Husker247: A Nebraska athletics podcast

It’s been a busy, busy week for Nebraska football as spring ball is completely underway and the Huskers are set to have a monster recruiting weekend. Who better to get you prepared for it than Mike Schaefer and Brian Christopherson? The Husker247 duo first start with a little March Madness talk and the obligatory banter as BC reveals how many times he’s watched Miracle. But conversation shifts to Nebraska’s first open portion of a spring practice and what the two saw when out there. Which position groups, players or even assistant coaches stood out during the open portion? What initial thoughts do they have on Nebraska’s newcomers.  From there they discuss what they’ve heard from the coaches and players that have been available to discuss things, including how the players have started to parrot their coaches and talk about the standards they have for themselves, how someone like Quinton Newsome can use the spring to become better, while getting used to different coaching and what they thought of the comments from both coordinators. After a quick break it became recruiting time. Up first they ran through some of the big names that are expected to be on campus this weekend like Brandon Baker, Williams Nwaneri and Ryan Wingo.  Then a conversation occurred about how the Huskers also have some top talent from the surrounding states and inside Nebraska visiting as well, and how the Huskers have to have success in those areas just as much as it wants to pull players from California, Texas or elsewhere. Finally it was time for the Dylan Raiola conversation as the duo tried to determine what success looks like as it relates to a recruitment that hasn’t begun to slow down.
