Honest question: True Freshmen vs. Redshirt Sophomores

[TomEadesSucks]

I wonder if the scout team is still beating the starting 5 consistantly, or if that was earlier in the season. If our scout team is still putting the hurt on the starters (who have turned into a pretty salty bunch) that is very encouraging news for next season.

The LJS ran this story back in November or December. The basic gist of it was that the core trio of Petteway, Biggs and Pitchford routinely gives the starters fits in practice and often beats them. This isn't hard to believe given the caliber of our starters. Also, the Mac Irvine Fire split games 1-1 against our starting five back in the summer, and that's a high school AAU team, albeit a damned salty one with arguably the nation's top player.

Okay, who are you, and does nustudent know you've stolen his password?  

 

I needed a good laugh 49r and you provided it.  Thanks.

 

On a serious note, I don't know if I have encountered anyone who isn't optimistic about the future of Nebraska basketball since we've gotten to know Miles and company.  Can't wait to see the squad next year.

It may be a false rumor, but I heard today that the group of Vooch, Biggs, Pitchford, Petteway and Tyrance consistantly beat the current starters in scrimmages.  Now, the guy who told me this may have been blowing smoke up my arse, but I am just conveying what he said.

Don't think it's a false rumor.   If it is...it's very well done.

Please explain.  I take it you've heard this from others also?

From a few people.   Two of which are pretty well connected.

Gotcha.  Thanks for explaining.

I've always said on here I was positive if I was given a reason to be.
