While Nebraska baseball legends milled on the Haymarket Park field Friday night, a crowd of multi-star football prospects did the same in the stands.

The evening was lower key for Raiola than last month, when he attended a men’s basketball game and threw the bones to the delight of a boisterous crowd. His presence nonetheless was well acknowledged.
“That was a five-star inning,” the Nebraska baseball account tweeted after a five-run NU opening frame.
Other heralded recruits were on hand as well during their unofficial visits. Among those still on the concourse in the middle innings were receiver Ryan Wingo from St. Louis, tight end Carter Nelson from Ainsworth and offensive lineman Grant Brix from Logan-Magnolia (Iowa).
