And another interesting fact was that Connor Essegian made 69 (if I heard him correctly) threes his freshman year. That's impressive!

 

Just to put that in perspective, Keisei made 76 as a 5th year senior

You heard him correctly.   I paid close attention, since that's my favorite number.

Mine too! For the obvious reasons, but also it is just a good looking number! The mirrored semetry of the 6 and 9 is just pleasing to the eyes. That and 13. I ALWAYS picked 13 or 69 for my jerseys if they were available. And all my video game players are one of those two #'s

[49r]

I think 49 is a pretty cool number.

No. 1 would be pretty cool to achieve in 2025. The first NCAA win, that is. And #1 Sam Hoiberg hits the game-winning shot.

I think we’re underselling how big of a team we’re gonna be next year. Especially at the guard/wing spots.

I expect to see the rest of the B1G lamenting our "mickey mouse defense" again.  With all that length, I highly doubt we'll run a straight man-to-man other than in the final 5 seconds of the shot clock.

I hope we don’t switch to man in the last five seconds of the shot clock, if that’s what we did last year. It felt like we gave up a lot of late shot clock baskets after good defensive possessions.

Should be the best rebounding and shot blocking team Hoiberg has rolled out here 

[millerhusker]

If everyone was healthy and available, who wins a round robin with these three groups?

 

PG – Rollie Worster

G – Sam Hoiberg

W – Braden Frager

F – Juwan Gary

C – Andrew Morgan

 

PG – Ahron Ulis 

G – Nick Janowski

W – Gavin Griffiths

F – Justin Bolis

C – Rienk Mast

 

G – Cale Jacobson

SG – Connor Essegian

W – Brice Williams

F – Berke Buyuktuncel

C – Braxton Meah

Group two I think is a notch below the others. Group 3 having brice to handle some PG duties along with rim protection puts them just a bit above Group 1

Hmm, my mind isn't as sharp as it should be; I don't recall Rollie having an issue...

Believe this is in reference to the leg injury that caused him to miss that 2nd half of last season.

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Of those three groups, the bottom group would fare the best imo. Have size and scoring, Brice’s ability and their walk on, Cale, has experience and is capable. 

[AGHANSEN]

 

[AGHANSEN]

Another one!

 

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Early notes:

 

Rollie has established himself, along with Juwan, as a vocal leader. That isnt surprising.

 

Showed better than average ability to defend on the perimeter.

 

Taller than expected. Appears 6’5” Not much difference between Rollie and Brice height wise. 

 

Meah is head and shoulders taller than anybody else. Dunking any and everything around the rim.

Fluid for his size.

 

Morgan may be the sleeper of the offseason. Showing some nice post moves, pretty mobile as well.

 

If Nick Janowski doesn’t see the court, wow. Absolute beast mentality. Relentless. High energy. Elite shooting ability. 
 

Connor is an elite shooter. 
 

Gavin can be special, shows flashes at times but also still needs some seasoning. 
 

People probably have overlooked the role of Cale. Brings experience and could be called on for his versatility and defensive fouls. Heady player. 
 

That is all for now. Everyone have a great 4th of July!!!

How does Wooster compare with Sam Griesel? Similar players/athletes?

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Rollie is sneaky athletic.  Wouldn’t compare him to Sam G. Sam had a lot of length and long strides, I’d think Rollie will be more than OK in conference play defensively.
