I've always thought that team, which almost made the Final 4, would potentially be better with Scheierman at point than Nembhard but if you have both it makes sense to play Nembhard at the point. Assuming everyone comes back, which is obviously assuming a lot given this news, this is how you put Traudt in your starting lineup. Otherwise it's pretty hilarious to read the replies on Nick Bahe's tweet full of complaints about money tampering like 2 years removed from having an assistant fall on his sword over that very issue.

How does that 89 percent FT clip adapt to the apparent jet stream that whips through PBA when we shoot?

Visiting the weekend of April 8th I think he might have 2 years left. Prior to this season he redshirted because of knee injury and played two years prior so I think he's due an extra covid year. Guy is a 3 level scorer who shot lights out even after becoming the focal point of the offense. Also rebounds. Would be a hell of a get and a starter day 1.

Bogus evaluation. Everyone pales in comparison to Kevin Cross.

SIAP: Javian McCollum is visiting. Hell of a player. Would probably be #1 on my list of realistic options in the portal.

Am I on the HHC forum or Penthouse forum?

Fingers crossed he doesn’t have a GF that goes to Creighton

A lot of players who were starters for good basketball programs and who won games in the NCAA tourney are entering the portal. We went .500 and have had no significant contributors enter the portal (yet). I think that says a lot about the foundation and culture of cohesiveness this coaching staff and roster built this past season.

I'd say the fact that we're in the top 4 for a guy where some recruitnik hasn't linked us to them is an indication that what is publicly put out for consumption doesn't necessarily marry up with the reality of what is happening

Transfer from the last place team to the second to last place team to play for a coach who most people in Columbus want fired. Interesting.

Please tell me there’s no Shim Sham thread there.

I like that he wouldn't be a one-year rental. Lately Nebraska's had far too many 1-yr. wonders at the PG position.

I just noticed Wisconsin picked up a PG from Wyoming in the portal….

Would rather have the Williams kid from Charlotte coming in this weekend

Things are starting to pick up now. Bryce Williams from Charlotte visiting this weekend. 6'7" and averaged about 14ppg and 40% from 3.

Ryan Nembhard leaving Creighton

Career 27% 3pt shooter and career 1:3 assist to turnover ratio... Where do I sign up?!?!?

It’s disappointing that we lost that battle.

Reynolds seems like more of a combo guard than a PG

You're saying that's a bad thing? That's the Nebrasketball mantra.

Paraphrasing, they're optimistic he'll return and the remaining players on the team are as well. They don't know for sure what he's going to do, but those in the program feel good about where they're at.

apparently the international rules are bogus. You can pay them, you just can't pay them for their name, image, or likeness. So those insurance commercials that aired during the tournament -- you can't pay an international student for those engagements. R2 received money from our NIL committee this season. This move is perplexing but it probably boils down to money. The rumor is that he is headed to Arizona.

Alrighty I’ll do it this way. There are a lot of starters from teams .500 or worse that are entering the portal. None of our significant contributors have entered the portal (yet). I think that says a lot about the foundation and culture of cohesiveness the coaching staff and roster built this past season.

Alas, you forget what happens to shooters when they come to Nebraska. His numbers will trend, but not in the direction you are hoping

That way, if they continue to lose, he'll be used to it and won't cause any dissension.

Hey, I've actually seen the Shims Shammers in a state of partial undress in the locker room. Big mistaken entry into forbidden territory. 30 years ago, and I'm still traumatized.

Don't knock it - you haven't lived until you've gotten your freak on at a Shim Sham after party

They're just being coy...playing it cool because they don't want to be seen to be the ones initiating the COOLEST SCHOOL/PLAYER NAME COMBO IN THE HISTORY OF EVERYTHING EVER

Absolutely agree - we didn't set out to schedule poorly, but USD and USA are not playing as well as expected. And our midweek games are what they are because of where we're located - not much we can do with those unless we can convince Arkansas or Missouri to play a home and home on Tuesdays. It'd be nice to replace 2 with NDSU or Northern Colorado with Mizzou, for example. Get a bit more of that SEC scheduling bump for RPI purposes. Making the problem far worse is that the bottom of the B1G has horrible RPIs - and we play all of them. Just bad luck. Hopefully, it'll play in our favor in chasing a B1G regular season title at least. I don't think Bolt wants to schedule as tough as Erstad typically did -- which is a good strategy, I think, as the B1G has improved enough since we joined that you don't have to kill yourself in the non-con. (Still some work to do to get the league back to where it was before the terrible 2021 decision to play conference-only.) However, when you don't schedule extra tough, you do run the risk of having a bad luck scheduling year on occasion like this one.

High level vision, feel and passing ability imo. He was the primary scoring option for Siena.

Hahahaha. I was thinking along the same lines. Like how does this dude stay steady at the line when guys are huffing and puffing around the box at the end of the game?

My guess - if he comes here you see those go up and scoring go down.

These are some nice looking stats. All except the 6'2"....155 lbs https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4898267/javian-mccollum

I’ve been playing lunch ball with him. Great kid, would like to see him at Omaha

Morrow from Depaul is in the portal. She would be a good get but I see her going to LSU or South Carolina to help them win their next championship!!

From an article in today's LJS: There has been consistent contact between Nebraska and Gonzaga transfer Hunter Sallis, as well, according to a source, though Sallis’ father, Trevis, expected to take at least this week to sort through options. Hunter Sallis had limited offensive opportunities with the Bulldogs but emerged as a defensive stopper this season. With eight known returnees and one 2023 high school signee — IMG Academy forward Eli Rice — NU has four scholarships available. Hoiberg said in a mid-March interview that Nebraska would add at least two — a versatile center and a point guard — and assess from there, adjusting as needed to Tominaga’s decision-making and portal availability.

I mean, the real choice is obvious here isn't it???

Portal is a tough place… and it looks like you’ll need to ping up some cash for good players too.

Neither really. It was my way of wording that Wrightsell is in the portal and to point out he's from Nebraska. If getting successful players from a winning team for a position we need to fill seems like a good idea, we should have contacted him the second he hit the portal.

The rumors (months ago) that Traudt, Sallis, Wrightsell and Tonje would all be in the portal have been correct so far. Those same rumors said Chucky was coming home to Nebraska. Maybe we let Kriisa know that...

Time to roll the dice on another Omaha Central PG?

Feels like with 20% of D-1 players in the transfer portal that there are a few more guys left

I really liked him when I saw him at Creighton practice. Energy giver, explosive, strong - kinda like if Sam Hoiberg had D1 size.

The greatest trick the Huskers ever pulled was convincing recruits other schools didn't exist.

Think they liked Ben but you could see he was not happy about the PT. Mitchell was processed to make room though.

Or that we don't have players anyone wants.
