Things start with Michael Bruntz, Brian Christopherson and Mike Schaefer discussing the changes in the roster, how the Huskers are going to attempt to utilize the spring, which positions might see change and notable movement with different players.  Then Schaefer asks a question of the group — what position group looks better now than it did during 2023 and which one still concerns you? After those answers things turn to recruiting where Bruntz and Schaefer walk through the recent unofficial visits and why Matt Rhule’s locations are so important the last week of January.
