We do not want Donovan at NU. He has the athletic skills but is not a team player and has became very uncoachable this year. For those that watched his last several games, North Star played much better as team without him. He could care less what was happening at time outs and basically played 1 on 5 for himself.

Watched last six coaches starting in the old coliseum with Cipriano. Coach Iba with his team at Mabel Lee was priceless! Handing in his resignation letter he had already written before the game after losing to Western Kentucky was pretty good too!

Ugly. Disappointing. Difficult to understand.

Yes exactly. No disrespect for Cipriano. And I meant to say that I've watched last six basketball coaches. in any case, for those of us that have followed Nebrasketball since the 70s, I just think today was coach Miles day that will be a turning point that the AD can't ignore and boosters and alumni like myself will expect to be addressed.

Coach Cipriano was a fun guy to watch and I always enjoyed watching his team. I always used to like it when we had swung the momentum of games and had a huge run only for Nebraska to call a time out and stop the momentum. He had passion and again I personally have positive memories of Coach Cipriano. i have no idea why you are personally attacking me, but my post has nothing to do with coach Cipriano's unfortunate passing. Thanks!

I've watched the last six basketball coaches at Nebraska and in the end of their tenures there was always a "last straw" moment when things just weren't working and it became obvious that we were going to need a change. Today was that day for Tim Miles. He has punched his ticket out of here. Lack of teamwork, inconsistent defense and lack of any offensive execution. i can look past many things. There will be those that will say we are young, that we just need another year or two. It is time for the AD to do his job. Smoke and mirrors from Miles are over. This is gonna get ugly in the B1G. Gardber-Webb? Now we're losing to schools with hyphens? We have a $100M athletic department budget and top 20 facilities with great fan support. This needs to end. Coach Miles has either lost this team or he just can't coach them in his system. But these are the players he recruited for his system. No excuses at all for this. The ticket for coach Miles was punched today. We need to move the program forward, and the start of moving forward will be to send coach Miles back to a mid-major program where he belongs.

Glynn Watson = Rajon Rondo Best husker guard since Lue.

We will see about Miles in the next couple of years. I hope we get over the top and he can get these players to gel and play team ball. That's what happened for 8 weeks a couple years ago. We had enough talent then to finish fourth in the B1G. We have more talent now. Coach Miles just needs to get them to commit to a system and play together. Our defense has slid and our offense has decayed into individual player isolation plays to score. We have to stop talking about the B1G likes its some unstoppable force. It helps us recruit, it helps us with reputation, and it helps pay the bills. We don't have to win the B1G, just be competitive and we can get into the tourney. We can win plenty of games in the B1G as long as we have players committed to our system. We have enough talent to be in the tourney and yes win. Its up to coach Miles and his staff now. I'm happy to wait two more years to get a stable program that's in the tourney most years. Of course, if we don't see this, I'm pretty sure the current AD already has some replacements in mind and unfortunately we will have to start again!

Its too bad our staff is asleep at the wheel with Teddy. He is the best player in the state and we are treating him like he's a mid major project player. He will play for a power 5 school (just not us) and we are gonna watch it happen. We have missed on so many guards in the last couple of years and here is a player that we can use. I just don't understand what Miles is doing with recruiting sometimes. He has had plenty of time to see this guy play and to build the relationship to recruit him.

Anyone know how Oregon roster looks? Do they need a guy with White size?

Some great comments about the big man search! We have a lot of young players so it is to be expected we need to develop chemistry. Maybe some of that is impacting Hammond. I too do not understand why he isn't getting more minutes out there. We are struggling on both ends of the court. Our offense hasn't been the same since the 2014 NCAA run. Our defense hasn't been either. Its obvious. But underscoring all the current problems on the court today is the fact we just don't match up well in our conference without any size in the middle. We are going to get slaughtered against big physical schools in the B1G. I think this team will end of losing 10 league games this year because of this. Coach Miles is not landing bigs (>6-8'). I love his approach with wings, athletic players to spread the floor. But we should have landed a couple services bigs by now. The losing will continue with the current approach. Need to land a big guy. Just look at the rosters of our own conference and you see all kinds of tall guys on their rosters. Iowa has even made progress. We have fallen behind and we are not getting the recruiting out of this coaching staff that is expected.

Well this is frustrating. To comments earlier, we all know how much time coach Miles and staff have spent to land a post player. I have never questioned that. Coaches get paid for results. 0-3 to start B1G is not what we are paying coach Miles to do. I don't accept that we played hard so it's ok if we lose. I don't accept the fact we haven't landed a center. Great facilities and fan support and B1G conference. By now we should have have landed a center. We shouldn't be losing 10-12 games in the B1G this year, but we are on pace to do so. IMPO this recruiting shortfall is a sign of more to come. We are better, but not good enough.

This will be a tough recruit to land, he as enough other options with his talent. But its time for coach Miles to step up to the plate for a legit big man. Here is his chance. A transfer that would normally have 15-20 offers has one week to decide. We cannot play small ball in the B1G. We have no center. No excuses, no more waiting until next time. Its time for coach Miles to show he is serious about being a successful power five head coach.

Great day for Husker Hoops! To me this sends some great messages to other potential recruits out there. Yes we are a destination for top 50 talent. Yes we are a program on the rise. Yes we have great facilities and a great coach. Thank you Tom Osborne for the great hire!

Well I guess this answers some questions about how well we are going to recruit the 2015 class. Hard to get too excited about this. I thought we left the Collier, Sadler recruiting world behind? No way he is a starting Big Ten player for the upper division. He is committed to Iowa/Iowa St right now if he were good enough. I don't get this at all unless we think were gonna whiff on some other "guys we're in on". AJW3, Morrow, et al seem like entertaining stories until they sign somewhere else.
