Agreed.  He just got done rowing the boat on us, and wanted to give AM some appreciation and support.  It's fine.

Right. Just very physically and emotionally abusive to his own players.

this makes no sense. regardless if it's a small class the there are no highly rated recruits signed.

I hate to break it to you, but no one in the country has signed a player yet. 

(Again, rankings are based on quantity as much as quality.)

"How do people who follow recruiting closely and have for a while defend the fact that our recruiting class is currently ranked 83 out of 130?"

Roster management due to the COVID year can't be blamed on the coaches - we're looking at 13 available scholarships this year, meaning we can't sign 20 like some schools plan to. 

The recruiting services have admitted they're not able to watch all the film this year due to the "COVID backlog", if you will. Expect ratings to change pretty drastically after HS FB season ends in December this year. 

Do I wish we were higher? Yes. Do I wish we were in on higher rated players? Yes. Am I hitting the panic button and saying Frost and his staff can't recruit? No, they've proven that isn't the case. 

Check back in January. 

Really hoping there are decent OL transfers in the portal. Will be the biggest impact we can make on this team.

Doesn't he also have ties to Nebraska where he grew up here for a few years? How much interest would you say he has in Nebraska? Our 2023 class has a chance to be very loaded. The fact that we are in on this guy just shows how much Fred and Matt have gotten excitement into our program by players all over the country. The Michigan game should definitely be electric for him to see and experience. 

Grandparents live in Kearney. Lived there for a few years growing up. Considering a move back to Kearney for school this year, I thought. 

4 schools? 

Oregon, Texas A&M, UF, wherever he ends up next?

I didn't take the time to study it.

Yes, it is rare (I believe) to have 2 coaches dedicated to LBs. 

"A sound mind in a sound body", looks good to go.

Wyatt Mazour actually got in game, meaningful reps for us recently. If a guy like Yant isn’t playing much because the players in front of him are better, we have grown leaps and bounds in talent. That makes me happy. 

That name just makes me sour. Please, I will take any RB who won't do this at the goal line:

Per Sam he’s up to 320. Will get looks at both nose tackle and defensive end

Errr, per Sam, he came in at 400lbs and is down to 380. Damion Daniels says in testing that he was 289 lbs of pure muscle, which would put him at <24% body fat.

Weird. Was just up in downtown and Haymarket, had zero problems with service and there plenty of storefronts/locations to visit. 
 

I will say there were help wanted signs all over Lincoln. Amigos was hiring for $15/hr., which is the right way to do it. 

Getting out of "Barry's coming back" and more into federal unemployment policy, general unemployment trends, etc...  

But I got a coffee at Scooter's yesterday morning and they were offering a $200 signing bonus to be a barista. Just to work the drive through. 

Hotel I stayed at last weekend had a sign on the door offering a $300 signing bonus for anyone who would start as a maid that same week. 

HyVee across from my house is doing on-the-spot interviews for anyone who will walk in right now. Everyone is struggling pretty hard. 

Served one too many minors, one too many times. 

Keisei was HOT today. Scored 10 in the first game, 9 in the second for 19 pts on the day (games only go to 21). Started the second game 3-3 from three.

Here's an idea: can we just win a game against Iowa before we try poking their university/fan base on Twitter? 

Christo announces on Twitter he'll be here. 

We're into round 14 on the draft and still no Mason pick. I would say it is safe to assume he is N. 

I don't see how me having higher standards helps Adrian Martinez hold onto the ball, or our entire OL learn how to block. 

You work with the kids you teach. We don't work with the players. There's a difference.

Pretty sure no.

There is no maximum. But is there some sort of governing body that determines "acceptable"? Why can't a Nebraska donor offer Lexi Sun $100k for one of her sweatshirts? 

We’ll see when the rankings come out, but this guy feels like Bryce McGowens of football. Type of recruit that would put us on the map and open some eyes for peers.

Competing with tOSU for one and KSt for the other.

Both good players, but there is a big difference.

Must have missed this - Traudt said he has 9 more OV's to take if he wants them. Did the NCAA double the allotment due to COVID? What happened to 5 visits? And is that only a basketball thing..?

I know I'm in the minority, but I'm still not sold on him. In my opinion he was the weakest link at UCF, and although things began to look promising as the season progressed this past year, I'm still unsure. This season will be telling. 

Genuinely curious - have you dug into the progress he's made since being here? Him and his staff have made incremental improvements every single year he's been here so far. If improving every year for 4 years doesn't sell you, I'm not sure what would. 

Twins..? 

+1 all around, agreed. I also hope he continues to exist

Has OVs set to Michigan State, Iowa State and Iowa.  Working to set up an OV here but doesn't have it finalized yet.  Probably the first weekend of September (which would imply we are still working to get a game on that weekend).

Game secured #BeatTheRams

Glynn Watson played fine at that height in the B1G. He'll live.
