Jake Peters had two priorities when deciding his college program: a family and someone to believe in him.

He found both at Nebraska.

Peters breaks down his decision to choose the Huskers here:

I've got the day off and hanging out at the neighborhood pool with my kids. A lot of the soccer moms, aged 25 to 60, are reading books with similar titles.

I have no clue what these books are about, but I'm starting to think their might be a large number of bored moms in my neighborhood. Here are some of the titles I'm seeing:

Does It Hurt
The Couple Next Door
Slammed
The Arrangement
The Sinner
A Court of Frost and Starlight

Happy Father's Day to all of you on this Board! I'll spend my day awaiting phone calls from my 8 children. Hope all of you have a wonderful day.

Does the fact that Kaelin did so well at the Elite 11, have any barring on Nelson’s opinion of Nebraska now. Does Nelson feel better that he could have a legit QB throwing him the ball or is he looking at so many other factors that Kaelin’s performance will hardly sway him?

Hope all you dads have a great day!

Is this game ever going to resume? I’m not in Omaha, but radar looks fine.

For the second straight season Nebraska adds a corner infielder through the portal and this time it’s 1B Tyler Stone from Iowa Western.

Stone hit .360 with 15 HR and 66 RBI in 44 games in his lone season at Iowa. The 6-foot-2 Stone will have two seasons of eligibility after spending his first college season at Gonzaga. Reminds me of the Charlie Fischer pickup from last offseason.

Daniel Kaelin shined during tonight's Pro Day competition at the Elite 11 Finals. The Husker QB commit earned 43 points (out of 50) from the Elite 11 coaching staff and finished tied for 5th place out of the 20 QBs who competed. Official standings:

1 – Alabama 5-star commit Julian Sayin – 49 pts
2 – Texas Tech 4-star commit Will Hammond – 45 pts

T3 – Georgia 5-star commit Dylan Raiola – 44 pts
T3 – Notre Dame 4-star commit CJ Carr – 44 pts

T5 – Nebraska 3-star commit Daniel Kaelin – 43 pts
T5 – Colorado 3-star commit Danny O'Neil – 43 pts
T5 – Uncommitted 3-star Trever Jackson – 43 pts

T8 – Uncommitted 4-star Elijah Brown – 42 pts
T8 – Penn State 3-star commit Ethan Grunkemeyer – 42
T8 – LSU 4-star commit Colin Hurley – 42 pts
T8 – Florida 4-star commit DJ Lagway – 42

Kaelin had a decent all-around performance at Day 1 on Wednesday but was expected to bounce back in a big way during the Pro Day competition, and he delivered. Elite 11 wraps up tomorrow with the 7-on-7 tournament.

Funny note: They handed Kaelin the phone for the Instagram Live stream for the final QB of the night (Utah commit Isaac Wilson), and the stream was a lot more bearable (to use one word) with him running commentary.

Good time talking to Rob Childress yesterday. Hit the link.

Had a nice chat with the second commit of the 2025 class for Nebraska Volleyball. Hit the link.

The 2nd addition to the 2025 recruiting class came in the form of local product Keri Leimbach Saturday morning. Leimbach has been one of, if not the best libero in the state over the last two seasons in helping Lincoln Lutheran win back-to-back state titles. Leimbach joins No. 5 overall recruit and setter Campbell Flynn for the first two commits of the class. Hit the link.

A look at the group here:

Oh my.

These guys really get down.

Sex with a dog now!!!

Caught on trail camera.

Other site is reporting a friend of many of Husker fans and devoted contributor to Husker sites passed early this morning in Scotts Bluff. Prayers for Mrs BB and the family and RIP fellow Sker!

Does anyone remember who wins? 🤡

Daniel Kaelin is set to compete as one of the country's top 20 quarterback recruits in the Elite 11 Finals this week, beginning today. Inside Nebraska is breaking down the 2024 Husker commit with a three-part series over the next three days.

Here's Part I on how Kaelin transformed himself from a novice 7th-grade QB into a finalist at the renowned national competition over the last five years:

Thanks,
GBR Jack

It’s that time for submissions again. You ask a recruiting question and I’ll answer tomorrow morning. What’s on your mind?!

UPDATE: Here is the story. Thanks for the submissions and discussion!

Our longtime friend and poster @IM4NUalways dropped me a line today and asked me to pass this along to the group. I didn't see it in Aaron's post this morning so my apologies if someone else has already put this out. IM4NU called Mary Ann and asked if it would be okay to post and she said yes. The following I've pasted in from IM's message to me:

If you would like to send condolences, memories, thoughts or anything yore heart sees fit below is the email of his wife. She will appreciate it.

I know its early on in the process so send as you see fit. She is obviously heartbroken. 😥
