The next 4 years.

...and yet, he wasn't even the player of the game on the HHC Wake Forest report card!

Like most, I am hopeful that Tai's visit goes well and he sign his LOI with NU. Based on what I have read, it seems there are at least 5 different scenarios that could play out regarding Tai and his commitment: 1.. Tai could "re-affirm" his verbal commitment to NU and wait until the spring signing period to sign with NU. This would be OK, but still make me nervous b/c a lot can happen/change over the course of the next 4 months. 2. Tai could say he is still verbally committed, but that he wants to "keep his options open" and possibly visit a few other schools before the spring signing period. This obviously would not be a good sign at all. 3. Tai could de-commit and state that he wants to visit other schools. This obviously would be the worst case scenario. 4. Rosenthal intimated that Tai maybe could have signed his LOI a couple of weeks ago and that he could hand deliver to it to Coach Miles. As long as it is delivered within 3 weeks of signing it, then it could still be valid. I have not seen any other source confirm or verify this. This, IMO, would be the second best scenario regarding Tai as we could all know with certainty that he is committed and signed. 5. Which leads me to the 5h, and IMO, best way this could play out. By all reports, Tai has now graduated from HS. Thus, there is no apparent reason why he couldn't enroll in school and start classes in January. Numerous football players have done this and there is no reason a basketball player couldn't also do it. If Tai were to enroll, there would be no need to sign a LOI. Enrolling in classes has the same effect as a LOI, it would commit him to NU and I believe he would have to sit out a year if he later decided to transfer. Plus, enrolling in January would mean he would immediately begin to work with the team and trainers in off-season workouts, lifting, training table, etc. He could practice with the current players in the Hendrix facility, etc. This clearly is the best case scenario and the one I am still holding out hope for.

this just in from the tweeter world: Nebraska Hoops Blog ‏@HuskerHoops Congrats to Andre Almeida, who was named Big Ten Player of the Week today - Watch Andre and the Huskers take on USC tonight #Huskers #GBR Hope he can make it 2 weeks in a row. This post has been promoted to an article

I had planed on going to the game...but a 100 degree temp the day before leaving for Vegas is keeping me home for tonight's game...as well as missing the Creighton game Thursday. Go Big Red!

Is there any hockey tonight?

There are no tais in basketball.

lol..what if everyone started a Tai chant? Highly doubt they are going have cops at the doors handing out tickets as you leave for chanting a guys name.

Excellent!!! I actually bought one and a box of little ones on sticks as well. This way we can have one on both sides of the Red Zone. We shall use it well!

Back in the 90's, there was an "athletes section" at basketball games, underneath the south hoop on the side opposite the bench. This was done away with after the 1999-2000 season, because as you mention, fewer and fewer athletes were showing up. But in the mid 90's, they were all there, all the time. I remember seeing Lawrence Phillips, Tommie Frazier, Brook Berringer, all those guys, at almost every game. When we win and its "cool" they'll be back.

You and Jadler might need to flush out your current discussions, plunge into different topics, grab a bowl and get some soup, plug in the TV, and pop a squat on the couch. Did I miss anything else?

Last Sunday or yesterday? Also, shouldn't all this Tai talk be in the members-only forum until we get the signature?
