Awesome stuff from MJ Sherman today. Interviewed him in 2019 and was impressed then and I was impressed again this morning. Hit the link.

In all sports? First few games of 9U are in the books and these guys are massive losers. Not sure I can make it through July. They think they are the manager of the red sox.

Big difference from football and basketball. Its almost like round up some of the trashiest dumbest adults and told them they have to coach select baseball. Weird.

2025 Millard North athlete Caden VerMaas was offered by Iowa State tonight. According to our own @Greg Smith, the 6-foot, 195-pound VerMaas has been to two Husker practices this spring. He does own a Nebraska offer.

I've never been a huge baseball fan so definitely no guru here (only ever watched some Nebraska Baseball) but what gives with the random bunting by W. Bolt? Do you all think it's justified? I understand reasons for bunting like moving guys forward to get a guy in scoring position or throwing another team off a little but why does Bolt to it randomly when our bats are hot? I noticed in the Omaha, Creighton, Illinois1, Illinois2 and N. Dakota games our bats were hot for an inning or so and we were getting runs, then all the sudden or next inning Bolt try's bunting and it completely throws this good hitting team out of rhythm. I feel like W. Bolt is just like Frost in that he constantly needs to try and put his touch on the game and try's to fix things that aren't broke. Is this just coaching inexperience or just an ego thing with these young coaches?

Had a few key takeaways from today's post practice defense talk. Hit the link...

pretty cool!

Here are the quick hits from Terrance Knighton and Evan Cooper:

Help! gbr

I enjoyed this closed captioning error:

Alberts is on his monthly radio show, and he announced former Husker head coach Frank Solich and his family will honored at the spring game.

I'll have a recap on Alberts' radio appearance later tonight.

DL coach Terrance Knighton, secondary coach Evan Cooper, MJ Sherman, Malcolm Hartzog and Omar Brown all met with the media after the Huskers' sixth practice today. We'll have more coming shortly with quick hits, takeaways and some feature stories.

Knighton was first up, saying his DL group has mostly been focused on working on the fundamentals thus far. He also discussed some of the EDGE types on the roster who are working with him and LB coach Rob Dvoracek. He named Sherman, Jimari Butler and Princewill Umanmielen as a few of the guys working with both coaches who can be a standup rusher and put their hand in the dirt.

Hopped on a video podcast with @Greg Smith and @Steve Marik after Thursday's defensive press conferences with Terrance Knighton, Evan Cooper, Omar Brown, Malcolm Hartzog and MJ Sherman.

We broke down our biggest takeaways, including Greg discussing Sherman opening up about his "anxiety" in leaving Georgia, Steve on an exciting potential role for Brown and me talking about the highly intriguing Jimari Butler – who Knighton has been impressed with through six spring practices.

Hey, everyone.

The Inside Nebraska crew will be at the open portion of this morning's practice, the team's fifth of spring ball. Same deal as last time — we'll get about the first 40 minutes to watch, from about 8:20-9 a.m. We'll post any updates, pictures or videos that we can.

Matt Rhule and 2-3 players will then hold a press conference after, and we'll have full coverage of that on the site today.

These numbers could change after the Spring. A few teams might add a transfer or two. I also added current transfer FBS starts to these numbers below. For instance, Luke Fickell brought his starting Center from the last 3 seasons with him.

1. Nebraska - 121 - Transfer Center Ben Scott arrives with 28 starts. Nebraska still leads all Big Ten teams with combined offensive line starts in Big Ten games only.
2. Wisconsin - 96 - Transfer Center Jack Renfro started 31 games at Cincinatti
3. Iowa - 82 - LT Mason Richman might be the 2nd best LT in the Big Ten
4. Purdue - 74 - Center Gus Hartwig is the Big Ten's top returning Center
5. Illinois- 54 - LT Julian Pearl might be top Tackle in the Big Ten
6. Minnesota - 29 - LT Aironte Ersery is a future NFL Player - Give Fleck some credit. Kid was recruited out of Ruskin High School in Kansas City. One of the worst HS programs in the KC area.
7. Northwestern - 11 - And their LG accounts for 9 of those 11 starts

Its impossible to predict the future, but Nebraska could seriously return all 10 linemen in their two deep for 2024 as well. Its quite possible that the QB taking snaps in 2024 could be play behind the most experienced Offensive Line in College Football.

Coming on just now if anyone's interested.

There was a thread on the free board, but I think we need one here

Saw this Sunday night. DANG! What a good movie. Obviously absurd and there's some suspension of basic physics or beliefs (but that's kinda the point with Wick) but man the choreography of the fight scenes and the cinematography work were just flat incredible.

It's been so successful they're actively looking at making #5.

They need to yank these starters out much sooner. Don't wait until its 0-6.

"We have a little bit of confidence after beating Iowa and we just have to keep rolling with that.”

Ethan Piper is an important member of Nebraska's O-line room, even if he's not a sure-fire starter. He said he's having the most fun he's ever had this spring, and it's because the line has a pep in their step after how last season ended. Here's more:

… I am assuming we throw our #1 and #2 guys, right?

Obviously NU has played more than 11 guys on D over the years, but it's clear that Rhule wants a more adaptable defense that offers varying personnel groupings.
