FredsSlacks Posted May 21, 2014 Report Posted May 21, 2014 I wonder if someone could calculate the total amount of time a kid who prefers Air Jordans would have to spend in adidas if he attended Nebraska. Figure 4 hours on game days x 30, that's 120 hours. 3 hours per practice (including suiting up, etc.) for 120 days, maybe? Just guessing? That's another 360 hours. Conservatively double that to cover all other workouts, etc. So, let's just say 1000 hours per year wearing adidas shoes. Now, the number of waking hours in a year would be roughly 16 x 365 = 5840. That means almost 5,000 hours per year they can spend wearing any damn kind of shoe they want. And 1/5 that amount of time, only while doing activities related to being on the basketball team, would they have to wear adidas. Yeah, I can see why that would make a kid choose UNLV. I have to imagine these kids get a lot of free nike gear as well for being part of the basketball team. it's not just about what you prefer to wear on the court. Quote

Nebrasketballer Posted May 22, 2014 Report Posted May 22, 2014 I feel like Faux Pelini is now a bigger celebrity than Bo Pelini Haha. Maybe that's where Nebraska went wrong...They should've introduced him to Faux Pelini, instead of Bo Pelini... Quote
CrazyforNUHOOPS Posted May 22, 2014 Report Posted May 22, 2014 The nike stuff is troubling. If kids be picking other schools because nebraska aint nike, then the coaching job be a harder gig den we thought. Who benefits most from adidas contract? Football? All 22 of the sports. bobcat402 1 Quote
colhusker Posted May 22, 2014 Report Posted May 22, 2014 the Adidas contract agrees to outfit all sports...some all sports benifit from Adidas, if a kid is going to pick a school based on their on uniform, ill say it once, and ill say it again. I dont want em. Picking a school for the wrong reason if that is why a kids chooses said school. Lame really Quote

I dont want em. I doubt it is ever the main reason a kid picks a certain school.....but it can be one reason a kid doesn't pick a certain school. When you have the lack of tradition we have, it certainly doesn't help to be outfitted by the brand that most kids don't prefer. Creighton Fan 1 Quote
bball23 Posted May 22, 2014 Report Posted May 22, 2014 Not sour grapes.....but I wonder how much guys on the team like it at UNLV? Hopefully Cornish isn't a guy that is moving on before you know it.... http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/eye-on-college-basketball/24570046/report-unlv-starting-pg-deville-smith-leaving-program Quote
Silverbacked1 Posted May 22, 2014 Report Posted May 22, 2014 Fro years UNLV was seen as a renagade type program. Transfers, jucos, castoffs, etc.. made upmthe roster. If you had gotten into trouble Tark would take you and win. I think that is kind of coming back. Quote
a0t0w0 Posted May 23, 2014 Report Posted May 23, 2014 Two cents on Nike/Adidas argument... Most of you seem to be good at following twatter accounts. Tell me, have any of them posted pictures of their latest Adidas pick up? I'll be waiting! The_Vault 1 Quote
hhcmatt Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 This is the 5 star kid ahead of Cornish at UNLV so he should start to see significant playing time Quote
swoof Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 25 minutes (more than double what he had been getting) in a 1 pt loss at Air Force. 6 points on 2-4 shooting from 3 pt range (he did not attempt a 2 pt FG), 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 turnover. Quote

AuroranHusker Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 But, if NU had Cornish, we probably don't have Andrew White III. So, yeah, I'd take AW-III in that scenario every time... hhcmatt 1 Quote
hhcmatt Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 My thoughts on keeping track of him are his combination of his ability, our prior relationship, and the revolving door that Dave Rice runs at UNLV. At least seven guys during his tenure have transferred out. Quote

At least seven guys during his tenure have transferred out. All good points. My point was the thought of JC coming out of H.S. that Nebraska 'could' have had him but then the Huskers most likely wouldn't have Andrew White. I would not change that 1-for-1 exchange; however, if an opportunity arises in a year or so for Cornish to be "N' with the Corn, then, sure, let's do it! Quote

swoof Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 Dave Rice's job might be in jeopardy. Definitely. This article sums it up nicely and talks about the great recruiting class (including Rivals #11 and #46) he has coming in, not that recruiting has translated to on the court success. There are also rumors of Ben Howland, who obviously has had his own issues. http://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/unlv-rebels/basketball/rice-lobbies-keep-unlv-job Quote
49r Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 Ben Howland is sort of the modern day Rick Majerus isn't he? His name comes up for EVERY job opening. Quote
hhcmatt Posted April 1, 2016 Report Posted April 1, 2016 Dave Rice's job might be in jeopardy. Yup Quote
