What's new!

California star quarterback Johnny Stanton committed to Nebraska. His top other offers included Oregon, Wisconsin, and Stanford. Last year he threw for 2,439 yards and 13 touchdowns and ran for 1,528 yards and 25 touchdowns. Stanton was among 25 quarterbacks selected to the Elite 11 camp. Stanton is 6'2" and 220 lbs!!

Taylor Matinez has been working with Los Angeles-area quarterback coach Steve Calhoun. Calhoun says Martinez's passing percentage will go up. "Because there'll be more balance at the top of the throw. He's going to be balanced. When you have balance , it translates into accuracy".

Kevin Kugler is leaving KOZN 1620 am in Omaha to be a play-by-play announcer for the Big Ten Network. Great promotion for Kugler but will miss him in the weekday afternoons, especially during football season. Kugler will continue to do the "Big Red Wrap-up" during the football season. He also will do NFL games, the College World Series, NCAA basketball, and men's basketball at the Summer Olympics.

Matt Schick, who years ago was at NTV, will replace Kugler on The Zone (KOZN).

NU basketball has interest in guard Joseph Chealey from Florida. He will be a 2013 prospect. Recently Chealey has received interest from colleges all over the nation. He prides himself in playing great defense.

The NU basketball team is also interested in two rising point guards from Texas. They are 2014 Crosby, Texas Brandon Etienne and 2015 Garland, Texas combo guard Peter Shortino.

Nebraska Class B football should be interesting this fall. Crete is rebuilding but looks like the best of the bunch. McCook could make it from the west. Elkhorn South may be a factor before it is over. Defending champion Elkhorn has one starter back.

In C-1 Norfolk Catholic, who has won 38 out of the last 39 games, has won the state title the past two years. They return QB Jordan Bellar. Other challengers will be Pierce, Wahoo, and Adams Central.

C-2 looks like Aquinas will repeat as champions.

D-1 looks to Elgin/Pope John as the favorite. Howells moves up to D-1 this year along with Bloomfield. Add Sargent D-2's champion last year and this should be a fight to the end.

Gilter is favored in D-2.

Blue Ribbon Yearbook predicts NU to finish third in the Big Ten Legends division behind Michigan and Michigan St. They pick Oklahoma to beat out West Virginia in the Big 12.

All Big-10 is Rex Burkhead at running back and Brett Maher at punter and kicker. Mohammed Seisay is predicted to be the newcomer of the year.

It sad how it has developed that Penn St. did cover up the Jerry Sandusky crimes.

Congrats to John Hurley for qualifying for the PGA event at the John Deere Classic. It will be fun to follow him.
