Told my friend the other day though if somehow NU beats Creighton while Cam is on the roster there could be some theatrics.
they did, that was a TD easily. huge Omaha bias, which you hate to see at any level. that Harsh kid is a stud, i wonder what his recruitment deal is.
Read he wasn’t super serious about football until recently. Think he got a walk-on offer to husk and some lower level offers.
he had 600 yards of total offense and 8 touchdowns in the semis hopefully we can get him to walk on, shocking that wyoming or CSU hasn't grabbed him. not sure about power 5 but he looks D1 to me at some position.
We know it wasn't football. Don't want to go all lech on you but I believe we have a winning record playing Nebraska.
And of course the parochial school that gets to pick and choose their players from a city of 1 million people and play in class B benefits from the shit call
Sucks for SB. We’ve been so ridiculously good the last couple years but the last jump continues to be just out of reach. Don’t think it continues next year.
Was at the semis. Dude is basically big enough to be a lineman for Roncalli but way more athletic. He was basically unstoppable all night. Was a damn fun game to be at though with the 8 man like score.
Can someone post plz https://theathletic.com/1410245/201...recruiting-zavier-betts-academic-improvement/
This Wahoo-Pierce game is fun. Good ol fashion hard nosed football. Listening to Damon literally never stop talking is not fun.
DB’s wife is doing as much homework for him and giving as many test answers to him as possible but he’s still going to wind up at IWCC 99.98787877% DirtBall GURANTEE.
Spoiler "BELLEVUE, Neb. — The top-rated college prospect out of Nebraska in the Class of 2020, Bellevue West wide receiver Zavier Betts, meets the top 2021 prospect, Omaha Westside cornerback Avante Dickerson, Tuesday night at Memorial Stadium with the Class A state championship at stake. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound Betts, committed to Nebraska since April, eagerly awaits the individual matchup against Dickerson, offered in recruiting by the likes of LSU and Ohio State. Betts’ goal? “To go in and dominate.” “Three or four plays in,” he said, “I want to make them aware they’re not going to stop me.” This display of confidence — boastfulness, perhaps — is met with a smile and a nod by Bellevue West coach Michael Huffman. A year ago, Betts wouldn’t have said that. He wouldn’t have bounced back quickly from dropping a touchdown, as occurred a few weeks ago during the Thunderbirds’ 12 consecutive wins in 2019. Before this season, Betts didn’t deliver pancake blocks that earned him the helmet stickers he’ll wear with pride in the title game. And until his transformation as a senior, Betts was on a path academically, despite his pledge to sign with the Huskers, to land in junior college next season. All of it, according to Huffman, fits together. “He’s far from a finished product,” the coach said, “but he’s come so far. He’s really changed. His whole demeanor is better.” On the field, said Betts, ranked by Rivals.com as the No. 52 senior prospect nationally and 105th in the 247Sports Composite, he’s advanced the most this year with his blocking and in developing a positive mentality. Away from football, there exists no question about his greatest area of growth. When Betts failed to follow through with an online summer course because of his lack of access to a computer, he and Huffman both believed Betts’ ability to qualify academically to enroll at Nebraska was lost. “I was going to give up and just say, ‘screw it,'” Betts said, “probably go to Iowa Western (Community College).” But Nebraska assistant director of player personnel Ryan Callaghan helped steer Betts toward a plan that would work. He’s got a heavy load and more to accomplish. “But he’s doing well,” Huffman said. “He’s on track.” Betts credits Bellevue West resource teacher Jennie Benning with playing a large role in his academic awakening. “Some teachers, they just let you do whatever,” Betts said. “I sit right next to her in class. She’s constantly on me to do work. Honestly, without her, I don’t think I’d have a chance of getting to Nebraska. I wouldn’t really have a driving force, pushing me day-to-day.” Benning is the wife of former Nebraska I-back Damon Benning, an assistant coach at Omaha North whose late father, Don Benning, was an influential figure for decades in Omaha Public Schools. “He hasn’t had anyone like that,” Huffman said of Jennie Benning. “I’m proud of him. And her.” Betts in July was selected as the first Nebraskan to attend The Opening finals. He performed well at the Frisco, Texas, event before suffering an ankle injury that still nags him. It hasn’t slowed Betts, though, from helping lead Bellevue West to a perfect record, kept intact by a 37-30 win over Millard West in Class A semifinals on Nov. 15. Betts caught nine passes for 104 yards and one touchdown in the victory, bringing his season totals to 60 receptions for 1,146 yards and 17 touchdowns. He caught 105 passes for 1,891 yards and 27 touchdowns in the two years prior. Before the win over Millard West, the Thunderbirds beat defending Class A champion Omaha Burke 48-0. Burke featured the No. 2-rated 2020 prospect in Nebraska, Notre Dame commit Xavier Watts. Double teams by Bellevue West held Watts without a catch, while Betts set the Class A career record for touchdown catches in the quarterfinal-round win. His physical skills prompted Nebraska to offer a scholarship before Betts’ junior season. The Huskers liked him even more after Betts stood out at a Friday Night Lights camp in Lincoln last summer. He sought out the best defenders in attendance to challenge him after coaches told Betts he didn’t need to work out. A lack of size at receiver deepened the desire of coach Scott Frost and offensive coordinator Troy Walters to get Betts. None of the Huskers’ scholarship wideouts stand taller than 6-foot-1. “That’s one of the main things they talk to me about,” Betts said. And as his grades improved this fall, Betts said, “whenever I go down there, I see them getting happier and happier.” The opportunity is significant, said Walters, who coaches receivers, for a big-bodied recruit to make an impact in 2020. “Those bigger receivers, they’re your weapons down in the red zone,” he said. “We’re going to recruit our tails off and bring in guys and let them know the competition is open. You’re going to come in and you’re going to have a chance to compete. “We’re looking for playmakers.” It appears Betts is exactly that, as he plans to show in his final high school contest. Dickerson, the touted Westside defensive back, also holds a Nebraska offer. He ranks as the No. 76 prospect nationally by the 247Sports Composite in the junior class. If they’re destined to be college teammates, it matters none on Tuesday. (Photo: Mitch Sherman / The Athletic)"]

Is there some Russian hacker website where we can watch Nebrasketball without paying $30 for whatever this flohoops is?
I don't know anything about either of them. I just clicked on their profiles and saw Kent St and Liberty. If Hodge is a good get that's good news.
Might be for the best. He’ll get two full seasons, rather than wasting a partial season this year with minimal wins to show
