Gone: Ray Gallegos, Nathan Hawkins

 

Returning: Terran Petteway, Shavon Shields, Leslee Smith, Walter Pitchford, Tai Webster, David Rivers, Leslee Smith, Benny Parker

 

Coming in: PF-C Jacob Hammond, PG Tarin Smith

 

Key Riser: Tai Webster -- He came in as a freshman with a good amount of hype, but it took him time to adjust. Look for the New Zealander to be far more effective and consistent as a sophomore.

 

Analysis: Tim Miles led Nebraska to the NCAA tournament -- and the lone key departure is Gallegos, who averaged 7.3 points. Petteway is one of the top returnees in the league.

 

Summer Buzz: After taking transfer big man Moses Ayegba (Georgetown), the Cornhuskers have two scholarships left and would like to grab a big man and a guard. The bigs include Henry Ellenson, Alex Illikainen, Ed Morrow and Kevin Puryear. The point guards are Nick Rogers, Glynn Watson and Kevin Dorsey. Nebraska is also looking at wing Jimmy Whitt out of Missouri.

You know Indiana fans have to be feeling a bit depressed after last season where their overall W-L % was only .531. But that was the good news because their conference W-L % was .389...........and wait for it.........Nebraska who was picked to finish last in the conference swept them! Now in a poll that is admittedly too early and whose accuracy could be argued on several fronts none the less has them at #43! Ouch!
