This also applies to football. Can’t wait for that first Husker B1G Conference game at Pauley Pavilion, but it’s about time we started making it more difficult for THEM to face us, instead of being the whipping boy in Men’s Sports… cornfed24-7 and Five 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demone Posted March 26, 2023 Report Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) I am slowly coming to grips with the idea that the team from up northeast is going to the Final Four and has a legit shot at the National Championship. It makes me physically ill to admit it and how I will react should it actually happen is anyone's guess. But, it is definitely possible. I have a continual fight going on inside me with Nebraska basketball. On one hand and my overriding desire: I want a program. I want a consistent top 25 program, year in and year out, which requires patience and a builder's mentality. On the other hand, I see an FAU, K State, etc. that make these amazing 1-year runs and can't fathom how much fun that would be. My question - if you don't already have a consistent program in place, is it even possible to build one in today's free agent world? My guess is no.

My guess is no. Why not? You don't need to recruit an entire basketball program. Get A couple game changer players via NIL commitments and you have a shot. Is it sustainable? I'd have to refer to the AD experts for ROI. Handy Johnson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of their kids are typical recruits. Each year they add a handful of transfers that fill a need they have on their roster. Baylor is their only high impact transfer and Farabello is a role player that doesn’t add much at all to their offense. Their transfers fit into their team concept so it works. When I look at our roster, we have some good pieces and it seems like our kids really buy into what the current staff wants to do. If we can secure a big and a point guard that are good fits, we could have a pretty darn good year. Especially if the OOC is more reasonable. cornfed24-7 and Handy Johnson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - however, Creighton was already a consistent winning program before free agency. Culture established, style of play established, expectations established, etc. Can it be done? Anything is possible, but I submit the odds are not great. While a 1-year flash would be fun and amazing and I would cheer them on regardless, I define a successful program by years of consistently winning.
