News of this was released earlier on Friday and was confirmed to us this evening: Mickey Joseph has been officially dismissed from the football program and is no longer an employee of the university.

First off a major failure from the prior staff in not targeting Lincoln to start but how does this affect Raiola? Correct me if I am wrong but didn’t Ohio State tell Dylan that they were not going to take a quarterback in 2023 class?

I'll start -The Hobbit - I know it's a popular movie, but it's one of the greatest books of all-time overall. A must read for any fantasy lover as those tales spawned many like them.

I so hope to put this term to bed in the next couple of season, but I was wondering..........Do you think our current coaching staff uses the close losses over the past two seasons as a recruiting tool? As if to say, "with the previous staff, this team was very close to prominence again, with our coaching staff and you, we will rise to that same prominence once again!". Or am I completely insane to think this??

This is one of my all time faves....

Not that it comes as a surprise but this is the first official word I've seen of Mickey being terminated by the University:

“Coach Joseph is no longer part of the University of Nebraska football program or an employee of the University,” a spokesman for NU Athletics said Friday. Joseph's separation date was Dec. 6. The University spokesman declined to address questions about his compensation status.

As an aside, Mickey denies the alleged felony charges and will appear in Court in January.

All at Iowa Wesleyan at the same time

Good listen for those interested

Kid outplayed his rating.
197 tackles??!! Our highest Reimer had 86, and the entire Husker team had 897. Moore would have been 22% of the entire Husker defense.

I think he said he plans on sticking with Nebraska, but he visited or is visiting Michigan, as Harbaugh is trying to poach him.
Has lots of other options.

We mentioned in the big visit preview for this weekend that Nebraska was still looking to add a big visitor or two for a loaded final weekend before signing day. One that I can report now is that Lincoln High 3-star ATH and current Iowa State commit Beni Ngoyi is on campus right now for an official visit.

Nebraska's new staff has made Ngoyi a priority since taking over the program. He's really the perfect recruit for this staff because of his versatility as a football player and terrific track results. This is the second time that he's been on campus since Matt Rhule took over. He was on campus for the Junior Day a couple weeks ago. Ngoyi has been committed to Iowa State since July.

Some coaching staffs (Bill Snyder's comes to mind) seem to have the knack for finding outstanding high school prospects that have been overlooked by all the big programs. Rhule seems to fall into that category. People have done a lot of griping about the current staff, but Rhule has built a staff with connections seemingly everywhere, particularly Texas Florida, and the Northeast. It's not a coincidence his staff is packed with recruiting coordinators (Ed Foley, Evan Cooper, EJ Barthel, and Tony White).

Frankly, some of the most exiting film I've seen comes from low rated prospects Rhule is targeting. I'm convinced the Husker are now playing "MoneyBall."

Beni Ngoyi (ISU commit) will also be visiting this weekend. Could be a decent steal? 2nd visit since this staff took over

This is going to be an ongoing theme I’m afraid. And they aren’t going to a lower tier bowl game.

Starting season 4 on HBO.
Check it out. I’ve enjoyed it. Brendan Frazier’s character is awesome!

And a 4-year starter at that:

OC and DC - check
RB and OL - check
ST and DB - check
S&C - check
LB, QB and WR - ???

Lineman out of Kentucky is in the portal. Maybe #1 player out there. Let’s nil him,

Now on 1620 The zone with Gary Sharp. That's a pretty good show. Plus he'll be able to rein in some of sharps jackassery.

I wonder if more multiple means they have to somewhat fit their defensive plans to the players they have.

It's the final visit weekend before the early signing period. Nebraska is expecting double-digit visitors this weekend and I'm expecting at least two names to be added to the final visit weekend. The race to eNSD is on. Hit the link...


UPDATE

So it's all in one spot there have been two additions to the list so far.

ATH Beni Ngoyi
