Beware northern Huskers!!!!!

There is some big visit news to report.

Nebraska is set to host the number one player and quarterback in the 2024 class in March. Arizona five-star Dylan Raiola sent me a text to say that he will be in Lincoln on March 25.

The former Ohio State commit visited USC the last weekend before the contact period closed. Now a date has been set for coach Matt Rhule to take a big swing at landing the nation's top prospect. A strong push has been made by Nebraska since Rhule took over. Every assistant coach on the staff visited Raiola's high school the day before that USC visit.

Raiola told Rivals' Adam Gorney what that visit by Nebraska's assistants meant to him.

"It meant a lot that coach Rhule sent the whole staff on offense and defense to come out. It shows how much that we mean to them and my family. It’s honestly a blessing and I’m very grateful that they view me and my family like that.

“No other school has done that. Nebraska wants to win right now and they have the right pieces to do that. They have young coaches and that’s just going to bring juice into the building and make it a whole lot of fun.”

Nebraska is a real threat in this recruitment alongside Georgia and USC.

Huskers looking bounce back this weekend against South Alabama. Hit the link.

the man knows his audience

we used to run FB trap out of this "spread" formation (for its time) & cripple teams with it

Beanie Bishop is leaving as a grad Transfer and has one year left of eligibility..

Stadium anniversary?

Took a look at the running backs room and wrote down some thoughts. Have to like what's returning, right?

Does anyone have a list of the recruits who will be attending the March 24th recruiting event?

Time to start watching the WNBA more where there is passing, teamwork, plays. Not spoiled millionaires flopping.

Got another prospect in 2024 for everyone to know. Texas four-star wide receiver Zion Kearney has become a big priority for the staff. His size (6-3, 190) and speed combo make him an ideal outside receiver for Rhule. Hit the link...

Learning a ton about UK history and man, some of the episodes are hardcore. Like the JFK assassination from the Crown's point of view. Jackie Kennedy visiting Buckingham Palace and how she and JFK operated.

Slow burn ... and thought I'd really dislike it - but it's good

The March 24-26 weekend is setting up to be the Huskers' biggest visits weekend of the spring. Dylan Raiola is already set to visit that weekend, and in-state 2024 WR Isaiah McMorris out of Bellevue West has added his name to what will be a big list by the time the dust settles:

I knew BF was retained for another season, but had no idea about his contract parameters…really strange.

Sad part is, pretty unlikely he’ll be retained for 2024.

Let’s assume Nebraska lands Raiola. And Sims has a very good 2023.

Who is the Nebraska starting QB in 2024?

The Blackshirt Breakdown with @Foremanjay5655 is back.

The topic? Roger Gradney, the first commit of the Huskers' 2024 class.

Let's dive in:

Did some digging out of today's presser for my Five Takeaways column.

– Corey Campbell mostly reiterated/doubled down on what he said last week, but he did go into more details about individualized positional training (mainly about OL).

– Donovan Raiola talks about "meshing well" with Matt Rhule and Marcus Satterfield – and I think that's more important than some realize because of what happened last year.

– I'm trying to trademark a new nickname for Tony White's defense: "Versatile Chaos" (how we feeling about that one?)

86 years young

Fantastic night for the Husker women. Hit the link.

Seems like a big “sweep it under the rug” scenario going on at Bama. Oats says his star player who brought the gun to the scene of the eventual murder was “in the wrong place at the wrong time”. Oats and probably the entire staff and AD new about this for over a month and kept quiet. I wouldn’t be shocked if dominoes start to fall in that program very soon, it’s ugly down there

With further expansion of the Big 10 and the SEC, Notre Dame remaining as an Independent MAY leave them on the outside looking in.

Each of those Conferences will be able to put together so many games with other major Brand Name Universities that nobody will have any need nor desire to play them.

And each of those Conference School will be flush with cash from their Conference TV agreement with other Universities clamoring to join.

And there is also the possibility of the Big 10 and the SEC putting an agreement together for some type of annual inter-Conference games.

Notre Dame could possibly end up with an empty schedule of games that matter. And see their Brand and TV funds diminished.

And Ohio State’s dropping games with Washington so close to the playing dates, and with such short notice shows just how fast things can change.

I can see coming difficulty for them without a full Conference Affiliation.

And because of their location and AAU membership, IMO there is only one Conference that makes sense from an above the surface view.

JMO, but I can see Notre Dame soon suffering from a somewhat similar situation, with a somewhat similar sense of urgency that Nebraska had causing their vigorous and very public pursuit of membership into the Big 10.
