    That was the kind of game we lose, most seasons.  Glad to get a W when playing far from our best!

    They have to win these (ND and South Carolina State) games if they want to make the tournament.  They are also going to have to figure out how to beat the teams they should (Minnesota).

     

    When they are playing well, they look pretty good.  They need to get consistent at rebounding and finishing close to the rim in my opinion.

    Stinks about Fields. I know we didn’t really get to see him in action, but I had built him up as someone I expected pretty awesome things out of at Nebraska. My fault for having those expectations, he just looked so awesome in his high school film.

    I was in the same boat.  His film made him look like a one man wrecking crew.

     

    It isn't for everyone and I hope he lands doing whatever he wants.

    Kinda makes you wonder why he commited....

     

    Not trying to be mystical but Alex agreed to a walkon for a reason. Nice NIL package would be a good start but there was a history between Dom and Alex's hs coach; also Alex met Dylan via that connection. I think Alex knows summin'.

    Callahan was talking about it this morning.  It has to do with "how" around recruiting. 

     

    I'll probably butcher this but.....  Basically it sounds like if they don't take official visits it changes how they were recruited.  They can be classified as a walk on and NIL could be used to help bridge the gap of a traditional scholly.

    It's possible, but I don't think he's ready as a Big Ten TE - he's like 200 lbs. The TEs in the portal were not even on the depth chart, although it is pretty thin either way. Lindenmeyer has a specific role (and I'd assume Flynt in this class is penciled in there as well), and everyone else we've signed recently needs to add some weight. I think if Nelson plays it will either be out wide, or exclusively as a second TE off the LOS. Or maybe he packs on some weight over the summer and shows up at 230, but I think it'll take a year or two.

    We’re talking about different things.  
     

    I doubt he’s a major contributor, but he’ll play.  The only common factors between him and Flynt are the position they play.

    Without enrolling early and accounting for far greater talent level & 11 man football I think unless he has a few designed plays he may not play much. 

    In a first for me I have to go with @Huskerfollower4life.  I think he plays.

     

    Didn't we already have two TEs enter the portal?  He's a freak athlete.  The talent difference will be significant but he'll adapt and I think it'll be quick.

    Not surprised at all with Kubic. You could see that coming, but Jurevicius is too bad. Rumor was that she hits about as hard as anyone on the team. Thought after her RS she would press for starting role.

    Jurevicius sister is on the Lincoln Lutheran team.  Wonder if the family sticks around?

    Being reported he is firm in his commitment. As was recognized he did not take a visit to MSU 

    Not what I expected…

     

    I think it’s the right call.  I’m sure it’s a difficult one.  I’m glad he going to stay home.

    Impressive if they've got $240k in 48 hours.

     

    Makes one think they should have been marketing fundraising drives like this before 2 days ago...

    If the volleygals win the natty they need to go full force immediately.  They'd raise serious cash and we'd have the highest paid volleyball team by a mile.

    I can see it, and I can see him doing really well.  He belongs as an OC with someone providing oversight.  Some people shouldn't be promoted past the job they are really good at. 

    I'd be curious to see how this would go.  I think it could be argued that his OC experience (success) was on the coat tails of others.

    K-State's.  Word is that KSU's coach is not happy with how the president handled the situation.

     

    Former Kansas State F Nae'Qwan Tomlin transferring to Memphis after dismissal from Wildcats last week - CBSSports.com

    Yep, this is what I’m hearing.

     

    rumors:  Situation was overstated.  Internal investigation done.  Coach and AD dealt with it.  President said to kick him off team.

     

    Everyone unhappy with how it was handled.

    If this is what went down, good.  I don’t think this is how Rhule wants to do it and I support that.  Spending that kind of cash on one player seems to go against what he’s said.
