Nebraska Cornhuskers News: Matt Rhule and Deion Sanders comparisons, more
- Matt Rhule and Deion Sanders keep being compared recruiting wise.
- Tony White was fired up.
- One top Nebraska Cornhuskers recruit keeps impressing.
It's no secret at this point that Nebraska Cornhuskers Football coach Matt Rhule and Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders do things differently. However, it was made clear yet again this week when the transfer portal opened.
While the Huskers did lose two guys to the portal right away, Nebraska isn't expected to lose any more. Meanwhile, Colorado could lose more than a dozen. Some of those guys they just added to the roster this winter.
Colorado has been very active in the portal since Deion Sanders arrived. Nebraska has added here and there, but the Cornhuskers have been recruiting high school kids far more frequently.
USA Today's Brent Schrotenboer recently wrote a piece about how the two coaches, who were hired the same year, hence why they keep getting tied together, wrote a piece about how different the two men are.
Sanders famously said that he doesn't like making in-home visits. Rhule is all about them. The piece overrall is yet another interesting look at the contrasting philosophies. So far neither has worked in a tangible way.
Nebraska was 5-7 last year, including a loss to Colorado. The Buffs were 4-8 despite that win over the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Both coaches are looking for much better second seasons. And they'll face off against one another again in Lincoln this fall.

Cortez Mills might be the top Nebraska Cornhuskers target this spring. The wide receiver continued to show why earlier this week when he impressed the hell out of recruiting analysts during a 7v7 showcase in Dallas.

Former Nebraska Cornhuskers Volleyball star and current assitant coach Jordan Larson has signed with League One Volleyball in Omaha. She'll be playing for that team while continuing to coach the Huskers in the upcoming season.
Tony White was fired up at the beginning of practice this morning. Lots of intensity from the Nebraska DC. He was not accepting what he saw as any level of a relaxed attitude from the D-linemen and linebackers. pic.twitter.com/KmqzmGMxML

As the Nebraska Football team reaches the doldrums stage of spring practice, defensive coordinator Tony White doesn't look like he's losing his age. In fact, he looks as fired up as ever.
