Husker247 Podcast: Roster churn and recruiting talk

The Husker247 trio got together on Friday morning to knock out a quick 30-minute podcast touching on the news of the back half of the week and more. The show starts with the news of Alante Brown leaving the team and Hunter Anthony leaving the program. Brian Christopherson explains why Brown’s departure is notable, but also suggests people don’t write off the wide receiver entirely. Michael Bruntz discusses Anthony’s role at Nebraska in 2022 and why it looked to be more of the same in 2023 and why the former Oklahoma State Cowboy might be in the market for something else. Both Husker247 beat writers believe it’s simply the start of the attrition that has to come for the Huskers as Nebraska looks to get down to the correct numbers. From there conversation shifts to recruiting where the big March visit weekend is discussed and names are mentioned of top players expected to be on campus. The Huskers are planning a strong weekend which could include having two of the Top 5 players in the country on the same visit. Recruiting remains the topic as the trio discussed Carter Nelson’s offer and why Nebraska continues to see a surge of schools come in and make offers that have otherwise rarely ever shown interest in players from the state. Finally things finish up with the red-hot Husker basketball team, a key game against Maryland at home and the outlook for getting to a postseason tournament, which suddenly looks like a possibility.
