rr52 Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 Ed was a ferocious rebounder and played hard and I enjoyed watching him play. I'm disappointed as hell he is leaving. Is my comment over the line? I don't think so as I was just commenting on someone else's post. Quote

I know you don't care about women's basketball, but the Posts bashing Shepherd for transferring are about 99-1. Here it's mostly bashing the coach. Funny world we live in. One day apart. Think the situations are quite a bit different Haymarket Husker and Husker4theSpurs 2 Quote

I hate that he's leaving, but what they're saying isn't wrong. He rarely passed out of the post. His mid-range jumper wasn't good. And he isn't a good ball handler. That said, he can score down low, and he rebounds like a madman. I was looking forward to more of that. Edited March 30, 2017 by atskooc AuroranHusker, KLamp21, ladyhusker and 4 others 7 Quote
Dead Dog Alley Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 3 minutes ago, nustudent said: This. All of it. He was by far going to be one of our two best returning players. But, it's not going very far out on a limb to say that his offensive skills are very limited at this point. It didn't help that a lot of our offensive possessions were hot garbage, but if he's going to go somewhere good and play the four he's going to have to put in a lot of work. Quote

But funny now that he is transferring, only his flaws show. 6 hours ago, the 7 game stretch he missed, was a huge down turn for the program.

Huskerpapa Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 He was our enforcer. Nobody messed with Ed. Will miss that attitude. Will miss his motor. Will miss his rebounding. Will miss his quick jumping ability. Will miss some of his offensive moves. But he does have limited range, but perhaps he can work on that aspect of his game in his redshirt year. Sorry, I will miss Ed. We will miss Ed. But everyone is replaceable. His offensive stat line will be replaced. ladyhusker, Thattimeofyear4, rr52 and 1 other 4 Quote
The Polish Rifle Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 Regardless of what Ed did well and not well, we're gonna be a worse team without him - don't think there will be any argument there. Seeing as we've put out what seems like a dozen offers to Guards this week, I'm really hoping we have no more attrition. rr52, AuroranHusker, Nebrasketballer and 1 other 4 Quote

Because the sign he is leaving when he was looked too as a bright spot for our future outweighs his flaws in my opinion we don't get it both ways. Don't get to make excuses for the program/Miles because morrow was hurt and the future is bright only to throw him under the bus in a span of hours (not you specifically but general line of thought) the guy guy was a tweener. He wasn't a superstar. He had flaws. That being said, he also had some damn five attributes and brought things that no one else on the roster did. We aren't better off without him Quote

But, if that doesn't happen I'm really hoping the next guy succeeds. I'm not going to wish he fails because of the guy who hired him. That's odd. Really? Because it sure seems like you take particular delight pointing out the failures of the coaches hired by the last AD. Which, by the way, I get really sick and fucking tired of reading because I seriously don't think Tom Osborne has anything to do with the success or failure of this basketball program and I'd like nothing more than for you to shut the fuck up about that and a couple other tropes you like trotting out from time to time.

We aren't better off without him Plenty of people are using this to point out Miles' flaws (just like with Ed, flaws that have been pointed out all year) which also shouldn't be unexpected. Just because Miles' shortcomings may be the more important flaws, that doesn't mean anyone should be surprised that consistent talk about Ed during the season shouldn't happen in a thread about his departure. I agree; we'll be worse without him. Quote

I'm not done with this board, cuz I love you guys, but I'm done with: 1) the snowflake players that can't suck it up and actually STICK with a commitment 2) a head coach that has all the tools in the world and ONE winning season in his five here to show how good he is at his craft 3) an A.D. who supports the coach he hires, but is silent on the ones he doesn't and gives a ringing endorsement to the guy in charge of basketball who for thirteen years has done nothing. I'll leave it at that. 4) the politics involving all decisions made or not made in the athletic department. Maybe it's time to drain the swamp. ladyhusker and RedEyedFanatic 2 Quote

But some act like he's the devil because he had the nerve to fire a football coach hired by Osborne. People bring up Eichorst's hires to bash him and in the same breath praise Osborne. Osborne made lackluster hires. For the life of me, I don't know why some can't admit that. And as you can see...it really irks sensitive posters like Norm. Keeping Miles around after next year because Eichorst is the AD should not be a thing. If it is, the athletic department will be in shambles soon.

uneblinstu Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) Someone jump in their Delorean, let me know what the roster looks like, I'll let you know what I feel about things then. At the moment, I'm sad. I've heard rumors of more to come, if it's limited to what I've heard, plus the addition of a couple of guards and maybe a guy like Donnal, they'll still have a chance. If more leave than what I've heard, I'll start to cry. Edited March 30, 2017 by uneblinstu Quote

hskr4life Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 I mean... I think we can all agree that there are some who just feed off of the negative posts. All they do is post negative things, and they have these sneaky ways of making their "positive posts" negative as well. I think that is what pisses people off the most. It brings the whole board down. Maybe that's their goal? Who knows? hhcscott, Silverbacked1, Ron Mexico and 4 others 7 Quote
