I'm not certain Griffiths can't be a stretch 4. I'd guess he'll roll out at about 210 next year, so two inches taller and 10lbs lighter than Gary with the same athleticism. But... Worster/Ulis Essegian/Janowski Williams/ Gary/Griffiths Meah/Morgan That's 9 deep already and probably another tourney team. The recruiting has been amazing.

Think we are going after a 4 man either way. Then it is just a matter of if we hold the last ship or give it to a young development big like the Juco guy mentioned before. Brice actually played the 4 last year in some lineups. So if we get a good one plus Gary with Bruce filling in should be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our ranking reflects transfers out who weren't particularly productive, as well as our transfers in. 247 just counts who you got.

No one brought up the possible knee surgery and maybe it was the alcohol but I have it on good authority that two students approached him at a bar and asked and his response was that he was definitely coming back next year.

Not to get into semantics, but "definitely coming back next year" is not the same as will be playing next year. I would "definitely come back" too if I needed knee surgery and could have DONU pay for it. cornfed24-7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve read about the knee possibility numerous times. I’ve assumed it was true since we signed 2 post guys this spring already. I’m sure the coaches have known it was likely.

B-town hoopsfan Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 Have the people who think Gary can’t play the 4 just not watched husker basketball the last 2 years or ? unless we really strike a diamond in the rough he’s gonna be the 4 and Morgan is going to be the starting 5 next year.
