Might move some of the teams into different categories, but overall I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that the B1G is going to be overall better or across the board better than it was this year. I think it will be better and deeper. That's not really the question though. The question is....do we improve more than the other teams and where does that leave us in the mix. If everyone is healthy and plays to potential...you have to like us. But considering the last 20 years.....not an easy thing to hold our breath on Silverbacked1 and Norm Peterson 2 Quote

HuskerFever Posted May 31, 2017 Author Report Posted May 31, 2017 4 hours ago, Norm Peterson said: Sure, there's a way. If we finish 3-13 down the stretch again. That might do it. I don't think the odds of that happening are very high, though. Miles is good for a 5+ game losing streak, however. If we can break that trend, then we're in much better shape. Quote

Another year in the gym and hitting the weights should hopefully help with his confidence. If he finishes his career at NU it will be fun to watch when it all clicks. Quote

And regardless of their decision(s), the one thing they have to be very very careful about is stepping over a fine line of incentivizing youth at an early age. Should they continue to lower the age requirements, you may start to see kids dropping out of high school to pursue professional aspirations and end up without a high school diploma as a result. I know this is a stretch, but it's not out of the realm of possibilities. Quote

Huskerpapa Posted June 1, 2017 Report Posted June 1, 2017 I believe Isaiah went in to last season weight 214 lbs. That is likely after putting on about 20 lbs prior to the season. Any guesses what he will weigh going into this coming season? Quote

nustudent Posted June 1, 2017 Report Posted June 1, 2017 Would have to think this might curb the transfer epidemic too. With less one and dones, the big time schools wont be looking for as many immediate fixes from grad transfers from lesser schools Silverbacked1 and bobcat402 2 Quote

Got a cup of coffee in the NBA after that but couldn't stick. Quote

I think it would be a lot similar to college baseball, the best of the crop will take their chances and likely succeed. The rest of with appropriate counsel will go to college and build their skills. They're may still be some that go overseas but I think results of shown it's a mixed bag, and the competition isn't as great, none of the players going overseas arnt going to the top euro leagues. If the NBA really wants to capatalize they would finish their goal and get every team to lock up their own minor league team. That way when some of the high school kids go pro and arnt ready they have a chance to hone their skills. i think the college game would take a jump if this was to happen, we could get back to building programs Quote

But in this scenario you could go to the NBA straight out of HS. I don't see the significant difference between these two plans that would have an uptick in kids going overseas....an option that is already available. How many two and done kids would there be?

I think one of the major differences between these two paths is that one path requires you to go to classes, read, do homework, study for exams, and get sufficient grades while the other path allows you to eat, sleep, and live basketball. I'm sure the latter is more appealing to some athletes with professional basketball aspirations. Quote
hhcmatt Posted June 5, 2017 Report Posted June 5, 2017 Also pretty sure I saw Dube grabbing lunch with Mo this weekend. I'm still not 100% familiar with what Okeke looks like but about 6'9" and muscles everywhere seems about right. 49r 1 Quote

Huskerpapa Posted June 5, 2017 Report Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) Sort of late to be parting ways with a coach. That could certainly lead to a domino effect.

Saves all the angst about players playing for the coach's job, and are they putting too much pressure on themselves and pressing too hard and forcing thing, and will it hurt recruiting and all those other questions. Retiring at the end of next year (instead of being fired) makes for a far smoother transition, no? Quote
