Tom Jones Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 in a win against South Dakota State (who beat #8 USC in NCAA first round), White scored 16 pts with 7 assists and 8 rebounds. mwm89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Don Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 Montana State WBB transfer Darian White (5-6 SR point guard, Boise, ID) has announced her commitment to Nebraska; 2022-23 stats: 14.3 PPG, 5.6 RPG, 3.6 APG; 3x first-team All–Big Sky. 2019 Idaho HS Player of the Year. One year of eligibility remaining! (New Asst Coach Julian Assibey coached Darian White during her first year @ MT St. ) (from the article linked by @Huskerpapa) Quote Nebraska coach Amy Williams said White is a "perfect fit" for the Huskers. "She brings a lot of experience in the guard position," Williams said in a news release. "Not only was she named first-team all-conference on multiple occasions, but she was twice named the defensive player of the year in the Big Sky. We love that she is motivated on both sides of the ball and capable of making everyone around her better." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MontanaHusker Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 (edited) I wonder if the staff is pursuing Kola Bad Bear, a 6-2 forward who is also transferring from Montana State. She would have been coached by Assibey her freshman year and is close with Darian White. I think White will be a contributor. We will see how her play translates at a higher level.

Bugeaters1 Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 What team was it that had the jitter bug guard and everyone was wishing that Nebraska had a guard like that. Maybe they got them one with this transfer. Cazzie22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, it was an attempt at a flippant joke about the team’s (at times) over reliance on 3 pt shots. But you’re right - I have been overly negative on here the last few months. I need to be more aware of that and do better. Peace redsteve and 12dozen 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All About the Corn Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 I can understand taking a point guard. When you are not sure how much you will have Weidner. She could be completely ready to go or could end up like Orr on the VB team. Only now does it appear she maybe finally getting back to her HS level after her ACL. We do need a constant outside shot, plus a proven 4-5. If they are done with the portal then we better hope we have players that step up be it upper class or incoming freshman.

By my count, if Brady and Dillard are truly gone, we still have a couple open scholarships. I sure hope we bring in two more players. Looking ahead, Shelley, Stewart(?), and White will be playing their final year. At a minimum, there will be 3 available spots for the next class. Plus, will Amy's daughter be a walk-on? To me, these numbers would make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, though. Hmm, not entirely sure; however, I do believe Kennedi and other kids who have parents that are employees of the university system (Sam Hoiberg for example)can attend UNL free or highly discounted. Not sure how it works or if it does work in this instance. Just saying it seems possible: Dependent Scholarship Program Pursuant to Section 3.7 of the Bylaws of the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, all University of Nebraska employees who meet the Employee Scholarship Program employment eligibility conditions may elect to transfer all or part of their employee scholarship benefit to their spouse or to their dependent children. The following provisions shall apply to the Dependent Scholarship Program: Definitions Eligibility All regular full-time (1.00 F.T.E.) employees of the University who meet the employment eligibility requirements of the Employee Scholarship Program may transfer up to a total of fifteen (15) credit hours per year (August through July) to their spouse or to any dependent child at tuition equal to the University's resident tuition charge per semester credit hour at the campus of attendance. The Dependent Scholarship Program is only available to an employee's spouse or any dependent child who is an admitted student of a University of Nebraska campus and who has met all normal academic requirements for the course(s) taken. Full-time student enrollment status is required for a dependent child to be eligible, but not for a spouse. An affidavit will be required to document the status of dependent children.

Tom Jones Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 I understand underwhelming. Hard to see her as the propulsion that will rocket us to the top. But look at it this way .... last season the Huskers began with three ball handlers - Haiby, Shelley, and Wiedner. it was going well, but hit a bump when Widener was lost and then another when Haiby went down. Against Kansas it was a weakness exposed. For next season we start with Shelley and a somewhat uncertain Wiedner. Could Hake for Haiby be an even or better than even trade? Probably not, at least not in 23-24. And, as the season goes on, if we lose any guards, the addition of White is going to look really good. And what is the down side? So far as I can see, absolutely none. She fills an otherwise empty chair and, having only one year to play, does not limit the ability to add recruits next year. Overall, I give this transfer two thumbs up. Red Don, Cazzie22, 12dozen and 3 others 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to find a downside to this addition (IMO). mwm89, Neb Nets, HUD and 2 others 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
