Things seem to be warming up for the Huskers on the recruiting front as well. Nebraska got a wide receiver commit and kept a hometown kid in the fold yesterday.

Or at least, it is good to be focusing on real football-related stuff. Frost has become very unlikable by other fan bases and it isn’t hard to see why. The only way out is to finally start winning games.
