Volleyball Wisconsin lands Northwestern transfer Temi Thomas-Ailara

Scary addition for the Badgers who get a multi-time All-American and one of the best offensive outside hitters in college volleyball. She’ll have only one year left of eligibility. Thomas-Ailara was second in the Big Ten last year with 4.33 kills per set. With the addition of All-Big Ten middle blocker Carter Booth earlier in the offseason, Wisconsin is looking tough. With Penn State nabbing Mac Podraza earlier in the offseason, the top of the Big Ten is going to be a bloodbath.

Recruiting rankings

ESPN has NU at 25; behind Colorado and Texas Tech, ahead of Mich St, Miss St, Washington. They usually have NU ranked much lower than any other service.

Player rankings discrepancy:
C. Lenhardt highest ranked player
E. Nation top 300 4*
R. Van Poppel 4*
K. Ives much higher
D. Rogers much lower

Most others about the same. Since most college football fans only hear/see ESPN rankings for recruiting (unlike us losers), probably a good thing they have us ranked where they do.

Btw neon deons Colorado buffalos checked in at 23, w/8 wrs of their 20 non-transfer additions.

Baseball Nebraska adds 2024 RHP Aiden Lieser

Nebraska added onto its 2024 class with a commitment from Aiden Lieser Wednesday afternoon. Huskers doing a nice job of recruiting Minnesota as Lieser resides in the Twin Cities. Nebraska adds the right-hander that topped out at 90 mph on his fastball with a changeup that reaches 78-80 and a slider that sits at 77-78. It’s the second commit in the ‘24 class for NU as Devin Nunez from Texas committed to the Huskers last week.

Football Five Takeaways: Matt Rhule Signing Day press conference

Hey, Matt Rhule talked about the scholarship numbers!

He talked about a lot more at today's press conference. Here are five takeaways:

SIAP - A Creative (and Powerful) Use of NIL by USC

The linked article describes one way a NIL group is paying the way for player's families to attend games, they pay for travel and lodging for the families to attend games. In return the players are required to do some promotional work. I think this really would be very effective for a school like Nebraska to do being located so distant from some of the recruiting hotbeds. Families of players obviously like to attend the games and sometimes that's a big factor in choosing schools.

P.S. USC is one of the leaders in acquiring players from the portal. Lot's of NIL there.

BIG 3-6-6 football schedule?


I thought this was an interesting article
3 teams every year and rotate the other 6. Not sure if they’d have to do pods. I am assuming Iowa and perhaps one of USC/UCLA and maybe another nearby team for us. Not doing pods allows them to spread out the Cali schools.

Scholarship roster numbers

I remember years where Bo would start Fall camp with only 78 or so players on scholarship.

Right now if my count is right we will go into Spring practice with 81 scholarship players. That's a crazy amount for Spring. Should allow the coaches and players to see where they are and who needs to move on. Should give the coaches plenty to work with.

Basketball Nebraska puts scare in the Illini, but runs out of gas

“We’re just lost without Derrick on the floor right now,” Fred Hoiberg said. “Execution down the stretch, it was just awful. We just could not get to the right spots. Again, when Derrick’s not out there we really struggle."

The undermanned Huskers fought hard, but there's just not enough there to finish the job.
