Yep. Would love to have him 10-15 min off the bench next year!

 

Tanner that is.

 

Tanner's a beast. He'd be great for Hoiberg. Whatever role, Borchardt is on it. Get T-d up, no problem. Bang on the boards, sure thing. Love that dude's spirit and work ethic. #NebraskaStrong

The memory I will carry from this past season is his root canal game. Showed his character right there. That was quite a moment.

Yeah, he definitely balled out for the Big Red that particular night, and many other nights... he was a rock, especially after Cope went down. That Gothenburg dude's a total beast !!!

If Hoiberg comes, does his son transfer here?

As long as it’s not for a scholarship

Jack "Husker" Hoiberg it is. Sorry Izzo, you can't keep a good man down.

Don't think it's quite that simple.   Think there is a vesting period before that takes place

He's a walkon at Michigan St. Pretty sure you can transfer no problem like Malcolm Laws did.

I'm just gonna guess that tuition cost isn't going to be a *problem for the Hoiberg fam.

Yeah, and I said that I don't think paying tuition is gonna be an issue for the Hoiberg clan. It's all good, nu.

You’re probably right... but doesn’t it “vest” in the sense that you have to pay it back if you don’t stick around for x years? I could be wrong...

If I remember right, the individual has to be employed for x amount of years before the reduced tuition is allowed.   It may have changed but that was the rule when the Cotton clan was here.

Just because they have the means to, doesn't mean they should be expected to either.   If his kid can play and is better than what we have, he's worthy of a spot.   The walk-on vs. scholarship debate should be settled based on competition/talent, not the parents financial picture.

If he ends up playing a bunch here I can make a row 14 in the scholarship matrix like the bluejay underground had to when the Jays were smuggling in extra players 

[avfan2121]

Even if tuition was free for someone, they count against the scholarship number as soon as they play in a game (I think). I know in football walk-ons can receive academic scholarships, but they either forfeit those or count against the scholarship number once they play a snap.

I don’t think so. McDermott played as a walk-on for a while up the road.

Just one prime example of shady business at that school...

Paying your way is different that being on something other than an athletic scholarship. I'm not sure what the rules are basketball vs. football in this case, but if you're paying your way, you don't count against scholarship numbers regardless of whether or not you see the field/court.

I never said it "should be" -- merely mentioned the fact that $$ isn't an issue, per se. No need to get all flustered by simple stating facts.

Who is flustered?

[HuskerFever]

This board feels like the week before the start of grade school summer break. All the kids are hyped up, or nervous, or biting at each other with anticipation. Once the bell rings, we can all go out and enjoy the warm weather and the time off.

 

MOOS, JUST TELL US IT'S SUMMER ALREADY!

Responding incessantly seems like someone's flustered. Maybe not. Oh well.
