Frager is pretty built as expected, but bollis is also very built. Berke and mast are about the same height as it's been said.

Andrew Morgan, Berke, and Rienk are all listed at 6'-10" on the roster.

This is the team photo right here that goes down in history and will be framed in all of our man caves for years to come.

We have so much length this season that Juwan Gary got bumped from the back row to a chair with the guards

I noticed that too. Think Berke and Morgan are slightly bigger than Mast

Not sure if this is the right thread for this question… but can someone give me some more insight on “what Ulis is?” What kinda of player are we expecting here? What do his previous stats say? 
 

Watching him the scrimmage I can’t say I got a great handle on what to expect from him.

Since he's been away from the game for a year, I join you in wondering what to expect.  Recalling his days at Iowa are hazy; but he seemed to be a good defender.  Iowa played good team ball and his role seemed to be to penetrate and kick to shooters.  His perimeter game was average to mediocre.  

I'm hoping that in his year with Fred, his perimeter game has improved; but we shall see.  Will he be a Boogie Coleman clone???

[Serenity Now]

No, he won’t be a Boogie Coleman clone. He’ll be a much more productive bench player. Good defender, much better facilitator, no question.

He'll be asked to get out and run in all likelihood. Be a pace pusher basically. I remember him being adequate at Iowa, just not great. I wouldn't expect much shooting from the perimeter, maybe a 3 a game, but he should be able to drive into the paint at a good rate. He also has familiarity with the offense, so in games worster struggles, he can probably step in.

My diehard Iowa basketball friend says this about Uhlis

”he’s a solid, big ten guard. Isn’t flashy, won’t make spectacular plays but will not hurt you. Good defender on the ball. Steady player.”

Heres this if anyone wants to read a vastly uneducated writer write about our team.

"That leaves Nebraska bereft of size, with 6-10 Andrew Morgan the only expected contributor taller than 6-8" 

Apparently Berke and Meah are no longer on the team .

Oh well, I actually enjoy them being the underdogs again

We've also apparently added a transfer named "Ahron Elis" who can "fill it up." 

 

So, yay?

Indiana is 64-73 in the Big Ten in the last 7 years since Tom Crean and has made the NCAA Tournament just twice. And yet every year is gonna be "the year" because of the new players they bring in. 

 

However, I suppose this must be what people think of Nebraska football fans. 

 

Still, Mike Woodson still coaching there? Thought so. Edge: Nebraska

C'mon, this is Sports Illustrated. Probably an AI-generated article written by an AI-generated writer!

I give it three weeks before the Ballo hype fades away. Ware > Ballo. Especially in that system next to Reneau in the frontcourt.

Ware was a problem.

We can now officially put this "preseason" thread to bed.  The regular season is here and it's time for games that actually count.  Tonight can't get here fast enough.
