Charlie Creme has the Huskers in the category of "first four out" in "bracketology for 2022"

understood..........however, you know with a Caitlin Clark on the roster, discussion is going to be there. Huskers really need to grab Prince!!!

interesting column on the transfer portal... https://www.startribune.com/college-recruiting-battles-will-never-end-during-transfer-portal-era-ncaa/600064106/ "ESPN published a story last week that raised the notion of rampant tampering inside college football. That certainly seems likely, considering how easy it would be to pull off and difficult to prove and punish. Coaches have any number of back channels available to get word to a player on a different team that he has a scholarship and a big role in the offense waiting."

here's a gopher interview with shimmy...

that would appear to make sense. what? happened in december and never made an appearance after that?

john baylor will be on sports nightly at 6:40 just thought i would pass that along since it's a little quiet on the wbb side. guessing he might talk about the upcoming schedule that was just released.

Swedlund has given a verbal to Kansas. since she is from my home state, it will be interesting to how she does down at Kansas. she is a basketball junky---so, who knows.

https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/31561084/new-partnership-allow-college-athletes-earn-money-content-posted-twitter Blake Lawrence, the co-founder of Opendorse and a former Nebraska football player, said the deal with Twitter will ensure that college athletes align with approved advertisers and published videos are compliant with NCAA rules and various state laws. Among the schools that have deals with Opendorse are Nebraska, Texas, Ohio State, LSU, Indiana and BYU.

https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/31515016/mess Auriema comments on transfer portal... "There's something wrong with the recruiting system, there's something wrong with the culture of college basketball today, there's something wrong with the entitlement that happens to exist today," he said. "And there's something wrong with this idea of, you know, student-athlete welfare, that everything should be done to accommodate the student-athlete, with no regard whatsoever to the coaches who work their ass off, to recruit these kids in the first place, work with them, help them get better, make them the player that they are. And then they up and leave with no consequences whatsoever." "If we, as coaches, just call a kid in and say, 'Look, you know, I thought you'd be a lot better than this. So I'm taking away your scholarship,' we will get crucified," he said. "But yet a kid can just up and leave for no reason whatsoever. Other than, 'I just don't want to be here anymore. I don't like it here anymore.' OK. So, yeah, there's a time when it's absolutely positively appropriate for a kid to have to make a change. Believe me, I've been on both sides of where kids have left here. And where kids have come in. I've been on both sides.

well, coach williams stated in an interview that the new class would partake in workouts in june....the only exception may be the transfer from oregon. she has classes to finish and may get to lincoln late june. the more i hear about Allison, the more excited i am to see what she brings. no doubt very athletic.

Minnesota has made an offer.......minny recruits some pretty good guards.
