Damn…that one hurts, I say this as an Omahan - freakin Omaha kids. 

We had to re-offer Biliew just so that Wake Forest would have someone to blow their NIL on

Don't forget about Carter Whitt.  On second thought, go ahead and forget about Carter Whitt.

After Friedrichson, Sallis, and now Kyle, I'm starting to think Steve Forbes' recruiting strategy is just "see who Fred offers, then offer them a big bag." 

Hopefully, but these kinds of decisions are made every day at portal time.   How far to go on NIL with each player/agent, figuring out what's real, drawing a line knowing that's effectively letting a guy go.   I'm probably stating the obvious, but this is so much about money now, rather than a better fit at a new program, etc.   And on the program end, there comes a point where the price is higher than the player is good, and you have to keep some dry powder.   
 
The good news is in the play for pay era, our new AD is totally committed to that, and will overtly support 1890 until the system changes and allows direct institutional participation or changes to an employee model.   Fred is very pleased with Dannen so far.   Fred has almost double what he had to work with on the pay players budget from a year ago.  We're all in on the current system.
 
We're really trying to get a visit from Payne, but the NIL demands are very, very high.  We're getting a visit from Essigian, assuming he doesn't commit to Indiana on his visit there.   Kyle supposed to come next weekend but concerned about Wake giving him a huge number, like they did Sallis.

I really like this kid’s potential and think he’ll be a perfect fit for Hoiberg’s offense.  I remember watching him play against Nebraska thinking I’d love to have this kid on our team.  Big get IMO.

Expecting the worst, hoping for the best 

I’m fine if he decides to stay at my Alma mater.  Would love to have him become a Husker, but please don’t go to Creighton, Wisconsin or Michigan St.

Happy to announce that despite various openings and opportunities out there that Husker Hoops Central will remain at Nebraska for its 20th season.
Just got this puppy today.
 

 
 

Griffiths would fit our system to perfection. 

Perhaps he really wants to know what it feels like to win a game at Pinnacle Bank Arena for a change???

Not close to equivalent to the Tiger Woods shot where the ball stops and slowly turns over, the camera pans in, and Nike gets free advertising from its logo blasted all around the world.
 
But I'd like to think this was Tominaga giving us one last knod. Captivating the in-house crowd with his shooting, then captivating the TV crowd with his charisma, and then finally captivating the internet crowd with his pause, shot, no look, and then the camera captures it... "Nebraska" on the jersey.
 
Thank you, Keisei. You did it for the game. But you mean so much more to this program. 私たちはあなたを愛してます。

Mast, you’re up.

A year watching Arthur Kaluma play and I'd be ready to head to Arkansas too

Mast, you’re up.

I guess the question is, does he want to beat Indiana, or lose to Nebraska.
