Title: Nilpotent blocks of quasisimple groups for odd primes

Abstract: We investigate the nilpotent blocks of positive defect of 
the quasisimple groups for odd primes. In particular, it is shown that 
every nilpotent block of a quasisimple group has abelian defect groups. 
A conjecture of Puig concerning the recognition of nilpotent blocks is also shown for these groups.
