Now I know he's only a 3 star (little poke @Dr. Strangelove cause he hates 3* recruiting) but 40 D1 offers.. Is there an expectation of a earning 4th star? Seems there was some hype around this kid both locally and nationally. Someone above (or maybe some journalist) stated he's body ready more than most freshmen TE prospects which kind of shocked me as I've always thought soft hands and quick feet were essential TE attributes more so than height/weight ratio. How wrong am I?

I have a fan or two, he/she/it (most likely and "it") loves to leave emoji's in every post. Awesome to know I'm liked. Thank You anonymous one!!!

This young man has an impressive offer list. Seems Rhule and company are heavily recruiting TE's. Hopefully that position becomes a huge part of the offense and we've not used the TE much of late.

Same issue as last year. Can't win midweek and it's going to bite us. What a disappointment indeed @bugeater17

Yes, Huskers have been on BTN once and are scheduled to have 2 more.

Coach Prime's going to have a whole new team at this rate. Question is, can they become one (team) before the season begins? Time will tell.

Huskers need this one!! Gotta keep the momentum going into the weekend. Iowa will be a challenge.

So.... Warren Nolan Conference Predictions continues to predict Nebraska to win the conference and also reaching the 40 win mark. Fingers crossed baby!! Need to win the KU game and the Iowa series!! GBR!!!! and honestly, when looking at the standings, I can see the reasons. 1. The Huskers are expected to lose 1 game to either Iowa or Indiana (both home series) 2. Minny and Michigan State haven't shown they have the pitching to match Nebraska. 3. KU, KSU, S. Dakota St. are all winnable (especially in a deeper ball park that often holds the long balls, especially with the winds we've had of late.) Lastly, the schedule is favorable in terms of traveling. The Huskers have of the 4 series remaining the 2 most threatening at home. It's hard to sweep a team as the Creighton series has shown over the last few years and so I hope that continues. KSU will be a dog fight "if" they chose for it to be as they have pitching depth. This weekend they play TCU, they travel to Lincoln and then home against KU. Still, it's a home game which favors the Huskers. So, yes.. I can make an argument for winning the conference and hitting the 40 win mark. Question is, do I believe it?

I should have posted the remaining schedule for everyone to view. I made the correction to the original post and edited it in. Thanks for the heads up.

Ok, we just witnessed the Husker's putting together a very impressive win against the preseason favorite to win the conference. 16 games left of which 12 are conference games. The road to 40 is a very difficult one thanks to our loss in the rutgers series and creighton. Still, the path to 40 exists but it's a difficult path and 40 is the minimum to host for a north school. Can Nebraska reach that. My personal opinion is yes but not in the regular season. To reach that the team will have to go deep into conference tourney play. Hoping to hear what others think. I selected the 37+ wins which puts them as a 2 seed in a regional.

Finally eating a little crow and it tastes awesome. Boys came to play today and it showed. They 1 home run is all we had and still managed to run rule them. That's the team I've been waiting on. I've been critical of the bats but I'm also on record saying this team has the talent. Hoping that talent is beginning to peak. Illinois is going to win the regular season title not because they're the top team, rather because they played the easiest schedule. Can't figure out why it seems that in every sport there's an original school of the big 10 that has a cream puff schedule. Every sport, Every year one Big 10 original is given a nearly uncontested path to a title but I digress.. back to this team. They were focused, the bats gave run support to the staff thereby allowing a mostly simple game. (Throw a strike, trust your defense, get the out) It was awesome to see. Now, can they string more games like this together. Hoping so!!! Well Done Huskers!! GBR!!!! PS: Thank You for the crow

Thanks @Stumpy1 @Mavric @others that have pm'd me to reassure me those are false rumors.

I've been saying it most of the season. Huskers lack scary bats. Tuesday night is an example of a team (Creighton) that has a scary bat and that bat bit us. Pitching is not the biggest problem. The inability to score when runs are needed is. Stats would show we aren't bad at scoring true but in the games we've lost we had chances to win. Bolt keeps saying "we're hitting it hard, just not getting through". Then coach them opposite field hitting or hitting through the holes. I'm not a fan of our defense either. This overload shift to one side has lost of games by turning simple defensive plays into runs given up. I'm tired of the excuses. "The pitcher didn't hit his spot" or "the wind hung the pitch" and every other excuse Bolt keeps throwing out there. I've honestly started to lose my patience with Bolt and how hot & cold this team and his past teams are. I'm tired of not winning midweek games. Still, I'm very hopeful. This team has the talent to go deep into regionals "if" they play to the potential. Fingers crossed.. Just keep winning series. 1 game at a time.

2 things first.. I've heard Dylan isn't separating himself from the group and HH is having a strong spring. (Is that maybe right?) 2nd, Dylan has so much pressure on him. That a load to handle at 18. Hope he's surrounded with positive people.

Nice.. going to need that revenue to be competitive in regional hosting bids I hope.
