Official 2023 Nebraska Baseball Thread

[CornHub]

Their record against those teams does not prove it is a talent issue. Simply give those teams Nebraska's schedule and they aren't doing better than them. Midweek I would expect a better record though.

this REALLY deflates my penis wow how fvckin awful

 

[PonyBoy]

It was the same when I played basketball there. Scrimmages were very even. The move to D1 has upped the available talent. Omaha continues to produce good H.S. baseball players that Nebraska ignores.

Who has Bolt ignored?

Who has Bolt ignored?

 

[PonyBoy]

Bargo wasn't ignored. Right before his senior year started, Missouri came late with an offer and Dalton took it.

From February 2023:

As far as your other comment about the 2022 class, I don't think it's as simple as you say. There may have been 1 guy we should've went after a little harder & that's Dalton Bargo from Westside now at Missouri.

My opinion is, he received some poor advice/guidance from his summer coach.

So Bolt called him??

Bolt rarely calls anyone until they've been on a campus visit or sometimes it's after their game with him in attendance. I'd have to ask Mike or Dalton to give me a refresher on the details, which I won't do during the season. Bump this when Mizzou is done this year.

No need I will text Mike.

I did too. No direct call to Dalton. Mike just sent another one, Nebraska asked thru the Prospects if he'd walk on before Mizzou was in the picture.

I'm talking with his summer coach right now and Nebraska was in contact with him and he feels it would've been a JUCO follow. Dalton got hot late June in front of Missouri one weekend, as they were there for 2 guys on the other team, and the rest is history. No other power conference, or major D1 baseball school offered. This guy isn't a fan of Nebraska either, so I doubt he's blowing smoke.

So are you saying Bolt didn't miss on him when mizzou evaluated him on 1 weekend and offered.

No, they didn't miss on him. And Missouri didn't even know who he was, let alone evaluate him. Purely a dumb luck situation for them.

Hopefully Mike texts ya back soon.

Dumb Luck is better than no luck. I watched every game when Dalton was 12,13,14 and a lot of his summer with the Prospects as I was at the tourneys among every college except Nebraska. I have no idea which way Hale or the prospects were pointing him but the kid is a grinder and his work is showing up at Mizzou.

Eh, difference of opinion. Dumb luck isn't evaluating someone as you said. Nebraska asked about a walk on, Prospects said no. Not good on their end, it should be up to the player & his family, not an Organization to make the decision without consulting. Especially when said player had zero D1 offers, not even Omaha, the portal was brand new and passing on a D1 w/o spot to go JUCO was extremely bad advice for anyone in the 2022 class. My neighbor knows the family well, coached against him since he was 11 & was with his 2022 group at the MLK spring event in PHX so maybe you guys know each other. Omaha is a small baseball community, especially at this level.

I sure hope you're not saying Nebraska wasn't at 2022 Prospects tournaments because that's inaccurate. I talked with Lance and Jeff multiple times at the same tournaments.

He's a grinder because he took Hale's advice to heart, got his body right (late in the process but he did). That's always been the issue with him and without making that major body change, he's at a JUCO. I tip my hat to the kid & absolutely agree with you, he works his tail off & it's paying off at Mizzou.

Hey there's nothing wrong with JUCO ball especially the Jayhawk league where my son's playing. I hope Bolt and company don't forget about that league. There are some really nice prospects there which they know from their A&M days.

When did you play ball there?

 

[Frogsker30]

Who has Bolt ignored?

Not from omaha but from nebraska:

Mike Boeve, hastings
Cam Friedricks Lincoln (Both in the top of Batting average)
Noah Griese, Millard south


Just to name a few on Omahas roster.

Pretty sure the hoops were still baskets.

I'm a big JUCO guy, my nephews went that route and loved it.

Ridiculous and laughable. Your beef seems to be with Erstad, and is misplaced with Bolt. Here are the facts:

Boeve committed to Omaha before Bolt got the job at Nebraska. They went after him and he stayed committed for whatever (dumb) reasons. He had a chance last summer to enter the portal, and name pick a new school, not just Nebraska but SEC and Big 12 teams as well, & name his price, and he stayed with Omaha. Mike & his family are obviously loyal to Omaha.

Frederick committed to Pickle Smoochers in 2018, and started school before Bolt took the NU job. He hit .182 & .195 at Pickle Smoochers, transfers to Omaha and hit .191 last year. Ya, you want him now. Haha.

Greise committed to Wichita State in 2018, a year before Bolt took the job. He was evaluated, like Anglim was (WSU commit as well, switched to NU), and they deemed him not good enough to play in Lincoln. He redshirted at Wichita State, transferred to Omaha where he hit .237 last year and currently .308 in the Summit League.
