If this kid does Switch his commit I hope some of our fans learn from it. There was a lot said out in public that was unfortunate and we lucky it didn't cost us. It's a credit to this kid that he was able to look past that nonsense and at least consider us again.

YOU READY UK. FROST IS COMING FOR THE IN HOME. I'M SO FIRED UP I'M POSTING IN ALL CAPS 2 DAYS EARLY. I GET THAT WANDALE COMMITTED TO UK BUT YOU AND I KNOW THAT NU IS COMING LIKE ONE OF THOSE CHOO CHOO TRAINS. YOU SHOULD GIVE IT UP. JUST. GIVE. IT. UP. IF YOU DON'T GIVE IT UP WE CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENS AFTERWARDS. LOOK AT THE GUY WHO LOSES TO SLY, THAT'S GONNA BE YOU. ALL BROKEN AND STUFF. OK I'M OUT. TIME FOR MORE COFFEE.

No Riley would recommend he commit to Oklahoma

Over the years, I have grown to not get that excited when a player like this commits to Nebraska. That's mainly from the fact that we have had so many highly rated players like this never get to campus, not develop, transfer after a year or two.....etc...that I've just grown unemotional about it. However, this staff's ability to develop these types of players and bring them in with the right attitude...etc. has me starting to allow excitement again to sneak in.

Well, I can say I have added a ton of weight over the years and it helps in the sense that I cant get airborne. Cant get hit in the air, if you cant get into the air.

Oh look, there’s Cav in the front row recruiting for the Cuse

Lord of the Frings!

Welp, this didn't age well.

Probably just McRib being back at his favorite McDonalds

Fong changed CB to NU

Through hard work, relentless effort, and pure dedication he finally pulled it off. Hats off to Jeff Gambino.

He's going to be a Wingback, right? (screw that Duck-R nonsense).

Someone tell Runza to get rid of that damn dinosaur and let Ryan Held he your mascot.

Hip hip

I don't get the need to change divisions. Who knows what programs will look like 5 years from now. Are you going to change divisions every 5 years, based on recent performance?

That's it. It's a done deal. He's flipping out, therefore, there will be a flip.

Cool profile that goes pretty in depth Into Randy Gregory's struggles. Always thought he was a knucklehead, but it's a good lesson in never knowing how someone else's issues run. Sounds like he's got a rather colorful and supportive cast of characters keeping him on track. Good for him. Let's hope he continues his success. http://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/25426510/dallas-cowboys-randy-gregory-talks-being-real-bad-place

As someone who told all the experts on 247 to change their commitments this morning I personally commend all of you for staying steadfast in your commitment to make Nebraska great again and having the testicular fortitude to persevere through these difficult times. God Bless each and every one of you.

Tweet from Wandale's HS Coach:

I think this is the first time I’ve seen utmost spelled correctly in one of these messages. This guy’s a keeper.

You know....On second thought, I don't think Kentucky gave Wandale any money.

Big Ten: "Let's make sure we make it even HARDER to send a team to the playoff!" SEC: "......how can we make Alabama play the Citadel twice every year...." Pac 12: "What's a playoff?"

And this why we should do away with the West/East division names! We need something that really embodies the B1G, and all her tradition. Something that screams SUCCESS..... ..... I've got it! Legends and Leaders! It's perfect!

Can we get rid of Rutgers and Maryland and then move MSU to the west?

Did some research with on Gopher board. This was a post after the scrimmage with Creighton early in the year, so this is a bit dated but: Below is a breakdown of where I think we stand after our Creighton and Maroon/Gold scrimmage. Lots of positives and negatives of course. We have a long way to go but I still see a lot of good things! Keep in mind both the Creighton and Maroon/Gold scrimmages aren't truly an indicator but we can still get some good information and data from it. The one thing I always try to do when evaluating our team is be truthful. My grades are pretty low right now. That's okay, we will get better. Seven new guys and another surgery to Eric Curry means it's going to take some time. Offense: C- Half court execution has been pretty good at times. We are moving the ball well but still need to flow better. I have put an emphasis on getting the ball up the court quickly and trying to feed to post early. We still have a long way to go in that category. Our shot selection won't cut it. We tend to take a lot of shots that we want our opponents to take. We are 3-for-29 on challenged shots in our first two games. That's 10 percent! That's a losing formula. 33 missed screens vs. Creighton and 52 total missed screens in the Maroon/Gold scrimmage. 13 assists and 15 turnovers is no good vs. Creighton. Defense: D- The goal is always 35-plus deflections per game. Creighton we had 29 and Maroon/Gold we had 22. To our defense the Maroon/Gold scrimmage wasn't the total length of a real game but still we are not active and disruptive enough. Transition defense has been a big point of emphasis in the preseason. We have to communicate better. We also allowed the ball into the post way too much. 3-point field goal defense has been solid but we still have to get out there quicker and take away the attempt. Rebounding: C- Too many missed blockouts for the defense. We chart offensive rebounding opportunities every game. We went 70 percent of the time vs. Creighton and 59 percent of the time in our Maroon/Gold scrimmage. Rebounding is a mentality. We know we can't win in the Big Ten if we don't control the boards. 95%: C- What's 95%? This percentage is something we talk often about as it pertains to what goes into winning. These are all the little things that have nothing to do with what most players care about. The ball. Most players have the ball in their hands 5 percent of the game. What you do with the other 95 percent is vital in winning. We aren't huddling often enough on the court when we get the opportunity to do so. Our attitude is good but we can still fuel each other more on the court with positive body language and energy. We need to tighten up big time in this area. This is probably more important than any of the other categories! I Practice Harder Than You Jersey Update We chart stats in every practice and do a plus/minus system at the end of every day. It's really helped our guys compete and stay engaged. The winner gets a grey jersey every week that has the words "I practice harder than you" on it. The bottom four does extra conditioning at the end of the week. Below are the winners. I'll keep the bottom four in house. It's amazing how consistent the winners and losers are. Week 1 - Amir Coffey Week 2 - Payton Willis, Jordan Murphy Week 3 - Jordan Murphy Week 4 - Amir Coffey Week 5 - Jordan Murphy Injury Update Unfortunately Eric Curry had to have another surgery and will be out four to six weeks. I can't stress how important Eric is to our team. We need him back healthy and better than ever! It's going to be a very challenging November without him. Everyone else is going to have to step up. Roster Breakdown Dupree McBrayer - Missed the Maroon/Gold scrimmage due to a family emergency back home. Rebounded the ball well vs. Creighton with six rebounds. Zero assists, two turnovers is no good. He's playing hard and showing great leadership. He's primed for a big senior year. Jordan Murphy - Murph is playing at a high level and has been really productive on both ends. Needs to block out better on defense and screen better on offense. Becoming unstoppable down low. Amir Coffey - Was very good in the Maroon/Gold scrimmage. Have played him multiple positions and he has transitioned smoothly. Everyone talks about how underrated Jordan Murphy is all the time. He is but what about Amir??? Big season ahead! Gabe Kalscheur - Has been a pleasant surprise. Gabe is all business on the court and it shows. Was terrific vs. Creighton. Very physical for a freshman. Has to stay out of foul trouble. More than just a shooter. Eric Curry - Unfortunately had to have surgery again and will miss the next four to six weeks. Huge blow for our team. We will eagerly await his return. Feel so bad for Eric because he worked so hard to get back. He has to keep the faith and stay positive. We will stay on him! Isaiah Washington - Improving on offense. Really advances the ball well up the court. Has to work on turnovers and shot selection. Love when he's attacking downhill to the rim. I can definitely see progress. Defensively he still has a long way to go. Jarvis Omersa - Plays so hard! Love how physical he is. Jarvis has amazing leadership qualities on the court. He can really make a difference in that category. Future is very bright. Daniel Oturu - Very good in both games. Very efficient on the block. Has to sprint the court more. Love his timing when he blocks shots. Going to be thrust into a bigger role while Eric is out. We need him to be ready! Brock Stull - Still getting back in game shape and learning the system. Every rep in practice is important for Brock. Very good shot fake and passer. Smart player! Has to be patient offensively and trust it will come. Matz Stockman - Had an impressive Maroon/Gold scrimmage. Eight for 12 for 19 points is obviously good. Still has to get in better shape and sprint the court better. He can help us! Michael Hurt - Has really improved. Doing all the little things and hitting shots. Love how hard he is competing. He's playing like a veteran. We need that! Marcus Carr - Still waiting to hear word on his waiver from the NCAA. Hopefully we will hear something before the season starts. We are optimistic that we will receive good news. Marcus is a game changer. Competes on both ends and is very confident on the court. Battle tested. Winner! Payton Willis - Payton, along with Marcus, wasn't allowed to travel with us to Creighton. Payton has been very impressive in practice! Love his shot making ability and overall skill. Brady Rudrud - Missed some time due to illness but back feeling better. Can provide great leadership on our team. Hunt Conroy - Obnoxious New Orleans Saints fan.

Ran entirely by bees. Beeees nuts!

Getting a player that did a dead relative commitment to somewhere else and then flip to Nebraska would be a welcome change of pace.

The hell is Nebraska Wasp lol

I don't care what our record is, Kentucky fan talking smack about Nebraska when it comes to football simply can't be taken seriously. Yeah, we peaked in the mid 90s, and it will be nice adding another shelf to that trophy case in the near future. Kentucky football peaked in, oh, October 2018, and that's their ceiling, with no need for a trophy case at all.

Kentucky fans,

Bookmarking that one to read while sipping championship champagne some day (soon)

Yeah, the variety is certainly interesting and I would even say contradictory at times. I believe I read something within the last year about the successes of 'dual threat' or 'mobile' QB's in the spread offense. I don't recall if it was directly related to Frost or not, but, it statistically suggested that the dual threat QB's with a pass first, run second mentality are far more valuable and more successful in these systems. I believe it mentioned guys like Mariota and Newton, two QB's who could run the ball well but their passing skills were what truly put them over the top. If I had a preference, I'd rather have a pass first, run second guy in this offense who will exhaust his passing options before exploring the rushing ones. That type of player appears to excel more in the spread system.

can someone embed the Michael Lynn tweet saying big news coming today and ya'll are gonna love it. PS he retweeted Wandale yesterday as well.....its happening you SOBs its happening

If Mo puts in the off-season work that Ozigbo did, then lookout m'fers!

Powerful stuff from Turner. Wow.

I do think it is always smart to commit early enough so you have time to de-commit, re-commit and then de-commit.
