Things change quickly In recruiting but I don't think anyone here will be mad this time. Did some checking around about how things are going this weekend with Nebraska and Carter Nelson. I've heard enough to flip my FutureCast from Georgia to Nebraska. I love the Huskers position here and I'm rolling with them to land the potential superstar tight end out of Ainsworth.

Nebraska's momentum is real right now on the recruiting trail.

Drowned.
Oh my goodness.

TOS has article about Nelson taking official visit to Penn State. Was this the plan all along? @Greg Smith I don’t recall hearing that.

Maybe I missed this, has his ruling for eligibility come down yet

Nebraska junior Max Anderson received his fifth second-team All-American honor this month, as Baseball America released its All-America teams on Wednesday.

Wednesday's accolade comes after Anderson was recognized by ABCA/Rawlings, Collegiate Baseball, Perfect Game and NCBWA as a second-team All-American earlier this month. The Omaha native was also named theNCBWA's District 6 Player of the Year, becoming the first Husker to earn the recognition since Luke Gorsett in 2006.

A Golden Spikes Award semifinalist, Anderson was a unanimous First-Team All-Big Ten honoree while hitting .414 with 20 doubles, two triples, 21 home runs, 70 RBI and 51 runs scored.

The junior became the first player in the country to reach 100 hits and finished with 101 hits on the season, which is sixth-most by a Husker in a single-season in program history. Anderson is the first Husker to conclude the season hitting above .400 since John Cole's .418 batting average in 2001.

Anderson became the first Big Ten player with 15 home runs in a conference season with a traditional schedule. Anderson finished the 2023 campaign ranked fourth on the single-season charts in program history with 188 total bases while climbing to fifth with 21 home runs and 43 extra-base hits.

The Husker playback under Ruhle is to bring in a hungry young staff filled with guys ready to put in the extra effort to meet every obligation to help the program rebuild. They use this same approach to target recruits by being willing to take kids with great raw potential, but not necessarily highly rated. Both staff and players have something to prove by building their careers by believing in each other. In the same way, the Inside Nebraska staff has worked remarkably hard to make this site the best it can be. As a fan, I really appreciate this approach. There are no guarantees of success, but I sure respect what everyone is doing to remake Husker football! Go Big Red! 🏈🎈

Benning, Pyfrom, or Donovan? Bellevue boys!! All!!

Strikes out 10 and hits 2 HR’s in Angels win last night. 6th player since 1900 to do that.

And in June:

.383 average with 13 HR/26 RBI’s /4 SB
37 K’s in 30 innings pitched

Dude is something else…

Caught up with new Husker walk-on James Williams, a 6-foot-6, 245-pound DE who collected six sacks last year as a true freshman at Iowa Central Community College. Nebraska D-line coach Terrance Knighton watched him work out at a postgrad camp this month and liked what he saw. He sent Williams up to Matt Rhule's office right away.

The Huskers have themselves a 6-foot-5 receiver in the 2024 class:

Being crystal balled to Iowa. 🤢

Poor bastard.

Housing Corporation purchased a fraternity house two years ago. It appraised for 2.6 million. We got it for 1.64 million. Problem is it was only on a 7 year note amortized over a 30 year period. So in 5 years we will have to refinance. We got a great rate with the original loan. With mortgage rates going up and probably will stay up for a considerable time frame, any suggestions as to how to lower the interest rate on commercial loans.

One individual suggested we get a million in deposits with the bank and see if that would help lower the rate. I have used stock and mutual funds to secure lines of credit on personal loans but not sure how that would work on a commercial loan with multiple individuals. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Anyone watching this outstanding pitching performance, 120 pitches in, 17 K’s and he’s still throwing 97.

Tomorrow from 8-2 in Papillion.

More recruiting wins for Nebraska in this edition of Husker Hurry Up. Hit the link.

Heading to Landmand all the way from the 308 in a couple weeks, im guessing we'll play Wildhorse on the way but we'll have time to play at least another 9 on the way, what are the places we need to look at between Gothenburg and Homer?

I started last week and I’m really loving it - mostly because it has me thinking back to when I was a kid and really followed baseball like a religion. I can usually hit about an average result - getting 6-8 of the 9.

For those baseball fans who are not tracking this, hit up “immaculate grid” on the old Googler. It asks you to name 9 players usually who played for two specific teams (like Houston and Toronto, George Springer for example) or sometimes a player who achieved something specific (like 30 steals, 200 strikeouts, etc) for a specific team. 9 total guesses to get 9 answers each day.

A fun thought exercise if you are a baseball fan.

I know, I know, old days and sorry if I'm "living in the past"

But I just couldn't help but look over our schedule that year. All double digit wins, 11/12 games won by 20+

Strength of schedule with wins against final AP ranking of #2 (+42), #5 (+23), #7 (+24), #9 (+38)

I know nothing new and nothing everyone doesn't already know but...man, what a season, glad I was around to see it.

2025 four-star QB Stone Saunders out of Bishop McDevitt (Harrisburg, Pa.) is down to five schools: Nebraska, Georgia, Kentucky, Miami and Michigan

Recent quote from Saunders to Rivals' Clint Cosgrove on his decision timeline:

"I mean, I'd love to get it done before season. But, if it's not there and I just don't have that feeling yet, then I'm just going to play it through and see what happens after the season.
