Would have underlying effects here in the future. The NLI thing I don't love though

 

Looks like they listened to Norm. He's been beating the drum about getting that 5th year for a couple of years now.

Personally not a huge fan of giving blanket 5th years.  But I don't understand why there isn't some sort of redshirt rule in CBB like there is for the 4 games in CFB.  Would seem that there should be some sort of acceptance there.

In the proposal, they're looking to issue a similar redshirt structure to all sports that they have for football. like you said, that's needed

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Would benefit our volleyball team as well. Tough decisions across the board

Agree.  You play 1 second or 1 play in any other sport and you burn a redshirt.  I don't know what the supporting argument is/was for the football rule, but it seems patently unfair to every non-football athlete.  I also wonder if there aren't any Title IX issues for the female athletes.

Nobody has ever blown a year of eligibility for just one minute of playing time.... except for:

A kid from Gothenburg. Dude transformed himself. Tanner Borchardt. I think he had a game in his final season with 20 rebounds, as I recall. For that 2018-19 season, I think he had more offensive rebounds than defensive rebounds. By the way, he tried out for the team as a FROSH, basically left the program after that year, then was coaxed back in February of his SOPH season, and T.B. eventually made an impact on a fairly good roster overall. I loved that guy's story of resilience and persistence for the Big Red: a 6'-8" 250# power forward who wore #20. He probably deserved another season, huh?

Updated measurables today:

https://huskers.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster

Janowksi  6'4" 208.  Thought he looked bigger than his previously listed 6'3" 190.

Juwan up to 226 lbs.

Frager  6'7" 220.

Griffiths shrunk an inch.  6'7"

Rollie  6'5" 210. Big point guard.

Meah  7'1"  264. 

Was hoping Henry Burt grew another 3 inches this offseason. Still 6'7", unfortunately.

[hhcmatt]

Meah's listed weight is up 14.

Mast's listed weight is up 12.

Nebraska has 11 transfers from other Div. 1 college basketball programs, and that number doesn't include Justin Bolis (transferring from SE CC).

 

And the 17 players (incl. walk-ons) on the roster hail from 10 different states and 3 different countries.

[thrasher31]

 

 

Haven't talked a ton about him, but anything he can provide this year will be a win. He may be needed if one of Berke, Morgan, or meah miss time. Long term wise, I just hope he develops. Would love to see a Lincoln kid succeed

Justin saying all the right things in a genuine kind of way.  Seems like a thoughtful young man with a good head on his shoulders.

He was the “Glue” on Miles 6 Man Squad that made a Run in the B1G Tournament.

Johnny Trueblood was a dude, out of nowhere.

Looks like the full schedule will come out today!

We should get the tip off time for the Sioux Falls game as well.

We have practice clips!

The season is upon us.

It’s nice to think that we have a good enough roster that “First Four Out” from Lunardi projections is now bulletin board material.  
 

I really think our group is the conference dark horse to win the thing.  There’s no reason we won’t be better than last season from a talent perspective.  I expect we’ll spend some time this season ranked.
