Matt Rhule claims 'every team in the country' is trying to convince one of Nebraska's top players to transfer​

The Huskers are fighting to keep one of their top players from transferring.​

Nebraska football has yet to have a current player enter the transfer portal during the active window, but that could soon change after the Huskers wrapped up their spring practice on Saturday with a scrimmage inside Memorial Stadium. Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule said earlier in April that some players on his roster were contacted by other teams gauging their interest in entering the transfer portal ahead of the spring window. On Saturday, he revealed tight end Thomas Fidone as one of the top Nebraska players with outside interest.

"Every team in the country is trying to get him to leave and go there," Rhule said. "The kid is a Nebraska Cornhusker through and through."

Fidone rated as a four-star prospect and ranked as the No. 1 tight end in the 2021 recruiting class. After suffering a pair of ACL injuries in his first two seasons at Nebraska, the 6-foot-6, 250-pound played in all 12 games with eight starts as a sophomore in 2023.

Fidone led the Huskers with four touchdown catches and finished second with 25 receptions for 260 yards last season.

"I think the biggest thing with Thomas — at the end of the season I said to Thomas, I was like, 'What a great fall we had,' meaning him, us, we had. He's like, 'What do you mean?' What I love about Thomas Fidone, man, he is never happy. He is never happy. It's because he wants to be great. He wants to be the best tight end in the world. He's always trying to be better. My point was, coming off two ACLs, to get through a spring, a fall and a season healthy, that's what he needed. Because now instead of rehabbing this winter, he's lifting. He's in the 260 range at 4.5 with 34-inch arms. He's a physical freak. And he's loyal. ... So, I love that guy and I love his approach. It's so good for our players to see a guy who's so obsessed with being great and never happy. You know what I mean? But at the same time, to your point, he just had to have a true offseason. He just had to have weight lifting where he's not rehabbing and now I think you're starting to see what he can do."

Just sayin': If true, isn't that tampering?

FORMER OHIO STATE GUARD BOWEN HARDMAN COMMITS TO AKRON​

Login to view embedded media
A Cincinnati native and Princeton High School graduate, Hardman was a three-star recruit in Ohio State’s top-10 ranked 2022 class. He never carved out much of a role in his two years with the Buckeyes, appearing in 25 total games across both seasons. In 2023-24, Hardman averaged a career-best 4.2 minutes, 1.8 points and 0.4 rebounds per game in 18 appearances.

With two years of eligibility remaining, Hardman joins an Akron squad that went 24-11 overall, won the MAC Tournament and lost to No. 3-seeded Creighton in the NCAA Tournament. Like the Buckeyes, the Zips have rebuilt their roster through the portal this offseason, with Hardman one of five transfers to join the program in March and April.

for those who missed it

Yeah Kirk Cousins the most overpaid mediocre NFL QB in history. 1-4 in the playoffs in 12 years. ~$300 million in NFL salary to-date.

From playing in the Rose Bowl to robbing banks and kidnapping charges. If I remember right, he also threatened to leave the team over supposed racism from the coaches.

Dude is a mental mess

Does the judicial system move this slow in other industrialized nations?

A more than fair point, that! :)

Finally had the cataract removed from the right eye (first detachment). I had the doc correct for distance, so now I can see perfectly and won't have to pay to have sunglasses changed to prescription lenses. I thought I'd freak a little bit knowing that I'd be half awake while this was going on, but it was smooth.

I had to push it back a couple of months after the left eye detached in February. That was a scary week. Left eye was blind because of the gas bubble, and the right eye was maybe 15% because of the blurriness and cloudiness of the cataract. I was ready to hire a 24 hour aid for a week (not cheap), but after the first day, I found that I could navigate the apartment, feed myself and take the dog for short walks. Since I got in so quick this time (detachment was Friday afternoon and surgery was Monday morning), damage was minimal and was given the lighter bubble that was half gone by the end of the week with clear vision over the top of what was left. Scheduled to get this cataract out in November. After which, this should all be over.

Were there any spin pass attempts?

He showed out in the Spring game, after tkl#4, I had to look up who the heck #32 was. Another talent that is worthy of a scholly instead of pursuing a transfer

This is brilliant.

He's the logo of the NBA:



Its logo was designed in 1969 by Alan Siegel, the founder of the branding consultancy firm Siegel+Gale. The recognizable silhouette is modeled after Jerry West, a legendary Los Angeles Lakers player and Hall-of-Famer.

Well what makes the SEC capable of having rules, but not the NCAA? Can't somebody just sue the SEC for whatever they sued the NCAA for and strip them of power as well?

I think the SEC programs agreed to the rules, and voted on the Commissioner to enforce them. At least thats what I’m led to believe. Those can feel free to correct me if I’m incorrect

NHL Trivia: Who are these guys and what were they called?

I voted "other" because I did a deep dive a while back on old ball parks and comparing dimensions through the years.
then compared some ballplayers in their home parks vs other parks of their era.

Babe Ruth in some of today's park sizes would have been impossible to calculate without spray charts.
Ted Williams paying in Tiger Stadium of that era instead of Fenway would have been over 600 HR (would have been up around 775 had he not lost time due to Military).

Joe DiMaggio would have over 500 HR if he played in Sportsman's Park of his era instead of Yankee Stadium of that time.

Pete Rose should not even be listed on the poll.

Denver, first team to 10 national championships. Davis won that game for the Pios.
