Who else wouldn’t want to drive 11,000 miles all over the country to interview high school recruits?
Well Tom Lemming, a national recruiting analyst and Co-host of the Lemming Report for CBS Sports, tweeted last night that of all the recruits he’s talking to that Nebraska has been brought up the most when compared to years past.
This is obviously good momentum for the program and they are apparently capitalizing on Matt Rhule’s college football success as well as the new football facilities and NIL opportunities.
The current 2024 recruiting class has three commits. I think there will be a big of a lull until Dylan Raiola makes a bit of a decision. If he chooses Nebraska, which I do not expect, then the flood gates might open.
If he doesn’t, then the staff will move on and I suspect the class will start to fill up at a steady rate.

You can tell Matt Rhule relished being a nobody.
Forget about being a mere bench warmer, there was a time at Penn State when just having a bench to warm would have been a huge promotion.
“I was the lowliest of walk-ons,” said Rhule, Nebraska’s new coach, during a conversation in his his office in the Osborne Athletic Complex. “I had a shoulder injury. … They wouldn’t clear me. I was the equipment manager.”
“STICK TO SPORTS!” Nah.
The poop emoji: a legal history – The Verge
