And yes I understand that players are not generally released to another team within the same conference.  Just throwing it out there.

From his bio on FIGHTINGILLINI.COM:

 

2011-12 FRESHMAN: Played in 17 games on the season, totaling five points ... Saw first career action in opener vs. Loyola Chicago (Nov. 11) ... Grabbed first career rebound vs. SIU Edwardsville (Nov. 14) ... Had two rebounds vs. Lipscomb (Nov. 17) ... Scored three points in a career-high 13 minutes vs. Chicago State (Nov. 27) ... Hit a free throw and took a charge in 12 minutes vs. Gonzaga (Dec. 3) ... Had two rebounds at Nebraska (Feb. 18).

 

They didn't have anything posted about his Soph season yet, but he obviously didn't redshirt.

[Norm Peterson]

Obviously, he should have redshirted his first season so that he could transfer and burn his sophomore year ...

sounds like Groce is cleaning house this morning.

[Cookie Belcher]

Langford is transferring from Illinois too.  Opens up 3 scholarships in their 2014 class with the 3 guys announcing they are leaving today.

[Norm Peterson]

That gives him room to sign some big name guys.  I can see why he's cleaning house.  And my bet would be that it's not a coincidence that these guys are all of a sudden announcing plans to transfer.  My guess is that Groce helped 'em along with that decision.

If that is the case, then maybe he would allow them to transfer within the conference if he wants them gone bad enough.

[hskr4life]

Man we just do not have enough open scholarships for all these guys that are just breaking down the door to play here

Too bad Nebrasketball doesn't also have the luxury of "cleaning house" by washing out a four-star Rivals/ESPN recruit, ranked 59 on the Rivals 150 list (Mike Shaw), to make room for some "big name" players.

helps having an abundance of stellar recruits just up the road from you.

 

Illinois for 2014 class alone:

 

3- 5*'s

7- 4*'s

7-3*'s

[HuskerCager]

3- 5*'s

7- 4*'s

7-3*'s

We have as many 3's, 4's and 5's in Nebraska too.... on a scale of 1-10.

[hhcmatt]

Josh Davis averaged a double-double last year.  Easily the best big on the "can play immediately" list.

[TheKamdyMan]

Brian Freeman from Binghampton could be a back-up back-up plan

[Huskerpapa]

Kind of ironic...nobody from the Huskers on the list...

This guy stood out, no idea if were pursuing him. A 6-8 220 PF, that put up 10 and 7 a game and shot 70% from the field. Also will be available to play right away. Seems like a guy we should be after at this point in the game.

he also hasnt played in over a year now after having several surgeries to repair different things on his body.  He played last March for his last game after missing this last season for knee surgery followed by two wrist surgeries.
