Mike Schaefer (Nebraska 247 Sports): Part 1 (hour sponsored by Hemp Boss) Apr 13, 2023

Show notes

-We are 9 days away from the Spring Game, and the transfer portal opens up this Saturday for a 15-day stretch…how busy of a timeframe is it going to be for Nebraska? -Nebraska currently has 99 players, but the scholarship limit is set at 85. Not just for Nebraska, but all teams should probably go lower than their limit to make room for transfer portal players. -The fear within most teams, with the portal window going from 4/15 through 4/30, is that good players being approached by better teams will just pick up and leave, since the Spring Game will have occurred. -Also, BILL’S THRILLS (sponsored by MidPlains Advisors): Cool Parenting Tips!
