    Fred Hoiberg - “First, I want to thank Bill Moos, Chancellor Green and President Bounds for the opportunity to lead the Nebraska men’s basketball program,” Hoiberg said. “I can’t express how excited I am to be back on the sidelines and to be coaching at a university that means a lot to my family and me.

     

    “Lincoln is a special place for our family. I was born in Lincoln, my grandfather Jerry Bush was the head coach at Nebraska, my other grandfather was a long-time professor there, and my parents are proud graduates of the University of Nebraska. Nebraska has always felt like a second home.

     

    “I had the opportunity to coach at Pinnacle Bank Arena with the Bulls, and I have seen first-hand that the facilities are as nice as any in the country. When you couple that with a loyal and passionate fan base, you can see there is great potential for the future of Nebraska basketball.”

     

     

    Bill Moos - “We are excited to welcome Fred, his wife Carol, and their family to Nebraska. He will be an outstanding representative of the University, and a great leader for our men’s basketball program,” Moos said.

     

    “When you look at him, you see an individual who has had success as a player and a coach,” Moos said. “Fred’s background will sell itself on the recruiting trail, and help us bring in the type of student-athletes needed to compete at the highest level. His style of play not only will be appealing to prospective recruits, but will also provide our great fans an entertaining brand of basketball.”

     

    Ronnie Green -  “Bill Moos has made an exceptional choice to lead Husker basketball into the future. I look forward to welcoming Coach Hoiberg and his family to Nebraska and am excited to see where he takes the program.”

    Sounds like the St. Johns guy with the crazy last name is a lock. Any other word on the rest of the staff? Will they be announced Tuesday anyone think?

     

    Im going to guess we have 4 schollies to fill when its all said and done. A couple RS transfers, an impact freshman, and grad transfer would be a good way to balance the classes.

     

    Depending on who the rest of the staff is, we could already have reinforcements on the way. Cant wait for it all to shake out.

    Over/under on this thread going 34 pages? 

     

     

     

    Lol we need to work harder if it’s makes it to 34 pages.  The one on Fred over on the one ISU board is up to just about 100 pages.  Funny thing is they say we have nothing but the Huskers to talk about in Nebraska and go on and on about the Huskers.

    We're not going through the 49 stages of grief here

    The strangest thing happened today... I was trying to check up on some basketball discussions on Husker Hoops Central, but when I thought I was in the right place, I ended up on some Hoiberg fan club site.

     

    I don't know how I ended up there, but I feel fooled. :lol:

    The cardinal and gold across the top is a nice touch. ?

     

    As long as we don't have to swap out Lincoln for Ames for the day, I'm OK with the changes. That'd be going too far.

    Love the assists line.. they pass the mess out of the ball and I cannot WAIT to see ball movement and assists here.  

    Will be interesting to see who he finds to run the point. He did a great job in Ames of adjust the offense to the point man. From Royce White to DeAndre Kane to Monte Morris.

    In real life, does Hoiball answer to the name of Emma?

    Jut the obvious ones that he probably can't give a straight answer to:

     

    1. Any idea about how much roster attrition he expects...especially in regard to how likely it is that a certain PF from Dixon, IL comes back for his senior year

    2. What does he expect the makeup of the initial recruiting class to be?  Mostly transfers/JUCOs?  Does everyone currently committed to Nebraska still have a committable offer?
