cipsucks Posted April 21 Report Posted April 21 (edited) It's interesting we have picked up two transfers from the conference, and lost one to another conference school. With the B1G now at 18 teams, it doesn't seem to be a big deal to lose a player to another conference school. That is unless you're Rutgers. Many of their fans are bitter Griffiths came to Nebraska. Essegian will thrive here, just like Griffiths. GBR! Edited April 21 by cipsucks Cazzie22, hhcmatt and Silverbacked1 1 2 Quote

huskercabby Posted April 21 Report Posted April 21 I’m sure hoping we land somebody who averaged in double figures last year before we’re done. Oh, well! We’re checking the box for elite athleticism, though. Quote

Combination of an early season injury plus guys getting ahead of him in the rotation. Decent chance we landed one of those guys who just needs playing time. Quote

hhcmatt Posted April 22 Author Report Posted April 22 Pleasantly surprised by the rebounding rates from Essigian over the last couple of years. Will easily be a plus over Keisei or CJ in that department. Not entirely sure what Griffiths brings in that department because of how dominant Cliff was there.

Fullbacksympathy Posted April 22 Report Posted April 22 Essegian isn’t a specialist. He’s an all around player. Tough to do anything well with an injured back. Assuming he’s 100% to begin next season we just got an absolute steal and a definite contender to start at the 2. Either way, if healthy, I expect a huge contribution, and we’ll have him for a couple years. lang, No Place Like the Vault, millerhusker and 1 other 4 Quote

It looks like his rebounding picked up with his shooting when he started getting regular minutes the last 7 games. 3-6 boards a game, think that will improve as he gets stronger. Looks like maybe the light went on for him at the end of the season, excited to see what he brings HuscurAdam 1 Quote
