The "Big Red Weekend" was this weekend. NU football had around 20 non-commtted and committed recruits visit the facilities. They received rave reviews.

Nathan Gerry, an athlete from Sioux Falls, SD, commited to Nebraska. He had offers from Iowa, Michigan St., and Minnesota.

Gabriel Miller, a long snapper, committed to Nebraska. Odd for Nebraska to offer a scholarship to a long snapper. He is rated number three at that position in the country. It is an important position and we need a good one. He was the nmer eleven commit for the 2013 class.

Nebraska also made an offer to California QB Johnny Stanton. He is a 6'2" duel threat quarterback. Oregon, Oregon St, California, and Washington have made offers along with many others. If Oregon likes him he should fit nicely into our office also.

Last week the No. 33 rated quarterback visited Nebraska. He is Damion Hobbs from Cedar Hill Texas. Hobbs rated the visit a 10. Hobbs plans to visit Missouri also.

In NU basketball, the Dallas Triumph AAU team made a visit last Wednesday. Actually four players visited on their way to the Creighton BB camp. Steven Spieth is a 2013 shooting guard. He is rated 24th in Texas He is 6'6". Tim Miles recruited him at Colorado St.

Jake Flaggert is going to be rated in the Top 15 in Texas at the next ratings to be released by TexasHoops. Flaggert is also 6"6" with a 30 inch vertical.

Also 2013 Max Tillinghast and 2015 Mason Riggins. Their coach predict Riggins may be one of the best players in the country for his age.

They left UNL feeling very impressed with Nebraska basketball!

2014 point guard Nick Norton visited the NU basketball facilities last Wednesday also. He plays for the KC Run GMC AAU program. He is a 2013 5'11" point guard is from Missouri.

Doc Sadler was named the Director of Basketball Operations by Kansas. Great job! Good for you Doc!

NU basketball guard Corey Hilliard was dismissed from the team after he was charged with stealing a cell phone.
