komo seemed a little better later in the year but he was pretty poor a lot of the year and Himon isn't an every-down guy despite his genuine explosiveness. It would have been a lifesaver to have Tyus in the games Porter was hurt, which were some of the closer games, or to spell Porter on the goal line.
It's pretty close to the three best returning players, unfortunately. Puts us in a hole with our big NIL warchest, Braun needs countering impact players for each of them.
If they get a bunch of impact players and none are in the secondary and somebody wants to make the argument that we feel okay there and wanted to point resources elsewhere, sure, okay, I would accept that.
The NIL and admissions news simply means the bar for this stretch is now higher. The roster needs to be a lot better in a few weeks that it was at the end of the season, and we already went backwards a bunch. Expectations for Braun are higher and excuses are lower.
Challenge accepted - name them. Excludes graduates and incoming freshman and very sad if P, PK or LS are among them.
