Here’s the quote, from someone newly-arrived in Lincoln: “You have to almost blindly trust your teammate next to you, and that comes with time,” Mast said. “So I hope that we scrimmage as much as possible, not too much obviously, but scrimmage a lot so that we can start trusting each other blindly, and that will definitely help us going into the season.”

Very cool!

Here's the punch-paragraph of the article According to NCAA guidelines, the punishment for athletes who wager on their own sport at another school is a loss of 50% of their remaining eligibility. Those who bet on their own teams or other sports at their own schools — as Ulis allegedly did by gambling on Iowa football — “will potentially face permanent loss of collegiate eligibility in all sports.”

Here are his official visits, as of the August 19 tweet above: Missouri: Sept 1-3 Rice: Sept 8-10 Xavier: Sept 22-24 Nebraska: Sept 29-Oct 1st Ohio State: Oct 7-9 So . . . before the Rice, Xavier, Nebraska and Ohio State visits even happen, he's (i) eliminated Nebraska and Ohio State, and (ii) added Tulsa. Go figure.

Yeah. And Murray went 3 of 13 from three that game—Keisei wore him out.

But . . . glass-nearly-empty curmudgeon posts are always delightful.

So . . . What’s the level of competition he’s been playing against? Is it B1G quality? Or is it substantially better or worse?

Actually, the real question is this: How well will the players we have work together to make the whole far greater than the sum of its parts?

Sounds like they had everyone there. Here’s from an Illini news source quoting Underwood: ”A full July with the entire team together made a difference,” and "We'll play everybody over there.”

According to Robin Washut: “Coleman chose the Huskers over Michigan, Central Florida, Ole Miss, Auburn, Oklahoma State, and more.”

Is this the Big East’s position on conference realignment?

Robin Washut says a point guard commit may happen soon.

Scoring--a lot--has always been a focus for Cale. This is from his Huskers.com bio: Before Nebraska. . . He averaged 17.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 3.6 steals per game. Jacobsen set the Class C-1 state tournament record with a 43-point performance in a win over Kearney Catholic and was tabbed to the all-tournament team covering all six classes. He finished his four-year varsity career with 1,481 career points, despite suffering a torn ACL in his first game of his junior season.

So . . . what are the portal rules on this? Let's say, hypothetically, that Mulcahy wants to revoke his enrollment and accepted scholarship and NIL deal at Washington and transfer to a different school. Would he be allowed to do so and play this coming season under transfer portal rules? Would it make a difference if the Washington side of Mulcahy's NIL failed to come through on what was promised?

Didn’t we recently land a 7 footer?

Looks like it. This is from 10/11 News (emphasis added): “Diop selected Nebraska after offers from Ole Miss, Arizona State, Seton Hall and Washington State. He joins Eli Rice as freshmen on the Huskers’ 2023-24 roster.”
