And there's not even a #3 on the current roster! Welcome to the big leagues.

 

Yeah, that amused me.

Not claiming AWIII as a Husker myself.  We'll have a few Huskers in the NBA in the near future to claim.

Andrew White getting some playing time in Detroit right now against the surprisingly not injured Blake Griffin right now.

Turned it on 2 minutes after you posted and had already missed him.  But checked the box score and saw he managed to get 4 FGAs in the 5 minutes he was on the court.  And 2 fouls lol

 

I'm happy for any player that is able to realize their dreams of playing in the NBA.  Even more happy for AWIII.

Been thinking about AW3. Obviously he left us in a lurch but him doing so meant we had to scramble for Evan Taylor. It's possible we aren't at 20 wins right now without him.

I'll take the hardnosed guy on this very talented 2017-18 squad. It seems to have worked out well for ET & Nebrasketball.

Really? You just don't see a lot of Calvinists any more. Does Unconditional Election also work for NCAA bids?

Now we’re doing sectarian religion?

Hate all you want, but *I'm* gonna count it.

 

I wonder if George Washington considered Benedict Arnold an American; or was he to busy crossing the Delaware Turnpike to think about it?

[Blindcheck]

We essentially traded one year for White for 2 years of Taylor.

 

In the end, we might have come out ahead with getting Evan for this year.....Taylor is no superstar, but he is a very important player for us this year.

AW3 had 15pts in just under 17 min of playing time

Good on ya, Jack!

Jumping Jack Splash would be even catchier, although it might be false advertising.

Jumpin' like a kangaroo, even.

More NBA Summer League action for Tai this year, possibly?

When the Warriors actually put him on the court last summer he was rather efficient. He definitely deserves a shot.

Well played

[Handy Johnson]

LOVE that Ubel kid, he was on the team that beat the Golden Gophers in the last ever game played at the Devaney...

[jimmykc]

I always thought Ubel was a pretty insightful guy for his age and I still do. Would think he would be able to do well as a commentator using his media skills once his playing days are over. 

[hhcmatt]

Ubel tore his ACL btw.

 

 

[Red Rum]

I am seriously speechless on those uniforms. holy cow.

 

But sending positive vibes out to Ubel. Always liked that kid. 

[Handy Johnson]

So much for the road Reds and the home Whites, I'm not sure your average Husker ham-n-egger is ready for a leopard print uniform. Godspeed to ya Brandon, hope your back on the court soon!
