  1. Hmm very interested, that lefty stroke is smooth, plus Icelandic basketball sounds like it's burgeoning, they have a big man that some are thinking could go pro next year. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/20149591/how-tryggvi-hlinason-went-7-foot-farmer-iceland-rare-nba-prospect would be a nice late get and as others have said is good insurance policy in case Gill can't bounce back
  2. I think in terms of performance apperal and shoes Nike still wins. But where Adidas is taking over is in that luxury athletic wear which works for Nebraska because a lot of kids will see NU in their off the field gear, hopefully the on the field gear catches up, because I still think Adidas shoes look awful at times, I will buy plenty of adiddas appearal but I haven't bought adidas shoes in at least 10 years
  3. I think you offer, he has height you can't teach, appears to have a skill set with room to develop and it would buy you some good press and if dosnt develop you can always say hey might be time to look somewhere else
  4. It's the area in the back of the arena, next to the players Locker room
  5. Shout out to #21 and his already excellent YMCA pickup game..im going to assume that #20 and #21 are probably the guard and center for the football team, or maybe #20 is a big fullback tight end
  6. Believe it was nymeria, as it's her and snows dog ghost as the only surviving dogs left (extreme ? Face)
  7. I think he could make himself into a version of Shaun Livingston, that block shows he is more than athletic enough. My only hope is that he wasn't given a whole bunch of min because they already had a decent idea of what he is and whether or not they would bring him on too their G-League team
  8. It'd be nice to see if Gstate keeps him on their G-League team, he may have better offers back home, but I think he could play himself into something on that roster
  9. Shavon Shields on the Heat summer league roster!
  10. i think its possible, he's getting a lot of workouts, and teams like that he plays a role, and isnt a project to develop, he can contribute real NBA minutes, and he has vast experience playing at the highest levels against pro competition.
  11. He gives me a tristan thompson vibes, which i we could use, and if he is now 6'10 240 even better.
  12. I think it would be a lot similar to college baseball, the best of the crop will take their chances and likely succeed. The rest of with appropriate counsel will go to college and build their skills. They're may still be some that go overseas but I think results of shown it's a mixed bag, and the competition isn't as great, none of the players going overseas arnt going to the top euro leagues. If the NBA really wants to capatalize they would finish their goal and get every team to lock up their own minor league team. That way when some of the high school kids go pro and arnt ready they have a chance to hone their skills. i think the college game would take a jump if this was to happen, we could get back to building programs
  13. I think Taylor and McVeigh are the right guys to be just outside of the rotation pieces, both are veteran leaders who will do what's best for the team and both have skill sets designed to be applied at anytime.
  14. Scott is as good as gone, last projection i saw was 10th RD or 9th RD. I think fingers crossed we can hold on too Meyers. Maybe Scott will want to have a better bounce back year and garner higher draft consideration, idk how much higher he can go, as a 1st Basemen, he could platoon in the OF he has a cannon, but his instincts need work.
  15. Roskam is going to be a good player for us, hopefully we can hold on to Meyers and Schreiber for next year but im doubtful
  16. Hagge not being on the all freshmen team is a joke, and i was initially upset that myers didnt get player of the year, but than i saw they gave it to Adams, who absolutely crushed the ball this season...in a northern baseball conference, so suffice to say he is more than deserving.
  17. The Brogdon archtype player in the second round is going to make a lot of sense to teams that have been in the lotto for the last 6 years (Kings, TWolves, Sixers, Lakers, Magic) you cant keep stocking up on developmental players and sell your fan base that your going to start competing, nor can you keep going the draft and stash. I know this year will still have some draft and stash type players, but i think more teams will be looking for that role player type that can actually contribute in the next three years.
  18. They could afford, the Owner just dosnt want to pony up, to be great. Who knows, Bell seems good, Cole hasn't been dominate so maybe he won't command has much as I think.
  19. It's sad really, I mean for goodness sakes 2013 he's MVP,'14 he's in the running and than just bam drops off. Polanco hasn't really progressed as well and Marte is well...he may be 30 million headache, Cole probly gone in 2 yrs...god this is depressing
  20. ugh...we should of traded cutch in the offesason, his value is gone, and if im being real honest we should of went all in in one of those playoff years, and traded away one of these pitching prospects thats still suck in Triple AAA, and maybe polanco.
  21. Tai career is the DVD you play to every incoming freshman, not to tuck n turn tail, not to quit when times are hard but to work like crazy on your craft, and build a legacy at a university not just a nice career. When I think of Husker Basketball (I'm 28) i think of Belcher, Lue, Maric, Anderson, Shields, Uber, and now Webster. Hopefully the players we have now we'll strive to be among them
  22. externally, i think the combination of success and strive for more as a program that our fan base desires and wants vs the reality that as a program our history indicates we should expect otherwise. Now i dont think for a second that we as fans should alter our expectations, we should hold all major sports programs to a higher standard, because for all intense and purposes we our the only major show in town. We have no pro teams to distract us when were having a bad season. In addition, the nature of casual fans of Husker Bball vs the hardcore ones can be disheartening, the hardcore understand the struggles, know the players, cheer what we view as great success in recruiting and development and while can be harsh critics, are patient as we know what the uphill climb the program faces vs the casual fans who appear after the football season ends, but have some of the loudest voices, crazy expectations and booster backing. Internally, we are a football school that wants to develop into a basketball/football school, we have all the nice toys, and things to show to recruits, but just pure speculation i wonder if Miles wants more public commitment from SE, i dont think he'll ever get it, but i wonder if he feels slightly slighted that SE shows his face and offers more public support for Riley and leaves Tim in the wind on some things, and than will make a comment after its mostly too late to help things.
