Volleyball Harper Murray named Gatorade National Volleyball Player of the Year

Very cool honor for the future Nebraska outside hitter. She'll enroll in classes next week and will be expected to fill a large role for the Huskers in the fall.

Murray is the fifth Husker to receive that honor alongside Ally Batenhorst (2020-21), Lexi Sun (2016-17), Mikaela Foecke (2014-15) and Gina Mancuso (2008-09). The Michigan native recorded 726 kills with 409 digs this past season with Skyline High School. She also totaled 86 service aces and 40 blocks on a .405 hitting percentage.

It's been a busy senior season for Murray, who was also named an AVCA and MaxPreps first-team All-American. She finished her high school career with 2,488 kills and 1,460 digs.

Murray was also named the Michigan Gatorade Volleyball Player of the year, joining incoming setter Bergen Reilly as the other to win their state Gatorade Player of the Year. Reilly did so in her home state of South Dakota.

Rimington comments at Rimington ceremony question?

I was just catching up on the board and saw this exchange in the Conversations with Clouse thread:

from Auski: Is the TC backing the Rhule hire? Rimington's comments during the Rimington ceremony gives me pause.

from Clouse: TC is a split group on the hire right now, from what I've heard. Don't ask me why though. Doesn't make much sense to me.

@auski or anyone else know what Rimington said that drove this question?

Football Blackshirt Breakdown: What does MJ Sherman bring to Nebraska?

The Blackshirt Breakdown with @Foremanjay5655 is back, and today we're breaking down new Husker OLB/DE MJ Sherman.

Topics Jay discusses:
>> Sherman's film from Georgia (wasn't much, but I tried to find a few examples)
>> The outside linebacker/DE position in Tony White's 3-3-5
>> Which position does Jay want to see Nebraska add to from the portal?



ICYMI:

Here are three thoughts on the addition of Sherman.

OT: Horseshoe CB

ok...I love going to casinos and playing black jack so I am not really a novice at casinos. Never really been a sports book guy tho...

But...last night, I found a little hidden gem of fun. I met a couple friends at the Horseshoe in CB to watch the Bengals game.

Well....They now and apparently unbeknownst to my dumb ass have had these kiosks where you can place bets(they have for a while). Any bets. Spread, prop, live game/2nd half bets, etc. The odds are ever changing so you can walk up and make a bet in the middle of the 3rd quarter. No one to talk to, no lines, just insert cash and bet...real time.

It was in the 3rd and I bet $20 on who would score the Bengals 4th TD(never happened - duh)...very cool and fun. I would have won $113 on my $20. What's cool is all your friends have different bets and are pulling for different players. I think one of them bet Burrow would rush for two TDS. His $20 would have paid like $1800(not exactly sure).

Anyway, cue the Jim Carrey (We are going to the Moon gif). My dumb-ass was unaware but that was a lot of fun. I guess the social aspect makes it better than draft kings, etc.

Recruiting Georgia transfer TE visiting Nebraska

I just got a tip that Georgia transfer tight end Brett Seither is on a flight to Lincoln right now. The 6-foot-5, 230-pound tight end played special teams and hauled in three catches for 42 yards and a touchdown in Georgia’s 2021 college football season. Seither went to Georgia as a three-star prospect in the class of 2019 out of Clearwater Central Catholic High School. Seither committed to Georgia over Alabama.

Tight end is certainly a position of need for Nebraska right now. Georgia Tech thought they were in a good position to land him before Nebraska got him to visit last minute. He's got a 4pm deadline on Jan. 13 to enroll at Georgia Tech because of their class schedule. We'll keep you posted on any additional details we are able to learn.

Recruiting Huskers visit uncommitted 2023 four-star WR, official visit set

Login to view embedded media
Nebraska went in home with Matt Rhule, Marcus Satterfield and Evan Cooper today. Bell was once committed to Michigan State.

He does hold an offer from Nebraska and I wouldn't be surprised if he set up an official visit to Nebraska for this weekend.

1/16 2:22 p.m. UPDATE: Bell just told me that he and Matt Rhule "connected instantly" and he will be taking an official visit this weekend.

Football WR Isaiah Garcia-Castaneda has withdrawn his name from the portal and is returning to Nebraska

Confirmed to Inside Nebraska and Rivals in the midst of the MJ Sherman news:

WR Isaiah Garcia-Castaneda has withdrawn his name from the transfer portal and is returning to Nebraska. Adds to Garret McGuire's first WR group as IGC will join Marcus Washington, Alante Brown and transfer Josh Fleeks (Baylor) and Billy Kemp IV (Virginia) as the four who project as the top-four in the Huskers' WR room heading into winter workouts and spring ball.

What does the Bills have on the NFL??

I've been trying to get an answer to this question all week with no luck. So of course, I turn to the wisest people I know.

The Bills/Bengals game was canceled. No argument there, was the right call. But, it created a situation that needed a solution. For the Chiefs (my team) it meant that a AFC title game vs the Bills would be played at a neutral site. Seems fair, if the Bills had won they would have been the #1 seed and we would have played in Buffalo. For the Bengals (go ZT), it meant that a possible playoff game vs the Ravens would be hosted by the winner of a coin flip. It didn't end up happening but seems like it would have been fair since if the Bengals had lost the Ravens would have been the home team had they won the week 18 matchup. Both NFL sanctioned solutions where based on the fact that either team could have won or lost that Monday night game.

Here's my question. Why has the NFL not announced a neutral site or coin flip scenario for the more than likely matchup between the Bills and the Bengals? Had the Bengals won that Monday night game, they would have finished tied with the Bills and owned the tie breaker head to head. And yet that game, if played, will be in Buffalo? What gives?
