Is that gonna be enough to keep him from coming here? I genuinely dont know, but 12th round money doesnt seem to me like it'd be enticing enough to skip ahead.

I don't know anything about Cash, outside of him being a huge Husker fan.

Biggest news to me is Dylan Carey hasn't been selected, yet.

I think he'll sign for a ham sammich, even if it's missing the ham. Hope to be wrong.

And don't make it to Omaha (Arkansas had 11 overall drafted)...

Only took Arkansas who had 4 in the top 41 picks to oust them

And it wasn't close either.

Vols underperformed. Not even a national seed.

Follow. The. Money. (minus Arizona and a lesser extent FSU)

Hold the phone, DC & our staff are in talks. I'd put it as 75/25 he's back.

Any rumors about if any undrafted players will play anywhere? Such as drew?
Could see him just going to med school now

Kuiper signing with Detroit, Gwost still deciding. He's on campus and loving it so far:

Staff feels good about Gwost.

Kuiper is a major loss. Fuck, losing both him & Broderick put us in a not-so-good spot. Not to mention the Augustana RHP as we were hoping to replace Broderick with one of them. 0-3 on high leverage arms.

Portal, please have someone worth a shit.

All but confirms Hellstrom isn't coming back and as reported in the Bomb Shelter, Derek Roy is out which IMO is a good thing.

Jeff Christy landed him when he was an 8th grader/freshmen.

Now committed to Texas, likely not to attend. 2026 HS Class...

My swing looked just like that when I was a junior in high school

@HuskerBaseball

BB still an issue but these are legit numbers against extremely talented players.

Carey officially coming back:

“I had high hopes and was pretty confident in getting picked but at the end of the day I can’t control the outcome,” Carey said. “For me, it was a win-win. Coming back to Nebraska was never a bad option. I love Nebraska and I’m happy for an opportunity to play another year there.”

What Carey learned in the draft process was scouts want at least one trait to stand out in a prospect. Power. Speed. Elite defense. Something they can build around and turn into a differentiator at the next level.

The 6-foot-2, 210-pounder has a plan for how to improve his stock while helping the Huskers win. Pro teams likely see him at third base or second base, he said, though he’ll stick with shortstop in 2026 after making plays both routine and spectacular in Lincoln.

“I just didn’t have anything in my game that was in the 90th percentile,” Carey said. “I was 50th or 60th percentile in all aspects of my game. I want to focus on power and projecting more as a guy who can hit extra-base hits. And not just doubles and triples, but home runs.”

Similar to pitcher Drew Christo a year ago, Carey had no interest in signing as an undrafted free agent.
“It just felt like if I signed it was almost like a slap in the face,” Carey said. “Like, ‘We’ll sign you but you’re not good enough for us to draft you.’”
