Nebraska Cornhuskers News: Baseball gets 7th 2024 commit, walkons leave, more
The Nebraska Cornhuskers baseball team continues to be on a crazy recruiting roll for the 2024 class just ahead of the season starting.
While Will Bolt and company are getting ready for the first series of the 2023 season, the Nebraska Cornhuskers baseball team is already gearing up for the next recruiting class. Bolt has been on quite a roll in that regard, netting his seventh commit for the class in the last couple of weeks.
That roll continued on Thursday night when Adam Kayko, a corner infielder and pitcher with a 9/10 rating from Perfect Game, announced his latest commitment to the Nebraska baseball team.
The lefthanded hitter out of Waukee, IA looks like he best projects as a hitter considering he boasts an average exit velocity in the 96th percentile of all high school prospects. This bit of good news can only add to the good feeling surrounding a team that is excited to prove that the 2021 season was a fluke and that Bolt has the Huskers going in the right direction.
I’m excited to announce my commitment to the University of Nebraska to continue my academic and baseball career. I want to thank my family, coaches, teammates, and friends who have helped and supported me. Go Huskers!! pic.twitter.com/25WfBl5R9z

- While the Huskers are still considered a long shot to contend for the Big Ten title, it should surprise no one who is the consensus #1 in college baseball this season. The LSU Tigers are expected to be the kings of the hill as the season kicks off this weekend.

- Over in the college football world, Wisconsin lost an assistant coach. Gino Guidugli, who was a quarterback for the Cincinnati Bearcats during his playing days, is going to be coaching quarterbacks at Notre Dame. It’s kind of nice to see a Nebraska Cornhuskers rival actually get some bad news the way Wisconsin did with this move.
