Grand Island quarterback Ryker Fyfe is a great player. Should be fun to watch in the Shrine Bowl this Saturday at 1:30. He passed for over 1900 yards and 20 touchdowns this past season. He will be a walk-on at Nebraska. I hope they give him a chance in two or three years.

This writer thinks that Andy Janovich from Gretna is the best high school football player in Nebraska to enter college this year. He is freakishly strong and tough. I hope they put him in the linebacker spot because the kid can play.

Nebraska baseball picked up a new recruit for 2013. He is Park Hill, Missouri left-handed picture Dalton Moats. Dalton is only 16 but just came off a no-hitter. Moats had offers from Kansas State and Houston. Baylor, Missouri, and Coastal Carolina. I love the name. It sounds like a baseball name.

Nebraska basketball has three more Chicago kids coming in to visit. They are from an AAU team called the Southwest Illinois Jets 16U team. The three are 2014 prospects and their names are Peyton Allen, Darreon Reddick, and Darius Austin. Allen is the big name. He already has offers from Iowa, Oklahoma St., and Bradley. He has received heavy interest from Michigan, Boston College, Kansas State, Xavier, and Penn State. He is a 6'5" guard who has made a name for himself as a shooter.

Reddick is 6'3" and is being called a combo guard. His present coach thinks he will play ppoint guard. Austin is a 6-6 small forward who is picking up interest.

Nebraska baseball is done. This team is almost identical in the RPI ratings as the team last year. However the team seems to be on the upswing right now.

NU has a lot of players returning next year. Gone is Cory Burleson at catcher, ourfielder Kale Kaiser, and pitcher Dexter Spitsnogle.

At catcher, NU has two juco players coming in, Tanner Lubach and Corey Stringer. Love the names.
Papillion's star infielder Jake Placzek is coming to NU. New ourfielders will be Justin Black from Billings, Montana and Matt Jones from Gretna.

NU only has one starting pitcher coming in and he is a juco player by the name of Matt Strahm.
The relief pitchers coming in the fall include jucos Christian Deleon and Michael Hoppes. High schooler Colton Howell will also join the Huskers.

Phil Steele has the Huskers winning the Legends Division this fall. Hope he is right.

Darian Barrientos-Jackson thinks Deverell Biggs is going to talk Akoy Akau into playing basketball at Nebraska.
