If they got them all, Morgan would be on the outside for minutes. That is what happens on really good teams and I hope we are working to get there. Milicic >>> Morgan in my book and I like Morgan.

I don’t think Morgan is committing to be our 3rd string center.  He could go and start at Minnesota next year.  
 

Neither are bad players, but I don’t see us ending up with all 3 (if Mast is healthy)

People said we need to be more athletic like A&M. Well we just got a little closer.

Hearing good news may be coming on this front.  Hope it's true, stay tuned.

I know a lot of our fanbase thinks the sky is falling and that Fred somehow hasn't earned his extension (yes, there are people saying this). But on April 1, 2023, our Nebraska Basketball scholarship r

If it’s true that Mast is out for next year, then my interest in Milicic goes up quite a bit.   
 

Theres only so many minutes to go around.   And I don’t see these guys coming to split a bunch of time.  But if Mast is out, it’s now a lot easier to rotate Kyle, Igor and Morgan.  

Milicic is 100% the perfect fit for Hoibergs offense, but I agree we only get one more Big and I would prefer Milicic over Morgan and Kyle

Kyle is a perfect 4 in the Big Ten.  Him alongside one of Mast/Igor/Morgan is ideal.

So basically you are saying we aren't getting Igor unless Mast doesn't come back.  Igor seems like a more athletic version of Mast IMO.  Morgan is definitely the most aggressive of the bunch, but as I said somewhere when he committed... Morgan needs to distribute the ball better to work in Hoibergs system

So. Got a playmaking PG, and look to be getting a higher upside wing. Leaves is at 5 scholarships. 

 

If Mast is in fact out the whole year, then getting 2 of the Payne or Kyle (fall in the same bucket for me), hugley, or Igor becomes a necessity. I prefer Kyle and Igor personally, but need to get 2 out of that grouping. 

 

Now if Mast is back, Igor could still work opposite mast. Different play style than Payne or Kyle, but one that can work. He's more mobile, so he can slide to the 4, and you'd have 5 shooters in the starting lineup. We'll see though, because I think Fred prefers one of Payne or Kyle to compliment Mast and Morgan.

Last two seasons Worster has averaged 5+ assists to <2 TO. 
 

That’s a very big deal.  
 

If he can get his 3pt shot above 30% it sure would be nice.  But he gets to the rim really well in P&R and is a deadly passer.  Do-it-all player everywhere else.  5rbs a game from your PG adds up and helps the team a ton in offensive transition. 
 

Great get.  
 

Put 4 other shooters on the court with this kid and it really is pick your poison.

He definitely could but we are apparently paying him a lot more and he likes our Ag program. Plus we are looking like a tourney team. Not saying it is likely but it is a possibility that would be ideal. Probably more likely Mast is out.

I get what you are saying, but I also don't think Boogie Coleman was coming here planning to be the #10 guy on our team...but in the end somebody had to be. Boogie accepted that ri$k because it had a good deal of benefit to him even if he ended up being the 10th/11th man. And in this era of college basketball, it's not hard to imagine some kids would rather take a big pay day and potentially not play than get a few hundred bucks and play a lot. And based on what we're seeing it would appear our NIL game is in very strong shape. 

 

Kyle visiting here a second time can't hurt, but I can't get a good read on that one. Milicic has said he wants to decide after this upcoming weekend. I guess I like the order of how it's playing out. Morgan signed first, but Milicic probably sees plenty of potential to play right now given Mast's risk of missing some/a lot of time, and also not knowing what Kyle plans to do. Then if they're both signed by the time Kyle decides in late April/early May, well you have to figure Kyle still believes he walks in and starts at the 4 on this team. 

 

And then Rienk says I'm good, I'll be ready by November :) 

 

One can dream.

I’m saying I don’t believe that Kyle, Igor, Mast and Morgan will be on the same team playing together.   3 of those guys are seniors.  Those guys can go elsewhere for more minutes or better programs if they want to be a reserve.  Igor makes perfect sense if Mast is out though.

Boogie was also a late in the game pickup up after we lost Ulis.  
 

He commit til August.   A lot different than in mid-April when these guys have other options.

Even if we are paying him more, I have a hard time seeing him come here to sit.   And I have a harder time seeing us paying him a lot to be a 3rd string guy.

Have any of our former players committed anywhere else yet? The only thing I’ve seen was that tweet about who has contacted Eli Rice a few weeks ago 

 

None have committed anywhere yet

That's crazy. Tells me he either desperately wanted to get back home, and/or, he got shown the door (or, at a minimum, was told he wasn't directly a part of the starting/major minutes plans).
