Husker hoops receive commitment for 2023 class

The Nebraska men’s basketball team filled one of their two open scholarship spots for the 2023-24 season.

The Nebraska men’s basketball team filled one of their two open scholarship spots for the 2023-24 season. Keystone Athletic Academy forward Matar Diop announced his commitment to the class of 2023 on Sunday afternoon.

The native from Senegal chose the Cornhuskers over Arizona State, Seton Hall, and Ole Miss, among others. He didn’t start playing organized basketball until he was 13 years old.

Reports state that Diop could not make a recruiting decision until this week when he was academically cleared. Nebraska now has one scholarship available for the 2023 class.

Husker recruit breaks record in state championship game

A big night for a member of the 2023 recruiting class.

A member of the Nebraska Cornhuskers 2023 recruiting class broke a Nebraska High School record in the state championship game on Tuesday night. Tight End Benjamin Brahmer of Pierce High School had a dominant performance during Pierce’s 42-14 victory over Aurora in the Class C-1 state championship. The Husker recruit had 11 receptions for 249 yards and three touchdowns.
His 249 receiving yards are also a Class C-1 playoff record. Brahmer finishes his high school career with 3,509 receiving yards and 45 touchdowns. The three-star prospect was the first commitment of the 2023 class, having announced back in April of 2021.
Brahmer is currently ranked as the fifth-best prospect in the state of Nebraska. Four of the top five prospects in the state for 2023 are currently committed to the Cornhuskers. Joining No. 5 Brahmer are No. 1 WR Malachi Coleman, No. 3 Edge Maverick Noonan, No. 4 OT Gunnar Gottula. The No. 2 recruit in the state of Nebraska is QB Zane Flores, who is committed to Oklahoma State.
Social media reactions to Brahmer’s state championship performance can be found below.

Recruiting class of 2023 starting to take shape

Where do the Huskers stack up against the rest of the Big Ten?

Recruiting is an inexact science, and the current state of the Nebraska 2023 recruiting class is a perfect example of that. The Huskers currently have 15 commits for this year’s class, and the three primary recruiting services have very different opinions about how they view these commitments.

The rankings now are as follows.

Rivals: 33rd

On3: 29th

247Sports: 32th

Regarding Big Ten recruiting class rankings, the Huskers are positioned right near the middle of the conference.

Rivals: 6th out of 14

On3: 5th out of 14

247Sports: 6th out of 14

And Nebraska is not done. Interim Head Coach Mickey Joseph and staff continue to remain aggressive on the recruiting trail, and once the hire of a new head coach is made, I expect to see things intensify. The signing day for the class of 2023 will take place on Wednesday, February 1st, 2023.

Look below at the Nebraska recruiting class of 2023, as well as the rankings of each commit through the major recruiting services.
