Locked On Nebraska - Daily Podcast on the Nebraska Cornhuskers Locked On Podcast Network

Connor and Mitch open a new week with this: Is Matt Rhule ahead of schedule at Nebraska? It's a simple question with a complex answer and a layered backstory. We discuss. Also, Nebraska baseball went on the road and won a series at Minnesota. But the Huskers still haven't done everything to put themselves in the best position to win the Big Ten -- and possibly to secure an NCAA regional at home. It's there for them over the next three weeks to take. We end this episode with a discussion about the importance of the Huskers' youth football camp event on Saturday in Omaha.

Mike Schaefer of Nebraska247 joins Connor and Mitch on Friday to break down Nebraska's efforts to construct its 2025 recruiting class. Who can be a catalyst for the Huskers this spring to help jump start the class ahead of an all-important visit period in June? We also talk about the uniqueness of the Nebraska quarterback dynamic that involves Heinrich Haarberg, Dylan Raiola and Danny Kaelin. And Schaefer gives his observation on the Nebraska running backs group.

Hello, Jackson Brockett. The Nebraska sophomore cooked up a no-no on Wednesday night at Haymarket Park, the such first nine-inning individual performance for the Huskers in seven decades. How might this impact the postseason possibilities of Will Bolt's team here at the outset of May? Mitch and Connor discuss. We also dive into Mitch's projection of the preseason football roster and look back at Matt Rhule's comments from last week about tampering in college football.

May is here, and Connor and Mitch are back to talk about the spring breakout performers at Nebraska. They chose a pair of true freshmen -- one on each side of the ball -- who came to Lincoln from the Miami area. The Huskers may have struck gold in Florida. Also, Creighton baseball beat Nebraska again in downtown Omaha on Tuesday night. The Huskers remain positioned to play in the NCAA postseason, according to the metrics, but is this a regional-caliber squad?

The football season at Nebraska opens in four months. Tuesday marks the end of the transfer-portal entry period for undergraduates. So we're asking this question: Should the Huskers take a quarterback from the portal in the weeks ahead? Matt Rhule has some thoughts on the subject. So do Connor and Mitch, who also address the portal departure of linebacker Chief Borders. We're also talking about the Nebraska defense after its lackluster finish to the spring season. Is any of that a concern?

The spring game at Nebraska has come and gone. And the Huskers have a star in the making at quarterback, if Saturday was to serve as an indication. Freshman QB Dylan Raiola showed well in his debut performance in front of a crowd at Memorial Stadium. Mitch and Connor assess that and give their takes on the newly stocked cupboard of playmakers on the offensive side. Also, Nebraska failed to escape the spring season free of serious injuries in this final scrimmage.
