Shawn Eichorst's Toupee

This is easy. You recruit HS kids so that you have a better chance to land them on their 2nd-5th stop.

People said we need to be more athletic like A&M. Well we just got a little closer. 

Between the shooting ability and possibly the defensive issues, guy most likely to get the side eye from Brice this season

Wouldn't think so until we dot our i's and grapheme our c's

I suppose we know this for sure if Mast is actually here, able to play.   But it's doubtful he'll play.  The knee is a big problem and wasn't fixed by the December procedure.   Props to him for persisting and finishing the season.  I doubt we make the dance if he would have ended it mid-season.   I think the plan is for surgery, and the type that has him out 10-12 months.   He has a great doc, through Fred's connections.   But barring a surprise, you won't see him on court next fall. 

Hahaha it's funny because in any other food I agree completely. But for some reason in Runzas it works for me.

The connection to note for Eli Rice to Penn St is that Rice was heavily recruited by VCU who at the time was coached by now Penn St coach Mike Rhodes.

After Friedrichson, Sallis, and now Kyle, I'm starting to think Steve Forbes' recruiting strategy is just "see who Fred offers, then offer them a big bag." 

Hopefully, but these kinds of decisions are made every day at portal time.   How far to go on NIL with each player/agent, figuring out what's real, drawing a line knowing that's effectively letting a guy go.   I'm probably stating the obvious, but this is so much about money now, rather than a better fit at a new program, etc.   And on the program end, there comes a point where the price is higher than the player is good, and you have to keep some dry powder.   
 
The good news is in the play for pay era, our new AD is totally committed to that, and will overtly support 1890 until the system changes and allows direct institutional participation or changes to an employee model.   Fred is very pleased with Dannen so far.   Fred has almost double what he had to work with on the pay players budget from a year ago.  We're all in on the current system.
 
We're really trying to get a visit from Payne, but the NIL demands are very, very high.  We're getting a visit from Essigian, assuming he doesn't commit to Indiana on his visit there.   Kyle supposed to come next weekend but concerned about Wake giving him a huge number, like they did Sallis.  

Didn't turn him down directly, but indirectly, we declined to dig deep and come close to what Xavier was willing to pay.  

Nebraska lands former Rutgers transfer Gavin Griffiths from the transfer portal. The 4 star 6'8" sharpshooter was a big commit for the Scarlet Knights but struggled during his freshman year until the end of the season.  Despite the size look for Griffiths to slot at either the 2 or 3.
 
Griffiths will have 3 years of eligibility left and is the 3rd known commitment for 2024-25.  Nebraska currently has 4 scholarships remaining.

Holy crap I hope this guy really likes Brice because dang he checks a lot of boxes in what we want to run

Shall we get back on track?

Happy to announce that despite various openings and opportunities out there that Husker Hoops Central will remain at Nebraska for its 20th season.

QUICK! SOMEBODY TAKE "HHCMATT"!

Late Monday morning I plan to let you know if I think Fidler is under or over rated 🙏

Thanks Toupee. Doing a good work. Time to be on the other end, have other teams have to look up to NU! GBR!

See, just showed me I can improve myself with some introspection.
