Which Sophomore has a "Breakout" year?

[Handy Johnson]

I think the obvious answer would be Watson, but....... don't sleep on my Boy McVeigh. The kids gonna be a ringer and God knows we could use the outside shooting. Oh, and BTW, love the Noncon schedule.

[Huskerpapa]

I am sort of hoping and praying that all of them will have a breakout year!!!

Morrow

[khoock]

Tough as I think all will be much improved. I'll go with Morrow bc I think there is a chance he averages 10pts 7 reb and a couple blocks. That would be huge for us.

[AuroranHusker]

I was waiting for the strikeout from the Handy man.

 

 

 

 

I'll go with MJ. He'll be playing beaucoup minutes.

[atskooc]

I think the safest bets are MJ and Morrow.

 

Morrow is healthy, and MJ is back to his more natural position.  Both of things should add up to more production from two of our big fellas.

[colhusker]

Watson would my bet.  I would love for it to be McVeigh raining 3s, would open everything else up.

[jimmykc]

After my "Walter" fiasco I will refrain from jinxing anyone else.

[basketballjones]

It's gonna be Watson! That's what I hope anyways. Good PG play = good team.

[Chuck Taylor]

It's gonna be Watson! That's what I hope anyways. Good PG play = good team.

That's the key for me too. Gotta have good point guard play. This team is pretty inexperienced overall so we need a calm hand on the wheel.

[atskooc]

Honestly, I thought Watson already had a breakout year.

He was way better than I had expected last year.

[Red Rum]

I'd say either Jack or Ed. They were the ones that underperformed more than Glenn and MJ. I feel Ed and Jack have higher ceilings at this point, then MJ and then Glenn. But I'm ok being wrong if Glenn wants to just go off.

[MandRHusker]

I think it will be MJ. Watson will have a great year and will be one of our leading scorers. But I already expect this to happen. So, in the definition of a "break out year" I choose MJ. Some would say he broke out last year by playing extensively, but let's face it, he played because of dire need not because he was ready. This year he is ready. He has reshaped his body and will play the position where he is most comfortable. I expect 12 and 6 production from MJ this year plus solid defense.

There is not one person from the sophomore class i do not like.

-Watson will be a good scorer and facilitator. He will also provide great PG play which is essential. I think he will be a lead by example type player.

-Jacobson will play his natural position but this time with a body that could also play the 5 well. There is a chance he could be a monster. I think he will be a more vocal leader of the team.

- Morrow will be a beast now that he is healthy. I think he will be the "enforcer" of the team who plays with a lot of attitude. My vote for most likely to get into scrums and confrontations with the opponents. It's always good to have a little attitude on the team.

- McVeigh will be solid from 3 and with a full off season I think he will be a solid rebounder (he was really good overseas and in HS plus he has a 7+ ft wing span). Also has a really high basketball IQ.

Is it tip off yet???

[bball23]

MJ.  He reminds me so much of Ubel.  You just see him get better and better each year.  Hard worker, good teammate, loves the dirty work. 

 

I also think overall our sophomore class is very solid.  Morrow may increase the most in stats due to his limited minutes last year with his bad feet. 

[atskooc]

I'd say either Jack or Ed. They were the ones that underperformed more than Glenn and MJ. I feel Ed and Jack have higher ceilings at this point, then MJ and then Glenn. But I'm ok being wrong if Glenn wants to just go off.

If Watson does have a breakout year, will you start to spell his name correctly?

 

[bleujay]

Jacobson

[AuroranHusker]

After my "Walter" fiasco I will refrain from jinxing anyone else.

 

What about Wilber? Shooter.

[Navin R. Johnson]

Wasn't Shooter in the class of 1931?

[Red Rum]

I'll consider it.

[kleitus]

What's your definition of breakout?

I think all show considerabl improvement.

I heard a rumor that one member of this group has been having some hamstring issues.  If true, I hope that issue soon resolves.

[Cowboy Kermit]

I think Ed Morrow stands out at the 4. The muscle he's put on will help him inside and I wouldn't be shocked if he shows a bit of a mid-range game. 

[Handy Johnson]

I think it's safe to say that Nebraska is only going to be as good as it's Sophomore class, they're going to have to carry the water. I believe the all have HUGE upsides and after a year of B1G ball they won't come in all wide eyed. Anything we can get from the frosh will be gravy and as long as Tai plays within himself ( No Curry imitations) we'll be fine. GBR!

Well, in 2014 the sophomores carried the team all the way to San Antonio, so you never know!
