huskerbaseball13 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Posted August 12, 2016 recent struggles??? It's been nearly 20 years since our program has been even marginally relevant nationally. The recruiting job coach Miles has done in the last two or so years is nothing short of miraculous considering where the program is coming from. Hell, at least he's whiffing on top 150 kids...Doc didn't even TRY to go after those guys! Miles hates it when people bring up Nebraska’s lackluster history in basketball. “You save that baggage for you,” Miles said. “Don’t put that crap on me, all right? This is my program and we don’t carry any baggage. Everywhere we’ve been, we’ve been surrounded by great people and we win. And we’re gonna keep doing it. “So all of that curse crap, all of the hexing and vexing, all of that bulls--t that goes with it is exactly that. And you can print it.” Again, nowhere in my previous message did I bag on any past classes. In fact, outside of leaving a scholarship open...every...single...year this staff has done a pretty damn good job in the recruiting department. Probably as good as we could ask for. I was strictly talking about this years class and what's currently on the board. Like I said...it's nice we can be so selective because we only have 1 ship available for next year...but also concerning that we don't seem to be gaining much attention from some of the guys we have offered. We have Parker Stewart coming in on a visit...hopefully we can land him. Unfortunately, I don't think we are getting Jericho Sims despite the effort we have put in. Would love to be wrong though. I guess the part where you said "not going to panic yet" is what's bothering people, as if reaching "panic" level is imminent. We're actually probably set for a while (barring a rash of transfers out of the program) with the roster we have. "Panic" is quite a long ways off, IMO, and it seems like a bit of unnecessary hyperbole. That's all I'm saying. Don't take it personal. You are probably. Looking at our roster we are pretty set assuming no major transfers. Our staff may very well have someone like Parker Stewart at the top of their board. Hopefully he makes his visit and we lock him up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
