Manske is supposed to visit Nebraska this weekend based on what he said a week ago but now there seems to be a possibility he is visiting Cockeye City instead

Given that Manske was rumored to be on commit watch, mark me down as "Yikes"

The only possible explanation is that Dylan is about to flip to us.

They appear to have one coach for each player on the field.

Fun fact - there are 8 people from Ainsworth (pop. 1,615) in this video, or 0.5% of the town's population.

The equivalent for a kid from the Omaha Metro (pop. 1.065m per wikipedia) would contain 5,240 people, and 3,275 of them would be coaches

One look at what Cockeye has, he’ll be jumping to Nebraska in a heartbeat.

The local media only talks about his visits to Lincoln. This will be his 6th visit to Cockeye, he has been to Cockeye St 6 times and Nebraska 5 times. After this he will have visited all 3 schools twice this football season.

That’s a great point. Maybe taking the visit to make sure he wants to be a sker before pulling the trigger.

On one hand, I'm high on Manske as a prospect. On the other hand, Cockeye wants him.

Cockeye state wants him more than Cockeye.

Mongo’s Musings​

***The news that Algona (Cockeye) quarterback Alex Manske would be in Cockeye City this weekend instead of Lincoln wasn’t surprising. Is it bad for Nebraska? Not really.

Since Manske first visited NU this fall for the Northern Illinois game, he thought he would be back for another game or two. It was believed he would come for the Cockeye game. Why not? It’s a great opportunity for Manske to see the Huskers play the Cockeyes in Lincoln.

What’s been missed, mainly because of the lack of a team site for Cockeye State, has been the trips to Ames. Last weekend, he hung out with San Francisco 49ers quarterback and ISU alum Brock Purdy. He was also at Cockeye State for a game in September. That gets a little lost looking at his Tater Island profile because there isn’t another team site actively tracking that.

He has been on the road most of the weekends this fall:

Nebraska – 9/16, 10/22, and 11/24 (projected)

Cockeye – 9/30 and 11/11

Cockeye State – 9/9 and 11/4

Kansas State – 9/23

As I dig more into things, I think ISU is more of a serious threat for Manske than I did originally. I still feel very good about things between Manske and Nebraska, though. If he makes it for the Cockeye game, it will be his sixth visit to Lincoln since early June.
