Husker247 Podcast: Spring ball begins

Spring ball is back and it was the first day Matt Rhule got to bring his players onto the field and see what he actually has for the 2023 season. 

That makes it a great time for Brian Christopherson and Mike Schaefer to bust out the microphones and chat about the start of the spring season, how Rhule handled the offseason and the media and much, much more. 

Discussion starts with Rhule’s transparency of changes within the program. The two debate what that might mean regarding things going forward and touch on some of the players who are suspended, who left the team and who is changing position. 

One of the most interesting players who could change spots is Heinrich Haarberg, but he’s staying at quarterback for now. Schaefer passes along thoughts on Haarberg’s media appearance and what it might mean moving forward for the redshirt sophomore. 

There’s also some offensive line talk as the guys try to figure out who’s where in the never-ending game of musical chairs up front. Tuesday’s contestant is Ethan Piper, an interior lineman looking for a home, that might change the complexion of the line.

From there the two get into a conversation about Gabe Ervin, spring hype and fall production, as the running back room does not have a shortage of interesting players, who all bring something a little different to the table at the spot.

After a quick time out Christopherson runs through the latest in Nebraska recruiting with several visitors on campus including Willis McGahee IV and Kaelin Massey, 

Then the two highlight the big recruiting weekend and some of the names both are looking forward to hearing more about following their first trips to Lincoln.
