Parker Gabriel and Chris Basnett break down the five players who have verbally committed to Nebraska football this month, talk about another — 2024 quarterback Dylan Raiola — who has captured the imagination of Husker fans, and break down the latest news from Husker men’s hoops, which includes Dalano Banton standing out at the G-League combine and a date for this year’s NU/Creighton matchup in Lincoln. 







The Lincoln Southeast pipeline just keeps producing for Nebraska. 

The Huskers added a second member to their 2023 recruiting class Saturday when LSE lineman Gunnar Gottula verbally committed to the program. 

Gottula, who picked up an offer earlier this month after working out for NU, was on campus this weekend on an unofficial visit and came away convinced he wanted to stay home to play college football. 

“It feels good,” Gottula said. “I just knew after my visit that this is where I want to be.”

Lincoln Southeast coach Ryan Gottula, of course, is Gunnar’s dad, which made the day even a little different than when his other players have picked their college destinations. 

“I’m just really proud of him personally and how he handled the whole process,” Ryan Gottula said. “He did a really good job with it and I’m really proud of him.” 

The 6-foot-6, 270-pound offensive lineman previously picked up scholarship offers from Kansas State, Iowa State, and more recently, Iowa. Making the rounds to various camps and workouts opened doors of opportunity for Gottula, but it also showed him, ultimately, why he wanted to stay in Lincoln. 

“Not just for Gunnar but for a lot of kids, it was in a lot of cases a pretty demanding month for them,” Ryan Gottula said. “With the trips and the testing, it seems like you’re doing the same test at a different place all the time. I just have a lot of respect for the kids and how they handled that month.
