  1. Wow. All these Henderson references. I know where it is. My mom was from Henderson. Enjoyed visiting my grandma when I was growing up. Loved riding my bike all over. Nice town.
  2. What's the leg hair situation? Is he projected to grow another 1-3" from his current 6'6"?
  3. Okay, it's obvious I haven't been on this website for a while. But I'm gearing up for some Husker Hoops! I was on a business trip, attending a conference in Midtown Manhattan that obviously got canceled once the 2nd plane hit, although they still served us lunch that day. As I walked back to the hotel where I was staying I tried to cover my nose and mouth because of the smell and debris in the air, and I saw streams of people covered in soot trudging north. Watched TV from my hotel room the rest of that day and late into the night. Transportation to and from the island was shut down until later the next day, but I was then able to get a taxi to Grand Central Station, take a train to Philadelphia and then another taxi to the rental cars at the airport there. Drove through the night with an executive from my company (who lived elsewhere) arriving in Akron, OH at 3 am where I would meet up with a friend who later drove me the rest of the way home, finally arriving around dinner time on that Saturday. This was the only business trip I ever took where I hadn't left my wife a detailed itinerary. So she wasn't sure where I was in NYC and if I was in meetings at the WTC or staying at the downtown Marriott (that was at the base of the towers) where I had sometimes been. With poor cell phone service it took me a long time to get through to her to confirm that I was okay.
  4. According to Robin Washut, Kerr's NIL deal at WVU is around $600K. I'm assuming that's over his 2 years of remaining eligibility, but don't know for sure. Seems like more than we'd have available for him given rumors about our NIL funding challenges.
  5. So Pitt and Indiana are out of the running now. Our odds have increased and I like our chances much better now as the only remaining Power 6 team. Granted, Memphis and the AAC are still a very solid option for him.
  6. Sharavjamts would be a nice addition, but if we don't land him I wonder what that recruiting status is on Dunkley-Distant. Based on the name alone, sounds like he could both finish at the rim with authority and hit 3s from deep! :)
  7. So many options....so many memories. However, the one that rises to the top for me is Rich King since I knew him personally when he was in high school. It also helps that he was a part of the best era of Husker Hoops.
  8. I like the potential of the current group and think it's a deeper team, but not sure yet that the top-end talent is at the same level. That said, the competition bar is also higher, I think, especially in the NIL era and with conference consolidation of power. As a result, I'm not getting my hopes up, but will continue to enjoy being a fan of "my" team.
  9. I agree, but Bucky doesn't limit their cheap shots to just one player.
  10. I did in that moment! Feels like it happens too often. Glad to be wrong.
  11. So this is where the B1G officials will help PSU since they are a bubble team.
  12. Wow! NW with 14 2nd chance points on 6 offensive rebounds. We only have 9 rebounds! Sam and Derrick combined for 7 TOs.
  13. Seemed he was taking his time, then rushed them at the end
  14. If only we could have had this defensive effort and team oriented offensive cohesiveness last year when we had more talented offensive players
  15. Garcia was like a fish out of water...flopping back and forth. He seemed more interested in trying to drawing fouls at both ends of the court rather than playing the game. Derrick probably has a lot of bruises on his chest from Garcia and Payne "backing him down". Those 2 were throwing their shoulders into him and the refs just let that contact go. Glad we got out with a win, though.
  16. Well, if we're imagining, what about adding Simeon Wilcher to the roster/starting lineup?
