Transfers for volleyball might be more nuts than football.

I don't expect much activity for Nebraska, maybe bring in an Opp and supposedly Grace Lopez from Miami is interested. But really not expecting a whole lot of movement.

But some teams in our conference it is total chaos. Hudson, Chicoine and Myers, three starters are transferring from Purdue. Ohio State is losing Sellman to Penn State and Egan to Wisconsin, Ohio State also lost Murphy and Brandewine. Also budding star OH at USC Jadyn Livings is transferring. That is going to just gut those programs, young starting talent leaving.

Anyone buying bitcoin before the whales jump in during january?

According to multiple reports, Nebraska is set to hire Addison Williams as its DBs coach.

Williams spent the past four seasons at UCF under Gus Malzahn. Williams was the DC since 2023 and also held the roles of associate head coach and DBs coach.

A look at 10 big names for 2025:

Andi Jackson and Lexi Rodriguez are named First Team All-Americans, while Bergen Reilly and Harper Murray each earn Second Team honors.

I'm leaning Georgia and all that 5 star talent rising to the top amidst a rather weak field (all things considered) ... lots of GOOD but not GREAT teams this year

So many BAD teams ... very few good ones ... if your team does NOT have one of the elite handful of QBs, you really can't realistically talk about the Super Bowl ... maybe if you are like my Niners and find one of the top 10 QBs, you can load up a roster and make a run or two, but then still end up losing to Mahomes twice ... where again, the rules protect and favor the top QBs so much it's almost impossible to beat them in playoff scenarios.

Top OL in the portal. Make this one happen!

What are Rhules chances here with this kid?

They’d care to share? Looking to purchase about 8 tickets to Nebraska Cincinnati. But presale requires a pass code. Thx.

If so DM me.

Apparently a Libero has never won POTY. It would be sweet to see Lexi be the first little to win it. Her defensive play is second to no one. Like the meme going around says, "The ocean covers 71% of the world's surface. Lexi covers the rest."

"These four players stood above the rest with their outstanding play all season long, helping their teams rank among the nation’s elite.

Olivia Babcock, University of Pittsburgh
Brooklyn DeLeye, University of Kentucky
Sarah Franklin, University of Wisconsin
Lexi Rodriguez, University of Nebraska

The winner of the 2024 AVCA Player of the Year will be announced Friday, Dec. 20, during an awards banquet at the AVCA Convention in Louisville, Kentucky."

Only 2 schools to place 4

I saw a ranking the other day of colleges and their NIL money and Nebraska wasn’t even in the top 25. I thought we were a top 5-10 school. Does anyone know where we stand? Thanks.

“Name the former Nebraska men’s basketball player who recorded just the second triple-double in school history on this date in 2020 in the Huskers’ 110-64 victory over Doane University. Give his final stat line for points, rebounds and assists in that game.”

13 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists

So sad to see all these kids on X posting that they are still available. Sure, some of them made a bad choice when they went in (they are working with a brain that hasn't fully developed yet & I'm sure many are being given bad advice by agents and friends/family). But MANY were forced in by the roster limitations.

The powers that be better get this crap figured out before it ruins more kids' dreams and totally wrecks college football. I wish I was surprised that this has become such a cluster.

The last 4 years will go down as one of the stupidest times in history across the board.

Everyone is looking for a Russell Wilson, Randy Moss type of transfer. I was trying to remember the biggest impact transfers we have had over the years. Here's a few:
(Note: I'm adding to the list as suggestions come in)

Bob Newton
I.M. Hipp
Jarvis Redwine
Mike Rozier
Jimmy Williams
Terrell Farley
Jared Tomich
Zach Taylor
Trey Palmer
Alex Lewis
Scott Frost
Vince Feragamo


I'm sure there are many more. Additions?
