As of today

[kldm64]

I'm assuming we will still land another transfer before it's all said and done but based on the roster right now, does any one have a different starting lineup than this?

 

Watson

Webster

Shields

White

Marrow

[AuroranHusker]

I'd say there's probably 23 different combinations that could be used. No idea how I'll square by the season that starts in approx. six months.... safe bet to have Shavon Shields & Andrew White III as starters, though; Tai, Glynn, & Ed are next up on the "winning a job" odds.

Watson

White

Shields

Morrow

Jacobson or Hammonds

[Silverbacked1]

Theses lineups that we are thinking about look like a team that could be okay and maybe make a deep run in the NIT. Which wouldn't make me all that sad. Small steps, small steps.

I'm no Husker Actuary, but I'm guessing there's quite a bit more than 23 different combinations that could be used.

 

One open ship.  One kid sitting out as a transfer.  That leaves 11 different guys.  I'm not smart enough to figure out how many total combos that could generate.  Actuary!  I need your help!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(OK, just kidding.  Don't take me literally, Auroran.  I know you aren't going to field a lineup of Benny, Bakari, Glynn, Tai and Nick.  ...  But you could.  )

[Silverbacked1]

What about the man... the name... the ball player... Johnny Trueblood?

It's been a long time since I learned permutations and combinations. But if you have 11 players to choose from, the answer is 11! / (5! * (11-5)!) = 462.

 

If we're talking starting lineups, last year we had 8 different combos. The year before it was 4.

Yup, that's it.

 

The formula if you want to change your number of players is H!/((H-5)!(5!)) where H is the number of Huskers

Had to go there.  You lobbed me a softball.  Who am I to turn it down?

Sure. I figured someone would notice. It's a trap!

 

 

 

You know, what else is there for us to discuss for the next SIX MONTHS! lol

[Fullbacksympathy]

I still have faith that Hammond contributes a solid role next year.  I'm hanging on!

[kldm64]

It would be a bonus if he could but I'm not holding my breath that will happen.  He would have to have a huge improvement from last year to make a solid contribution this year.  I sure hope he does but don't see it happening.

[King James]

I still have faith that Hammond contributes a solid role next year.  I'm hanging on!

I just hope he stays academically eligible all season!

[Norm Peterson]

As of today, I'm going with ...

 

PG  Glynn Watson

SG  Rasheed Sulaimon (Hasn't signed with Maryland yet.  Just sayin'.)

SF  Andrew White III

PF  Noah Dickerson

C  Thon Maker

 

But that's today.  Ask me again tomorrow and the answer might be different.

[Norm Peterson]

But, seriously, I would be beyond thrilled to get a kid like Noah Dickerson.  Maybe it's in the cards, maybe it ain't, but it's a tantalizing possibility either way.

 

PG  Watson

SG  Webster

SF  White

PF  Shields

C  Hammond

 

Given a hat tip to experience.  Lots of other possible options.  Realistic options.

[Cazzie22]

The kid from Michigan, sorry can't spell his name, might be a Day 1 starter.  If he comes to NU.

[Red Don]

I think (hope) we may get one, or the other  - Bielfeldt or Dickerson.  ( I don't see an emoji for 'fingers-crossed)
