50-60K of adidas money should do the trick.

Really wish he was still here. Fun kid to watch.

JT thinks he's playing in the NBA someday. Nothing wrong with that. Sometimes his work ethic/attitude/desire don't match his dream. Costello dreams of being the next Drake Beranek and works his A$$ for it every single day.

My thoughts being there live: Watson- ready to go as a top 4-5 PG In the league. Has a lot of responsibility but seems to want that. Was pesky defensively and had some really good streaks on offense. A couple of bad looking shots but mostly good. One time, he got iso'd on copeland w/ 10 on the clock, and settled for a 3 pointer with a hand in his face (good D by copeland)-- and he got lit up by the coaches. Kind of nice to see honestly. ET- ready to go. Great catch and shoot corner 3. really good defense. Got to lane when he wanted and made good passes doing so. Will be our top perimeter defender so his offense will come and go. What a great addition late by the staff last year. Palmer- Love what he brings to the table. He reminds me of such a combo of our recent really good players (under control like white, gets to rim with ease and size like TP, not super quick twitch but patient and controls game like shavon. He will have to have his 3 ball in the league to bring defense out but in transition- he was dominant last night. Blew right by Gill once and copeland couldn't handle him off the dribble either. Loved him and cope going at it. Copeland- You can see the offensive tools. Smooth 3 point shot that will get better and better. Can put the ball on the floor. Ran some high low stuff with Jordy & Duby in practice. Finished with both hands. He should average 10-12 easy. On D is my concern- who do we want him to guard? He couldn't keep Palmer from getting right to the rim, and he couldn't keep Jordy/Duby off the glass. Has some work to do on that end but he will be much better playing with a rim protector. Jordy- Dude is so big. I can't imagine how dominant he can be on the block in a year or two. Just needs to keep getting better. Had some dumb fouls and didnt have great touch but whenever the ball went in to him- we got good shots. Having Duby to spell and limit his minutes will be vital. Mcveigh- Had a great night. Will be really vital to our success as we penetrate and move the ball-- he's just gotta hit threes. Looked comfortable on D albeit limited athletically. Lot to like as his shot was probably the most consistent all night. Roby- The positives are easy to see. Can really run, can rebound, defended much better than last year. Still didnt look comfortable handling the ball or shooting open jump shots (Think hawkins his freshman year). One possession ET made a great drive and kick to a wide open roby who passed up a three to basically drive and kick again- ET let him have it "Shoot the ball!"... If his J ever develops, he's going to be a force. As is, a really solid 6th/7th man w/ Mcveigh Okeke- Probably the most impressive player in terms of what I was expecting. Knows how to find openings and create angles when guards drive. Extremely strong with the ball. Reminds me of the good things Morrow did without the want too or desire to do the bad. Crowd went nuts when he hit a FT which was funny (for know!) I think hell play more minutes than we think. I imagine if we have a lead late-- he will be our C not Jordy--- unless he really can only shoot 30% from the line. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The top 8 are pretty much locks-- hence the line. Lots to like with the other guys though as well. I think the 9th guy will be either Allen or Gill and I think there minutes will be fairly limited-- the reason I say that is because Watson, ET, and Palmer are maybe our 3 best players and I think Miles will play all three of them at or over 30 minutes a game. Allen can flat out shoot it-- looked really solid chasing watson around and playing D. Made some really careless and bad passes though. Gill doesnt do much for me-- had a couple nice drives and mid range shots but he lacks range and strength to drive and finish. Knee looked healthy though. Nana can fly- super athletic. Really elevates on his shot and I think will have a good shot. His d was below average on the ball and he looks like he doesnt know what to do on offense-- other than run at the rim after shots for put back slams. I like the upside though! Thorir- we will see. Not the quickest dude. Can slash- vision and passing ability were better than I thought. Slow release on his three but could develop into a role guy. Guys seemed to really like him. Costello/Borchardt--- PERFECT walkons! Hope they both finish there careers here. Costello can flat out shoot it. Knows how to play. Borch is a hoss. Limited but can finish with both hands and knows his role. sets screens, hits boards hard. Plays physical.

Another quiet game?

Finished the game. Actually fell asleep in the T9 when the score was 12-9. Woke up when my phone went nuts after Puigs one handed homer made it 12-11. I don't know if the bullpens are just fried from overuse all post season (especially LA's) or if the balls are juiced but this is some of the most insane baseball I've ever seen. Correa's & Puigs home runs were unfathomable.

He is "open" to Nebraska per Washut Nebraska has "contacted" him per Washut

"Im coming home, Im coming home-- tell the world that Im coming home"

Im coming home, Im coming home-- tell the world that Im coming home

Agau to Lincoln. Eligible immedietly. Two years left.

any update?

The new chang video is dirty... wonder where he is going to end up??

To be 100% honest-- i don't follow them enough to know. And I am not saying all these guys shoulda been offered by NU, or bashing miles--- just think its night to have almost 10 high caliber D1 players from our state going right now.

You don't really have a PG-- I guess Jaylin Bradley would qualify PG- Bradley SG- Hollins SF- Thomas PF- Daum C- Patton Bench: Agau, Thurman, BIllingsley-- Thats an NCAA team for sure

Wonder where Chang will end up? He's lighting up the scoreboard lately and has really found his shooting stroke. Biggest concern is he has to defend the 5 every night-- which he does a good job of in Omaha-- but he's not really developing as a perimeter defender.

Agueks little brother Akol is probably going to be a 1st team all Stater from Creighton Prep as a sophomore-He is clearly there best player-- he just dominated his Senior brother last friday night. Problem--- he's about 6'6 and scores all his points in the paint. Plus-- he is a much better athlete than Aguek. put back slams, driving slams, runs the court like a deer. Has better handle and a shot than people think. His floor is UNO/Summit-- His ceiling is probably to be Miles 6-7th man. Season stats: 15.6 ppg, 8 rpg, 3.5 bpg, 2.5 steals-- shooting 76% from the floor and 71% from the line. If we could land him and Chang as in-state Metro kids-- that would be ideal for me. Both are GREAT kids who no study problems-- humble-- and athletic as anyone to come out of the state past 10+ years.

Im not mad at all for the record. Long live the Huskers!!

dude... we can't question coaches decisions in here. Its not allowed

That falls on Timmy-- its year 5. Fans don't want to watch brutal offense from a a .500 team. sorry!

See ya Timmy.... NEXT

My worry has become a reality... I think Aguek's brother Akol is going to be a better prospect than him. He is a sophomore at Prep and through two games he is averaging 16 points 8 rebounds 4 blocks and 2 assists. He is more of a guard than Aguek and has much better footspeed/quickness with that pre knee surgery explosiveness (5 dunks in two games)... Last I heard he was close to 6'6. Maybe the previous issues won't affect him as he attends Prep and not South? Maybe he's not a Nebraska level player? I am not 10% sure.

Best plan would be to pull a Gibbs circa 2014 but do it early w/ Foster-- kid is a loose cannon. Send a scrub at him-- pick a fight-- hope both get ejected

Im as big of an Arop fan as there is but he was like 13-34 from the field or something....

We would be a better team and program with Andrew White in it as opposed to playing for Syracuse. Thats a fact. All the people bagging on him don't really know what went down. Same thing with Pitchford.

TM just has to find a way to keep the core 7 (8 w/ Palmer) around until they expire there eligibility. We could grow the next two years into a dominant 2018-2019 B1G team if all the pieces stick around and develop. Watson SR Palmer SR Roby JR Mcveigh SR Morrow SR __________ Jacobson SR Horne JR Tshmingia JR Anatken SO Thats a sweet 16 type of roster.
