Thomas Brown, a 2012 Husker football signee, is yet to qualify academically. He is the last recruit yet to report for football. Brown is a linebacker and did not pass his ACT test score. He is taking summer school classes to get qualified.
Nebraska secured junior college pitcher Josh Roder to fill a void as a relief pitcher for the Husker baseball team. With Travis Huber leaving the Huskers, this is a big pickup. Roeder had a 2.06 ERA for Louisburg College of North Carolina last year.
Husker baseball also had a huge pickup when they got Jakson Reetz as a 2014 commit. Reetz is ranked No. 21 nationally and No. 1 in Nebraska. Let's hope he doesn't go to the majors first. Reetz was pursued by Stanford, Arkansas, and Vanderbilt. Reetz could pitch, play catcher, ot play the outfield. His coach at Norris High School says he has high character and should fit nicely with Darin Erstad's style of play.
NU basketball has offered point guard Ikenna Iroegbu for the 2013 class. NU has also offered R.J. Curington from the same school. Oak Hill (Va.) High School went 44-0 last year. Iroegbu is 6' 2" and has present offers from Missouri, Oklahoma St., USC, Washington St., and Colorado.
Lately Creighton has taken three players in their 2013 class that NU had offered. It will be interesting to see who we can sign when it is all done.
NU has also offered a forward from Ohio. He is Vitto Brown and he is 6'8" and 225 lbs. Brown's offers include K-State, Wisconsin, Iowa State, and Minnesota. He wants to play in the Big 10 or Big 12. He averaged 20 points and 12 rebounds as a junior last year for his Bowling Green team.
John Bishop joins KOZN and "Unsportmanlike Conduct" and will co-host with Mile'L Severe. He takes over for Matt Schick who is going to ESPNU. Schick had the job like for two weeks when Kevin Kugler left. Bishop is very candid and it should be a great show.
Also Gary Sharp is coming back to Nebraska to serve as KOZN's sports director and will join Jason Peter for the morning show. Should be interesting. Sharp is also one to speak his mind.
D.J. Foster is a 6'3" 295 lb. offensive lineman from Lincoln Southeast. He will be in the 2014 class. He was just named Rivals Underclassman Challenge offensive player MVP. His brother Trey is a walkon at NU. This would be a great catch if NU can snag him.
Former Temple commit Josh Brown has decommited and NU is after him. He is a point guard out of Newark, N. J. He presently ranks 142 on the Rivals Top 150 list. He would be a 2013 recruit. Brown has offers from a number of top schools in the nation including Indiana and Illinois.
Rivals Mike Farrell has this to say about Johnny Stanton at the Elite 11 quarterback camp, NU's 2013
recruit at quarterback. "Stanton is a big, physical kid with a strong enough arm and he can deliver it in the intermediate passing game. His footwork is iffy and his long throw is erratic, but he also made some really nice throws. He is one of the more intriguing prospects out there."
Nick Fuller is 6'7" and can shoot the ball. He plays for a Wisconsin AAU team. Minnesota's Tubby Smith is after Fuller but so is Nebraska. Looks like Fuller will visit both Minnesota and Nebraska in Minnesota.
