    May 22 2025

Who is the most difficult game? Which games does everyone include? Which one was only included by one list? Then the three discussed Matt Rhule’s placement on CBS Sports annual coaching list ranking, which really led to a discussion about PJ Fleck and the Minnesota Gophers program that no one knew they wanted. Finally some baseball and softball talk as both teams have huge games on Friday. Nebraska baseball’s season is on the line against Oregon while the Huskers hope to win a series in Knoxville and punch their ticket to the Women’s College World Series over Tennessee.

    Full Husker roster and schedule news
    May 14 2025
    Nebraska successfully managed to get Syracuse commit Kamnron Wilson to change one of his official visits scheduled in June to get the Huskers on the list. Wilson, who visited the Huskers in April, changed his scheduled June 6 visit to Cal to Nebraska. He announced the move on social media on Wednesday morning. The Huskers have been pursuing Wilson fairly heavily with Phil Simpson being one of the most involved recruiters on Nebraska’s behalf. The talented defender committed to Syracuse in March, but continued to take visits, as the Huskers brought him in several weeks after. It was a strong visit for Nebraska, which impressed Wilson enough, that he continued the dialogue with the Huskers and after Simpson visited earlier this week NU was able to land the coveted official visit. Making the trek at the same time is offensive lineman Ryan Miret, Wilson’s high school teammate, who also holds a Nebraska offer and is planning to visit the same weekend. Wilson is a three-star as ranked by 247Sports and 247Sports Composite. Husker247 View: Nebraska is in a great spot here despite the commitment. Wilson has told the Florida State 247Sports site the best visit he went on all spring was Nebraska. The best facilities he’s seen are Nebraska. Simpson has done a really nice job here. We’ll see where it goes, but right now it appears Nebraska has the best shot at flipping Wilson. Don’t discount a big push from the Seminoles though.

    Husker247 Podcast: 2025s set to arrive and a Raiola ranking
    May 13 2025
    The Husker247 Podcast returns at full strength as Michael Bruntz tells Mike Schaefer, Brian Christopherson and the listeners about Adrian Martinez’s presence in Norway and the three discuss 2025 freshmen that haven’t arrived, Dylan Raiola and more. Which late arriving freshman have the potential to help out early in their careers? Which, if any, defensive linemen could take the Keona Davis route? What to make of linemen like Shawn Hammerbeck, Juju Marks and Brian Tapu? Where is the best position for Jeremiah Jones? Then the trio discuss Raiola’s ranking in 247Sports list of top returning quarterbacks. Does Raiola get enough credit for being the rare quarterback to play for a Power Conference team all season as a freshman? Should he automatically end up behind quarterbacks who haven’t played much or at all even if the team context is better? Finally there’s a little too much NBA talk and no one is sure how it got there.

Trieu broke down how Taylor and his family reached their decision, other teams involved and what the quarterback could bring to Nebraska. Then the two discussed the challenges of a quarterback committing this early, why Nebraska might look enticing in 2027 and how Taylor could be a very valuable peer recruiter for the Huskers.
