Oregon, Arizona St, and Washington all made it. And all three won atleast 1 tourney game.

I guess I stopped paying attention to bracketology after the huskers starting going  I'm assuming then that Utah would have been an NIT team comparable to us right? I guess they decided "Head coach Larry Krystkowiak told the media after that game that Utah will not seek a tournament berth outside the NCAA or NIT."

Thats probably a fair comparison.

 

He's not a highly skilled offensive player but wants a bigger role offensively. Those 3 ppg might not be big to us but could be a big deal to him. Just a thought I was floating around.

That makes since too. One day, hopefully in the not so distant future, I believe that we will be able to get a big man without telling him "all our big men suck/actually we don't have any" but that day still has not come.

I wonder if we will be recruiting many more big men like Jayce Johnson. Seems like we will see more Roby/Copeland like front courts in the future.

 

But I also think Hoiberg is smart enough to know the value of versatile 7'0 250lbs centers. The only problem is they are so rare. He will snag em when he can. But i dont think we use to many scholarships on traditional C body types.

 That’s kind of the way I understand it too.

If he can mess up Matt Haarms' hair, I'll be satisfied.

A Final Four appearance is more likely.  You're destined to live a life of disappointment if you always set the bar that high.

It's nice to know that if we are casting covetous eyes on a player, someone else starts to want them too, for a change..

This one puzzles me. They have both Ed morrow and Theo John already. Johnson would be getting 10-20 minutes a game presumably. Whereas here he could be getting 25-30.

Maybe he has a better 3 ball than Ed?

As Ed progresses to a shooting guard this year it will leave less competition.

Still leading with this guy??  I'm guessing he will be deciding soon since his visit with Marquette is done.

Ed has progressed so far from his significant time on the bench, that he will be a coach soon enough. 

 

 

[thrasher31]

Should hear something today one way or another I think

[hhcmatt]

BTW I think one reason there was a delay in Johnson's decision is because he declared for the draft and possibly was waiting to see if he was invited to the G-League event (he was not)

[Silverbacked1]

When is Utah's school done for the spring session?

[uneblinstu]

Marquette.

 

Who's next up?

Ya win some ya lose some.

 

Id rather have Shamiel Stevenson. More upside and eligibility. Also has the size and length to play the 5.

[thrasher31]

I don't understand the fit at Marquette honestly. Unless Morrow ends up going as a grad transfer. But it is what it is. 

 

Who else?

[Navin R. Johnson]

I'm beginning to think that no matter who the coach is at Nebraska they just can't recruit a big man.

[Handy Johnson]

Ahh... he wasn’t any good anyway (right?) plus he’s stuck playing Creighton twice a year AND living in Milwaukee.

[Huskerpapa]

Bummer!!!

[Norm Peterson]

F-bomb.
