These guys were on a team that won 7 games and honestly they may have potential, but arent game changers. If this was a bubble team than maybe but at this point its no loss in my opionion. Agree on Green and Burke. Disagree on Mack. He is a top level PG, but obviously might be addition by subtraction at this point considering all the issues he has had. It will be interesting to see how these end of the season meetings go. Husker Hoops Penitent 1 Quote

Is Mack really that big of a loss in all reality? Yeah he has flashes and potential but is an avg shooter, horrible ft shooter, good passer, lots of drama.

At some point we will have to cut our losses. He could be a really good player but it's not like we will be missing out on a lottery pick. Quote
hskr4life Posted March 7, 2020 Report Posted March 7, 2020 Can say I’m officially done with Mack. Positives don’t outweigh the negatives. Brings the team down unfortunately. Lots of potential, lot to learn. Problem is he hasn’t learned in 5 separate occasions this year. Husker Hoops Penitent and thrasher31 1 1 Quote

His history speaks for itself but he's older for one, he's going to be closer to boy's town which is a big deal to him, and Fred didn't really have a choice but to take Mack in with their PG situation coming into the year, Teddy he had a choice to take him in or not. I ultimately trust Fred's judgement here, if he or Matt A thought it wouldn't work out they would've cut bait by now in my eyes Edited March 7, 2020 by thrasher31 Red Don and Cazzie22 2 Quote

Well if we had an average team even he probably sets the program record for single season assists this year. I think he likely won’t be here next year too with his most recent issues. Really starting to think although next years team will be better it’s still not gonna be even an NCAA bubble team. Husker Hoops Penitent 1 Quote

We very much could have rolled with MAW who looks at least serviceable at Cincy this year I'd have to look at the timeline for that. Forgot about MAW, but I believe they cut bait early after Fred was hired. Just checked. MAW decommited on the 4th of April, about a week after Fred was hired on. Whether or not that was Fred's doing or not is up for debate. Cam didn't decommit from SJU until the 6th, and didn't commit here until later that month. Would've loved to have MAW, I was a big of fan of his as any, but Fred saw something different. Also took in Samari as sort of a backup to Mack, and we saw how that went. It lasted barely 2 months.

AuroranHusker Posted March 8, 2020 Report Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) Seems doubtful Fred Hoiberg & Co. has given up on Cam Mack. I think that if that were the case (i.e. "giving up"), Mack would already be gone. Edited March 8, 2020 by AuroranHusker Quote

Season will be over in less than a week and I’ll be interested to see what happens then. thrasher31 1 Quote
BannedAccount Posted March 8, 2020 Report Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) Mack was chirping back at fans on twitter but has since deleted or told to delete the tweets. Not a good look Edited March 8, 2020 by coughunter thrasher31 1 Quote

Not a good look At some point you just have to learn. It’s unfortunate because there is so much talent there. Were people tweeting directly at him on Twitter? That isn’t right but still Cam has to take the high road. After being suspended twice, I thought he would be a golden child and not even put a toe out of line. Again this last Thursday I figured he’d finally get it turned around. I seriously hope he does get it turned around, but I doubt that it’ll be here. Edited March 8, 2020 by hskr4life Quote

We went and visited everyone but MAW so not really debatable. It's fine if we didn't think MAW was going to be our guy here and eventually got Mack but to say that we 'had to take Mack' is absurd as he would have been Matt A's PG at St Johns if he was still there. thrasher31 1 Quote

Which is completely fair, I was implying that there weren't many options at that point in time after MAW left, Mack was the most logical guy to run PG for us this year. I see what you're saying though completely Quote
