Rob Childress and Mike Sirianni have officially been named the two new assistants in a revamped coaching staff for the Huskers. Some quotes from both of the new coaches.

“Nebraska is a special place, and my family and I couldn’t be happier to stay in Lincoln,” said Childress. “I can’t thank Coach Bolt enough for this opportunity. I’m excited to hit the ground running and ready to get to work with our players.”

And from Sirianni:

“My family and I are so excited for the opportunity to join such a storied program,” said Sirianni. “I’ve seen firsthand the excitement surrounding Husker baseball and understand the tremendous responsibility that comes with being a part of this staff. We are extremely honored and ready to get to work.”

We're expected to hear from both coaches in a press conference tomorrow morning. Inside Nebraska confirmed the hirings last week.

I could have swore that there was a fairly good restaurant out towards Bennet or Palmyra NE? Kind of considered a destination for good food. I‘m pretty sure I never went there while growing up in Lincoln, but I recall reading about it on a thread here before. Anyone recall? Does it still exist?

The Huskers continue to add to their 2024 class with a Monday commitment from Kansas native Gavin Blachowicz. He currently attends Olathe South High School near Kansas City.

Blachowicz is another product of new assistant Mike Sirianni’s recruiting prowess. Blachowicz was originally committed to Wichita State before making a pivot to NU. He’s listed as a 3B/RHP. Prep Baseball Report has his fastball topped out at 91 MPH and sitting at 88-89. He had a 96.1 mph max exit velocity from his bat.

Blachowicz joins Whit Rhodes as the second ‘24 commit in the last two days.

Just got official word that Hall will no longer be making his official visit to Nebraska. His recruitment has been unique. He went to Tennessee in hopes of an offer last weekend but that offer didn’t come.

The Huskers are in good shape at WR for 2024.

Saunders is coming back for the third or fourth time since Rhule took over the program. I like the way things are trending for the QB and Nebraska. He was highlighted this morning in a story by Adam Friedman.

I know we have 9 new guys so far in 2024 but we have only 9 seniors this year so are we limited in going further? Or are we going to overshoot like earlier and hope many transfer or quit the team? What is our area of need left to fill?

Time for another edition of Conversations with Clouse live chat!


Fire away!

Nebraska has landed its second 2025 commitment in Omaha North DL Tyson Terry. He joins fellow Omaha product Caden VerMaas of Millard North as the Huskers' second pledge in the class:
