Gotta haves, portal or otherwise

I would be surprised if Sallis didn't transfer, but why would Traudt?? He knew what he was stepping into, in a spotlight article a couple weeks ago he seemed pretty confident about his place and future role in the program.
 

 

 

 

Allegedly because he's not at all happy there, and he's tight with his girlfriend who plays volleyball at Creighton.

Washut says Sallis and Traudt are names to keep an eye on when the portal opens up

Good to see he is all the way back on his BS

Why???  He is correct as those are names to keep an eye on since could potentially transfer.

Could they potentially transfer? Sure. Would Nebraska be a legitimate option for either? Probably not, maybe Traudt but even saying maybe is a stretch. 

 

Telling Nebraska fans to "keep an eye" on these two is getting people's hopes up for no reason at all. Only reason for Nebraska fans to keep an eye on either is the fact they're both from here.

Tap those brakes. Not saying there's a big reason but there's not no reason.

I'm no pie in the sky guy (hey, that's catchy!), but Traudt is a legitimate possibility. The school where the girlfriend plays volleyball has a couple of guys on the roster at his position, although one or both could leave. We have WB, with Gary more a wing than a 4. Not saying it's likely, but Traudt is a more reasonable speculation than Sallis.

I mean there's only like 17 of us. Not much harm in that.

Hey, we are Nebraska Husker basketball fans; heretofore, hope is all we have had...hope and a prayer I guess.

Washut saying we had Sanogo and Witt, only for both to of them to go somewhere else, still pains me.

I have zero information or sources to back this up, but I just cannot see Hunter Sallis playing for Nebraska. He has some other school or Creighton (if he were to come back) written all over him. Just my gut instinct. 

The comparison of John Tonje to CJ is fairly accurate, but honestly I think Tonje is better. Just my opinion. Just a better "basketball player," imo.

The NDSU guy would be an incredible get. 

This coulda been for us but if you put “NE” behind a kids name they gotta go somewhere else first.

Daaaaaaaaaamn.   That is some impressive explosion.  Funny how that works with most Nebraska kids to your point.

Excellent question. I think for the first time in Hoiberg's tenure here, the list of needs and must-haves is short and manageable. I think we stand a reasonable chance of finding the pieces we need.

 

I stand by this comment.

He ain't coming here. That you can take to the bank. 

 

I may end up eating crow on this. Which I wouldn't mind. 

 

The rumor mill is in full swing.

People would be way too happy to worry about ordering you a batch of crow.

Speaking of the Portal.  Is it going to be a one-way running machine into next season?  With the Success the Huskers have had this year thanks to players we are losing due to graduation...will we keep who's left or are we going to lose anyone? if so...how many? This year is not the same as the last three years.  We don't have a group of hero ball players.

I'd assume that Chucky is staying in Wisconsin but just looking at numbers I'd surmise that Chucky's would look better playing at Nebraska where he wouldn't be taking so many mid-range jumpers.  While you'd like him to have more length I'd assume that his mental game would make him work in whatever defensive scheme we decide to implement next season.

I've learned to never be surprised at departures.  Even the best leave teams looking for greener pastures.  Such is like in the portal/NIL era.  I'd be more surprised if we had 0 portal entries than 1+.  Who that would be though is anyones guess.
