Taking bets on Mike Peltz

[Norm Peterson]

"Peltz was a two-year captain at Western Nebraska Community College in Scottsbluff, Neb., playing for Coach Russ Beck. As a sophomore in 2011-12, Peltz averaged 7.5 points, 6.2 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game in helping WNCC to a 26-7 record and the school's first national ranking since 2005. Peltz ranked fifth nationally in the NJCAA in assists and had a 3.5 assist-to-turnover ratio running an offense which featured five players that averaged double figures."

Any bets this kid plays this year? And, by that, I don't just mean mop up duty.

Is he in the rotation? Yes or no.

[49r]

I'll say yes.

[Norm Peterson]

So will I.

[trickey]

I will guess he averages 5 to 8 minutes a game.

[colhusker]

I will say yes. And while I hope he proves me wrong, it shows where things were in Lincoln when Miles arrived if he does.

[Huskerpapa]

He will play, how much depends on whether or not Biggs redshirts and the development of Parker. You also have Menke that was awarded a schollie for this year. That said, Coach Miles will likely play a fair amount of three to four guard rotations...if so, playing time will be had.

Can we see a Beranek 2.0??

Can we see a Beranek 2.0??

I think we'd all be pretty happy if it turns out to be that.

LOVE the Drake!!!

If he plays I hope it is because he is actually deserving of minutes and not just playing because we need someone, though of course like it has been said before you gotta play with what you got, and this year we are slim. His assist and assist to turnover ratio is impressive though so it definitely will be nice to have another good floor general.

[nustudent]

Yes he will play. But more so because of our exisiting situation than his actual talent level.

NU basketball: Juco walk-on making impression on Miles

Norm, you're really just Brian Rosenthal using a pseudonym aren't you? Just bouncing story ideas off us?

[Norm Peterson]

It's got to bug Rosenthal to come on here and see that someone's stolen his thunder a bit.

[49r]

I'm convinced that this is where Rosenthal and Barfknecht go to get at least half their story ideas.

Where's HoopsPanda? I bet he could straighten us out on that, LOL!

[colhusker]

Yes he will play. But more so because of our exisiting situation than his actual talent level.

Exactly what I am thinking. I have eaten crow before and would gladly do it again here.
