This probably deserves its own thread along with the other Nebraska Commitments.

 

Her commitment was originally reported by Bugeaters1 February 2, 2023 in the 2023 Thread )

Does that mean Jazz and Issie will be back ?  That's what the second dillon771  says   :)   doubt it :)

But another experienced Aussie is welcomed !

Probably just the way it is worded.  But whether Issis and Jaz will be returning does seem like the 64 thousand dollar question.

There are a lot of schools across the country in MBB & WBB that I am sure are working hard to get through changes in the rules for NIL money for foreign players.  That could be the difference for us.  We could be pretty good next year if they both return and with the three new freshmen have better depth.

[Cazzie22]

We need both Jaz and Bourne to return.  Otherwise, it’s not going to be pretty next year unless there are some big portal additions. 

[HUD]

Assuming Trinity B. and Naliah D. are both done and Sam's eligibility gone we will still have 2 open scholarships after giving 3 to the incoming freshmen even if everybody else returns.  Will be interesting to see what happens.

Need to hit the portal.

Jessica signed her LOI today.    April 12th is the opening day of the spring signing period.

[HUD]

I watched Jessica play for the under 19 Australian team today in their loss to Spain.  She moves quite well and her strong suits are defense and rebounding.  She also handles the ball well and is an excellent passer. Has a lot of BB knowledge.  Looking forward to seeing her this fall taking up some of Issie's minutes.  

[HUD]

They play again tomorrow at 1:45 CST.  Hopefully they will get off to a better start in the game than they did today.
