Gavin Griffiths is N

I think Elvis Costello must be an uncle.

Griffiths reminds me of former Terp Kevin Huerter. And that's meant as a compliment.

Very apt comparison, and also an NBA player.  

If he is close to Kevin we will all be very happy

Gotta make sure you’re a good candidate for it though. I have a cousin who went blind in one eye after. 
 

I mostly wear contacts and for me, the risk of losing my sight is definitely not worth removing the inconvenience of taking contacts in and out everyday.

I was the guy going blind about a decade ago.... and, miracles do happen, after a slew of seven eye surgeries, I can see clearly now. The marvels of modern medical treatment and the capable hands of Dr. Lance Kugler, and no, I don't get paid to promote his wares. lol.

Kevin, Nebraska had a Kevin. A Cross. 

I still think about Kevin Cross.

Kevin cross got springy and is in better shape - see a highlight of him this season…

I’ll never be ok.

Yeah he’ll go to the league.  Roby esque athleticism with range.  I think Fred will develop him really well.  
 

That was nuts.

That pass has to be timed PERFECTLY from Gary and boy it was.  That was NOT an easy play.

Remind me again, is he left handed 

Nope, Berke and Nick are the lefties.  Optimistic that he has enough recovery time

Something I often think about is how 90's  Husker football players talk about Tom Osborne practices, and how they were more competitive and just harder and more exhausting than the games were. Jason Peter cites that as THE reason for their success in that era. I'm sure the all-american and NFL talent also had something to do with it. 

I literally thought about this during the first half of the Penn State game, when it looked like our three ball handlers (Brice, Rollie, Sam) had absolutely no idea Penn St's guards were capable of harassing them and turning them over. Looked like deer in headlights. I couldn't believe it. 

Anyhow, it's not just the uncontested, mid-air improvised reverse dunk in this video that no college player does in-game ever. I've never seen Juwan Gary look so comfortable handling and passing the ball in a game in his Husker career. That was a beautiful, feathery pass. And it looks like they're going full-court, live right there. Not just a session where they're working on halfcourt sets. 

Definitely not fair of me to make assumptions off of a single offseason social media video. Maybe it's somethin. Maybe it's nothin. But it's something I've wondered about the culture since Fred's first year here. Jimmy Butler's comments about his practices being soft also might be somethin or nothin.  One thing I am sure of is that Tom Izzo's practices are pure hell and not fun for his players.

2 of our 3 best ball handlers weren’t very good.   That’s the bigger issue.

I can’t believe he was basically unplayable all year with the glaring issues we had, I also can’t believe he’s not in the portal yet

He'll be in it as soon as we're done in the Crown.

Follow up question.  Will this be on his own villition or will this come at the behest of our staff? 

I have no clue what he $igned on for or the length of the contract.  But I cannot imagine that his $tock has risen.
