The big 6'6" class of 2022 combo guard chooses Nebraska over the likes of Oregon, Arkansas, Illinois, Baylor, Rutgers, Washington, Arizona, Oklahoma, Georgetown, and USC.

Considering the alternative was for Nebraska to have an empty spot left from Banton deciding to keep his name in the NBA Draft… I don’t understand how anyone could think this is anything other than a great thing for the Huskers to get a player or this caliber with legitimate success at a Power6 conference school and that was getting looks from NBA teams before deciding to come back to play another season in college. He’s a grad transfer, so he has one season of eligibility, so he literally fills Banton’s empty spot for ‘21-‘22, and will leave that spot open again for the 2022 recruiting class.

No idea how Alberts will do here but ultimately getting rid of the football program, bringing basketball/other sports to D-1, and building up the hockey program were all the right moves for Omaha.

I mean is he really a JUCO guard anymore, if he's literally played 2 full seasons of power 5 ball? Seems like it takes away the 'can he play at this level' factor...

Has a high school recruit ever said anything negative about an official visit? Just wondering. It would be refreshing if someone would someday say something like the "the staff were smarmy and the team returning for next year seemed like a bunch of egotistical jerks."

Jimmy I got you man - I apologize if I’m misconstruing anything you’re saying. I know you’re a solid dude. My issue with your statement, and others who’ve made similar, is every time any institution goes, “we’d really like to explore and possible go with a minority candidate here,” everyone immediately goes into, “well I hope they’re just hiring the most qualified person regardless of a, b, c.” My thing is, “of course they’re qualified!” I strongly dislike the assumption that by going with a minority candidate that said institution was somehow taking a chance on a lesse

I'd take Bill Moos over Shawn Eichorst any day. If they promote Matt Davison into the job, I might be done though.

Most Husker football games are over by noon even when they kick off at 11AM.

Does this mean Bill has entered the portal?

I can think of worse metaphors. At least he didn't say "we have to all stay on the plantation."

Doc broke out his 'new AD' T-shirt

The Mavs have only lost 11 football games in the 12 years he's been the AD.

You might be right. However, do you really think if Shawn Eichorst had been given carte blanche instead of being fired he would he have landed any of these guys? SE is hiring Herb Sendek or some other 60 year old who once made a Sweet 16 because he doesn't think he can get the money to hire Hoiberg. Spending money, right or wrong, hasn't ever been an obstacle for Moos.

Glad to be a part of the B1G and apart from the Big 12.

It's an arena owned by the city; capacity, masks, etc will follow what is set by the city. For anyone who hasn't received a vaccination yet, please do so as soon as possible.

The reason is that with no more Burno, it threw off everyone's perception of time. With Burno around 50 days seems like a year, so then without him the space-time continuum is really screwed up down there; so much so that everyone felt the need to leave.

Loved how they raised ticket prices by about 20% (at least for my seats) per ticket after the two worst seasons in program history and sticking with the team through the pandemic. Was kinda disappointed to see that, honestly.

How good can he be? He's got 37 fewer pages on his thread than Matthew Attewe did.

Having 3 senior point guards is probably the most underrated part of this pickup. Between Kobe, Trey, and Alonzo there will always be a reliable dude running point who can take care of the ball and get a bucket.

Peru and Auburn? Let's dominate Nemaha County!!

Think we're going to miss his size on defense. He was an above average rebounder and a decent rim protector.

But that was 100% on Eichorst failing to extend Miles in 2017 when he really needed to either do that, or move on. It was a chicken**** move and ultimately ended up leaving Miles hanging out to dry. Then 2018 happened and the whole situation was just compounded. I'm bitter about it, but much less so than I would be if we hadn't replaced Tim with Fred.

I still think this matters. I think the conference's response to covid relative to the other Power 5 schools lays out the balance of athletics vs academics in the B1G.

He was off my radar, but im so hype on this kid, it looks like Fred attracted an NBA talent gem in this guy. When we get a recruit or are high on someone, I like to find video of them, like we all do. Here's a video I just found with a deep dive on his family and story, and his dad, a former pro overseas. Really made me fall for the kid. Love it.

But….but I thought Hoiberg wasn’t going to recruit high school kids. I’m excited about this commitment. Keeping my fingers crossed Traudt is next.

false all around

Definitely think he goes pro in Australia after this season. I'd say we're recruiting like it's something he's talked about with the staff.

Nice burner, Robin lol

I am on board with Trev. One of my all time favorite players. And the way he used to defend Nebraska when he was a broadcaster shows his passion for the program. I hope everyone gives him a chance to prove himself and then judges him on his performance here.

Got any idea who it is Dimes?

Sweet 16 is where they are on my schedule.

According to Washut, the Charlotte Hornets offered Verge a two-way contract after his workout with them earlier this week. He turned it down. That’s a pretty big deal.

If we want to start moving up in the world, we need to go 10-1 in the noncon. It's time to start punching above our weight class. Drop a close one to Auburn and win the rest of the non-con sleight. That's what I want to see.

[Checks to see if Incarnate Word is on the schedule...]

Jimmy had a great post, I liked everything about it. Mwm89 and huskerbill 85 had really good likes, and millerhusker was awesome with the upvote.

The offense worked well in creating the shots we wanted. The players were very inefficient in making those good shots.

Just stop. It’s not this difficult.

Creighton already had Mike Riley as their football coach.

We're going to look back on Moos' tenure and find it enormously successful, methinks.

Shall we raise a glass to Bill, or am I too early?

Any chance we could get Steve Pederson to return? After all, he never quite accomplished his mission here and he does have a boomerang type of resume.

That's why I said that any school that is available today for the Big Ten will be available next year...5 years from now...30 years from now. There is absolutely no need to rush on adding anyone to the Big Ten. At all. We should be very careful going forward. No 16 team conference has ever managed to stay viable. I'm not sure that this experiment will work out for the SEC like they hope either.

Thing is do you want the guy who screwed the pooch on football and baseball seasons to be in charge of anything as consequential as possible Big Ten expansion?

@Noah121 the "missed your calling" question should be interpreted as: If you weren't doing what you've chosen for a career and could choose anything else you have a passion for, what would it be? And it doesn't have to be realistic. For example, someone might say "Professional Bass Fisherman" if they simply enjoy the hell out of fishing even if they're not particularly skilled at it. Is there something you have a passion for outside of work? If so, what is it? That's your missed calling. P.S. Do not even try to claim you missed your calling as a Chippendale Dancer. That

Upvote for correctly using the word "fewer" in this context instead of its more popular cousin "less."

Not to mention we broke ground on some of the best sports facilities in the country and got out ahead of the NIL race on his tenure. I have 0 problems with his tenure and hopefully the replacement is ready to go as well.

Semicolon use is overrated; alternate forms of punctuation can be equally effective.
