If you're reading a preview that is alarmed by the amount of walk-ons that decided to stop playing basketball you can probably stop reading there.

No mention of Jack McVeigh, Michael Jacobson & Ed Morrow; no thought to consider that Isaiah Roby or Jeriah Horne might be really good, too. It is interesting to read outsiders' opinions, but it does appear to be 'too bleak' when fairly key cogs are not even mentioned other than as a collective group of inexperienced players. That's not too keen of an observation, even considering the outsider perspective of it all. Oh well. Time to prove it on the court, Nebrasketball.

No team returns more freshman-to-sophomore minutes than the Huskers, which is usually an indication that improvement is coming.

There will be preview for all the teams and it's not meant to be an all encompassing review.  Statistically speaking there isn't a reason to bring up those guys individually and no guarantee that any of them will all of a sudden become one of the top 2-3 players on the team.

 

Quote

I don't mean to sound so bleak, but it's hard to see this season as anything but yet another rebuilding season for Nebraska. Short of one or more of the newcomers becoming instantly high-usage and efficient, this offense will struggle to eclipse a point per possession in conference play, and a defense that has exactly one player taller than 6-8 does not project to be good enough to overcome that.

 

In other words, we need at least one of Gill, Roby, Horne, Jordy, or Taylor to score at the same efficiency and rate as White.  A lot of us think that will happen; what's the probability it will?

[AuroranHusker]

Honestly, I didn't expect a super in-depth review... I just think lumping all sophomores (but one) in together seemed a bit lazy. That's all.

[AuroranHusker]

Jacobson, for one, played a ton of minutes & started more often than Watson. That's just one example of what I mean...

Here is a preview I can get behind:

Anton Gill was on "The Bottom Line" today with Mike'l Severe. [I'm sure there is an audio clip of it online as well.]

What can we expect from Nebraska’s frontcourt next year?

More Ed Morrow than this article mentions.

[49r]

yeah, @hhcdimes, I think I may have found the problem there...

This is where dimes stops reading:

 

"The Cornhuskers lost seven players from last year’s roster, two by graduation and five by transfer. That’s right — five."

 

The part where walk-ons leaving is considered a big deal.

KNTK - Morning Take:    Nebrasketball scrimmage tonight at 5:30, what are your expectations for the team?

 

(7:39)

 

Reports say they held a lead with 5 minutes to go vs. Iowa State over the weekend before losing, and Tai Webster/Glynn Watson played well, and Jordy Tshimanga did, too

Any chance of a surprise this year?

Technically, Andrew White is 'lost' due to graduation. If he hadn't graduated, he wouldn't have left.

Grammatical errors abound, but at least he spelled Tai Webster's name correctly.

So, looks like icedragon finally got hired on as a writer somewhere.  I guess his aspirations were not all that unrealistic.

The season must be starting soon...

Lots of players in the box score, but Isaiah Roby may have been the most impressive

Tshimanga fouled out…could be something to watch for in early part of season, especially
