TheGov21 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 Haven't seen this talked about it, so I thought I'd share it. http://www.omaha.com/article/20121011/HUSKERS/710119859/1002#point-guard-position-remains-up-in-the-air-for-huskers Basically talking about how they still don't know if he's going to redshirt or not. Also talks about the PG situation and the new walk on. Quote
SittinOnThatDallasMaverick Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 We need you BIGGS! We believe you can do big things her in HuskerNation! Make the right choice my man Quote
CornHoopsters Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 If Miles can continue to recruit like he has, I don't have a problem with Biggs NOT taking a redshirt this year and playing. Even though this season doesn't look all that promising you never know. Let's shock the world!! Ok, let's not finish 12th in the B1G. GATA! SittinOnThatDallasMaverick 1 Quote
kldm64 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 I hope Biggs plays as makes more sense to play him than to sit him this year. Quote
trickey Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 It seems to me that Biggs is holding out hope that Akoy changes his mind...in which case he would definately want to sit out the year waiting for his buddy, so they have 2 years together. Early signing period starts 11/14...if Akoy signs with Louisville, I expect Biggs may decide to play right now. Quote
kldm64 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 I'm not sure Agau factors into his decision or not. There is a better than average chance that Biggs would be starting PG this year whereas if he wants and redshirts this year, there's also a good chance he might be in a backup role off the bench for his two seasons of eligibility. To me, that would be enough for him to want to play. I know MIles said he wants to play him so hopefully the coach will end up winning out. Quote
TheKamdyMan Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 If I am him I would want to play this year. Yes next year should be a better team overall but here is my thinking. With a freshman pg this year he will get a lot of playing time presumably as well as the juco walk-on and Gallegos also helping at the point. Thats not a ton of talent at the position you need to go up against. Now if you wait a year you then have a SR in Gallegos whose played more, the walk-on seasoned possibly, the freshman will have earned some time, and then you bring in Webster and Hawkins. If you hold out youre an unproven commodity fighting more people for playing time. Could be he just wants to be apart of a better team for two year but the competitive side in me would want an easier shot to start as well as not having to sit a year. Quote

HuskerFever Posted October 13, 2012 Report Posted October 13, 2012 He will be a good player for us. No point in wasting a year of eligibility as this season will be a wash. Redshirt. If he gets any sort of advice from Rayes (or Ray, as he seems to go by now), I think we'll see Biggs taking a redshirt. Quote
huskerhook Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 Webster's arrival really changes things. By playing this year Biggs has a chance to establish himself a little. If he waits and Webster turns out to be the player everyone thinks he can be then Biggs will be on an equal playing field with him. I thought he would shirt but I think he plays now. TheGov21 1 Quote

If our two best players next year happen to play the same position, I don't think this will limit their playing time. Miles was playing 4 guards last year so he doesn't seem a slave to having a traditional PG, SG, SF, PF, C lineup. Quote

I dont think it really change's Bigg's situation at all. Bigg's knows this year is going to be a tough situation to play in, next year the team will have alot better depth and more athletes. I think he'll redshirt in hopes of next year's greener pastures. Plus Webster is projected more as a shooting guard, they will most certainly see the court at the same time. TheGov21 1 Quote

Dicemanhusker Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 I agree 100%. His lineup will be anything but traditional. Length will find the floor for defense & rebounding however. 2 players I don't see playing a lot together are Biggs & Parker. It's hard to be effective defensively with 2 guys that short on the floor together. Quote
