    Roby (is Good)

    Lantz wasn't nearly as big as Roby. He was a 6-3ish guard. Stewart could really fill it up from outside (again too bad no 3-point line), he could take it to the rim and had great hops. Actually, another 6-3 type player that Roby makes me think about is Greg Downing. Downing had similiar skills as I recall, but couldn't hold a candle to Isaiah's shot blocking & rim protecting. All that said, because of all the things Isaiah can do and because of his unrealized potential, he's a one-of-a-kind type of player in NU history, IMHO. And "IF" he would become a dead-3 shooter, be a better defender away from the rim, & improve his handles, he could be the best ever. Big "IFs" though. Most important, Isaiah needs to have a really good Junior season to keep the narrative alive.

  2. Put me in the Jordy camp. The best is yet to come from Jordy.

    Let me know if you have any questions about the chart. This is a chart that shows Roby's production from game 1 to his last game which is 62 total.

  6. Good points, but I wonder if Gallegos' graduating had more of an impact than realized. Even though Gallegos did not put up the numbers his senior year like he did his junior year, he still was a legitimate scoring threat. Coaches had to game plan for him. Also, Gallegos was a 3pt threat which opened the floor for Petteway and Shields. Also consider that Pitchford, another 3pt threat went from .410 to .289 from behind the arc. Teams were just not as afraid of Nebraska's 3pt shooting in 2014-2015. That clogged the offense. Leslee Smith's injury also made an impact. There was no offense and limited defense in the post with Hammond (true frosh, needed a year in the weight room), Rivers (undersized), and Moses (knees). For 2018-2019, Gill's loss is somewhat mitigated as he seemed to wear down as the season concluded. The offense improved when Gill was shooting well. Evan Taylor was solid off the bench and it will be interesting to see who can hold down that role. However, like in 2014-2015, it really comes down to whether 3pt shooting stays the same/improves instead of regressing.

  7. I will repeat this again and often, before relegated players to the bench or begin dispersing playing time, let's see how the development process works this off-season. I am betting on a surprise or two.

    Are we positive? He’s been in college three years and has not graduated yet. Plus, Norfolk was reporting he was a sit one play one.

    Yeah. Thing about Watson, as I showed yesterday, is that he had basically the same number of attempts soph and jr year but, because he shot the ball so much better from 3-point range as a soph, his scoring was a lot better. Same attempts, basically. So, Glynn wouldn't need to steal shot attempts from anyone in order to up his production. All he needs to do is connect at the rate he connected at when he was a sophomore. I think we'll see a more confident Glynn Watson doing just that this coming season. And if Glynn RETURNS to 40% from three, and Isaiah STAYS at 40% from three, and Copeland REACHES 40% from three, who do you try to stop when you're defending them?

    I think that causes the same problems that OKC went through this year. You would have three people that need the ball in their hands to be effect. I don’t think basketball wise it’s a good fit. I really think his best fit is Boston. Don’t know if that would ever happen. Also staying in the East gives you a much easier road to the finals.

  15. And Gallegos was an EXCELLENT perimeter defender his senior year. He neutralized most teams with quick guards.

    It's on Bartovik's site After you build up stats it's harder to move the moving average. The 5 game average illustrates the bounces towards the end of the season you're referring to though with increased minutes you'd naturally expect his raw stats to increase.

    Is Roby at some point to be the focal point of the offense? With us bringing back almost everyone it seems pretty unlikely this season. KenPom has a stat called %Shot. It's a quick way to look at how often a guy shoots when he's on the floor. ---------------------- Percentage of shots taken (%Shots): This is the percentage of a team’s shots taken, while the player is on the court. This is a pretty good proxy for %Poss, and significantly easier to calculate. It is PlayerFGA / (%Min * TeamFGA). ------------------------ You can look at the 2016-17 team and see that Jacobson played more minutes than Jordy but Jordy shot a lot more when he was on the court. That should line up with almost everyone's memory. Last year Roby's %shot number was 15.2% and his freshman year it was 13.5%...two very low numbers. While guys like James Palmer and Keita Bates-Diop don't start out taking a high percentage of their teams' shots they typically don't start out taking so few shots even in limited time. Some guys simply aren't as aggressive/don't need to dominate the ball. One person to look at given the time to mature and the opportunity was Tai Webster. His %Shots by year Fr: 11.7 So: 15.5 Jr: 19.6 Sr: 26.7 What's the record for double-doubles in a season for us? This year I'd love to see him break it for us as he still work on his game and the year after I'd love for him to turn into Keita Bates-Diop.

    Isaiah's shooting is coming around. His jumper from year 1 to year 2 was totally transformed and I think the results speak for themselves. Season Averages SEASON TEAM MIN FGM-FGA FG% 3PM-3PA 3P% FTM-FTA FT% REB AST BLK STL PF TO PTS 2017-18 NEB 24.0 3.0-5.3 .565 0.5-1.3 .405 2.2-3.1 .724 6.3 1.7 2.0 0.6 3.2 1.5 8.7 2016-17 NEB 15.2 1.2-3.1 .394 0.1-0.7 .200 0.5-0.7 .762 2.9 0.7 0.8 0.5 1.9 1.2 3.1 Season Totals SEASON TEAM MIN FGM-FGA FG% 3PM-3PA 3P% FTM-FTA FT% REB AST BLK STL PF TO PTS 2017-18 NEB 769 95-168 .565 17-42 .405 71-98 .724 200 53 63 20 103 48 278 2016-17 NEB 457 37-94 .394 4-20 .200 16-21 .762 88 22 25 16 58 36 94 If he continues to improve that shot, look out. He has a surprising ability to shoot off the dribble; I'll try to find the video I saw of that. Also, he can dribble fast in a straight line, so, in the open floor, he's pretty effective. It's dribbling on the drive and changing direction that pose challenges for him. He'll lose the handle trying to get around someone, for instance. But that's fixable.

  19. If Jordy had Smith's knowledge of the game and all of its intricacies, he'd be an all conference type of player.

    I'm on vacation with no access to a computer right now, but this is very easy. The most time-consuming part would be getting the game by game box score data.

    While it seems like a good thing at first glance, I am not sure it is after seeing how important a down league perception was last year.

  24. His twitter timeline is a 50-50 hit rate. He said Gates was coming 5 days before it was announced. He also said erstad was getting fired. I’m closer to Sioux Falls than Lincoln so I hope he’s accurate

  27. hmm. you'd think we'd be hearing more about us trying to get this kid. -he's visited unl several times unofficially -we just hired his lead recruiter from NW -our starting point guard will be gone after this year -we have an open spot -we are also in the B1G just like NW. if we are passing hopefully it's because there is a character issue and not because miles likes to leave an open scholarship.

  28. They need to find a way to play with the same mentality they did when they were picked 13th. They still have a lot of people to prove wrong, or at least that's the way they need to think.

  29. Of course our best seasons are going to be when we're voted at the bottom of the conference. We're almost always voted there. Given that, the odds of our better finishes coming when we aren't voted at the bottom of the conference are pretty slim, as we're rarely ever put there.

  30. That's not true either. They did accomplish something. I know the end result wasn't what we'd have liked, but they did do things that don't happen around here very often. Don't discount that. It shouldn't be taken for granted.

    18-19 depth

    This is where a team like Nebraska can compete with the talent regularly accumulated at schools such as Michigan State, Michigan, Indiana and Maryland — age. Here's where we'll be on opening night 2018: Copeland 23 Palmer 22 Jordy 22 Watson 21 (turns 22 during the final week of the regular season) Roby 20 (turns 21 in early February) Allen 20 Nana 20 Thor 20 Add a seasoned center, and that's a veteran, talented rotation. Translation: There's some hair on them there legs.

    We still owe Iowa a "Beat Down" after the one they laid on us a couple of years ago to end the season. Plus, there is the simple fact it's Iowa.
