Nebraska Cornhuskers news: Massive Dylan Raiola visit, bad basketball day, more
The Nebraska Cornhuskers football coaching staff is pulling out all the stops in the recruitment of Dylan Raiola. The top quarterback and possibly the top prospect in the 2024 class is a free agent at the moment after initially being a commit to the Ohio State Buckeyes.
This weekend, the Huskers really pulled out all the stops by sending no less than nine coaches to talk to Dylan Raiola. It’s clear that the Nebraska Cornhuskers believe showering the quarterback with attention is the way to go.
That’s despite the fact that there are definitely people who think he’s leaning elsewhere. After all, Georgia and USC are hard after him as well.
It’s hard to know just how well things are going to go for the Nebraska Cornhuskers in their efforts to land the sought after QB. This whole thing could go on for quite a few more months.
JUST IN: At least nine members of the Nebraska coaching staff is in Chandler, Arizona, to visit 5-star 2024 quarterback Dylan Raiola.

- While the Nebraska football team is recruiting hard, Hoirberg’s heroes continued to struggle on Saturday. The Huskers lost in another blowout to Maryland and made it quite clear 2022-23 isn’t going to be the resurgent season some thought it might.
- Hoiberg’s squad isn’t the only Nebraska basketball team to get handed a loss on Saturday. The women’s team took on #10 Iowa and for various points in the contest, it appeared as though the Huskers might be able to upend the ranked opponent. However, in the end, they lost 80-76 after a furious fourth-quarter comeback fell short.
Nebraska WBB falls 80-76 to Iowa. Good 1Q, great 4Q, two poor Qs in between. Takes 40 minutes against Caitlin Clark. Iowa flirts with losing a lot. Doesn’t lose often tho.

- After the commitment of Sua Lefotu, the Huskers saw a boost in their recruiting rankings. After being in the ’60s before Matt Rhule hit town, his squad is now inside the Top 25. It’s not just rankings, though, it’s clear that Rhule has reshaped the roster in a big way.
