What's up with Nick Fuller

[Silverbacked1]

Watched the game last night and came away with a higher opinion of Fuller than I thought I would. No way the dude is 6'8 though. He's the same height as Petteway. Also he looks like he'd be more agile if he lost a few pounds

They added like 15 Pounds to his frame this year, he was lifter of the year, but I think he could loose a couple.

he's listed at 6'7. petteway is 6'6. so yes, they are about the same height.

@HuskerHC: Tim Miles doesn't like to talk injuries. I think we find out more specifics about Nick Fuller when the season ends that explains slow start.

What's up with Nick Fuller?

 

His minutes.

[lang]

May Nick keep making contributions and strides this year. Next year he will likely see less time. So hopefully he can stay the course next year so it can really start paying off his Jr year ?

As the guy who started this thread I do have to admit I tweeted miles at half-time of the IOWA game. Guess he read it

Whats the Deal with Nick Fuller.  He had two pretty good games when he played getting rebounds and scoring.

Give him 10-15 minutes I know he would put up the numbers on offense with his hustle plays.

 

That crap about he cant play Defense.  I watch him closely on the games he played and only one person scored on him and it was a pull up 3 pointer by Uthoff in transition.   Something else must be up.

You have become a homer, Extreme.  You must have missed some game action.  I have no problem with arguing more minutes for Fuller, but to suggest that concern about his on-ball defense is just "crap" is reality avoidance at its finest.

Fuller made a few mistakes against Rutgers...but it was not due to his lack of athleticism.  I would chalk it up to his lack of getting quality minutes.  I don't get to go to practice so I'm assuming the coaching staff knows what they are doing.  But in the short time we have seen Fuller on the floor he looks like someone who could help this team.

People still want Tai to leave? #athleticability.

[berlinblackshirts]

#lovethedoghouse   Go Tai

[Huskerpapa]

Tai looked excellent tonight...he is playing with a focus and purpose.  I love it!!!

[Ron Mexico]

Yes...lets give up on Fuller the way we many gave up on Tai.

Its the first time I have ever seen a kid (Fuller) come off the bench in two straight games and play well helping the team,  then never see the floor again.. Something is very odd

[bobcat402]

right now nick is a match-up rotational player, plus whose minutes do we take away? games like Wisconsin, Minnesota, maybe Purdue he will see some more mins.

Nothing odd.  Just numbers.  Miles typically doesn't go very deep in his bench.  Tai's re-emergence and Leslee Smith's return from injury take up minutes that might otherwise have fallen to Fuller.  If Nick Fuller wants to play, he needs to work his way into the top 8 players.  I don't think he's there yet.
