Come on Carter! Pull the trigger already. I have things to do this afternoon. :-)

He wouldn't be the first young man who found out his passion wasn't football and needed to get his course on an even keel. I hope however he becomes a factor in a much better Husker football year.

Yes I check recruiting several times a day and yes as you say there are already a number of Texas kids. I like the thought of making Texas a base for recruiting. I am going to have to hope these coaches can develop the recruits they get and that the coaches are as good at identifying talent as we were sold on. For the last 20 years that has been our hope and we are batting about .150.

These last two commits are head scratchers for me. One kid had an offer from Eastern Illinois and the other to freakin Missouri Southern. Where are all the connections to the Texas kids I read about that Bob Wager was going to funnel to Nebraska?? I realize the coaches are still behind in establishing connections to 2024 kids. It appears we are the new home for lost and wayward high schoolers.

And has nearly a 42" vertical. There was a twitter post I think early on in this post that showed him in the gym and he had placed a pool noodle on the rim of a basketball hoop. He then took a running jump and touched it with the top of his head. He may not be an every down receiver but if we have a Qb who can place a deep ball he would be a match up nightmare or would draw double coverage and open up the underneath routes. If I remember correctly Trey Palmer had a reputation not running clean routes and not having great hands. When our O line gave Casey T enough time to throw and give Trey enough time to get open it worked out ok more than once.

Grant Muessel of Hail Varsity, Martinez reported logging a 4.28-second (!) 40-yard dash, a 3.83-second shuttle drill, a 39” vertical leap and a 10'9” broad jump.

He is a very fast young man. His hip and leg action is impressive however his arm motion lacks fluidity. His hands look closed but I can't tell if he has fists clenched. I'm not sure if he will pursue track at the college level anyway so it may not matter.

They are always great in field events. This year they had enough strength in the track events to dominate.

I think Josiah may be as huge of a pick up as any of the other three. It looks like he understands rebound angles, boxing out and how to get a shot off inside the paint.

Evan Cooper must have already scouted every football player in the country all the way down to 8th grade and he is starting on 7th graders now.

This team has lost every bit of confidence they started the season with. Even one of our best hitters has only had one hit in the last three games. Our hitters are fooled on the slider almost every at bat. Every pitcher we play knows what we can't hit.

You seer, sage, soothsayer you!

Hastings College had a point guard last year who was pretty good. :-) Might be able to get him!

Minnesota beats us two out of three this weekend.

That may be the weirdest half inning I've ever seen. An infield pop fly that three players couldn't find, an outfield pop fly that three different players couldn't find, a foul ball that the first baseman couldn't catch and a hit batter.

We need to quit scheduling such world class teams midweek. Find some "Sisters of the Poor" or some of the Class C high schools here in the state.

I think I turned the names around. Jerod committed to Michigan but Jacob the LB/DE has yet to commit and was in Lincoln on his own to visit. Not sure he eventually comes here but we are in his top 5.

I guess it's nice to say "Hi we see you'. He is an 8th grader. Thats all there is to say.

Getting them to Lincoln is half the battle.

I guess we will find out how much NIL money is allotted to basketball. Maybe we come out a little better with the three Nebraska players.

https://www.klkntv.com/montana-state-guard-darian-white-transfers-to-nebraska/ In four years at Montana St she totaled 1700 pts, 600 rebounds, 400 assists and 200 steals.

Jerod was in Lincoln Saturday watching the linebackers/D ends practice. Says he will declare a top 5 very soon and wants to commit before his season starts. He said his brother has Nebraska ranked high but also that it's possible they could choose different schools.

Unfortunately we may need to strike the portal quicker than Brady is ready to make a decision. Sallis, McCollum and Wrightsell are all still in play and have at least a year of D1 ball experience. If two of the three want in then to me I would pass on Brady.

I guess it's a good thing Trev shut down the football program all those years ago. Maybe he should have nixed the baseball program too!
