Looks like he just committed!!!

to Valentine

He's showcasing how great the 4 on 4 full court pickup drill was for Tim Miles at Nebraska. Yep, got him a 116-114 record in 7 years with 1 NCAA tournament appearance and 2 NIT appearances.

Nebraska added a late arm to its 2023 recruiting class with the commitment of LHP Brooks Kneifl Wednesday evening.

Kneifl was originally committed to K-State before flipping to the Huskers. From Wayne, Kneifl led all classes with 83 strikeouts this season and possesses a five-pitch mix. Another big lefty for Rob Childress to work with.
