Hey folks, welcome back to the Husker Big Red YouTube channel
0:03
I'm Chris Peterson and joining me as always is Danny Gillette. And we're back with another episode of our podcast
0:09
Sorry we missed it the other day on Monday. Just a little mix up of our inks
0:13
Wasn't feeling that great. So but we're back here on Wednesday and we've got lots of stuff to talk about
0:18
Spring football, the transfer portal. So before we get into it, make sure that you guys hit the like button, get into the comment

0:28
But Danny, how you doing this morning, man? Good. I'm a little sleepy, but a lot of news
0:34
We take Monday off and all of a sudden the news starts happening. So it's good to be back and let's get right into it
0:40
Yeah, there's lots of lots of things happening, I guess, particularly in the transfer portal
0:45
for basketball. So let's start there. I know a lot of Nebraska fans are, you know, worried about the transfer portal and wondering
0:51
about everything that's happening. A guy dropped in yesterday, Matar Diop, is the what, the sixth guy to enter into the
1:00
transfer portal, the seventh? I can't even keep track at this point. But so essentially with with him entering the portal, that's eight of 12 guys who were
1:07
on the team last year have now entered the transfer portal or are on the team
1:11
So basically, there's four, basically four guys coming back. And essentially, I mean, outside of I would say outside of Sam Hoiberg, I mean, there's
1:18
no guarantee. But that's the thing is, I think people, you know, we still don't have a guarantee that
1:23
Rick Mast, Bryce Williams and Juwan Gary are coming back. So until that happens, you know, Fred Hoiberg's got a lot of work to do
1:30
He does have a lot of work to do, but he's shown he can hit in the transfer portal and
1:34
he's done these roster rebuilds before. Now he kind of has a blueprint on how to, you know, play basketball in the big town
1:40
and the type of style it takes. So I'm not overly worried
1:44
I think having an NCAA tournament appearance under the belt will make it a little bit easier
1:51
sell for the program. And I also think obviously playing time is a big sell
1:55
And so I'm not too worried. The only one that really hurts, in my opinion, is Jermarcus Lawrence
2:00
I really liked him and now he's going to have a chance to play elsewhere
2:04
No, no, you know, ill feelings toward him. Best of luck. But I'm definitely going to miss him on the team and I'm going to miss the others too
2:12
I mean, this was a fun group. So it'll be interesting to see what Fred cooks up, but he's going to have to cook up
2:17
a lot and it's going to make for another interesting basketball offseason
2:22
Yeah, it will be interesting to see if he can actually get, you know, this team to 13
2:26
scholarship players. You know, I have my doubts if he's going to be able to do that because, you know, right
2:30
I mean, if they give Sam Hoiberg a scholarship, which he probably deserved one anyway, but
2:36
you know, so yeah, I mean, Diop and Blaze Kade, I mean, yeah, it's like those guys didn't
2:40
play a lot, but there's still, you know, guys that were in the program that should
2:44
have kind of taken a step forward and could possibly be too that, you know, there's not going to be room for them with some of the other big guys that they're getting
2:51
You know, they've they did a visit or they hosted William Kyle for a visit
2:56
You know, they had the Morgan kid from South Dakota State that they did an in-home visit with
3:00
But I mean, to me, you know, the Morgan, I believe it's Andrew Morgan. I'll have to double check
3:05
But, you know, to me, that kid just he looks a lot like Rink Mast. He's, you know, I mean, I don't really understand that particular, you know, target because
3:15
he's six, he's like six, nine or six, ten. And he's score. I mean, he scores quite a bit
3:19
But, you know, he averaged like he does not block shots. His rebounding rate has dipped the last two years
3:25
He shoots three. OK, but I'm like, you know, to have two guys like that, you know, to me, that would just
3:31
be another Rink Mast, you know, another guy that can't block shots. And so I'm like, does that you know, that makes me a little slightly worried that, you
3:37
know, Rink Mast isn't isn't coming back 100 percent like people think he is
3:41
So I mean, I still until those three guys say they're coming back like, you know, I
3:46
think there's reason to worry about this team for sure. That's roster. Yeah
3:50
But at the same time, I think there's a lot of options in the portal. And I think, you know, like I said, roster reconstruction is a strong point of this coaching
3:57
staff if there's one thing that we know that they can do consistently is construct a roster
4:03
And so I'm not overly worried yet. I think, you know, if one Gary comes back, that will be huge
4:10
You know, if Mast comes back, you know, we'll see. But I mean, like you said, the fact that they're recruiting a player of his type is kind of
4:17
maybe shifting to the fact that he's not coming back. And then, you know, and you mentioned, you know, you players like Blaze, Kata and, you
4:30
know, D up, you know, poised to take a leap. Well, we've been waiting for that for two years now
4:37
So at what point do you kind of just cut bait? And they did, whether it be on their own accord or whether they were told by the coaching
4:44
staff, who knows? We personally don't know that. But I mean, at the same time, you know, those two in particular, you were waiting for them
4:51
to really kind of, you know, take off and develop. And they just didn't do that here, I guess
4:59
Yeah, well, Blaze had injury. I mean, D up came, he was only he was late
5:03
I mean, he was only there for the one year. So that one does surprise me actually a little bit more that he, you know, left because I
5:10
mean, Fred actually kind of talked to him quite a bit when they signed him last year. And it would have been nice to see what he could have done with an offseason of development
5:18
They should have, you know, Aaron Euless back, you know, as long as he's back from his suspension
5:24
So I mean, really, you've got, I guess, so you've got six scholarship players, you know
5:29
if you count him essentially, because you got the three guys that would come back the
5:33
two freshmen and then him. So you'd have seven scholarship openings. So you know, just gonna have to do a lot of work because you know, you're missing your
5:42
best your leading score, your best player on top of that, Keisuke Tomonaga is gone
5:46
so they have to replace him. And you know, I think with Jim Marcus Lawrence, he probably it was kind of clear, he probably
5:52
wasn't going to get that job. So I think that's probably why he left
5:56
So you know, it is what it is, but they do need to find some peace
5:59
I mean, they need to find a starting point guard, they need to find a two guard and then they need to hope that they can get, you know, rank mass back
6:06
But it's like, you know, like you, you know, had best me about Frankie Fidler, but where
6:10
I just where's Frankie Fidler gonna play here? You know, where's he gonna come here to sit on the bench, you know, is Bryce Williams
6:16
gonna go off the bench? Is Gary gonna come off the bench and come back this year? So that's, that's where, you know, it's easy to say, yeah, let's go get guys in the portal
6:24
but you have to have roles for them. And you know, CJ Wilshire didn't want to come off the bench
6:28
So you know, I don't know that Frankie Fidler is going to want to and so if you if you bring
6:32
him in, then you're then you're telling one of your other guys, hey, you're going to come off the bench or they're going to play that super huge lineup, like they did last year
6:39
with Bryce at the two, you're gonna go get a point guard. I mean, it's just there are pieces in the portal, but you know how it all fits together
6:47
you know, and I'm just interested to see how it happens. Yeah, and I think, and I think it's definitely a valid concern
6:55
But you know, I just trust the coaching staff to make the most of these fits and, you know
7:00
try to, you know, piece together, you know, a roster that can, you know, compete in the
7:07
Big 10. I mean, one of the major problems I saw for last year's team was athleticism
7:14
You know, I think there's a lot of these targets that are mentioning like Kyle and Fidler and
7:19
you know, players like that. You know, they're, they're really athletic, and they're really quick movers
7:25
And, you know, in terms of they are coming from the summit league, though, I mean, that's
7:30
one thing to remember, too. They're, they're, you know, they're coming from a whole different league
7:34
It's a whole different world than the Big 10. Yeah, I mean, that's fair
7:38
But you know, then I saw the other day that they were looking at the Minnesota forward
7:45
I believe his name is Payne. And you know, he's only a sophomore, so they're exploring all options
7:52
I think, I think Coach Hoiberg took a visit earlier this week to go see some more guys
7:59
And, you know, I, I trust that this roster reconstruction will will go smoothly
8:04
I think they kind of, you know, the first couple roster reconstructions, you know, Fred
8:09
wasn't sure, you know, what would fit in the Big 10 and what wouldn't now he kind of knows
8:14
So I'm not overly worried yet. I mean, yeah, I'm not. I mean, it is partially, you know, that's just part of the world in college basketball
8:23
But I was hoping that they would be able to, you know, keep more I mean, you know, the
8:28
really losing to Marcus Lawrence was a was a bummer because he could have been a really
8:32
good bench player. I mean, we'll see how it all works out. Fred has a lot of work to do
8:37
There are targets, you know, there's plenty of options out there available and he does
8:40
have a lot to sell and a lot of playing time. But you know, just it's hard to rebuild your roster every single year
8:47
But unfortunately, that's kind of where college basketball is right now because it's it's
8:51
just it's just a weird the sports in a weird place with the transfer portal and, you know
8:56
all the, you know, all the older players, I guess. And it's just not a great it's not a great time, in my opinion, for college basketball
9:04
as a whole. But at any rate, no, you're right. I agree
9:08
I mean, and I think the all the transfer portal and the six year players, I mean, the six
9:11
year players or whatever will end soon. So I mean, I think better quality days for basketball are coming
9:18
It's just going to take a little bit to weed, you know, the six year players out
9:24
And then, you know, there's been obviously some recruiting stuff, but, you know, some
9:28
spring football, you know, kind of happening still. It's the second kind of their second full week of spring practice
9:35
They you know, Matt, I don't know if Matt Rule actually talked yesterday. Tony White, you know, talked at the podium and, you know, kind of the same old, you know
9:42
that's the thing I do. I mean, I kind of get sick of their press conferences because they just say the same
9:46
things, you know, I mean, it's like Tony White said, oh, we want to have the best defense and, you know, Cameron Leonard needs to take a leap like I get it
9:52
But, you know, it's like, please, for the love of God, will somebody tell me something actually meaningful at one of these things
9:58
No, I won't be there in spring ball. We'll see more. Well, we'll see it with our own eyes during the spring game, if anything
10:05
But I mean, yeah, Cameron Leonard needs to take a leap. That's pretty obvious
10:10
And I thought last week when he talked about having the freshman quarterbacks, you know
10:15
ready to go, I thought that was an interesting piece of information. Matt Rule said that
10:20
And so I'm kind of curious to see, you know, what these coaches say
10:27
I think there's a schedule where certain coaches will talk about certain things
10:33
And I'm hoping it's just not the same, you know, raw, raw vanilla press conference type
10:37
of stuff. That's what it will probably be. But it'll at least give me something to write
10:42
And yeah, I'm just I'm just really excited to see, you know, what this team will look
10:47
like coming out of the spring. And, you know, not too many photos or mentions of Dylan Riola
10:53
So that's good because, you know, we latch on to those things like there's no tomorrow
10:59
So it's good to keep the kid out of spotlight. Dante Dowdell looks healthy
11:04
Maverick Noonan is reportedly, you know, making, you know, big strides. And so a lot of good little notes here and there leaking out if you can find them
11:17
But other than that, not a whole lot to talk about in terms of spring practice yet
11:22
Yeah, I think there's some young guys, you know, making, you know, Jeremiah Charles
11:26
Ethan Nation, Demetrius Bell, you know, all those young guys are coming coming up together
11:32
But yeah, I mean, it's it's I mean, it's nice that Nebraska makes, you know, the coaches available
11:37
I find that the players give more information than the coaches. But even then, you know, it's just, you know, it's so hard because they don't want to say
11:45
you know, they don't want to single out, you know, like their teammates or say, you know, one thing about one guy
11:50
So I feel like that the players are trying to talk about everybody as much as they can
11:54
you know, like when Fedoni is talking about the quarterbacks, it's like, yeah, all the
11:58
quarterbacks are good. All the quarterbacks had a great offseason, you know, single, you know, one guy out or anything
12:04
So but it is nice that they actually have so much, you know, press availability
12:08
I think the most valuable thing is just getting to see I think those, you know, clips and
12:14
whatever we got to see from practice was probably more valuable than, you know, what the coaches
12:18
have told us, because, you know, they have their own agenda when they're going to the to meet with the press
12:22
I mean, it's, you know, I mean, that rule is very calculated when he talks to the media
12:26
and he has this little quips and stuff that but he does give up, you know, he does give
12:29
off a lot of information. I do appreciate that. But but anyway, that's just my little rant about, you know, spring press conferences
12:38
you know, it's like I had I saw one says, like, three takeaways from what Tony White said
12:44
I'm like, oh, there's takeaways from that. I didn't think he really said much of anything. Yeah, like I'm not going to try to write something or for something that's just not
12:50
there because I've seen, you know, quotes here and there. I'm just like, yeah, am I really going to write about that
12:55
No, it's a waste of everybody's time, including the people who read our stuff. So yeah, so I just kind of been chilling, waiting for something to interest me and excite me
13:05
But these press conferences are a little rough. Yeah, I can't imagine the players singling out any player or anything like that
13:12
It's all very kind of calculated. And so, yeah, they will slip up and say a few things here, there, you know, I mean
13:20
and yeah, I guess you could say, you know, it's cool that Tony White wants wants or thinks
13:25
that they could have the number one defense. I mean, that's cool. And you talk about guys that are, you know, practicing in certain spots, you know, that
13:32
sometimes will have, you know, certain information. But you know, at any rate, Demetrius Bell is a guy that's kind of been getting talked
13:41
about a little bit. I saw a picture of him the other day. He looked pretty good, looked very athletic
13:47
He's a guy that, you know, he wasn't forgotten about in the wide receiver room, but there
13:51
are just so many bodies in the 2023 class. And, you know, it was good to see him out there
13:56
And I wonder what kind of impact he can make. He's one of my sleeper guys to watch
14:00
And then kind of shifting to wide receivers a little bit, Nebraska made the top three
14:07
for Quinell Farrakhan Jr. And it's Nebraska, Alabama, Texas A&M, four star wide receiver
14:16
And the fact that we made the top three is encouraging. So there is that. Yeah
14:22
Yeah, I thought that was encouraging. But yeah, Demetrius Bell is a guy that I really like
14:27
Ethan Nation, I think, is, you know, making a push, you know, for that, you know, that
14:31
cornerback spot. So, yeah, those are a couple of guys. Maverick Noonan, which he mentioned, Tony White mentioned, and he's been coming off
14:38
an injury. So, you know, that's another one. Ben Poppel, you know, Uma Maley and Leonard
14:44
It's those guys. That's the keys. People want to talk about, you know, transfer portal and we have to find impact players
14:50
in the transfer portal and da da da. I saw something yesterday from pro football folks
14:55
I just mean in general, not even Nebraska fans. But I saw something from pro football folks
15:01
And I'm not saying they're the end all be all. They have plenty of problems. But, you know, they listed their top returning player at each position
15:08
Like for, you know, so there's like 10 or 11 players on offense and defense
15:11
And there was one transfer on that entire list, Caleb Downs from Ohio State
15:15
That was it. Every other guy was recruited and developed at their school
15:19
And I think that that, you know, shows you that, you know, while you can get good players
15:23
in the transfer portal, you're not getting like the guys. It's like NFL free agency
15:27
Like most of the time, there's a reason that the guys in the portal and Caleb Downs, the
15:32
Alabama kid wouldn't have left Alabama if Nick Saban wasn't, you know, didn't retire
15:38
So it's like even getting him was a special situation. I mean, yeah, every once in a while, you'll like the Michigan State running back, you'll
15:44
hit on the guy. But even last year, like, you know, Notre Dame got Sam Hartman, you know, to be their
15:49
big all end all, you know, he was going to fix everything. He had the exact same issues as the other quarterbacks
15:53
He couldn't win any good. He couldn't beat anybody good. So, you know, I guess at the end of the day, my point is that, you know, the teams that
16:00
win are the guys who can take their recruits. And by that second year, they can get them to play like four stars and take that big leap
16:08
That's where your impact players come from your own recruiting class, not the transfer portal
16:12
And I think that that is going to start showing itself even more in college football and probably
16:16
college basketball in the future, to be honest. Yeah, for sure. And, you know, Tim Virgies tweeted on Saturday, I believe it was, he said, quote, Mark me
16:26
down as a believer in Dwight Boodle for the CB2 spot. I think Ethan Nation makes a name for himself this year, one of the most competitive recruits
16:33
I've ever been around. So that's encouraging just because, you know, that's some of the young guys getting into
16:40
the mix and, you know, the recruits translating onto the field. So I really like both of those guys
16:46
Nation is incredibly athletic and so is Boodle. So I'll be interested to see how that plays out. Yeah
16:52
And I think, you know, all those guys, I think, you know, the nice thing about that is then
16:57
you can have kind of Malcolm Hartsog and kind of that, you know, hybrid, you know
17:01
safety, nickel, you know, whatever you want to call it. That's where I kind of prefer him
17:06
And, you know, just being that, you know, hybrid slot guy, you can have, you know, hopefully
17:11
Nation or Boodle, you know, Tommy Hill out there, Bly Hill, too, I think is going to
17:15
be so. I think you have four, you know, you got Tommy Hole, you have three, you know, second year
17:19
guys and Bly Hill's already played at the FCS level, but three second year guys ready
17:23
to take over, kind of be in that competition. Safety is really interesting, too
17:28
So but, you know, Gifford, Buford, Hartsog, I mean, they're set there, you know, Singleton
17:33
when he comes back. So what do you think about Camir Prescott? He's a name that I keep forgetting to mention, but he's he is also very talented, in my opinion
17:42
I mean, I think I think he's solid. I would I would bet on Caleb Benning playing before him, but that's just my opinion
17:47
I think Caleb Benning is going to be really I think people are going to be glad that he
17:52
ended up signing with Nebraska in a couple of years because I think he's, you know, he's
17:56
definitely one on this team I think was going to outplay his ranking, you know, when his
18:00
time is done in the. I feel the same way about about Donovan Jones. I know he played a similar position to Benning, but I think he's really talented, too
18:07
So there's a lot of talent for the future in that backfield. Yeah
18:12
Yeah, there definitely is. And in terms of, yeah, like, you know, more recruiting stuff, I you know, they had Pierce
18:19
Mooberry got, you know, another, you know, crystal ball this week, you know, so that's
18:26
kind of about it. There's a few more in-state offers, you know, which we can cover, you know, later
18:30
But I think things are trending in the right direction, you know, with lots of recruits there
18:35
You know, the next month is going to be, you know, pretty important, I think. And then, you know, obviously, their June visit dates
18:40
But, you know, I like how things are progressing, I think, with the 2025 class, except I do
18:46
think, you know, you need to be worried about Christian Jones and Chase Lofton because Texas
18:50
A&M is definitely making a move with Chase Lofton and Christian Jones is setting up a
18:54
bunch of visits and I haven't seen him, you know, set a spring visit to Nebraska
18:58
So if he doesn't visit during the spring game, I mean, because it was kind of a similar thing
19:02
Carter Nelson did the same thing last year. Then he did come for the spring game
19:05
So as long as Christian Jones comes for the spring game, I'm not going to worry about it
19:10
But if he's not there, I think that that isn't a great sign for Nebraska. I've kind of already written Christian Jones off
19:15
Chase Lofton would be the more attainable target, in my opinion, but I'll be interested
19:21
to see what the status of Lofton is because, I mean, Jones, I think, is just, I think either
19:29
Notre Dame is going to, I think Notre Dame is probably going to get him, to be honest
19:33
with you. You know, I, it's going to be hard for Nebraska to win that recruitment
19:39
And you know, I'm not, I would love to have him here, don't get me wrong, but I just don't
19:43
see it right now. Yeah, we'll see. Like I said, I mean, it depends if he comes for a spring visit or not
19:50
You know, I mean, he's been to Nebraska quite a bit. He said a lot of good things about Nebraska
19:53
So I'm not, I'm not willing to write him off quite yet, but you know, I definitely think
19:58
things are trending in the wrong way and I feel the same way with Chase Lofton
20:02
They just, but you know, that's happened plenty of times with Coleman and with, you know
20:07
with Carter Nelson, just how it happens. I can see them both committing elsewhere and then, you know, having an, you know, maybe
20:13
mid-season flip or something, if things go well in Lincoln, you never know. I mean, recruiting's not over until the players step on the field for their team and stay
20:22
there for at least two to three years. So I mean, recruiting is, it seems like it's always moving, so you can never count anybody out
20:31
I mean, if you would have told me at this time last year that Dylan Rayola would be
20:38
the starting quarterback on the roster, I would have kind of looked at you like you had three heads
20:42
But you know, it's always fluid. But just right now, I don't feel comfortable about Jones and maybe Lofton, but we'll see. Yeah. Yeah
20:53
It'll be interesting to see how that works out. Spring visits are key
20:57
Nebraska's obviously setting up to have a big, you know, a big visit day for their spring
21:01
game on April 27th. So we'll see how many guys they get for that one
21:07
But yeah, overall, I think they're, you know, in a good spot. I mean, Corey Sims, they have for a visit
21:11
You know, they've got, you know, Cortez Mills coming for a visit
21:15
So I mean, they've got a lot of talented guys. They just, you know, need to, you know, make that final push, kind of get, you know, get
21:22
over the hump, I guess. But as far as in-state recruits, I mean, until somebody comes and actually beats them for
21:27
one of their top targets, you know, I'm not, I'm not going to rule it out. It's like I said, they've been in this situation before
21:33
But it is going to be, you know, they're going to have to fight, you know, tooth and nail
21:36
to keep Lofton and Jones. So keep an eye on those two recruitments and look out for Christian Jones to, you know
21:43
hopefully set up a spring visit to Nebraska. And quite honestly, Mubarek is a guy that I think is going to outplay his ranking
21:49
You know, I think, you know, he's only he's only a three-star linebacker right now, 88th
21:56
98th, excuse me, 68th overall athlete in the class. But I think he could bump up to a four-star when all is said and done
22:04
I mean, he's really athletic and really talented. So if Nebraska could get him, I think that would be a nice, a nice get for the class
22:11
in my opinion. Then you talk about, you know, Mubarek, you know, Caden Vermaas, Tyson Terry, you know
22:18
that's a solid trio on defense. Then you have Connor Booth. I mean, you're setting up for a nice 2025 class for Nebraska
22:27
So I know it's a little bit more defensive focused, but I mean, you got some really talented
22:32
athletes there. Yeah, Nebraska also doing work on, you know, some future classes as well
22:38
Mason Druby is a quarterback who, you know, visited this week and they're going to kind
22:43
of keep building that relationship. No offer yet. Kylon Haney in Omaha Central running back in 2027 was offered this week
22:51
So that's, you know, another offer to kind of follow. And then let's see, there was another in-state kid that was just offered
23:02
Deshaun Prince, 2026 wide receiver from Omaha Central, another one. So really trying to get that Omaha, you know, metro area, which has been important for Nebraska
23:11
hasn't always gone Nebraska's way. You know, we saw Omaha kind of turn on Scott Frost after things went bad, but Pierce Newberry
23:17
another kid from Omaha. Matt Ludwig is a guy that definitely have on your radar from Billings, Montana
23:23
He's actually ranked in the top 300 of the on three rankings. Did you cover him at all when you were there
23:27
Yeah, I've seen, I've watched him play multiple times. He's legit. He's definitely the best player in Montana already as a junior
23:33
Why do you think they're focusing on Montana so much just because they know that they've had success there
23:38
I don't think they're focusing on it specifically. I mean, this, this kid has offers from Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Michigan State
23:46
So I mean, he's legit. He is in the Carter Nelson. He's basically he's Carter Nelson, but not as quite good of an athlete, you know, not
23:55
that fast, but he's in that same mold where he basically plays tight end quarterback
23:59
I'll take it. Yeah, I'll take it. Yeah, he's he's the kid
24:03
I mean, he was a sophomore last year and you could just see like he was the best player. He had the most talent of any field
24:08
So yeah, that'll that'll be exciting to see, I think. And they have ties to that family on their coaching staff with one of their support staff people
24:17
So anyway, looking pretty good in that recruitment. I think it's interesting that, you know, three other Big Ten programs have offered there
24:24
So that's a that's a good spot to be in for the Huskers, I think
24:27
A lot of talent coming out of the state of Montana must be exciting to see for you
24:31
And I never knew Montana was kind of a football, not hotbed, but a football kind of state
24:38
It's good to see. It's good to see Nebraska kind of, you know, traveling to all sorts of areas of the country
24:44
And you mentioned Omaha soured on Scott Frost after a while. And that certainly wasn't the only thing that soured on Scott Frost after a while
24:52
But I'm glad to see that we're kind of reconnecting in Omaha
24:56
I think it's important. And just to establish that as your base in your home state, you know, it says it sends
25:03
a message to the local high schools and things like that, that, you know, your players matter here
25:10
We want you here and we want to keep you home. So that's always good, too
25:14
And I think that the talent level is getting, you know, is really getting up to a high level
25:19
in Nebraska. Lots of really great players there. So at any rate, guys, I'll have to get going
25:24
We started a little bit late today, so kind of a shorter episode. But I think we covered all the stuff, you know, that's kind of been going on
25:30
We'll be back on Saturday morning for one of our chats and allow some more spring football
25:35
wrap up. Maybe we'll try to get it sent out a little bit earlier so you guys don't miss it so you
25:39
can see it on the schedule. But Saturday morning, come join us for another Husker Big Red chat
25:44
And as always, go Big Red. Go Big Red
