Speaker 1: All right, Sean, is the Nebraska volleyball team going to
0:02
Speaker 1: run the table this year?
0:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, quite a week. They're going to play in an
0:06
Speaker 2: NFL football stadium, an NHL hockey venue, and a MLB
0:11
Speaker 2: baseball stadium over an 11-day period. I don't know how
0:16
Speaker 2: many other teams in collegiate sports could say that. None.
0:19
Speaker 2: It really is remarkable, just the exposure they're bringing to
0:24
Speaker 2: the sport and the rock stars that these women have become.
0:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're also going to play in an arena
0:31
Speaker 1: in Brookings, South Dakota. They're going to go from AT
0:34
Speaker 1: & T Stadium to an arena in Brookings, South Dakota
0:37
Speaker 1: against South Dakota State.
0:39
Speaker 2: It's the old Roy Williams stadium where if you got recruited,
0:44
Speaker 2: you'd play a game where you're from. I remember when
0:46
Speaker 2: Jeff Boshy was from North Dakota and Kansas basketball played
0:49
Speaker 2: up in North Dakota for Jeff Boshy way back in
0:53
Speaker 2: the day. This is kind of a Bergen-Riley tribute. to
0:57
Speaker 2: play the game there in Brookings. They probably could have
0:59
Speaker 2: moved it to the Sanford Arena.
1:01
Speaker 1: They should have. Or just played in the football stadium
1:05
Speaker 1: up there where the Jacks play. Yeah, that practice actually
1:08
Speaker 1: began with Mike Krzyzewski when he recruited a guy from
1:11
Speaker 1: Alaska and said, if you come to Duke, we'll come
1:13
Speaker 1: and play in the great Alaska shootout. But yeah, you
1:16
Speaker 1: come here, we promise, once during your career, we'll play
1:19
Speaker 1: in your home state. All right, to football. Is Carter
1:22
Speaker 1: Nelson ready to finally start playing like he's capable? Is
1:27
Speaker 1: he fully healthy, and is he a factor right now?
1:30
Speaker 2: Well, he scored a touchdown, is my understanding, in the
1:33
Speaker 2: scrimmage last week. I asked Marcus Satterfield that this week,
1:37
Speaker 2: and he said he's still got a ways to go.
1:40
Speaker 2: You've got to remember, he's had two off-season surgeries the
1:43
Speaker 2: last two years. His hip his freshman year, his shoulder
1:46
Speaker 2: his sophomore year. So what has that done? It took
1:49
Speaker 2: him out of the weight training for two full years
1:52
Speaker 2: in the winter and He was a late arrival because
1:55
Speaker 2: he played high school basketball and ran track. So he
1:59
Speaker 2: wasn't here for that early spring either to train and develop.
2:02
Speaker 2: He's never had... a winter where he's been able to
2:05
Speaker 2: lift and train and develop. And I do think that's
2:07
Speaker 2: a big part of his development that needs to happen
2:10
Speaker 2: because the athletic tools are there. There's no question. But
2:12
Speaker 2: he physically has a ways to go just, I think,
2:15
Speaker 2: to make that big jump that he needs to make
2:18
Speaker 2: to be able to play at this level. And I
2:19
Speaker 2: would imagine we're going to see him play and have
2:21
Speaker 2: a role. But that tight end room is unique because
2:24
Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of different guys that can
2:26
Speaker 2: do a lot of different things.
2:27
Speaker 1: So we're going to have a scrimmage tomorrow. How close
2:29
Speaker 1: will that be to game-type conditions?
2:31
Speaker 2: Well, it's not really a scrimmage. It's a mock game.
2:35
Speaker 2: They've already had their two scrimmages that you're allowed by rule.
2:38
Speaker 2: You're only allowed nine practices and full pads over your
2:42
Speaker 2: first 25 per the NCAA training camp rules. They've done
2:46
Speaker 2: their two scrimmages. This is just more of like your,
2:49
Speaker 2: you know, kind of just like a dress rehearsal to
2:53
Speaker 2: go through game day warm-ups, kind of go through just
2:56
Speaker 2: the logistics of getting ready to play on a Saturday.
2:59
Speaker 1: How many teams out there are not going to treat
3:01
Speaker 1: this like a scrimmage? If the NCAA really got serious
3:05
Speaker 1: about enforcing that, I think they'd have about 100 schools
3:09
Speaker 1: in line to get indicted. But hopefully it won't happen here.
3:13
Speaker 1: Let's talk about high school football last night. Braylon Warren
3:16
Speaker 1: looked really good, the quarterback for Westside. What kind of
3:20
Speaker 1: a prospect is he? He had 230 all-purpose yards.
3:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, Braylon's been committed to Missouri now for a few months,
3:27
Speaker 2: and He was an Elite 11 finalist, so there were
3:31
Speaker 2: 25 quarterbacks at that Elite 11, and he made the
3:34
Speaker 2: final 11. As we know, Trey Taylor was the MVP.
3:37
Speaker 2: In any other given year, Braylon Warren would be regarded
3:42
Speaker 2: as one of the best we've seen in Nebraska, but
3:45
Speaker 2: because now Trey Taylor's here, Trey Taylor's going to get
3:48
Speaker 2: a lot of the headlines, but Braylon Warren is without
3:50
Speaker 2: a doubt one of the better prospects we've seen come
3:53
Speaker 2: through this state in terms of his ranking. Obviously, Jett's
3:56
Speaker 2: model the year before was one of the... We're kind
3:58
Speaker 2: of on a run in this state with quarterbacks going
4:01
Speaker 2: back to really Zane Flores and just where that position
4:05
Speaker 2: has come and the development. Guys like Steve Warren, his father,
4:11
Speaker 2: who have put together really good training facilities and helped
4:15
Speaker 2: develop kids. Over the years, it's really paid off, and
4:19
Speaker 2: Braylon is no doubt a top-level quarterback. They don't play
4:22
Speaker 2: Millard South, by the way. It's a week nine, I think.
4:25
Speaker 2: We could have a huge game to end the regular
4:28
Speaker 2: season with Trey Taylor versus Braylon Warren, and then they
4:31
Speaker 2: could potentially meet up again somewhere in the playoffs, hopefully
4:34
Speaker 2: the finals. Yep.
4:35
Speaker 1: Taylor and Millard South. Millard South is the number 67
4:39
Speaker 1: ranked team in the country, according to Max Prepp's consensus,
4:42
Speaker 1: number one in Nebraska. How good are they by comparison
4:46
Speaker 1: to the other two Millard Souths that we've seen the
4:48
Speaker 1: last two years?
4:50
Speaker 2: I think they're just different. The previous Millard South teams, honestly,
4:54
Speaker 2: were a lot of kids that grew up playing together
4:56
Speaker 2: in the Junior Patriots, and they all went to Millard South.
4:59
Speaker 2: Then A few transfers came, but that core group, they
5:03
Speaker 2: had played together since, you know, fifth grade, sixth grade kids. And,
5:07
Speaker 2: you know, they all went to Miller South together. And
5:10
Speaker 2: then a few more people followed. This team has a
5:12
Speaker 2: lot more imports to it. I mean, you've got four
5:13
Speaker 2: Lincoln East kids. You've got Trey Taylor. You've got a
5:16
Speaker 2: Chicago receiver, a Texas receiver. I'm going to be there tonight,
5:20
Speaker 2: and I think a lot of people are interested. I
5:21
Speaker 2: did watch them play, though. against Bishop Gorman this summer,
5:25
Speaker 2: the powerhouse from Las Vegas. It was a controlled scrimmage
5:28
Speaker 2: inside the Cook Pavilion, and they hung with them, but
5:31
Speaker 2: they weren't at the level of Bishop Gorman. Bishop Gorman
5:34
Speaker 2: is a national top-five team in the country, and they
5:37
Speaker 2: made plays, they scored on them, and did a lot
5:39
Speaker 2: of things. So this will be, without a doubt, a team.
5:42
Speaker 2: I read a point spread for tonight's game somewhere, and
5:46
Speaker 2: it was about 28 points. Yeah, 27.5, according to Caesars.
5:50
Speaker 2: But I think it's a made-up Seattle. I don't think
5:53
Speaker 2: it's the real Caesars Palace.
5:54
Speaker 1: It's a made-up Seattle. They just hijacked the logo, but
5:57
Speaker 1: it looked good. Yeah, East could have used those guys
5:59
Speaker 1: last night. Chano over at Seacrest. Northeast pulls off the
6:02
Speaker 1: upset 20-13. All right, big guy, enjoy the football game tonight.
6:06
Speaker 1: We'll talk about Nebraska's mock game on Monday as we
6:10
Speaker 1: begin game week. Chano will be with us Monday through Friday,
6:13
Speaker 1: starting on Monday exclusively on 1110 KFB.
