Video Recruiting Blitz: Underrated in-state players & surprises, concerns in B1G

Was joined by @Clint Cosgrove this week. We hit who is the most underrated recruit in Nebraska this cycle. Also, which teams have surprised so far this cycle in the Big Ten and which should be concerned. We also did a fun True or False on if Kansas City defensive end Williams Nwaneri is the best defensive player in the country.

MLB Games!

So much more enjoyable with the game times reduced with the new rules. Been down to kC for a couple Saturday night game and literally walking out after the game and it’s no much past sunset. Just watched the Sunday night game (Mets -Cleveland) granted 2-1 but like 2 hrs and 13 minutes to play.
WELL DONE MLB.

Recruiting What are ideal yet realistic walk-on class expectations for Nebraska?

This week’s recruiting question of the week comes from @Nebraska Power.

Question to you Greg Smith what would you consider the ideal walk on class every year? I have no idea. Get one starter down the road and contributor? 2 starters. 2 contributors? What say you?

Baseball Max Anderson sets Big Ten HR record, Huskers nab 4 seed in league tourney

Max Anderson set the record for most single-season home runs in Big Ten play (15) and moved into a tie for Nebraska's fifth-most home runs in a season (21) as the Huskers closed out the regular season with a 6-4 win over Purdue on Saturday.

The Huskers grabbed some major momentum heading into a Big Ten Tournament they were in real danger of missing just a couple weeks ago. But they won six of their last seven to earn the No. 4 seed and a matchup with No. 5 seed Rutgers at 2 p.m. Wednesday.

Some more on Anderson and Brice Matthews, how Saturday's finale played out and all of the seeds and first-round pairings for the B1G tournament:

Seed Possibilities (Updated 10:00 p.m. Friday)

According to my calculations, Nebraska can be seeded as high as #1 or as low as #7 at the Big Ten tournament next week. Here are the possibilities with each number of wins vs. Purdue (assuming no weather cancellations):

3 WINS - Seeded 1-5. Can reach #1 if Maryland and Indiana both get swept, Iowa loses 2 or more and Michigan and Rutgers combine for 5 or fewer wins. Will be #5 only if Maryland and Indiana both win at least 1 and Iowa and Rutgers both sweep.
2 WINS - Seeded 3-6. Can reach #3 if Iowa wins 1 or fewer and Michigan and Rutgers both win 2 or fewer. Will be #6 only if Iowa wins 2 or more and Michigan and Rutgers both sweep.
1 WIN - Seeded 3-6. Can reach #3 if Iowa gets swept and Michigan and Rutgers both win 1 or fewer. Will be #6 only if Iowa wins 1 or more and Michigan and Rutgers both win 2 or more.
0 WINS - Seeded 4-7. Can reach #4 if Michigan and Rutgers both get swept and Michigan State sweeps. Will be #7 only if Michigan, Rutgers and Michigan State all win at least 1.

IMHO, the odds of finishing seeded either 1-3 or 7 are incredibly small. Neither Maryland nor Indiana is going to get swept. Iowa is going to sweep Northwestern. And I don't see Purdue sweeping Nebraska. Here's how I think it will shake out:

1. Maryland
2. Indiana
3. Iowa
4. Nebraska
5. Rutgers
6. Michigan
7. Illinois
8. Purdue

I think we're in good position to get the 4 or 5 seed and, short of the miraculous happening and finishing on top, I think it's ideal, for several reasons: 1. Win game 1 and we'd likely get another shot at Maryland, away from their bandbox ballpark, on Thursday night, with Kaminska taking the ball. 2. It would set up a potential finals matchup with Iowa (could be a soul-crusher but the flipside is pure glory.) 3. The 4/5 game at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday or 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday is perfect. The 3/6 game at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday is the one game all week I cannot attend and I will be a little bitter if NU ends up there!
