Yes, because someone said he was.

In another thread someone said Nebraska has had a huge let down this off-season following a great year.

Maybe we're both right and the poster of the statements we disagree with don't know thier ass from a hole in the ground. 

*PLOT TWIST* Maybe only one of you or I are right...I wonder which one?

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.  

It’s not that I don’t think he can, but he is undersized there against most teams. Just like I don’t think Brice can’t play point guard, but I’m glad he’s gonna get a season to focus on playing off the ball.

And we weren’t real deep in the front court either.   We need two.   

You were telling me before we would never get good portal guys to come here as backups and now you want 5 guys at the 4/5? I would actually love it too but I will feel great if we get 1 more good one. That would make 2 transfers who don’t start at least and probably 3 as either GG or CE (maybe both) will come off the bench. That’s plenty of depth IMO

 

Plus the juco kid might work in emergency minutes.

The more highlights I watch the more Meah impresses me. Listen to the commentators on his improvement, game effort and "measurables". I think he may be a gem. That said, Hoiberg needs to find a stretch four to offset the loss of Mast, and a dynamic scorer on the wing would be nice as well. Does anyone have any inside information on who NU may be chasing at this time (if anyone)?

An NU defensive presence in the post will be a sight for sore eyes, can't wait to see Meah in the middle.

He’s a Monster, we’re going to punish people with our size, then Dagger them with the 3 Ball…!

He's also had the experience of going up against Oumar Ballo. That could be big when we play Indiana.

Love seeing Allick as a GA working w Meah.  Meah looks like he's been in the weight room too.  Gentle giant.  Gotta get him mean on the court.  Love this pickup.

Braxton seems to move pretty well !

UConn had that dude Samson Johnson who would come in for 10-15 minutes and basically dunk the ball, grab a few boards, block a few shots and make a few fouls.  

 

At worst, Meah can offer that for us. He is an explosive jumper for his size. Worster is an elite passer. I can see a couple pick and roll lob dunks coming every game. 

 

I like this addition a lot, assuming he is not in our starting lineup. 

Welp, I’m not completely embarrassed by my take a year ago. Glad I wasn’t totally buying the Meah koolaid. Worster was not in fact an “elite passer” though.

To be fair to Worster, outside of Brice and Juwan, who did most of their work with the ball in their hands, Raleigh didn’t really have anybody to pass it too

[Huskerpapa]

I am rarely critical of Fred and the staff.  That said, I am critical about the recruitment, and more so, use of Braxton.  It is easy to pick on Meah; but we knew, or should have known what his skills were.  We tried to fit a square peg into a round hole with him.  His skills simply did not fit into our schemes and we never, ever adjusted.

As we recruit for this coming season, we MUST solicit players who can fit culturally and schemantically.   If we don't, then the staff has to adjust much better than this season.

We either need to be a team that has 3 Meahs or 0 Meahs though from this season we're obviously a 0 Meah team.

They scored about 40% of our points. Ulis got assists at higher rate with the same supporting cast.

And that’s why we’re 17-14 and missed the Big Ten Tournament

I know some are not that fond of Meah, but him missing playing time in the last month, I feel made a difference in our defense.
