If you look closely, it's really not too subtle.

All team members with the exception of transfer Anya Kalenta will arrive on campus in the upcoming days and will begin the process of getting to know their new teammates better and start to gel on the court with each other. An exciting and anxious time for the new freshmen who will be on campus for the first time as students. We’ve got some good upper-class leadership to show them the ropes though as they become acquainted with their new surroundings. A big HHC WELCOME! goes out to new freshmen Natalie5, Chandler30, Jasmine34 and Darrien50 plus Kaylee2 and Emily12 who have both been on campus for over a month. Can't wait to see you perform in the 'Vault'! Your ride is just beginning, here's hoping it's a fantastic one! They’ve got 129 days and counting to get ready and then it’s SHOWTIME! ............not sure yet as to when we can expect Anya's arrival.

Let's hope that Charlie Weis' words don't carry as much weight as his back, legs, and belt.

Tai is definitely looking more put together this summer than last fall. Couldnt figure out the damn twitter thing so I just screen shot it.

Really shocking that he ran into Weis at dinner of all places.

Lost baby/body fat...gained 15lbs...likely more like 20 to 25 lbs of muscle...improved work habits...refined shooting technique. I think we are going to see a somewhat different Tai. Me lika.

Makes the Abraham pick up even more crucial.

He looks a couple of inches shorter than Petteway because he's a couple inches shorter than Petteway.

Yeah, you would really think that Notre Dame would spring for something better than Golden Corral.

How much you wanna bet it was all you can eat?

That is a nice post Row. there will be some bumps in the road with so many new faces, but should be a lot of fun times ahead especially with such great upperclassman as leaders. I have been hearing Rachel T. has been playing amazing and has a chance to be an all American at some point I read Rachel Blackburn's team took 2nd in the tourney this week in Frisco tx at fieldhouse usa. lost in finals I believe.

Would you be disappointed if we didn't dance this year? No. Making the dance is a privilege. There are so many variables that go into making the tournament. If we end the season without even having a chance at making the dance, then I would be disappointed. What are your expectations? Many sellout games. That's the one thing that the fans can control. Is it fair to expect to dance this year? No. See first answer.

Have to dance. Cannot backslide. Must make the dance this year, preferably as a 7 seed or better. Expectation is that we win a game when we get there. Anything less will be a letdown.

Much ado about nothing. Patton won't get into Creighton until after JUCO.

Short update in today's OWH that Smith is back in Lincoln & NU's personnel will be evaluating Smith's knee today - hoping the news will be good

Article was pretty on point for everything we have heard from AW3. He called Nebraska an up and comer with state of the art facilities. He called Notre Dame a established team with old school buildings and facilities. Most importantly he is playing pick up games with the players and talking with the coaches to see where he fits in. He said when he is certain of where he wants to be, he will commit. I like our chances, but the article didn't hint at anything that will help/hurt.

Here is an article from Mississippi that says an Eddie Taylor will be trying to walk on at NU. http://www.pressregister.com/news/article_5a2d1f6a-02ca-11e4-a481-001a4bcf887a.html I am not sure whether this is just his wish or whether it is arranged with the staff...Anybody know? What little I found on his stats was not world beater stuff, but who knows? http://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/eddie-taylor/SbjyF_TpEeKZ5AAmVebBJg/gendersport/basketball-stats.htm

Have to respectfully disagree, Handy. If he stays injury free and has a great year, he is gone. He will get first round guaranteed money, and for a guy who will already have had 4 years of college, that is a no-brainer to take. He'll have to improve quite a bit to be a first-round lock. Not saying he won't... But I've heard his draft board response was possible late second round. I would bet he stays four years.
