Steven M. Sipple, Parker Gabriel and Chris Basnett fire the podcast up for the first time in 2022 and talk through the latest in Nebraska football recruiting and staff developments. Then a long hoops discussion, featuring the women’s basketball team’s dominant win over No. 8 Michigan, what to like about Amy Williams’ team and where the men’s team is at coming off a close loss to Ohio State and into a brutal stretch. 







A key figure in Nebraska’s search for a transfer quarterback visited Lincoln on Wednesday.

Former Texas starting quarterback Casey Thompson was in town with his dad, Charles, sources indicated to the Journal Star, further connecting the signal-caller and the Huskers as a potential match. Because the NCAA is currently in a recruiting dead period, Thompson would not have been able to visit with coaches or be in the facility.

However, it is not uncommon for players who are considering a school to visit the campus on their own. Many did it during the year-plus dead period that the NCAA put in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including 2021 transfers like running back Markese Stepp.

Thompson (6-foot-1 and 200 pounds) threw for 2,113 yards, 24 touchdowns and nine interceptions for the Longhorns in 2021. He completed 63.2% of his passes, added 157 rushing yards and four touchdowns and appeared in every game of UT’s 5-7 campaign. Thompson took over the starting duties from Hudson Card in September and was the primary starter going forward. 

The Athletic reported on Wednesday evening that Thompson has a top group of Nebraska, Oklahoma — his dad, Charles played there, though the Sooners landed a commitment from UCF transfer Dillon Gabriel on the same day that freshman star Caleb Williams announced his intention to transfer — Auburn, Missouri and Indiana.
