Roby

[Huskerpapa]

I put this under its own title; but Matt can move it under our huskers in the pro's thread if he wishes.

This is interesting on a few issues:

* He still doesn't know his ceiling 

* He still loves his huskers

* His current major weakness

* His strength as a 3-point shooter

* What didn't factor into his decision to become a husker

* The dilemma in deciding on retaining him or letting him go

 

Man, it would have been sweet having him that first year under Fred...but I wonder now if that would have helped or hurt his pro career path?

Enjoy the article.

Imagine if Miles’s 4th place team in 2018 could’ve got that NCAA bid they so richly deserved & went on a Sweet 16 run or better! The team behind them in the standings played in the Title game so that’s hardly far fetched. Would’ve changed the Arc of the entire program….oh well

Instead:

• Judging by actuarial tables and family history, I have between 10 minutes and 45 years left on this mortal coil
• At our current rate of success, Nebraska can be expected to make between 0 and 2 NCAA tournaments in that time frame
• At our historical rate of NCAA Tournament success, Nebraska can be expected to win 0 NCAA tournament games in that time

I am scratching my head trying to figure out the math of whoever wrote this article.

 

"Roby shoots 36-percent from three..."

 

"...ranking in the 93rd percentile for his position on corner threes (50-percent), and 95th percentile on non-corner triples (45-percent), and 98th percentile overall for his position on all three-pointers (46-percent)."

You posted this 47 minutes ago so you have outlived your minimum life expectancy.  I would say you are ahead of the game!

Not sure I agree until he responds to provide evidence he's still with us.

I was going to take the overs.

 

No, really, I was.

Wouldn’t mind him going somewhere he’s more appreciated for what he truly is.

Well, but I have an OKC Thunder pullover. Can't we just get them to appreciate him for what he truly is? I could write a letter, text or email.

They say sixty-five percent of all statistics
Are made up right there on the spot
Eighty-two-point-four percent of people believe 'em
Whether they're accurate statistics or not
I don't know what you believe
But I do know there's no doubt
I need another double-shot of something ninety-proof
I got too much to think about
