When is he supposed to commit. Thought yesterday

Anyone hear any instances of interest from the portal since the Jordy Bahl transfer?

Did the Lincoln native, Georgia tech catcher that was in the portal ever land somewhere?

Of where it sits now. Right on mark if you ask me.

Of the 22 starters of game one of the 1995 season, 10 were from Nebraska. How did TO do it?

Some of the analyst’s on staff you are high on or being a big help to such a young staff.

I see he is a top 100 player out of Omaha and I have not seen anything on him. Does he not have interest in NU?
Edit: I guess he is 2025 so maybe that is why?

Illinois

does it seem like waiting on his commitment was bogging down our recruiting as a whole?

I'm no expert by a long shot and maybe this is just the way it would have played out regardless, but it seems like waiting on him was kind of holding everything up. Once he committed to UGA and we moved on things just went BOOM!

Here are a couple from today's online reads. The first is about Minnesota basketball: “making his uphill road to rebuilding the Minnesota program even deeper.” How does an uphill road go deeper? Must be a Gopher thing.

Number two is from an article on portal impact on Big Ten football. It was lauding Nebraska’s acquisition of OL Ben Scott. “Scott started at tackle and center at Arizona State and left spring as the favorite to man the pivot for the Huskers in '23”. When I first read this, it confused me. I wasn’t sure what kind of offense Arizona State was running that had a position called left spring but since he was stated to be a pivot maybe he was going to play basketball as well.
