Alonzo Verge is N

Definitely need to hit the market with this major need. Hoiberg's penchant for a combo guard has really hampered NU's fortunes these past 3 seasons, and that will 100% need to be rectified this upcoming off-season. GBR

This harkens back to recruiting and the difference between stockpiling talent and building a roster

I am not convinced we have a PG on our roster next year at this time.  Needs to be a priority beyond just 1-2 year band-aid at some point.

It's one reason I've flirted with the idea of taking 2 PGs via portal. One veteran guy and one younger guy with upside. Odds of that happening, idk. There will be a hole at the 4 and ideally that's someone who can score as they'll be losing a lot of scoring. They obviously take 1 via portal, but they'd have to create room to take 1 more (cast away denim, Keon, Keisei, or Oleg). There's still that Avery Brown kid available, but there's been very little talk about us from him. 

Perfect world, there's a PG that has multiple years of eligibility left that comes aboard.

I share your skepticism. Once the new assistants are in place we may have an idea of who is a target.

Jack Moore, Brian Carr and Tyronn Lue say hi!

Honestly pg has usually been a strength those above plus Scales/Moody, Wald, Jeter, Watson, Jamar Johnson, Eric Johnson, Henry T. Buchanan.

And the hustle king Benny Parker

It's been a very good spot for Nebraska for quite a few decades tbh.

This may fit here:

Huuuuuuge pickup.

The loss of Dalano would have doomed this team to .500 or lower without Verge.

Another try, in light of the GOAT thread:

The loss of Delano would have doomed this team to a poor finish to the season without Verge.

Verge playing in that Portsmouth Invitational for Seniors that Shavon Shields, Tai Webster, and James Palmer has played in.

Will be interesting to see him on the court with Turell (top scorer in all of college basketball).  Hold on to your yarmulkes! 

h/t to @hhcmatt for digging this one up:

You just wonder how much influence Neal Hawks has over the Mavericks in making these decisions.  Remember, the Mavs drafted Roby too...
