Boden Kapke’s Big Nebraska Leap

Boden Kapke, a towering six-foot-eleven big man averaging over 10 points and nearly 6 rebounds last season, is making his mark in Lincoln — and he’s bringing his A-game to Nebraska basketball. A former Team USA 3x3 standout who’s been training with the team since June, Kapke’s fit is already clicking, thanks to the coaching staff’s focus on shooting and a system that suits his style. He’s especially excited about the head coach’s shooting pedigree and has already seen early shooting gains with student managers. For Kapke, this is also a homecoming — he grew up watching Big Ten hoops and wants to be a defensive anchor while creating his own shot around the rim. Beyond hoops, his athletic versatility spans football, lacrosse, baseball, soccer, and even downhill skiing (until his dad redirected him). As Minnesota’s Mr. Basketball, he’s no stranger to big goals. The locker room vibe? Electric — even an NFL draft pick reached out to help him settle in. Kapke’s hunger to win and grow? Perfectly aligned with Nebraska’s direction. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Nebraska Baseball’s Big Offseason Shift

Nebraska baseball capped a stellar season with 43 wins and 23 conference victories, earning their first regional hosting spot since 2008—though they fell short of advancing. As the offseason begins, the roster is reshaping with 17 new players joining from high school and junior college, fueling hopes for continued growth. Meanwhile, several key players are departing via eligibility, MLB draft, or the transfer portal—a natural evolution after a breakout year. With the portal open until June 30, more moves could be on the horizon, as coaches actively recruit transfers and blend fresh talent with returning stars to build a stronger future.

Nebraska Softball’s Big Transition

Nebraska softball’s historic run to the Women’s College World Series—marked by 52 wins and an 86% winning percentage—comes with a massive transition: 12 seniors are leaving, forcing head coach Rhonda Revelle to rebuild. With longtime pitching coach Lori Sippel retiring and new talent like Jordy Frahm arriving, the Huskers are targeting both underclassmen and the open transfer portal to fill critical gaps. The portal, now open for two weeks, offers a crucial window to land experienced players, especially as key seniors like Kacie Hoffmann and Hannah Coor exit, while standout freshman Alexis Jensen returns. Pitcher Kylee Magee and catcher Olivia DiNardo are also in the portal, signaling a new era as Nebraska looks to maintain its momentum with fresh faces and returning talent.

Nebraska Returns to Chicago for Butler Clash

Nebraska basketball returns to Chicago for a high-stakes neutral-site showdown against Butler on November 22nd, marking head coach Fred Hoiberg’s first game back in the Windy City since his Bulls tenure. With fan fervor at an all-time high following their historic 2025-26 season, the Huskers are poised to bring a loud, traveling contingent to Credit Union 1 Arena.

The Huskers hold a 3-1 all-time edge in this rivalry, last meeting in a 2019 NIT thriller. This will be their first regular-season clash since 1986.
