Friday Flakes: Most Recent Nebraska Commit Goes from Zero to Four Stars

What a ride for Eteva Mauga-Clements. He played football this past season in the small town of Pleasant Hill, CA at a junior college.

Zero stars.

Then Nebraska recruits him and gets a commit from the young man. He had contact from the likes of LSU, but nothing. After the commitment to Nebraska the following happens. It is perfect for a Hallmark movie!

Rivals recruiting service gives him 4 stars.

24/7 recruiting service gives him 3 stars.

Unbelievable. It would only be more believable if it was during the Christmas season!

Former Husker Correll Buckhalter Could Be In Trouble

Legally,

It looks like the former Nebraska running back is one of around ten former NFL players who allegedly attempted, somewhat successfully, to defraud the NFL’s health program to the tune of $3.4 million.

From the ESPN article:

According to the indictments, the players made claims for expensive pieces of medical equipment -- such as hyperbaric oxygen chambers, cryotherapy machines, ultrasound machines and electromagnetic therapy devices -- that weren’t purchased or received. The typical claim was for $40,000 to $50,000.

Several of the former players are accused of recruiting other players to join the scheme and would make the claims in return for kickbacks of up to $10,000.

The indictment alleges they fabricated letters from health care providers about using the medical equipment, fabricated prescriptions that were purportedly signed by health care providers and created fake invoices from medical equipment companies in an effort to prove the equipment was purchased.

Hoiberg's Huskers know the 'brutal' tests that await
The candy stripe pants have not exactly been an intimidation to those in the Husker program before.

It's actually a true statement that Nebraska basketball beat Indiana at Assembly Hall by 15 just 11 months ago. But a great deal has happened since then, and Fred Hoiberg takes a nearly completely flipped Husker roster into an arena he calls "one of the tops in the country" six days after his team was behind in a game by a score of ... gulp ... 37-7.

Nebraska Recruiting: Pieces Still on the Board to Bolster 2020 Class | Hail Varsity
We are less than one week from the early signing period opening on Dec. 18. Pretty soon all the speculation of who signs where and when they will sign can be put to rest. Then we will be left to dissect the key question of what we think about the Huskers’ haul for 2020. Now of course, the late signing period will bring some drama too. There will still be a few spots left to fill in the class and February signees will fill them.

Huskers in great spot for several Florida recruits late
On The Recruiting Hour on Wednesday, 247Sports reporter Andrew Ivins, who covers the Hurricanes and much of the recruiting action in the state of Florida dropped by to talk about several of the most interesting targets (27:32 mark) the Huskers are after.

On Thursday several of Nebraska coaches will be stopping by for in-school or in-home visits of these key targets.

Hutmacher thankful for the push to his Signing Day moment
Nash Hutmacher offered a quick apology that was not necessary. He would have called a few minutes earlier, but his buddy had a flat tire and the big man was there to help.

While there is no straight-line connection here, you'd probably also bet on a guy who takes his future college coaches pheasant hunting on recruiting visits as also being handy in automobile fix-it jams.

Hutmacher is also something else these days – thankful.

Four-star corner Dickerson releases top trio
It's never too early to look ahead to future recruiting classes, and the Huskers know they will have a battle on their hands in 2021 to keep Omaha Westside cornerback Avante Dickerson at home.

Nebraska bound Logan Smothers can run, pass and is tough as hell
With what Nebraska quarterback commit Logan Smothers went through in November, nobody would’ve blamed him for not participating in this week's Alabama-Mississippi All-Star game.

But there he was on Tuesday trying to put four cracked ribs, a hip pointer and oh yeah - a collapsed lung - suffered in a Nov. 15 playoff game behind him.

Nebraska Huskers basketball: 2022 Millard North forward Jasen Green is on the recruiting fast track
Millard North’s first workouts of the 2019-20 season felt unlike any others the program, and most any other school in the state, had ever seen.

One day, a 911 call came in the heroic dispatcher would never forget. When a woman in distress called the Emergency line to order a pizza, it took Tim Teneyck a few seconds to realize that pizza was the last thing the caller needed in what would transpire to be a life-threatening situation…

St. Francis House in Brooklyn: Birthplace of Grassroots Films is a shelter for homeless yout
Greenpoint, also known as Little Poland, was one of the most innovative and productive areas in New York City back in the day. Having to its credit the construction of the USS Monitor, The New Republic (the largest wooden ship ever built), and more than 50 oil refineries, it was even home to the ubiquitous Eberhard Faber pencil company.

It was a neighborhood that one never would have imagined the sun proverbially setting upon.

But empires crumble, and in the late 1960s, amid a stark decline in industry, social unrest, and the emergence of devastating crime waves, Greenpoint, in tandem with all of Brooklyn, slowly descended into hell.
