Fullbacksympathy

I think we need a big and a wing and to be a little better than last season. Sam Hoiberg is an awfully good insurance plan at guard though. I really don't mind him being in the rotation at all. I wish he was a point guard offensively, because defensively he can guard the hell out of the perimter.

Very apt comparison, and also an NBA player.

Hausen is a straight up 3pt specialist. He’d be a great threat off the bench with enough size at 6’4”. He made 61 threes last year at 17min a game at 38%. KT made 76 threes at 26min a game at 37%. So to say Hausen is a gunner is an understatement. He’s gotta love the green light/system KT put on film (not nearly the bag but H is probably as good of a shooter at high volume, which is to say elite).

He’s about 25lbs lighter than Mast which makes a pretty big difference defensively in the post, but he could also stretch a 5 on the other end and likely score more than he gives up if he plays the 5. But he screams 4 to me. I’m almost positive Morgan is coming here to play the 5.

Serviceable ball handler and will dunk on people too. He’ll benefit massively from our system on offense.

Bonafide NBA talent. Transfer quality is unreal so far. Rollie 6’4” BW 6’7” GG 6’8” JG 6’7” Morgan/Mast/?? 6’10” Scary.

Oh damn he likes defense! Yes.

Last two seasons Worster has averaged 5+ assists to <2 TO. That’s a very big deal. If he can get his 3pt shot above 30% it sure would be nice. But he gets to the rim really well in P&R and is a deadly passer. Do-it-all player everywhere else. 5rbs a game from your PG adds up and helps the team a ton in offensive transition. Great get. Put 4 other shooters on the court with this kid and it really is pick your poison.

The first thought I had when I saw Griffiths play against us was he’s going to the league. Makes sense his accolades were that high. Enormous ceiling. Worster looks like a nice big body PG who can really pass well and is elite in P&R (not a shooter). Both would be phenomenal, but GG is the one I’m most excited about of all the possible ones we’re in on. Crazy skill and trigger for 6’8”. He would start at the 3 and be a problem.

I definitely believe he is. He might be a tad bit of a liability on defense but the mismatches he and mast would create offensively with their skill would be terrifying and we’d murder on the glass.

So pumped with this get. Great player who can dunk on you or stretch the court. He does a whole lot at 6’10” 250. Hopefully Mast can get healthy because we might not need another big between Mast/Morgan/Gary. Really, really good and diverse rotation there. Now get a 6’7” athletic wing who can knock down threes and a PG who is at least a serviceable backup and we’re scary.

Yep. He’s taller than Gary and an outstanding spot up shooter. He also plays way above the rim. He’d be an awesome get as a versatile 3-4.

Wowza.

Add Mast, keep Ulis and the recruiting job can already be considered elite in the offseason. We're gonna roll out a scary lineup next year.

perSON?!?!

I think Ulis will nab that PG spot. He's a solid player. We could use another one though. I'm guessing we'll be looking to fill the 3 with someone other than Gary who can really shoot it. Gary is a very good 4. Fidler would be ideal at the 3. So would Williams with Janowski at the 2, but our defense would suffer. Then one or two more bigs for a rotation at the 4-5. Kyle and Morgan would be great but I'm guessing we get one or the other.

Morgan is really good. He’s about the same player as Allick defensively but will give you twice as many points on the other end. Physical in the paint, great hops at 6’10”, 250lbs, skilled off the dribble in iso, and serviceable (36%) from 3 and ft (70%). He’s easily athletic enough to play the 4 next to Mast or the 5 next to Gary. This is an extremely smart priority for Fred. Morgan is one of the best transfers available period imo and he’ll get overlooked by a lot of programs.

Alabama is the future model. You’re gonna have to be a freak player to suit up for Fred as an underclassman moving forward, and if you are a bench player as a fr/so, you better develop and bust your ass because they’ll happily pay a better upperclassman transfer over you who already averaged 18ppg somewhere else. This is simply the coaches playing the same game the players have asked to play. For programs on the up, NIL is a quick conduit to roster overhaul. I don’t blame the kids or the coaches one bit. This is just the way it goes now. We’ll have a scary 7-8 man rotation next year. Probably the most talented team we’ve ever had coming off an NCAA tourney, great attendance, a fantastic coaching staff, and $$$. That’s my bet anyway.

The mid major as new juco is very real. There isn’t a huge adjustment to be made if you were the man on a mm team and move to p5. 1. You’ve already played a ton of p5 schools, probably held your own, and now have a chip on your shoulder/confidence. 2. You’ve developed way more skills on the court as you were getting tons of minutes at D1 speed as opposed to spot minutes at the P5. 3. There’s a lot of good fundamentals taught at the mm level because they have to in order to stay competitive. More team guys. So when Bama imports them, they have culture and humility when they arrive. JUCOs have easily suffered the most from transfers/NIL. Lastly, we can complain all we want about the way things are now, but this system benefits Nebraska so much it’s hard to fathom. I don’t want anything to change. We can get dudes here now.

This would rule.

Definitely a 2 guard. He can score at all 3 levels and is extremely crafty with small spaces. He actually reminds me of Keisei offensively. He does not have the quickness to play point. Defensively he’s not going to be able to stay with PGs, but I think he’ll do ok on the wing. He’s strong and is a willing rebounder. Also plays with a lot of fire and awareness so I’m guessing he’ll eat up the rotation info. But no. If we want another PG outside of Uhlis and maybe JL, we’ll definitely have to recruit one.

Fidler and Ewin would be crazy additions, and definitely possibilities.

^^^ this roster probably makes the tournament. If they add a couple killers in the portal watch tf out. I think we need a pitbull at SF and F. Janowski will probably give Brice good resting minutes day 1. Frager is handpicked for the 3 but he probably needs to be an understudy. As it stands though: Uhlis Lawrence Williams Gary Mast ^^^ that’s a salty bunch who can guard the perimeter with great speed at 1-4. A little small though. We really need a Bando SG/SF type who is an elite perimeter defender so Brice can guard the 3 on defense while punishing everyone at the 2 on offense. I’m not sure on Janowski’s defense but if he can guard the 2 he might start because of his offensive skills. JL is a really nice luxury off the bench with his energy.

I had heard top 15 at an actual NIL event but I don’t remember who gave me that rank nor am I in the know. Regardless, I think we’re very competitive. It’s a lot easier to impact a basketball team than a football team.

^^^ full game of Frager against another all state kid. Plenty to criticize but he also drops a casual 40 or whatever as a legitimate 3 level scorer, and a junior. The elevation on his jumper from every level is seriously elite, and that translates. I don’t think Rice was going to be good enough defensively to get on the court much next season. I think Frager will be eventually but not year one. Also remember he’s the new Yvan in terms of age so he’s very much an investment. All that said, I liked Rice’s upside too… I don’t think his challenges were physical.
