There is much to keep an eye on as winter conditioning slides into spring practice and then to the Red -White scrimmage in April. A new crop of freshmen commits didn’t create much buzz among Husker fans, except to push the anxiety meter up after a dreadful 3-9 season. The group lacked numbers and stars and seemed to be a step down from previous recruiting classes.
This was followed by a class of portal transfers that got the attention of fans and media alike. The transfers included two quarterbacks, Casey Thompson, a former starter from Texas, and Chubba Purdy, from Florida State.
