Huskers host 2024 Topeka ATH BJ Canady for a quick visit on Sunday

While it wasn't a long visit, and BJ Canady from Topeka (Kans.) didn't technically get to go inside the Nebraska facilities, but the talented 2024 athlete stopped by to check in on the Huskers.

Canady visited Nebraska earlier in March and picked up an offer from the Huskers.

“I was in Lincoln this weekend for a basketball tournament,” Canady said. “It wasn’t on campus but I got to swing by the football offices and got to talk with coach Bill Busch.”

Canady and coach Busch have been hitting it off. The talented athlete says that he talks to the Nebraska coach every two weeks or so already.

“Me and coach Busch have a really good relationship,” Canady said. “We talk to each other every other week.”

When Canady was on campus on Sunday the conversation wasn't really about football or Nebraska either. It was just a casual interaction between Canady, his father and coach Busch.

“We were just talking about how everything has been going like school and sports,” Canady said. “Then coach Busch and my dad started talking about softball.”

Canady wasn't able to make it inside the facility today in Lincoln because of an injury he sustained during the basketball tournament. He and his AAU teammate were supposed to visit Nebraska together.

“I wasn’t able to do much today. I rolled my ankle so coach came out to talk to us. I was supposed to meet Andrew Sprague here so we could do a visit together. I don’t know when I will be able to get back but hopefully, it’s soon!”

The summer is full of AAU basketball tournaments for Canady and at the moment he doesn't have any trips set up. He would like to get back to Nebraska and some other schools this summer though.

“I don’t have anything set up right now to any schools. I am planning on making it to some places this summer.”
