Returning experience

[uneblinstu]

It would be awesome of the two dudes who are supposed to be our two best shooters have breakout seasons. Especially if we fully embrace the small ball thing. That would be very good.

That's a lot of talent, for sure, which is nice.  But looking at the roster and how, erm, inexperienced and small it appears to be, well, I think as far as this season goes ...

Broken down by class ...

 

We have two total seniors, two juniors, three sophomores¹ and six freshmen. SIX freshmen!

 

So, do you redshirt any of these freshmen or do you just have a HUGE senior class in 4 years' time?

 

Questions to ponder in the month of June.

 

 

 

^{1  Anton Gill is essentially in the sophomore class because he'll be a junior, eligibility-wise, next year and join the current sophomore class of Nick Fuller and Jacob Hammond.}

I count only 5 Freshmen there Norm, what am I missing?

By the way, +1 for the Planes, Trains and Automobiles clip!

[Silverbacked1]

The way kids leave programs now a days we most likely won't have 6 seniors in 4 years.

Paschal Chukwu.

The super secret, hidden-gem recruit, of course.

Wouldn't that be something if NU did have a solid sextet develop together during that time-frame? 

 

Imagine the things they'd accomplish as a group of great players, getting better each & every season, making history. It'll be a fun ride, let's see what happens once Chukwu arrives!

I think there is a better chance that the NCAA disbands than we have a 6 man graduating class in 4 years.

Paschal Chukwu.

 

 

Or, failing that, Diamond Stone de-commints from Maryland and comes to Nebraska?

No, it's Paschal Chukwu.  I was thinking in my head that if Chukwu does come here, it would mean we'd have 6 guys in that class, which is about half the team.  I just got ahead of myself when I posted what I posted above because obviously Chukwu hasn't committed yet.  But, if he does, I can certainly live with it considering who the six players in that class would be.

And, given that scenario, consider that 5 of the 8 newcomers would be 4* top 100 type guys.  Yes, new to the team and (relatively) new to the college game, but still.  Not a terrible problem to have...
