Jimari Butler was good today, detailing his journey in the portal and a connection formed with a fellow linebacker. Hit the link.

But neither did any of you that don’t know what day it is

Big road weekend series for the Huskers. Hit the link.

Nebraska is about to wrap up its ninth spring practice. In about 30 minutes or so, we are set to meet with Matt Rhule, Bob Wager and 3-4 selected players for the Huskers' latest press conference. We'll have a few updates in this thread before running out our quick hits, takeaways and more later this morning/afternoon.

Kearney is one of my favorite prospects this cycle. I think he’s got NFL potential and he’s been on the Huskers’ radar since this staff took the job.

Good news is that the visit isn’t changing because he’s not interested. He text me and said that his parents want to reschedule for June.

Matt Rhule confirmed that Arik Gilbert needs a transfer waiver and believes he should get one. But if it isn't granted, he says the Huskers have always had a plan for Gilbert.

"When I took Arik, I told him, ‘This is a long-term play for you and your future.'"

Things shaping up in the tight end group. Hit the link.

I've been able to confirm that Nebraska will host former Charlotte guard Brice Williams this Friday to Sunday.

Williams is a 6-foot-7, 215-pound guard who spent the past four seasons with he 49ers, who just won the CBI championship. This past season Williams led Charlotte in scoring, averaging 13.8 points. He also averaged 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. He was a second-team All-Conference USA selection and was the CBI Most Valuable Player.

Williams mostly came off the bench for Charlotte and started 13 of the 38 games. He played starter's minutes, though. Williams shot 39.7% from 3-point range on 4.1 attempts per game. He also shot 84% at the free-throw line.

My Brain: "Why is Coach Rhule wearing a toupee?"

"If I can get more and more of the other guys to do what Myles has done, we’ll have a chance to have a good team.”

Good stuff from Matt Rhule on Myles Farmer today. Here's more:

Per his Instagram, Kerr Kriisa is headed to Morgantown. He had visited Lincoln.

Because of the horrible economy, I've had to downsize my staff. Unfortunately this included the personal chef and her staff. Does anyone have any experience with those "meal kits" which are delivered directly to the front gate?

College football's second transfer portal window officially opens on April 15 and runs through April 30.
Nebraska: Help in the Trenches
New coach Matt Rhule already has one of the Big Ten's top portal classes with 11 additions, including quarterback Jeff Sims (Georgia Tech), receiver Billy Kemp IV (Virginia), tight end Arik Gilbert (Georgia) and a couple of offensive linemen. If Rhule finds the right fit, adding a body or two on the offensive line (especially at tackle) would fill a need. Texas A&M transfer Elijah Jeudy was a key get on the defensive side in the first window, but similar to the offense, the Cornhuskers could look for more help or depth in the trenches.

Where is Moses? Transferred to Iowa Western, but where or what is he doing these days?

We had a mouse in the house that the wife's cats would chase but never capture. I set peanut butter out and one was even licked clean so I put the peanut butter under the flapper. Bingo! We got him... the cats swatted at it said "Dad. You got him. Now we need to find someone else to hate."
Poor Puddy.

It keeps popping up in my mind of an "Old School" two tight end formation with Arik out side of Benhart.. Fidone on the other end outside of Teddy P... Just run baby run. and don't forget the center and two guards. Have visions on Bob Brown dancing across my mind...

Today's presser takeaways column focuses on Nebraska RB coach E.J. Barthel:

>>> His "intense" coaching style
>>> How Christian McCaffrey made him a better coach
>>> Working on Gabe Ervin Jr.'s "running back menu"

Tier 1: Duke, UNC, Kentucky
Tier 2: Uconn, Kansas, UCLA
Tier 3: Indiana

Is this a fair assessment? Also how much longer until Indiana falls out of the ranks?
