Also, apparently Ward isn't out of the question for us. He'd probably be a bigger get than McCord.

Note the wording here: Nebraska backed off, not McCord. (Gorney is Rivals' National Recruiting Director, btw.)

Probably the same if men's baseball won 5 championships in a row.

Maybe you didn't notice, but they're a top 10 team this year.

Sounds like the grades aren't there.

Yeah, that's a real nice score for Indiana. Wisconsin (Tyler Van Dyke) and Minnesota (Max Brosmer) got some solid portal QBs, too, and of course Michigan State landed arguably the top portal guy in Aidan Chiles. And since they'll be in the Big Ten next year, I might as well mention Dillon Gabriel to Oregon and Will Rogers to Washington. 247 rates them all as 4* transfers coming into the Big Ten. https://247sports.com/college/transfer-portal/Season/2024-Football/TransferPortalPositionRanking/

If he were still 15 years old maybe he could improve his motion, but very few guys are really able to make that big of a change to their throwing motion by the time they get to college. And Haarberg would need a HUGE overhaul to be a realistic option at QB, not a little tweak. 'Tweaking his throwing motion' might seem like a path of less resistance than switching to another position, but it's really not.

More parent, singular. Namely his dad, who was QB at Rutgers back in the day, and seems pretty heavily involved in his son's decision-making...

Rumor mill: sounds like the deal with McCord was a case of helicopter parent freakout...

Nah man, he's clearly worth $100 million! I mean as long as we're spending other people's money here, right?

Upgrading Haarberg means moving him to another position where his athleticism could potentially make an NFL roster, not keeping him at QB where he has no future. Or never, if you're Iowa.

This wasn't the NCAA's decision.

Demond Demas updated his Instagram profile to say "Ball catcher @huskerfootball". For those who haven't been following along, he's had some legal troubles, so he could end up just being our next Arik Gilbert (ie don't get your hopes up). He was a 5* guy out of HS (originally went to A&M, then Garden City CC), but it looks like On3 & 247 downgraded him to 3* as a transfer.

Chubba Purdy, nice knowing ya!

Ah yeah, that must be why the Raiola family got a home down in Buford, Georgia! I mean why else would anyone subscribe to Playboy in this day and age? It's the 21st century now, you can just pull out your phone and look at any kind of pr0n you like...

I've seen plenty of talk of coaching changes, but I can't tell if any of it is legit rumors or just speculation & wishlisting. If anything happens, it won't happen until after signing day.

Good morning, knap, welcome to yesterday afternoon.

I wonder how many people noticed that this was posted by 247Husker. Singular, not plural.

He already told Kaelin the offer is still solid. But I imagine he's casting a stern look in Purdy's direction right about now. (I'm assuming HH will be changing positions.)
