There are still around three weeks left before the Huskers head to Minneapolis. Tony White is starting to see what he wants from his defense.

“We want to play with Husker speed and we want to play with dominant contact. You see elements of it showing up on all three levels, from the D-line to the linebackers to the secondary guys.”

Jess Gardner puts football players blast on tik tok and tells them to toughen up after they were complaining about fall camp.

Jess is basically the Olivia Dunne of track and field. Interesting that not only volleyball is taking shots at football but now track and field. Hope Rhule can turn these soft guys tough.

Was hitting balls at Milt’s and on my way out didn’t realize 72nd and Q is still closed so had to turn around in Funplex parking lot. Much to my surprise, the team was piling into charter buses. I wouldn’t wish going to Funplex upon my enemies, but gotta hand it to Rhule for going all in on the bonding experiences.

Btw - you’re welcome @Zack Carpenter for sharing the inside scoop. Now you can be the only reporter that knows to ask Rhule who was the best go-kart driver on the team.

I just noticed that I am now an “All-American” and I got to wondering what all the stages or titles are. I remember starting out as a newbie or a walk-on but honestly have no idea what all the different titles are.

Yes it’s a slow Wednesday morning and thanks to anyone who helps with this question.

Guy made comments about the O’s record against the devil rays, and the front office suspended him for it. Some weak ass shit by their front office.

There are a few veteran players who can speak from experience on how this fall camp is different, why it matters and how it's impacted the team's overall mindset.

Phalen Sanford, step up to the mic.

Lot of good quotes from Sanford on Tuesday, including this one when he shook off a question about his individual goals.

“I wanna win. This’ll be my fifth year. I just wanna win. I grew up a Nebraska fan. I’m tired of seeing how it is. As Coach Rhule said, we’re tired of being sick and tired, so I just wanna win some games."


STORY:

That has pushed that freaking “X” to close a tweet, not once but multiple freaking times??🤣🤣

We've reached that weird time in the middle of fall camp. The season-opener is so close, yet so far away.

Matt Rhule needs his players — and coaches — to keep their foot on the gas during these dog days of camp. Here's more:

The 6-0, 175-pounder commits to NU out of Thompkins HS in the Houston area. Markle bats left-handed but throws as a righty.

Per Fivetool.org, Markle recorded a 1.82 pop time and a 99 mph exit velocity. He has a 3.78 second 30-yard dash and a 6.71 60 time. His catcher velocity is at 77 mph.

Time for another Recruiting Rundown! I dove into why worrying about the numbers for the 2024 class isn't worth it (the staff isn't worried about it) and caught up with top 2025 OL Houston Kaahaaina-Torres about his interest in the Huskers. Hit the link...

lmao 0-12 incoming

Matt Rhule gave injury updates to open Tuesday's press conference

>>> Maverick Noonan is out for the season
>>> Marcus Washington had "a really scary moment" at Monday's practice after landing "weird" but is expected to return soon
>>> Zavier Betts is " injured right now"

The volleyball season is just around the corner and that means some position previews. Hit the link.

Pretty cool to see Mark Manning and the Huskers go grab one of their own to fill that last assistant coach spot.

Very similar to the Jordan Larson hire from volleyball. Green will split duties by training at the NWTC and coaching. Big season coming up for NU with plenty of returners and Ridge Lovett coming back after his redshirt year. Full release:

…

Former Nebraska wrestling legend James Green has been named a full-time assistant coach for the Husker wrestling program, head coach Mark Manning announced Thursday.

A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., Green will join Manning, associate head coach Bryan Snyder and assistant coach Tervel Dlagnev ahead of the 2023-24 season.

“We’re extremely excited about James, Chandell, Glory and Aubrey being back in Lincoln,” Manning said. “The attitude, work ethic and commitment to excellence that James competed with both as a Husker and a six-time USA Wrestling World Team member gives our student-athletes a prime example of someone to imitate. His leadership as one of the world’s top competitors, coupled with his coaching experience provides our program with an amazing asset as we continue our march to the top. James’ passion and heart for Nebraska Wrestling will serve us well.”

This past June, Green announced he was coming out of retirement and will return to train at the Nebraska Wrestling Training Center (NWTC) after spending 14 months as USA Wrestling’s National Freestyle Developmental Coach in Colorado Springs, Colo.

“I am extremely grateful and excited to have the opportunity to be a part of the Husker Wrestling staff,” Green said. “I have learned a lot in my short time with USA Wrestling and look forward to sharing my knowledge with the current and future Nebraska wrestlers. As an alum, I’ve always imagined giving back to the program that has given so much to me. I am really grateful for Coach Manning giving me this opportunity. Go Big Red!”

As a Husker, the 2014 Big Ten Champion became just the second four-time All-American in school history as he placed seventh twice and third twice at NCAAs. On the professional side, he represented the United States on the World Team at the 70kg spot from 2015 to 2021, winning bronze in 2015 and silver in 2017.

Huskers shouldve thought of this

When will they be given out?
How will they award them?
What color will they be?
New staff better not mess this up

good to hear rhule helped getting him going in the right direction.
foremen was praising his talent last year..said they could rename the staduim for him..
