Hopped on a video with @Greg Smith for a quick breakdown of what caught our attention from Matt Rhule’s signing day press conference this afternoon.

Nebraska added onto its 2024 class with a commitment from Aiden Lieser Wednesday afternoon. Huskers doing a nice job of recruiting Minnesota as Lieser resides in the Twin Cities. Nebraska adds the right-hander that topped out at 90 mph on his fastball with a changeup that reaches 78-80 and a slider that sits at 77-78. It’s the second commit in the ‘24 class for NU as Devin Nunez from Texas committed to the Huskers last week.

Hey, Matt Rhule talked about the scholarship numbers!

He talked about a lot more at today's press conference. Here are five takeaways:

The linked article describes one way a NIL group is paying the way for player's families to attend games, they pay for travel and lodging for the families to attend games. In return the players are required to do some promotional work. I think this really would be very effective for a school like Nebraska to do being located so distant from some of the recruiting hotbeds. Families of players obviously like to attend the games and sometimes that's a big factor in choosing schools.

P.S. USC is one of the leaders in acquiring players from the portal. Lot's of NIL there.

Whats the story on the Borchers and Moore kids? Are they committing today?

Now that he is no longer married, he can party like a rock star.

Which one do you think the powers that be want gracing the front page?

I thought this was an interesting article
3 teams every year and rotate the other 6. Not sure if they’d have to do pods. I am assuming Iowa and perhaps one of USC/UCLA and maybe another nearby team for us. Not doing pods allows them to spread out the Cali schools.

I just got a text from recent Nebraska official visitor defensive back D'Andre Barnes. He tells me that he will be announcing his college decision tomorrow (Wednesday) night at 8 p.m. central/7 p.m. mountain time.

I see no reason to change my FutureCast for him to pick Nebraska.

I remember years where Bo would start Fall camp with only 78 or so players on scholarship.

Right now if my count is right we will go into Spring practice with 81 scholarship players. That's a crazy amount for Spring. Should allow the coaches and players to see where they are and who needs to move on. Should give the coaches plenty to work with.

I was just wondering how many players will be on campus for Spring ball that will have a chance to compete for playing time?

Tickets for the Nebraska Red-White Spring Game (April 22 at 1 p.m.) are now on sale. Link below:

“We’re just lost without Derrick on the floor right now,” Fred Hoiberg said. “Execution down the stretch, it was just awful. We just could not get to the right spots. Again, when Derrick’s not out there we really struggle."

The undermanned Huskers fought hard, but there's just not enough there to finish the job.

Be prepared for 2 weeks of nonstop mentioning of two brothers playing against each other in the Super Bowl:

Both charges are first degree felonies...

Inside Nebraska staff writer @GeoffExstrom was the first to report this news on Jan. 13 on the Insider's Board, and the news is now official – Dr. Susan Elza is the new Chief of Staff for the Nebraska football program.

Get to know Elza through a pair of exclusive interviews with those who have worked with her extensively as they give background and quotes.

Some strong opinions of what she brings to the Huskers and why this was an important hire and another power move by Matt Rhule:
