Nebraska lands a commitment from Bradley transfer Big Man Rienk Mast

A Good Read

Quote

One of Nebraska’s top priorities entering the spring NCAA Transfer Portal season was replacing do-it-all big man Derrick Walker.

The Huskers did just that by landing a commitment from Bradley transfer Rienk Mast on Wednesday.

The 6-foot-10, 240-pound senior from the Netherlands chose NU over Iowa and Cincinnati. He has two seasons of eligibility remaining.

Wow.  HUGE!!!!!!  

Hell yeah! 

On 3's 65th ranked player and 3rd ranked PF.

Excellent...now I am still waiting on the 2nd.

Literally!  

In terms of getting a plug and play addition to replace Derrick this is quite good.

Shoots at a high percentage, can shoot from outside, can pass, and is a plus defender

Saw a tweet that said something like "Nebraska just got a new hardest worker" and that's always a good thing I think when there's also some stats/numbers to back it up.

Is he a senior?  How many of eligibility does he have left?

Just remember to call a doctor if it lasts for more than 4 hours.

Great get now if we get Williams & Sallis that's 1 hell of a squad 

I hate Iowa. Let's compare Nebraska and Iowa's big man portal pickups. Rienk Mast and Ben Krikke.  Bradley was a good team this year (went to the NIT) and Mast was their best player. Valpo was a very poor team and Krikke was their best player. Bradley was very good defensively and Mast was a good defender in the MVC. Valpo was bad defensively and Krikke was an average defender in the MVC. Mast appears to be a bit bigger and stronger. 

The overall numbers are a bit skewed due to Krikke playing damn near every minute for Valpo (Krikke averaged more ppg). Safe to say he won't be able to keep that up in the Big Ten. Mast had a better offensive rating. And a much better defensive rating. 

The biggest difference between the two is in the rebounding department. Mast has a knack for getting boards. His rebounding rate is about 2x what Krikke's is (averages nearly 12 rebounds per 40 minutes). Krikke's rebounding rate is the same as Walter Pitchford's was. 

Mast's assist rate is significantly higher than Krikke's. Both guys take care of the ball relatively well and don't turn it over much for their high usage rates. 

Both guys are adept at scoring in the low post - Krikke is more efficient in that area. Mast is a much better mid-range and three point shooter. For their position, Krikke is a very good free throw shooter and Mast is above average. Krikke gets to the line more often. 

In my opinion, the eye test shows Mast is just a better player. But keep in mind, I hate Iowa. 

According to KenPom Mast has never fouled out in college.  In fact he's only had three games where he's been called for more than three fouls.

Brice is NNNNNNNNNNNN

Iowa Twitter really wanted Mast to go along with Krikke.

This is great!

Swing and a miss by Wisconsin. Iowa thought they had him.
