Minnesota_Husker Posted March 19, 2021 Report Posted March 19, 2021 I know we are joking but there is no comparison between Shang and Diaz and what they did for Nebraska basketball. Diaz is still one of (one of - don't go overboard there) the most skilled and fundamentally sound back to the basket players in Husker hoops history.Except for when he had to leave his feet....Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

You could argue that he was polite to the rim and didn't want to hurt it... ...but then you watch this season, where we've likely missed 10+ dunks and you dream of having a JBD soft shooter. basketballjones 1 Quote

jimmykc Posted March 19, 2021 Author Report Posted March 19, 2021 Please note that Shang Ping (a.k.a. Eric Shang) had a fairly good pro career, becoming the first Chinese player to play in a European basketball league, and acquiring the nickname "The Beast". Maybe Dead Dog was right to venture out on that ledge. Quote

I've never understood the casual Husker fan's attitude towards Jorge. My KU fan friends respected the hell out of him. They watched him school Cole Aldrich on more than one occasion.

aphilso1 Posted March 19, 2021 Report Posted March 19, 2021 JBD committed the cardinal sin of not being the second coming of Aleks Maric. Had Diaz played for the Huskers anytime other than he did, the fan base would have appreciated him much more. Silverbacked1 1 Quote

My buddy worked for them in the 80’s & said the Box was by far & away the most expensive item for them to cover. The pizza was 13 cents & they could give the Pop away. HuskerFever 1 Quote

Here's the deal: I don't know if I have bad information or not so me dropping a name here is an exercise in starting an unverified rumor. I'm also waiting and I'm not searching it out because in this sort of deal I personally believe if someone has played for us they've at least earn the right to break their own news on something like this. Then the question is: why would I say anything at all. The point is to indicate that I think we'll have another scholarship available. I'm not asking you to give specific names, but have you heard anything further about whether our current attrition is likely over? Just curious if there are still a couple players mulling over their options, or if everyone that's left is planning on sticking around. Quote

Huskerpapa Posted March 26, 2021 Report Posted March 26, 2021 My best guess based on a smattering of information. One individual that many of us really like is exploring certain options. If those options are not satisfactory, then he will welcomed back to N. Nothing positive...just some piecemeal information that I pass along. Quote

All signs point to Banton staying. I have no idea on Thor. So disappointing. I had super high hopes for him. Never found his role... I worry that's his problem overall, he just doesn't have a role. Just not good enough at one or two things to showcase him, but good enough at a lot of different things you try to. But it doesn't work. Banton needs to stay. Time for him to develop and grow, not look for the easy way out. It will pay dividends for him to stay. And as much as I appreciate him and what he started to do at the end of the year, I'm totally fine with Thor moving on. It's just time.

Huskerpapa Posted April 7, 2021 Report Posted April 7, 2021 The only things I heard on Thor is that he is welcome to return but he is "researching" opportunities that influences his ultimate decision. Quote
