  1. Tough call. Due to the free agency type of atmosphere in college basketball, any player could choose to leave, and many do. On top of that, our staff may help a player or two with that decision by telling them that playing time will likely not come their way.
  2. Perhaps our 1st goal is to re-recruit the players on our own roster that we want to remain. We will also want to stay in contact with the current signees. We will also have discussions with the player(s) that we may help exit, stage right. I am quite sure all of the above takes place daily. My take is that we are no longer a program that will simply replace a body with a body. The player or players that come on board will be talented; but perhaps more importantly, will be a cultural fit and will fill a role. Our background staff will likely look at portal players and vet them before turning them over to the coaches for final analysis and recruitment. I wonder how many portal players contact us first rather than vice-versa?
  3. Good news, we are dancing this year. It means we don't have to worry about next year quite yet.
  4. I say this sort of sheepishly...so much depends upon how the game is called. We should handle A & M. But another game with calls and non calls, like what occurred against Illinois, leaves me nervous.
  5. Sort of sad...my first game as a fan was in the Coliseum. But I don't remember much of it. I was pretty young and attended with my dad and my Godfather. I don't really count it because I was only a youngster. I then attended sporadic games until the final year of the Coliseum, which was my freshman year. It was an awesome experience. Larry Cox, who was generously listed at 6'6" lived a few doors down in Abel Hall. We also had Rene' Anderson, Curtis Craig, Kelly Saalfeld and Dodie Donnell living on our floor. I remember going through physicals prior to the start of the year with all the other incoming athletes. We were paraded room to room in our tidy whities. Very uncomfortable, to say the least. Anywho...the finsl year at the Coliseum was cool, I was usually a bit inebriated and would always sit on the first two rows of the bleachers. We were a tad rowdy.
  6. Quick take, personalities of A&M coach Buzz Williams and Husker coach Fred Hoiberg couldn't be more different.
  7. I wonder if they have the video of Trev storming the court...for Nebraska.
