This whole free agency period of present-day hoops & football specifically almost ruins the experience, it certainly makes it a challenge to have any sort of continuity.... man oh man!

Never under estimate Just For Men. It’s carried Underwood this far. I’m sure they’ll be good again next year.

For some reason this post made me think of Lou Henson.  Man, the Big Ten has had some epic hair in its history!

Is this a Terrance Shannon joke.

So, you say we need a point guard?

As long as we don’t lose any of the HHC faithful to the portal I will be happy. I would miss any of you.

I'm sorry, Sliver. I'd just like to announce that I'm taking my lack of talent to.......um, my living room. I'd like to thank my bedroom for the last two years of support and love. I really felt like a welcome part of this house, but, sadly, my future opportunities lie elsewhere towards the front of the house.

Really, Dain Dainja is leaving a team that played him down the stretch significant minutes.... that's weird. It's free agency, I suppose....

I’d be kinda shocked if he lands on a more prominent team than Illinois but then again what do I know.

He was rumored to portal for a while. Him and ty Rodgers can't really play together in the front court, and dains minutes all year fluctuated. He's always had talent though.

Dain Dainja just entered from Illinois. Could be an upgrade from Kieta??? 

 

Derrick Walker's worst game of his senior year was against Dainja, DW couldn't get anything done against him.

Lest we not forget about Gene Keady's literal killer combover.  Worth every penny of the $600 per month in maintenance costs.

There's a few outliers I wouldn't mind shippin' off to Siberia. I kid, I kid. Not you, Sliver.

I know his bro Josh was a CU dude, still it surprised me that Josiah wanted to stay in Omaha, since a sustained, long-term Big East opportunity isn't really there for J.D., generally...maybe he proves me wrong, but I just didn't see it tbh.

WTH is going on?

[hskr4life]

The portal giveth and the portal taketh away.  So far it’s taken a lot.

[millerhusker]

Damn. I did not expect that. 

Maybe just trying to inject some optimism here but Chucky's dad's tone on twitter has changed from recruiting the BW players to Wisconsin to "Fortunately for Husker fans I don't make the decision, he does."

I'm hoping they want Omoruyi more.
