Breathing easier this morning ND is hiring Shrewsberry from Penn State.

Absolutely loaded lineup now, recently have added bill Busch, Kenny Wilhite, Adam carriker, and ahman green, can’t wait to football season

There was so much happening this morning that it might have gotten lost in the shuffle that Omaha Central 2024 offensive lineman Caleb Pyfrom visited campus today.

I caught up with the lineman briefly who told me that he enjoyed the visit to campus.

"I liked the energy of everyone and physical contact that was happening in every drill," Pyfrom said.

He's been on campus before having visited for the win over Indiana last season. Pyfrom was happy to get back around offensive line coach Donovan Raiola and see him coaching his guys again. He didn't get a chance to speak with Matt Rhule today but they are developing a good relationship.

"I didn’t get to speak with him today but i’ve spoken to him before and I like him," Pyfrom said. "I'm excited to see what he can do for this next season."

The Omaha native will be in Norman this weekend visiting Oklahoma and then he will return to Nebraska on April 1.

The NC game with #2 Florida. Wow, the game has changed. Florida's first touchdown was caught with the guys foot on the sideline and would have been overturned on replay today. NU consistently mugged FL receivers that would have been called today. Both teams were guilty of at least one outrageous late hit out of bounds that didn't get called (Tommie ended up in the kicker's net on one). And don't get me started on the numerous tackles and blocks that would now be flagged for targeting. I'm not saying changes made for safety are bad, but the game was sure different back then.

Garrett Nelson punched a hole through a wall when he found out he didn't get an invitation to the NFL Combine.

Well, he may have been joking.

The guy isn't going to stop chasing his dream, though. Here's more on that, as well as a couple more nuggets from Trey Palmer, Chancellor Brewington, Travis Vokolek and Caleb Tannor:

Great game tonight. I gave him crap a few days ago, but he had a great outing tonight. Keep up the hard work.

Should never been there in the first place.
What a sad mess.

It is a terrible, low grade product even at it's best ... I just can't see it lasting more than a year or two, even with the unfestered Saudi $$

Dominic and boys are here. I wasn’t going to say anything but he ended up sitting in the empty seat next to me waiting to board. Just had a brief conversation. Nice guy. I will say Dylan is much taller than I thought and definitely looks the part of a big time QB.

Some old boy with more nerve than me said, need to get those boys to Nebraska and Dom said, “I’m doing my part”.

Current situation.

Big weekend series for the Huskers. Hit the link.

Two words: Overhead Squat

I’m not talking about P5 and such, but lower level D1, FCS, DII.

They are going to make a kid do an overhead squat with just the bar. Great measure of if the kid is an athlete who can bend, and therefore an athlete that can get better with real body strength, flexibility, and functional movements.

Edit: I’m not talking about a lift to do everyday or trying to turn this into the best lift for athletes thread. I’m literally saying that these schools will make the kid do an overhead squat in from of them with just the bar, then will cross the kid off their list if he can’t do it.

Core Jackson could be back as soon as Wednesday.

Jake Bunz is playing catch and has thrown a couple bullpens.

Colby Gomes has not got back on the mound at practice.

Kyle Perry is scheduled for surgery on the 19th.

Today, we got our first of four open practice windows of the spring. Here are some quick observations from the defensive side of the ball Thursday.

No excuse not to use 2-3 TES at a time:

Fidone
Gilbert
Nate B
Rollins
Bonner
Applegate
Smith Flores

Or is this a big red flag

...you need a hug? You seem to be kind of angry right now...in SEVERAL threads.....

Here for you....

They have two schollie WRs available this spring.

I know many of you have been waiting patiently to get a look at the team. Check out our photo gallery below.

Raiola comes to town tomorrow, correct?

After visiting on Monday, the linebacker already has his date to return to Lincoln.

McGahee told me his overall thoughts on the visit.

"I loved it," McGhee said. "The staff showed us a lot of love. The facilities are the best I’ve seen in country. Love the coaches up there."

Nebraska's defensive staff told the Florida native they want him to play the Jack in their defense. That's a hybrid defensive end/outside linebacker spot and they told him that the defender reminds them of Hassan Reddick. McGahee loved that and how much the Huskers could feature him in their defense.

It helped that Nebraska already has a couple players that he's familiar with. They were in his ear during the visit.

"I played with [Dwight] Bootle and [Corey] Collier in high school. I got to hangout with them while I was up there. They were trying to get me to commit."

Things went well enough for McGahee to set a quick return visit for Nebraska's spring game on April 22. He was pleasantly surprised by what he found in Lincoln. Nebraska is now squarely in the mix for him.

"At first I didn’t even want to visit because it was so far and so cold," McGahee said. "After Monday with all the love the coaches have shown and how crazy their fans are they definitely one of my favorites right now. The plans they have for me in their defense is the main thing that puts them up there."
