Cool!!! I was gonna ask.  That is a good sign.

So he's gained nearly 100 followers on twitter this afternoon, nearly all of them appear to be Husker fans.

Always gotta be the "Nebraska... Really" guys

[HuskerCager]

Interesting hire because Miles indicated he wanted to center the next hire around what an assistant can offer for recruiting.  So does this mean we are doubling down on recruiting Big 10 country or does this guy have a specialization in a certain part of the U.S.?

Little does anyone know, but this is part of the Barry Collier Nebraska to Butler deal.  Michael Lewis is the player to be named later.  I think we did okay.... 

[Norm Peterson]

After Craig Smith and Chris Harriman left, we needed another bald guy.

Interestingly, his bio at Butler doesn't mention his brief stint at Loyola before joining the Bulldogs.

 

Apparently, he spent less than a Burno at Loyola.

I'd call it a double down though it's in an area we haven't had any success recruiting yet.

He did spend 3 years in Texas.

Since joining the Big East Butler is 3-3 vs Creighton.

 

 

 

 

edit...that's my 11,000th post.

Suppose Miles will have him handle the CU scout for next year?

 

 

 

edit...rookie

Am I the only one who's interested in whether he's going to rent or not?

[Huskerpapa]

I pray that he is a good fit.

I didn't realize Normy is near 16k.

Heh...34 new twitter followers today (all appear to be Husker fans/media) and no announcement made yet.

 

4322 followers just a few hours ago.

 

4377 now...

 

 

4393

 

 

4471 - all before an official announcement has been made, and it is also assuming a fairly significant # of unfollows from Butler fans.

That's about as strong of confirmation that we've seen short of an announcement by the University that he's been hired.

 

That almost beats the Rosenthal "official tweet."

Pretty much a done deal, I'd say.

Ol Creigh is more of a Sker than a JAy.

[royalfan]

This sounds good.  Hopefully he also adds a dimension of X/O ability that we could certainly use as well.

[AuroranHusker]

Official welcome to Michael Lewis to the Nebrasketball family! GBR

[khoock]

If we can get five years out of him like Butler did, I would be estatic.

Left IU as all-time leader in assists. I'd say the chances of this are pretty good.
