Rienk Mast to Medically Redshirt

One good thing about Red Sea Scrolls is this: they have an “Ignore” button that, when utilized, hides every post that the ignored poster makes—don’t have to see it on my feed.

Here’s a basic rule for living life: avoid negative people at all costs.  The “Ignore” button helps make that rule happen—and there are a lot of negative posters on that board!!

I, for one, downvoted his posts not because he was negative; but because he was communicating insights that were rather pedestrian and actiling like he had some special insight; and he was doing it in a rather lame fashion; and he was hijacking the thread.

All of those things are what I consider my role to be around here.  And there's not enough room for two of us.

That is the plan

Not sure that is the plan as I doubt that he sticks around and plays the following season.  I hope he does but most likely won't happen

Why do you think he will not stay?

At the age he would be at and going through a major surgery, it's hard to think he will stick around for a redshirt year and then stay and another season after that.  I really hope he does but I would think it will be a longshot he stays at NU for 2 more years.

With the reasons you state I go the other way with it. Mostly due to NIL. With his age, the injury, and rehab I would think he's MORE likely to stay 2 years. Gonna have to prove the knees good before you sign that 1st big pro contract. So we have to worry about another program offering a bag of cash to him after he's sat out a year? Probably not. But I bet the NIL collective here takes care of him. No knowledge just a hunch. Will he want to prove his knee is good in a system he's already been in for two years with coaches he knows and a role that's already well defined? Probably.

Makes sense and hope you are right.

Plus these guys are not starting out with huge contracts over seas, for the most part. I’d bet our NIL package will be more than competitive to what he might get.

I'd worry more about him never playing again then i would about being outbid by the Euro league

I'm hopeful that Rienk Mast being in the room with the other bigs is a net positive, at minimum. If Mast's able to play again, that's a B1G bonus for Nebrasketball's efforts at sustaining the level of play from this past year-and-a-half.

I'm pretty sure UNL has the AlterG treadmills. Anti-gravity, and can gradually increase impact as the athlete progresses through rehab.

Some of could use this as we progress through middle age. Just gradually decreasing the impact rather than increasing it.

I've done this following an injury and the PT kept reducing my effective weight until I could jog without pain. Which was really cool.

And then the bitch said, "Now, think how much better you'd feel if that's how much you really weighed."

That's a solid core to build a team around.

You’d like to think hoiberg, Jacobsen, frager, janowski, and bolis are back too.  But with NIL Who knows might be hard to bring back that core even if we have the type of year we are hoping to have. 

With the current state of college sports, I will no longer be surprised with any transfer/portal announcement.   That goes for either gender or any sport.

I'll take it a step further and say I just expect that any individual player is gone in any sport. And be pleasantly surprised if they stay.

100% agree and that is why it's hard to get invested in kids these days.  You get excited to get a high school kid or transfer and they only stay 1 year and then move on to (green pastures).  I absolutely love college sports but but with the way it's run nowadays, it's make it harder to like.  

Makes you wonder how much longer it will be until things like salary caps and signing bonus make their way into college sports.  Other than you only get to play college sports for 4 year and professionally, you can play as long as you want, there isn't much difference anymore.
