Has the kid ever visited?

[Norm Peterson]

No buzz or activity on this kid for 9 months and then, all of a sudden, he has a final list and a decision coming soon.  That makes it seem like we're just on the list so that he has a final 5 or whatever.  I'll be somewhat shocked if it's us he's choosing.

[bigFRED]

I hear he'll be visiting us Sept 16-18.. sound familiar? That's because it's also the same time that Nate Roberts is visiting... that could be a great weekend for us.

Wouldnt hurt for us to show him some love!

His visits:

9/1-Washington

9/8-Creighton

9/16-Nebraska

9/22-Georgia Tech

9/29-South Florida

 

i like our positioning there right in the middle. He'll have a couple warm up visits before he gets blown away by Nebraska, and then a couple visits following ours that won't be able to compare favorably to Nebraska.

Or... even better... He is so blown away by Nebraska that he just cancels his 9/22 and 9.29 visits and commits on the spot!

It's so easy for football recruits to follow in love with the huskers because they have so many fans showing them love constantly saying how they'll love the huskers and GBR. If any of y'all are good at that, dude it for this kid and nate roberts.

[bigFRED]

Cause I mean this kid is absolute filth. 

 

 

[Jugular]

That's a funky jump shot.  Wonder what his shooting percentage is? Nice athleticism

[Fullbacksympathy]

Love him as a PG.  Great handles and very good passer.  

[Huskerpapa]

Great handles, looks extremely quick, looks like a very good teammate.  The only "negative" is his odd looking jump shot, and perhaps that isn't a negative.  It is just a bit unorthodox.

heiman, johnson, roberts, hunter would be a great class. not sure that would be enough for miles to withstand another losing season though. he's going to have to win some games this year.

[khoock]

Miles will need a 17 win season to save his job imo.

 

[Swan88]

Ha!  

There's only one person's opinion on Tim Miles that matters.  He isn't posting on this board.  He isn't listening to us.  And none of us knows what he's thinking.  

Any of us on this board with an opinion on Miles's future job status (whether he stays or goes under any circumstances at the end of next season) has a 50% chance of being right.

And it's always fun to speculate!

[Huskerpapa]

Swam. I don't disagree that the AD does not read what we have to say, but he would be very unwise not knowing what we are saying and thinking.  This site is known for diehard Husker fandom.  Without overstating it, we seem to be the heart of the fan base.  Not bragging, but if he knows what this site is saying, he will have a great understanding of what the fans think of the product on the floor.  So the AD may not be reading this, but he better have minions that are paying attention.

It is always fun to speculate. There's going to be lots of opinions about Miles' job status going into and throughout the season. There are going to be many experts claiming to know an exact win total that is needed to stay aboard. I don't subscribe to that channel. Nobody knows. The man making the decision probably doesn't even know. It's not that simple. But yes Miles needs wins. 

 

I don't have any inside knowledge but I currently speculate that Miles' job status is much more solidified (at the moment) with those that matter than most fans believe. I say 'at the moment' because anything can happen including another losing season. I don't think this is as simple a hitting a win total. It's going to depend on what is seen with the eyes. 

 

I dont think we were as bad as our record last year. Through a good chunk of the season we were competitive in every game. Of course you can't just ignore the end of the season either.

 

Say we land a solid 2018 class. Say we see with our eyes a competitive team that has multiple building blocks, difference makers, and potential. They look like they are truly going somewhere and have plus momentum but only achieve a .500 record. Then what? I know at some point (I think we've reached it) that wins have to be tallied, but are we (Is Eichorst) just going to cut the cord at that point? I wouldn't think so.
