A Husker basketball note: Terran Petteway is the team's lifter of the year. The 6-6 wing used his transfer year to go from 190 to 210 lbs.

Petteway's work ethic is another reason why I think he will start next season.  People say he is a very aggressive player.  If he is as aggressive on the court as he seems to be in the weight room, then he could be pretty dangerous.  Especially considering his athleticism.

 

*And no I don't mean aggressive like punching a guy during a game...

[Cookie Belcher]

I think he will definitely start.  I assume that he will be one of the best players as well.  Have heard nothing but good things about him.

[AuroranHusker]

Petteway could be that versatile wing player that Nebraska has needed.  Heard he might even play a little point-forward...

[MandRHusker]

I've seen him play the point and he looks very good. Very quick first step and effective getting to the rim! But he needs real work on his outside shot.

Hopefully Rivers and Vucetic can do the same.  It would be HUGE for Nebraska to have Rivers at 6'7", 210+ lbs and Vucetic at 7'1", 250+ lbs next season.

Rivers did pretty good last off-season, if he can take that next step, I would very much agree.

Would be huge for them to put on any weight!! Hopefully vucetic can build a lot of muscle!!

Rivers as a Freshman:

 

 

2   Rivers, David G 6-7 174 Fr. Little Rock, Ark. (Hall)

 

Rivers as a Sophomore:

 

 

2   Rivers, David G 6-7 191 So. Little Rock, Ark. (Hall)

 

Rivers as a Junior...can we hope or anticipate another 10 to 20 lbs...I sure think so.

I'll def take Kent's sources as someone pretty close. Lets hope they continue to improve! Things continue to look up!

Trusted sources, harumph.  Who does Kent Pavelka know? 

 

Besides, y'know, Tim Miles and guys like that.  I mean OTHER than those people, who does Kent Pavelka know?

 

I rest my case.

It is hard for me to get excited about a transfer that I have never seen play....

 

I am not saying he won't be great and be a team leader but it is just hard for me to get over the transfer part.

Why?  What I've heard about what Gillespie was doing there when he was there, every player with any sense would have left.

Were you switching back to the original thread or following up on Kent Pavelka's tweet?

Because I think Kent Pavelka's tweet was about recruits (Fuller, Hawkins, the big guy) and not the transfers.

 

So, if you're talking about transfers, I assume you're just hijacking the thread hijack, bringing us, more or less, full circle.

[Dicemanhusker]

Since we're back full circle again, I was a little concerned about the two guys transferring in, but I sure have heard a lot of great things about how they look on the court. Transferring sure has blown up the last few years. I hope it doesn't get too out of hand.

I'm loving T.P.'s size after a year in the program. He can really play a lot big & small with his size & skill set. That's pretty exciting.
