Is Hunter Sallis a Bust?

The former 5 star is in his second year and still coming off the bench for Gonzaga. I don't see his draft stock improving with his limited playing time. Maybe he'll enter the portal and come to Lincoln.


Meanwhile at St. Mary's College this true freshman, Aidan Mahaney, is the real deal. He torched the Zags last night for 18 points in the win.

Revolvers...

Discussion among relatives. Does a Colt revolve clockwise or counter-wise. A quick Google check said "Why do guns revolve clockwise?" A safe check showed a Ruger Security-Six that rotated counter-clockwise, a S&W Airweight that did also and a Charter Arms Police Undercover that rotates clockwise. I owned a sweet Diamondback in the 70's but do not remmber which way she turned.
Only Colt owners need to reply.

Softball Courtney Wallace tosses third shutout in three days in 2-0 win over Virginia

Courtney Wallace completed a memorable weekend at the Houston Invitational by pitching a complete game shutout in a 2-0 victory over the Cavaliers to close out the three-day tournament. Wallace allowed only six hits while striking out four batters and walking one.

Wallace also tossed five scoreless innings in a season-opening win over Lamar on Friday before shutting out host Houston across seven innings on Saturday afternoon. In total, the graduate student gave up zero runs on 12 hits in 19 innings with 14 strikeouts and four walks over the weekend.

On Sunday, first baseman Mya Felder hit a two-run homer to center field in the fourth inning for the only score of the game. Wallace also went 2-for-2 at the plate and was the other run brought home on the Felder home run.

The Huskers wrap up the weekend 4-1 and will now head down to Las Cruces, New Mexico to take part in the Troy Cox Classic. Their first opponent will be Oklahoma State on Friday, Feb. 24 at 12:30 p.m. as the Cowboys are the ones who knocked out Nebraska of the NCAA Tournament last spring.

Introduction

Good morning. Long Time Lurker here. As a Huskers fanatic, I've read this board for many years. One of my hobbies is watching and analyzing old Husker games. The reason I finally joined is that I endeavor to share my game notes and reminisce with fellow fans. If this sounds boring to you, feel free to skip my posts or write snarky comments about my lack of a real life. In any case, I look forward to perhaps some spirited discussions.

Doesn't it make sense now to make some changes on eligibility?

Now that there's NIL money and the players can probably get paid more than 99% of them would get from the NFL before they are 22 years old:

1. Allow any player in any sport to turn pro right out of HS.
2. Any player who signs a FBS LOI and begins school has to stay for 4 seasons after HS. Clearly it would be less for JUCO players.
3. Any player cut from a sport (unless for misconduct) who received a scholarship gets to keep it and just be a student until graduation without the scholarship counting against the limit.
4. 25 limit per year for teams finishing in the Top 10 (CFP ratings) in football. For everyone else, no limit per year.
5. Stay with the 85 limit for football. After cuts, you'll probably have 130 on campus on scholarship, but only 85 would be able to play.
6. Hard 5 years eligibility for all athletes.

Softball Huskers shut out Lamar in second consecutive day

The Nebraska softball team blanked Lamar for the second straight day and opened up Day 2 of the Houston Invitational with a 7-0 victory over the Cardinals. Sarah Harness put up a masterful performance in the circle by tossing her first career shutout while striking out 11 batters in six innings. Lamar managed only one hit which came in the very first at-bat for the Cardinals.

The Husker offense exploded for 14 hits as Billie and Brooke Andrews combined for six knocks. Billie started the Nebraska offense off with a first-inning home run which moved her to 10th all-time in career home runs with 28. Courtney Wallace and Katelyn Caneda each contributed two hits while Sydney Gray knocked in two runs.

Nebraska is currently playing Houston and you can listen along on the Huskers Radio Network of its affiliates.

Wrestling FINAL: No. 8 Nebraska 25, No. 5 Ohio State 16

It's a big one tonight in Columbus as Nebraska (9-3, 5-1) takes on a top-five team in the Buckeyes (12-2, 6-1). It's the 15th matchup between the two programs with the Huskers leading 9-5 and won the most recent matchup which was a 19-14 in the 2019-2020 season. If you can remember that far back, Isaiah White came up with a pin (with an injured ankle) to deliver a walk-off win.

We could have five ranked matchups tonight with the big one at 174 with No. 2 Mikey Labriola vs. No. 6 Ethan Smith. 184 will be a huge test for freshman No. 15 Lenny Pinto as he faces No. 5 Kaleb Romero who's an established veteran.

You can watch along with BTN.

Dominic Raiola: Rhule a Mastermind at rebuilds

Dominic Raiola Cliffs:
  • Thought Dylan a better baseball player than football
  • Dylan pegged as a lineman early on, but wanted to play QB
  • Calls all Dom's QBs through the league "Uncle" (polynesian thing), growing up around NFL
  • Raising Dylan first and foremost to be a good person, bible study, live it. Doesn't think Dylan will get a big head.
  • Nobody's gonna have Nebraska's facilities when the construction is complete
  • "Now you actually have...a mastermind at rebuilding college football programs" in Rhule
  • Rhule weight room culture improving, everybody wearing the same thing, alludes to knowing more with Donovan
  • Rhule easy to talk to, not a lot of fluff
  • Donovan retention speaks for itself
