Nebraska basketball lands commitment from highly ranked center Leo Curtis
Nebraska basketball landed a commitment from four-star class of 2025 center Friðrik Leó Curtis.
Curtis visited the Huskers last Sunday and has been a highly targeted center throughout the recruiting process. According to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, he was the 13th overall center in the 2025 class and the top player in his class from the state of Massachusetts. He was originally committed to Arizona State.
He joins Quinten Rhymes as the other player in Nebraska's 2025 recruiting class.
Curtis recorded 15.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in 2023-24 while playing for D1 Iceland. He also played for the Icelandic national team during the U20 European Championship last summer, averaging 5.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks per game.
This addition continues what has been a busy couple of weeks for Nebraska. They have added six transfers from the transfer portal, as they have been able to remake their roster.
Fred Hoiberg and his coaching staff have tended to favor the transfer portal during their time at Nebraska. Getting another player in the 2025 class and allowing him to develop is a positive.

Notre Dame star is named to the 2025 Walter Camp Player of the Year watch list
Add another preseason accolade to the list for Notre Dame star running back Jeremiyah Love. The Walter Camp preseason first-team All-American has been named to the 2025 Walter Camp player of the year Watch List. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. The 6-foot, 206-pound Fighting Irish junior ran for 1,125 yards and 17 touchdowns in 2024, and he caught 28 passes for 237 yards and two receiving scores. Included in those numbers is his school record-tying 98-yard touchdown run on the third play of the first-round College Football Playoff game against Indiana. Big things are expected this fall, in what could be his final season in South Bend. Love and the Irish begin their quest to return to the CFP when they open at Miami on August 31.

Men's and Women's NCAA Tournament expansion on hold for now but discussions will continue
Sanity has prevailed in men's and women's college least for now. Expansion of the NCAA Tournament has been a hot topic of discussion this offseason for both the men's and women's format. However, NCAA senior vice president Dan Gavitt gave an update on the future of expansion on Monday, as he announced that it is off the table for 2025-26. However, discussions will continue for 2026-27 and beyond, so changes could still be coming, just not for this upcoming season. The tournament was great at 64 teams, and 68 has been fun too. But will it be worth it to include even more bubble teams? Of course, money is a mover and shaker, so it seems we will get a bigger tournament sooner than later.
