What's the latest on Nesta Jade Silvera? If he is coming to Lincoln, isn't today the day we will find out?

100% agree. That’s why Raiola is here. We have talented lineman who need to develop. I think the staff sees that. Sure, It would have been nice to get Shorts, but maybe they get someone after the spring portal entries.

NM Lincoln Journal Star reported he is going to LSU instead.

Evan Bland posted that Shorts is still coming. I thought I read he called off the visit. Any clarity? That would be gigantic if he is coming this weekend.

Has anyone found the list of visitors this weekend?

Lol thats funny

How is this an upgrade to Held?

Yes they did. He de-committed from UCLA for them

I think the thing we have going for us is that Oklahoma is very much in the mix for Dart.

Awesome. Hopefully we get some traction there.

Sad if that's the best they can do after all this time is land Bryan Applewhite. I hope this is not the case.

Are we mentioned with the Miami DT? I didn't see that.

If Burton still wants to coach they should be all over him for the position. Jay Graham is another that if he is ready to get back to full time coaching we should chase. Pietre and Nixon have great credentials as well and its understandable the delay in the hire if they are chasing one of them. If they announce Knox or Applewhite my question would be why? Why take so long to announce this when they have been available for a while now.

Have to figure we will here a hire today or tomorrow morning at the very latest am I right? With recruiting opening back up again tomorrow and visitors coming in to town this weekend, I would imagine this needs to be taken care of today. Is my thinking correct?

They are not grasping for straws. The whole off season has been very efficient in their execution. I think they are making the interviews and will have a decision before Thursday when recruiting opens up again and we have visitors.

I think you are on to something. In my opinion, they will be RB Coach/Run Game Coordinator/Recruiting Coordinator

I agree 100%. If I learned anything last night is that Defensive Line may be the most important position in football. The defensive lines controlled that game and it took elite level passing and receiving on a few of the big plays to separate the two teams. Happy for the walk on from Georgia. Very cool story.

That would be a tremendous hire along with Michael Pitre from the Bears. I hope these are possible names because I am trying to see how Bryan Applewhite continues the Kool-Aid trend, no offense to him. I just haven't read enough to convince myself he will be an asset recruiting or coaching like other options.

Running back coach question: Is there any chance that Tommie Robinson could be in play behind the scenes? His connection with Mickey and Busch from LSU and the fact he has follows from a few of our players. He just so happens to be a top recruiter in areas we need to recruit. Just throwing it out there as a question.

Is anyone familiar with David Johnson the RB coach at Florida St? I noticed there are quite a few Husker follows on his twitter handle. Not sure if he is a candidate for a RB coach or not, but found that interesting.

I agree, but I also feel like they have a general idea of who is coming and who is going. I think they will be able to handle the scholarships based on what they can get done in these positions of need. I have heard we have two O-Lineman targeted mainly the OSU lineman and have not heard the name of the other. Everyone wants defensive line so that's a tough one. Have there been any names floated around for that side of the ball?

Lol thanks. It auto corrected to that and it looked cool so I kept it.

I have heard throughout to be patient and to expect them to try to get two portal QB's. Purdy would be a solid get to challenge our younger QB's, but I don't think they are solely focused on him. I believe there are other in the portal and others who haven't entered the portal who are in play. I am sure Thompson from Texas has other suitors so he will do what is best for him and his future. Sounds like TCU has the lean there if he chooses to stay in Texas. Will see how it all plays out, but I am excited they offered Purdy. To say that's a panic move is naïve at best.

100% accurate. Mark Twain once wrote: It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
