I'm guessing that GATA is a priority in the Metro League and that's the one aspect of Biggs game that everyone who has ever coached him brings up.

Maybe it is just me, but we need this group of players to be playing BB with each other, not on fragmented teams in a summer league.  Hopefully by the time the season starts, the players will jell into one singular unit.  So, I have no issue whatsoever with the fact that only the local kid (Biggs) will play in this league this year.

I'm confident there are pick-up games galore happening in the Hendrick's Center all summer.

Someone PLEASE find a way to sneak me in this summer.  I'd even wear suspenders and push a broom for a little while.  Please, Puh-LEASE!  (I ain't too proud to beg.  Cip, you got a video for me?)

I understand what you are saying, but an hour or two one night a week isn't going to be that much of an interruption of their bonding opportunities.

McDermott isn't scheduled to play either.  Most of these players are taking classes at Nebraska, lifting, playing pick up games and have very little down time.  It isn't like a drive across town either.  It may be only an hour or two of playing, but it is two additional hours drive time.  So again, these games are not going to do much, if anything to improve their games, and tie to that the obvious risk of injury...Nope, I do not blame them for not playing.

I'm not too worried about the bonding, but I am wary that playing in a loosely organized league might bring back some of Biggs' bad tendencies on the court.  I'm sure Miles and co. have worked tirelessly with Biggs on improving decision making and shooting form and it probably wouldn't take a lot to get those old habits to come back.

 

Although like you said, it's only a couple hours a week.  Not too big of a deal IMO

Omaha is certainly closer than Denmark

Any update on how Deverell's doing with the trouble he got himself into? I don't get much of that kinda stuff down here in GA.

Nothing has been formally announced.  The max is probably sitting out a few games in addition to anything else major probably leading to dismissal.

He's not playing in the Omaha league, fwiw

[Dicemanhusker]

I'm interedted to see where he fits into the rotation. I'm having a little difficulty wrapping my head around his role this year.
