  Speaker 1: ten kfab Husker and Cider. Sean Callahan, Good morning.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Sean, Good morning Scott.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: All Right, we had part of the lawsuit that Scott
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Frost sued the University of Nebraska. Part of it was
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: dismissed this week, but I'm seeing a future court date
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: has not been set on the other part. Can you
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: kind of dissect what's happening here with the ongoing Scott
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Frost drama?
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, if you haven't followed it too closely,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, he was essentially I mean, he's suing the
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: school for you know, he was taxed income but he
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: was actually never paid and that's the long and short
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: of it. So he paid one point something million dollars
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: in additional taxes for income that he didn't receive. So yeah,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: it's just one of those lawyer things and we'll see
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: where it goes from here. But yeah, it's kind of
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: one of those things you just want to go away
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: at this point. Obviously with the Scott Frost there are
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: now long behind us.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's just a weird legal drama on that ongoing
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: front here.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Speaking of legal drama, Uh, some news here on that
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: running back. You got in some trouble in Florida and
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: this is as we brought in a back from Penn State.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: What's going on with the backfield?
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Sean, Yeah, that's really been the biggest July story we've
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: seen other than Trey Taylor this week being officially bumped
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: up to a five star by Rivals, and he's the
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: highest rank recruit Nebraska has had since two thousand and five.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: But you know, with Mike Mikai Nelson, you know, he
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: had the situation in Key West when the players had
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a break where he was charged
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: with a felony battery assault and you know, at that point,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: you know, the core date was set that the judge
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: is not now going to file charges, though the victim
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: does not want to file charges either, so you know,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: that court case kind of took a turn. But while
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: all this has happened, Nebraska was in pursuit of another
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: running back and Tyke Hayes, former Penn State running back,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: has been at Iowa Western for about two months and
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: he is going to end up at Nebraska now. He
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: played one year at Penn State this past year where
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: he was behind Nick Singleton and k Tron Allen to
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: all American NFL running backs. So he played a little bit,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: but by no means had a body at work. But
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: you know, when you look at you know, Ohio State
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: offered this guy to high school. He was going to
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: be the starting running back. Scott Stromeyer, the head coach
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: of Iowa Western, told this last night. He was by
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: far the best back they had on the roster and
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: he was going to have a huge year for them.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: So he'll he'll join this Nebraska team with or without
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Makay Nelson involve We still don't know where it sits
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: with him. You know, he's been internally suspended. They did
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: not announce that, but he's not been working out with
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the team. He's been on campus going to classes, but
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: he's not been involved in organized team activities. So we'll
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: see kind of where all this goes. Uh, you know,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: once once we hear more from Matt Ruhle on the
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Nelson situation.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Did the legal drama involving one running back lead to
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: us saying who else is available? Let's grab this guy
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: out of Iowa Western Penn State via Iowa Western to
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Nebraska or was that completely separate in your estimation.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I think it had everything to do with it. I
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: mean the phone call to Scott stro Meyer to Iowa
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Western happened essentially right at the day or two after
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: all this went down. And Dave Tollison, who lives in Omaha,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: actually is a coach on the staff, and he actually
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: he coached at Iowa Western with with stro Meyer, so
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: there's there's a connection there. But then you know, even
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Nebraska's running backs coach E. J. Bartel, he worked under
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: James Franklin at Penn State, so he's got a connection
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: when James Franklin was involved in recruit this kid. So
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: there are some connections to Hayes. But I do there's
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: no question. I mean, the room was already a question
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: in thin with losing him a Johnson and this, you know,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: the situation with Micai and Nelson, who's he's been suspended
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: last year for a game. You know, there's I think
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: some red flags, like, you know, we can't really roll
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the dice here. We've got to make sure we have
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: another capable running back. And here we've got a big
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: ten type of back right in our own backyard. Let's
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: let's make a move on him.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: In thirty seconds or lest Sewan. What got Trey Taylor
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: bumped up to a five star here in this offseason.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Well, he was MVP of the Elite eleven and went
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: out to the opening. I mean, these are those are
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: the two most prestigious events for high school recruits that
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: you can go to. And I was at the Elite
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: eleven in California at the end of May, and he
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: was incredible. Was voted the strongest arm at the camp
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: by all the coaches and people working in the event.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Just had about as big of a summer as you
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: could have and went from being forty fiftieth ranked player
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: in the country now all the way up to number fourteen.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Looking forward to having him in here. Sean Callahan, always
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: a pleasure having you here. Thank you very much for
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the time. Have a great weekend.
• 5:12
