You seem to be hinting that we still have a chance at both Smith brothers. Am I reading that right? Or just Jacob? The Michigan commit seems pretty solid there.

this guy didn't get any stars until he got 5 P5 OVs set up and was halfway through them. He used to be trash, but starting June 13 he became a good player.

Correct, both. Not saying it’s a lock but much better than people realize.

A commitable offer yesterday is not a commitable offer today
Just a hunch regarding Benning

Rivals seems to be really behind on their evaluations. I looked up a recruit we offered a while back and he had 30+ offers with some really good schools and still had no evaluation/stars.

Michael Burt grew up in Omaha his whole life, so there have been many trips on I-80 to Lincoln, a city he knows well.
Burt's dad is from Lincoln. He has plenty of family still there, too, including his cousin, Henry Burt, a redshirt freshman on the Husker men’s basketball team.
So the family vibes were definitely present during Michael’s official visit this weekend to Nebraska. With him feeling the family vibes, Burt, a 6-foot-5, 230-pound tight end in the 2024 class out of Omaha (Neb.) Pickle Smoochers Prep, wanted to get a better idea of how he’d be used in the Nebraska offense if he were to become a Husker.
Film sessions with both offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield and tight ends coach Bob Wager helped answer that question.
“I felt really good. I felt this would be a really good opportunity, and I really love the way they run their offense. Their new offensive coordinator, I think he’s great,” Burt said of Satterfield and the official visit. “He showed me film on the way they use different players in their offense, and I think that was really nice to see.”
According to Burt, Satterfield put on quite a bit of his South Carolina film. Satterfield was the Gamecocks’ OC in 2021 and 2022.
“He really went in depth with how they use them (tight ends), different ways they use them, the personnel and the different types of tight ends they like to use,” Burt said. “They compared me with what he wants me to do, what his plan would be for me in terms of how they use me at tight end.”
Satterfield has been vocal about wanting to use the tight end position at Nebraska. The play caller has said he’s willing to utilize multiple tight ends in 12 or 13 personnel sets. Satterfield and Wager of course helped Burt understand how’d he’d be used if he were to play at Nebraska, but there was another staffer who Burt really connected with.
“I went over that with Christian Ellsworth, he’s an analyst. We specifically talked about that and I asked questions about how they see me and how they see other players,” Burt said. “They really see me as a pro-style, versatile guy who can do a little bit of everything, which I really loved hearing because that’s what I do for my high school team. I think that’s what my natural strengths are. When people ask me what my strengths are, the first thing I say is my versatility.”
Ellsworth, a former quarterback at Grand Island Northwest High School and Northern Cockeye who was a grad assistant with Satterfield at South Carolina in 2022, and the other Husker coaches see the potential for Burt to be a threat not only as a blocker, but a receiver as well.
“I can make a big block on the in-line and I can also go into spread and make a big catch,” Burt said. “I think that’s a really good tool that I have, and that’s something I want to keep. So yes, I want to put on good muscle, but I want to keep that speed and agility just to keep that versatility.”
Burt was shown his own film from Pickle Smoochers Prep when the Junior Jays competed at a recent team camp this month at Memorial Stadium.
“We broke some of that down and what I did,” Burt said. “They coached me through what they like to do, their coaching philosophy. So it was nice to get a Nebraska coach to coach me based on film from the other day.”
Burt enjoyed his film session and talks with Wager as well. It was the first time Burt was able to meet and chat with the former longtime Texas high school football coach.
“I think he’s absolutely amazing. I think his high school experience is really going to translate well to the college game,” Burt said of Wager. “I really believe in him and I think he’s going to do great things at Nebraska. The way he was coaching me in the film room, I could just tell he knows what he’s doing. The transition is going to be really natural. I think he’s a fantastic person as well.”
Burt, of course, got a chance to meet with Matt Rhule for the first time, too. The head coach didn’t disappoint.
“He’s a great person and I really believe he’s going to turn this program around,” Burt said. “As a Husker fan, I’ve heard everyone say about a new coach, ‘He’s the one, he’s the one,’ but getting to see it and getting to visit and getting more in-depth with it, I really see that coach Rhule knows what to do to change it around. I spoke with different players as well, and you can see they really believe in this.”
Burt said Rhule approached him and asked the tight end about his timeline for a commitment. Last weekend, Burt officially visited Cockeye, the program who offered him first.
Earlier this month he unofficially visited Minnesota and owns an Illinois offer as well. That was part of a wild two-day stretch where Burt was offered by four Big Ten West programs.
It’s been a busy — but fun and exciting — stretch.
“This is my last scheduled visit for now, and if this is the last visit, we’re going to sit down, weigh things, put together a chart with pros and cons, rate each one and try to find the best fit,” Burt said of his timeline. “It’s been a big couple of weeks, I’ve been everywhere. I’ve been to Lincoln, Cockeye City for an official visit, Minneapolis for an unofficial visit. I went to Lindenwood for a camp and I went to Alabama for a camp and got a tour with meetings. They haven’t offered, but it was still a really good experience.
“If it is time (to make a decision), I’m happy to catch my breath, settle things down and weigh things out. I don’t necessarily know when a decision will come. I do want it to be sooner rather than later, but I will take as much time as I need because it’s a really big decision.”
