Roster Attrition

[Ron Mexico]

FH will likely want to keep as many players as possible, however there could be some unexpected departures. I don't think he is going to waste his times with guys who could potentially be locker cancer.

To me it sounds like Donovan is going to remain N and there is work to do on Green

To me green seems like a guy who wants to go somewhere that he can get a lot of shots up. Maybe that’s here w hoiberg. Maybe that’s at Colorado. The way things are going it looks like he’s a starter here. No sure what Colorado’s situation is

"... hopefully no one transfers out."

 

They will. And let them. Just like with Frost making a culture shift in the program, it's going to take some hard feelings to make that shift, but once you have the right guys in your system, it's going to be a really special group.

The early prognosis from recruits has been great. Quite honestly, if it was anybody but Hoiberg we are probably talking about a total rebuild. 

 

We we will see if Hoiberg keeps all of the recruits but if he can somehow pull off Green, Roby, Allen next year doesn’t look so bad. Still missing some pieces but would love to see what the current roster + our incoming recruits can do under Hoiberg.

This. And as vocal as some people have been to the Miles Apologists, this seemed like a major concern from those people. If they couldn't get a program-changing name in here, they seemed to prefer Miles to continue to take the reigns.

Seems like MAW is 'N' from comments I had heard. Will be interesting to see how Hoiberg & Co. handle this in the next 4-5 months, tbh.

Interesting to see how far is up this offseason.

Hell of an insight there, Sipple. Never would have guessed it.

Be careful with that logic or you will be accused of being drunk or high by pimp Mario and bill selfs tupae

I don't think I was a Miles "Apologist", but I was more than willing to give him more time IF we were not going to see a significant upgrade in Head Coach ability.  I think Hoiberg clearly fits that criteria, so I am A-Okay now. Was feeling a lot of trepidation the past few weeks.

You were a Miles apologist. It’s okay. You can admit you were wrong now. It’s great to be horribly wrong when it benefits your team.

Moos was obviously quietly calling around to find a new coach last year to try and replace a coach who won 22 games.  Didn't happen.

Prior to that you're looking at Eichorst making a hire. 

This year you fire Miles before the end of the season or NIT and you turn a very popular coach in Miles into more of a martyr which is asking the team to transfer out and giving our recruits more time to be stolen. The Miles era lasted an appropriate length.

 

Turns out it isn't great to show lack of character when you're horribly wrong about rooting against your own team.

The program is going in exactly the direction I've wanted it too. Couldn't be more excited and I still don't care about the NIT. Never will. It's meaningless

Colorado has a young team that basically brings back everyone. In that regards, we're probably a better option for shots. However, Green was highly sought after so there has to be a lot more suitors than Colorado. In the short term it's going to be a scramble and next year will probably be rough.

Enjoyed the threads this morning. Got to give Matt another up vote. Leaving on trip and back Tuesday so catching up should be an excellent way to take my mind off the Red Sox starters' somewhat disappointing beginning to the baseball season.

Next year might be rough but doesn't have to be if the right chips fall the way they realistically could.

 

I think the back court Miles had lined up would be a very good back court with Green, Allen, Burke, Adams-Woods and Harris.  In that order, by the way.

 

If the rumors about Cameron Lard have legs and if, for some spectacular reason, the NCAA (with its seemingly more liberal approach to granting recruits immediate eligibility) granted him some sort of eligibility waiver, and we got Roby back, we would have a respectable front court as well.

 

At that point, we actually might not suck next season.  Odds of all of that happening are probably less than 1%.

Stranger things have occurred. That scenario doesn't seem implausible, well, not entirely. We'll have to wait & see. These next 4-6 mo. will be intriguing, if nothing else.

[ConkTrifecta3]

My guess for next season’s roster:

 

Burke

Allen

Harris

Roby

Heiman

Green

Adams-Woods

Arop

 

Obvious who is left out here, will have to hit the transfer market hard and snag a few that are immediately eligible.

Colorado has two young guards.  Wonder what the attraction is there?

So Thorir will be cut loose.

[khoock]

Top 5 players we are most likely to lose:

1. Isaiah Roby: could go pro. If hes playing college ball next year it will be for Nebraska imo.

2. Nana Akenten: suspended for the last 6 games of the year. Has removed "Nebraska Basketball" from Twitter bio FWIW

3. Thomas Allen: contemplated leaving last year for something closer to home. Already in the transfer portal. However, would be a great fit in Hoiberg's system

4. Thorir Thorbjarnarson: contemplating going back to Iceland to play professionally. If hes playing college ball next year it will be at Nebraska.

5. Karrington Davis: huge question mark. Health is a huge factor. Where does he fit in?

I believe he is from Colorado.
