Oh I thought it was about Qbs

Anybody got the scoop?

He flipped Carter Nelson to Georgia. I didn’t read the rest of the article. His reasoning was that the visit went really well

Stone is camping here. That's about all the update

 

[DuckSker]

Is it the camera angle that makes those throws look shitty as fuck? Huge hitch in his release and no zip. Dafuq?

The guys are standing 20 yards from him and the first one is high and outside and the second one barely gets there

 

[DuckSker]

He did better this past year but still doesn't absolutely dominate like you'd expect a guy that's been getting recruited since his freshman year to against kids literally 6 inches shorter than him. I love his ceiling personally, but thinks he's got a ways to go to be a great football player yet.

I love the sentiment that all 8 man players in Nebraska are 5’8 150. Hahaha

Tell me you haven't watched any of his games without telling me you haven't watched any of his games.

Uhhhh i actually live in the area and have seen him play live. I agree he didnt stand out. But not everyone he’s facing is a slouch

As do I. So you should know anyone running like he does is gonna be of the 5'8 variety. And anyone as tall as he is isn't break 12 seconds in the 100 anytime soon.

Anybody got the scoop?

Ainsworth tight end Carter Nelson is the most heavily recruited player in Nebraska in the 2024 recruiting cycle. He’s got legit offers from around the country and has seen all his top choices. That includes an official visit to Athens last weekend to check out Georgia.

There is a lot of buzz in Athens and around the Rivals network that Nelson will now end up as a Bulldog. He had a terrific visit to Georgia, and the Bulldogs are selling him hard that he can be their next Brock Bowers. When I put in my FutureCast for Nelson to be N, I did not believe Georgia would take a third tight end. They are pitching Nelson as a hybrid player. Nelson will still take his visits to Notre Dame, Penn State and Nebraska.

I believe the back-to-back champs will be hard to beat here, and I have flipped my FutureCast to Georgia.

Quarterback coming into focus​

Now that Nebraska has its 2024 quarterback in Bellevue West standout Daniel Kaelin all eyes are shifting to the Class of 2025. Nebraska’s staff has offered handful of signal-callers in the 2025 cycle, and Stone Saunders is one name emerging from the pack.

Saunders will make his third trip to Lincoln this Saturday (June 10) and will camp with Nebraska. It’ll be a great opportunity for him to work directly with the coaching staff. He already knows he loves Lincoln and the Pennsylvania native holds the staff in high regard. Saunders has been prolific in high school so far, throwing for 6,620 yards with 100 touchdowns and nine interceptions. The door is wide open for him to commit, but is he ready? Initially, he wanted to be committed sometime in 2023. Will that get delayed, or can the Huskers end things early?
A fun wrinkle this weekend: Both Saunders and Kaelin will be throwing at the camp.

A direct approach​

We posted the news earlier this week on the Insider's Board about Matt Rhule and Dae’vonn Hall mutually parting ways. I think that move gives us some clues on how the new Huskers coach wants to operate. Rhule has talked in press conferences about wanting to find players that truly want to be at Nebraska.

That will help them be all in on what the coaches are asking them to do. It’s hard being a college football player and do it at a high level, so you must want to truly be at that school. Florida linebacker commit Willis McGahee IV spoke with Inside Nebraska this week about Rhule’s thoughts on this after he took an official visit to UCF – where he met extensively with UCF defensive ends/rush coach Kenny Ingram.

"Before I committed to Nebraska, I gave my word to Coach Ingram that I would take an OV to UCF regardless of what happened," McGahee said. "I wanted to honor my word to Coach. He’s one of my favorite coaches in the country. Before I committed to Nebraska, I told Coach Rhule and the staff that I was going to continue to communicate with UCF and take an OV. Coach Rhule not only said he was fine with it but encouraged me to visit wherever school I thought I might like. He told me he wants not only the best of the best but the best of the best that truly want to be a Cornhusker."
In the long run, I think being proactive in this situation serves both Nebraska and the prospect. It also clearly puts players on notice that Rhule does not want the Huskers to be seen as a safe, fall-back choice for anyone.

That skit is getting old enough now I'm starting to think some people took it literally as naming ideas.
