Sophomore Joe would've been a tough competitor in like...a hot dog eating contest? Freshman Joe shot a little higher volume and played with a little more pace than his sophomore self, but still not anywhere near the level of talent or athletic ability that Cam has currently. Only thing Joe could ever do efficiently was turn the ball over, whereas Cam has been in the Top 25 in assist-to-turnover ratio for most the season (fell off a bit near the end). The only real comparison between the two is the poor shot selection. But Cam is playing in an uptempo offense where extra possessions are encouraged. Joe just gave zero f*cks. I think Joe was suspended 3 or 4 times for missing team functions, violating rules, and not attending practice before he was ultimately dismissed. The team absolutely despised the guy by that time as he wouldn't ever compete in practice and then eventually just stopped showing-up. He was given a chance to apologize to his teammates and he chose not to. Husker Hoops Penitent 1 Quote
Husker Hoops Penitent Posted March 15, 2020 Report Posted March 15, 2020 Yes, I actually like Mack and think he is affable and coach-able but it appears Hoiberg has moved on with Webster. McCray was an asshole and had he had the common sense God gives an animal would have been a rich man. Quote
royalfan Posted March 15, 2020 Report Posted March 15, 2020 I think there is a better chance Mack is back than most. I go back and forth on what I think is best. If he can make some changes I would rather have him here. I think the staff had to get a potential replacement and Webster is probably a guy that can find 18-20 minutes even if Mack is back.

TourneyBound Posted April 2, 2020 Report Posted April 2, 2020 Cam is either transferring or going to NBA per twitter Quote
49r Posted April 2, 2020 Report Posted April 2, 2020 That should make lots of Husker fans extremely happy. Quote
hhcmatt Posted April 2, 2020 Report Posted April 2, 2020 I assume he'll transfer somewhere closer to home and apply for a hardship waiver khoock and thrasher31 1 1 Quote
khoock Posted April 2, 2020 Report Posted April 2, 2020 An expected attrition is finally official. Best of luck to Mack, he is extremely talented and with the right mindset/attitude can make a very lucrative career out of his skill set. Officially have two 'ships to work with. Quote
dustystehl Posted April 2, 2020 Report Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Is it bad that I hope he DOESN'T get a waiver to play immediately next season? I'm just not sure he deserves it. Haha! Edited April 2, 2020 by dustystehl Quote
AuroranHusker Posted April 2, 2020 Report Posted April 2, 2020 It's completely expected. And NU wanting to upgrade at guard probably didn't help Cam's situation, which was already tenuous with behavioral issues. Quote

khoock Posted April 2, 2020 Report Posted April 2, 2020 If it wouldve worked out with Mack, I think we would have been sneaky good next year. Still think we will be much improved next year and am excited to work with the pieces we have moving forward. Fullbacksympathy and Handy Johnson 2 Quote
hhcmatt Posted April 2, 2020 Report Posted April 2, 2020 I am assigning about the same about of blame to the coaching staff about Mack and Burke, two starters with eligibility, transferring out as I did with Ed Morrow and Michael Jacobson. Nebrasketball1979 and Handy Johnson 2 Quote
colhusker Posted April 2, 2020 Report Posted April 2, 2020 Hope he finds a place where being things like on time to team meetings, making curfew and whatever team rule he thought he was above are not enforced. throwback and hal9000 2 Quote
jason2486 Posted April 2, 2020 Report Posted April 2, 2020 Damn, what a sad way to end things. He could've been the best offensive point guard in our history with the right mindset. Hope he figures things out and that his family situation gets settled. Quote

Really? In year 2 of his tenure? I think we'll have a more complete roster next season than any year under TM and wildly improved defensively. I suppose I don't remember enough about who we had waiting in the wings when Morrow and Jacobson left, but I thought Morrow leaving was an enormous disappointment. Jacobson's senior numbers were pretty much on par with his sophomore numbers. Morrow just got injured at Marquette, but he was a good player when healthy. Morrow should've been a double double guy for us at the 4 his junior year. Quote
Fullbacksympathy Posted April 2, 2020 Report Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Well we just improved massively on the defensive end and off the court with our world beater 6'8" freakshow at point, Delano Banton. Also calling it now: Kobe Webster is a better all around player than Mack. Edited April 2, 2020 by LK1 Quote

Ah yes. Roby should've gotten MJ's minutes before MJ transferred. He was already better than MJ as a TFr. My problem was always playing Morrow at the 5. MJ would've been a much better backup at the 5 with Morrow starting at the 4. I never understood Morrow at the 5 sharing minutes with Jordy. My thing with Fred is it's very likely we'll be 2-deep at every spot next season with good-maybe-not-great players. We should be very competitive. Quote

I mostly agree with this though I don't really think Fred mismanaged anyone like Tim did with Morrow playing the 5. No way Burke starts over Kobe King. Highly doubt Mack would've started over Banton. Maybe Webster, but Webster is a scorer. Quote
