A survivor of the Parkland, Florida, mass shooting — and conservative gun rights advocate — says Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas assured him the Second Amendment "won't be touched." Sixteen-year-old Kyle Kashuv tweeted the jurist's vow beneath a picture of himself with Thomas on Thursday night. An honor discussing #2A and the Constitution with Justice Clarence Thomas.

Nebraska received a commit Monday evening from Tulsa (Oklahoma) Booker T. Washington running back Thomas Grayson. Three takes on the decision: >> NU wants speed and Grayson's got it. He can run the 100 meters in 10.7 seconds — and perhaps faster. That's what Nebraska wants in a skill player — receiver or running back.

Nebraska landed Grayson — who missed his sophomore season because of a broken ankle — before Oklahoma and Oklahoma State offered him. That's smart on NU's part, because Grayson, once he puts his second year on tape, will attract those top offers. Nebraska landed Grayson as a high two-star/low three-star, and he may end up better than that. >>Always good to win a recruiting battle in Oklahoma. The Huskers nabbing a skill player inside … [Read more...] about Recruiting: Three takes on the commitment of running back Thomas Grayson
