Just a brutal offseason for Ben Johnson thus far

 

Almost as surprising as the amount of success the Gophs had this last season.  Really thought they were on the come up but now IDK.

 Also keep a look out for Baba Miller. 

 

He comes to Nebraska.  He has no choice. The musical prowess of this board draws him...

That was not surprising to me. I thought they should have been better, they had a lot of talent. Don’t think he did a real good job coaching them up IMO.

Actually, Teenage Wasteland would explain why so few coaches are recruiting high schools.

Outside of Dawson Garcia they didn’t have much talent.

Ben did a tremendous job to get them to win some games and be competitive. Not elite level coaching but seemed to get some buy in.

I think NIL is killing the gophers

They know the rumor that Nebraska is just a whole bunch of cornfields is actually true.

 

And 7/11's if I remember that statement correctly from a Xavier basketball player.

Man I guess we will just disagree. Besides Garcia, Hawkins is a very good PG who led the league in assists and shoots it decent. He will be in high demand in the portal. Christie is projected as an NBA draft pick this year. Lots of big names are after Payne and we saw how good he is. Their 5th starter Mitchell is a 40% 3 point shooter. That is a very talented starting 5 and they had 3 nice energy guys off the bench. Should have been a tourney team IMO

Kyle visiting UCLA is odd as they have 2 transfer PF types already (ranked higher than Kyle) and a young C they like.

Maybe leverage to drive up his NIL value?

He thinks his pro future is on the wing?

Judging from his interviews, he knows better than that.

Can tell what little he knows.  There hasn't been a 7/11 here since the 90s.

The quote goes back to the 80's, I think.  Xavier was in the NCAA tournament that Lincoln was hosting. Can any veterans on the board back me up on this?

The year was 1988 when Xavier played Kansas in the first round.

[hhcmatt]

Nebraska playing Texas A&M likely was part of the reason CJ ended up there as he would have been scouted by them as part of that process and they obviously liked what they saw

Xavier actually practiced in the Pius gym the day before their game. They were not too popular at BDSC when they entered.

ah ok...then yeah that would make sense.  There were almost as many 7-11's in Nebraska as there were corn fields back in the 80s.

Wonder what happened at the end of the season for him.  Averaged 15 pts/game but had just 23 total points in the last 5.

Game looks like it'll fit. Had a drop in efficiency with an increase in volume this last year. But he can shoot and looks to be effective at pulling down ORB

Sounds right. Didn't you go to those games? Like Jimmy said, it didn't make Xavier very popular with the BDSC crowd.

I like the pick and pop action with him.  Not the most explosive kid but skilled for his size. Wonder how well he can defend the paint and perimeter.

Yep, I was there. Great atmosphere and some pretty good basketball. I hope Lincoln is able to host again in the near future.

I went with some friends. I remember a 6’ 10”forward from Pitt or Maryland, Smith, I think. Also, I think K State was there, Blackwell played for them,I believe. What I remember the most were those damn basket extensions that came down from the ceiling. I sat right where it block my view some.
