I think Iowa State has been a better football program than ours the last 2-3 seasons. I think Matt Campbell is a heck of a coach. And I think offer lists are a single tool in an evaluation of a player, not the end-all, be-all, or did you forget that our main competition for Ameer Abdullah was Vanderbilt?

Love these kind of previews.

if we only had some sort of agreement to stop this kind of st...oh wait. nm

At this stage he is bigger, faster, stronger than Garrett Nelson was with better offers....

I think it's also more the fact that this kid has barely played football. He didn't play all last year and has grown a ton since his soph season. We will see how he does this year as a SR who is healthy again. I agree that offers usually tell you about how good someone is, but we would miss out on several good players from the midwest who don't get the same exposure.

Back when Christy played for Nebraska the coaching staff let him call his own games. He also handled a couple of A&M games when Childress wasn't there and did well. I think he will do fine as far as pitch calls and staff management. The part that is harder to guess about for me would be pitching mechanics & development. I do not know much about baseball but maybe coaching pitching is more about how to recognize when mechanics are off and correcting those flaws and not as much about developing pitches? So maybe it takes a good eye vs practical experience in throwing pitches? Maybe there is someone on the board that can speak to this as I am guessing. Time will tell on that. Catchers generally make good coaches. I think folks agree on that. It should be noted that Bolt, Christy and Silva were all on staff together at Nebraska so Bolt is familiar with what Silva brings to the table. As far as letting Silva go, part of the decision could have to do with chemistry or perhaps it has to do with recruiting. Guessing again. Bolt is reportedly bringing in Harvell a top notch recruiter with Southern ties and he will probably be the recruiting coordinator. Maybe that was something Silva didn't want to give up? Just spit balling here. Maybe he wanted a local guy to recruit locally and a national guy? The Huskers.com interview seems to indicate it's all about chemistry and recruiting. Also I saw somewhere that people thought 300K was low. I am not sure if it was on this board. I do not think that it is low. I saw an article dated 2017 that baseball head coaches in the B1G made an average of $245K (or something close to that) The author said he couldn't find 2 Head coach salaries (Erstad and one other) but this is a decent guideline. So $300K for a first time Head Coach in the Big ten two years later sounds about right to me.

How do you know he didn’t? It is pretty clear that he made a run at Childress.

Actually looking forward to playing them this season, haven't had that mindset for quite some time.

Top 10: 1. TAMU (Buzz Williams) 2. Nebraska (Fred Hoiberg) 3. Arkansas (Eric Musselman) 4. Alabama (Nate Oats) 5. Michigan (Juwan Howard) 6. Cincinnati (John Brannen) 7. Tulane (Ron Hunter) 8. Virginia Tech (Mike Young) 9. St. John’s (Mike Anderson) 10. Vanderbilt (Jerry Stackhouse)

Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and get another job.

Watching his video from the Pipeline camp, this kid has potential. May not be an immediate contributor, but I bet he develops into a really good player. He's probably a good senior season away from even more P5 offers.

I usually wait until one class is signed before starting the list for the next class. But it seems like we have a lot of 2021 kids visiting already so why not now? Again, this is guys who have visited or listed Nebraska in some sort of Top X list. I'm probably missing some but this is what I have so far. Current Scholarships/Commits QB - Peter Costelli, Dematrius Davis, Santino Marucci RB - Javion Hunt, Cornelius Shaw WR - TE - AJ Rollins OT - Teddy Prochazka, Trey Zuhn, Henry Lutovsky OG/C - NT - DE - Ryan Keeler, Jeffrey Bowie ILB - Jaden Harrell OLB - TJ Bollers, Travion Ford, Ethan Downs, Seth Malcom, Landon Jackson, Dylan Brooks CB - Avante Dickerson S - Bryce Stephens ATH - Denzel Burke,

This is one of those we shouldn't win, but I think we will.... and it'll be low key big.

Please vote out every single one of these anti-science douchebags.

Where's the Bob Diaco option?

Run De'Rickey run........ to Nebraska

My goal isnt to be Iowa State, nor should we hope every low 3* player turns into the next Ameer. There are hundreds of examples when it doesn't work out that way. I hope he turns into a good player just like you do.

He probably knows what socialism is. But he knows he can just throw the word out there to get the idiots to not like something.

Of course it’s not easy, but championships across sports shouldn’t be compared apples to apples. If I’m understanding what I’m reading, there are currently less than 50 division I bowling teams and I’m guessing they don’t all offer scholarhips. Back in 2004 there were less than 50 bowling teams of any division. Nebraska mostly likely had a pretty big leg up in getting athletes. Straub might be the best coach but just throwing the # of championships out there doesn’t tell the whole story.

If the line can up to snuff some more this offense will become that much tougher to defend.

Anything that helps another person to them is socialism.

That doesn't even make any sense

This one could have been much worse, because this guy was loaded for bear. But law enforcement quickly returned fire after this person shot at the building, he fled, and was shot dead in a parking lot near the scene. Here's video of the gunman going down. Not graphic, but hidden in case anyone is squeamish. And probably the most amazing part of this is, a Dallas Morning News photographer, Tom Fox, was there just as this all started, and took this picture as the guy reloaded.

OV set for 9/27 - Ohio St weekend

I agree. We have a history and catch phrase like pipeline to sell these kids. Also I love seeing us do something different- make the big men feel special. The skill positions always have their camps to shine. I can see this paying major dividends over the years.

Solid midwest, low P5 player. He seems talented enough to warrant an offer, but hopefully higher tier defensive lineman are in the fold.

I agree with this. I do like the addition of Harvell as hitting coach though. He was one of the guys that Aggies wanted to replace Bolt with.

OV this weekend.

Christy as a pitching coach is very underwhelming.

Deleted - fell for some fake news.

I would be interested in how much $$$ Moos was discussing with Childress. Moos claims that the only person he offered the job to was Bolt, so it might not have gotten that far, but it'd be a good indication of how serious he's taking the baseball program.

Those are the 5 that started the 95 Orange Bowl. Humphrey spelled Graham and Dishman spelled Zatechka. The other 3 played the whole game. But to be honest, none of them other than Stai look familiar to me in this picture.....and I was about 32 at the time.

In the context of the argument being had this doesn't make that much sense. If Trump wants to make the argument that its ok if Russia influences the election in his favor because we influence other elections that is simply ludicris. One may be morally wrong(us doing it to others) but the other is against the law in the US.

Probably one in here somewhere

I actually think Hannah could be a great player for us. Getting him and Henrich in the same class was a great pull.

Great read

My favorite Marvin.

Here's what I'll say about Cook vs. Pettit. You can't make a bad choice here. I think Cook deserves every ounce of praise he gets, and likely deserves a statue when he retires. I'll start the funding campaign for it. But Pettit did something Cook has never done. Never had to do, because Pettit already did it. Terry Pettit created a national powerhouse out of thin air. When he came to Nebraska in 1977 there was barely a varsity volleyball program. Prior to 1975, Nebraska didn't even sanction women's sports. Pat Sullivan was our first Volleyball coach, and created the program out of what was basically a club, going 81-23 in her two seasons. When Pettit took over in 1977, he quickly realized that he had next to no recruiting base in his own state. So Pettit not only trained his own team, he went around the state training high school coaches how to teach volleyball. And he did it again the next year. And the year after that. And the year after that. He basically taught the state of Nebraska the sport of Volleyball. You can go to Chadron, Norfolk, Tecumseh, watch Class A, Class C1, Class D2 matches in this state and you'll see kids who know the sport, many of whom have legitimate aspirations of playing D1 volleyball in college. The Club scene in this state is crazy, and regularly produces top talent that competes & wins on a national level. That's entirely because Pettit created the knowledge of the sport, the passion, over decades. I mean, Cook's record & winning percentage, conference titles & national championships speak for themselves. I wouldn't trade Cook for anyone - maybe not even Pettit in his prime. Cook may be the best volleyball coach of all time. But that's the only reason you wouldn't put Pettit in there. Above Devaney. Above Pepin. Above Osborne. Also, little addendum to that - the kids that go through these programs are students first. And every kid that went through Pettit's program in the 1970s earned a degree while she played. You put four years into Pettit's program, you graduated. Also, every kid from the 1980s. And the 1990s. In fact, every kid who's ever gone through this program, ever, has earned a degree. No other sport can boast a 100% graduation rate. That continues with Cook, but it started with Pettit.
