Could want to walk because he earned a degree and that’s about being student, not an athlete.

I made a quick table in Google Sheets with the offers that have been mentioned in this thread for class of 2025 and beyond. Is anyone aware of any others?

If Rick is looking for lateral defensive quickness I’m not sure CJ will be his first call though and I love CJ.

Nicole Kubik was a nice guard for Nebraska from Cambridge. She had to finish her career under Paul Sanderford which turned out less than ideal. Britt Prince has a calm confidence that has to impact her teammates positively. She will be a very good point guard that can score for the Huskers.

I have been watching WBB long enough to remember Ivy. She was REAL good - fast, smooth, had the moves, the shots, and the hops. Part of her success was her talent, determination, and enthusiasm. But she was the brightest star in the constellation in part because the others were, by today's standards, so dim. She did not play with and against anything like the competition that is out there today. Girls' and women's level of play has come a very long way since then. Now, as for Prince: I saw her again yesterday. She was not full court guarded by Beatrice nearly as effectively as she was by Scottsbluff the previous day and this gave her more opportunity to showcase her passing skills. And man-oh-man did she! Earlier in this discussion, someone, in comparing her to CC, said that she does not (yet at least) have the ability to make those CC bullet passes consistently hitting the bullseye, and that was consistent with what i had seen. But she launched some lasers yesterday - some too good for her teammates to handle. It will be fun to see her pass to a posted up Markowski and Petrie and to a streaking Potts with kick outs to Nissley. Also to see her benefit from strength, conditioning, and maturity. Remember - she is five years younger than Shelly et. al.

Beatrice has a freshman to keep an eye on 5'8 Alijah Stabler. She didn't have a great game today vs. Elkhorn North - mainly cause Elkhorn North was really keying on her. She did end up with 13, had 12, and hit the game-winning free throws in their Norris game. She averaged 17 a game this year. This was my first time seeing her in person, I'd seen her on tape a couple of times this year, really gets to the basket and finishes well - especially for a freshman. Prince is so much fun to watch. So calm, even when she forces things it's so smooth. When things were getting tight, she'd take a ball screen to the left, have 2 people on her and nail a free throw line jumper with hands in her face. She probably had a couple more turnovers in this game than she usually does, but I still think the thing that separates her from others is her passing ability.

Prayers for a safe recovery/treatment and good health in the future!. Much more important than seeing the Huskers in person. Hopefully we can get to a point like the short run in the mid-90's when tournament births were the annual expectation not viewed as generational events :).

I'll go with these guys. The second is with Springsteen.

Yvonne Turner and Dominique Kelley made a nice homegrown backcourt. They've done well with their basketball careers. If you include defense with offensive production, they were special.

You're probably correct in your statements. I was a junior in high school when Ivy graduated. I was watching her in the class A semifinals and it was like watching a goddess among children. I still do not think Britt matches her for quickness and hops. That be said, I'm not really sure I've seen anyone play a smooth and relaxed as Britt in Nebraska.

I watched her play against Bellevue West. She has good quickness and court savvy. I just don’t see how she can be a factor at the B1G level. I think she can be an energy player off the bench.

I was impressed with the Gesserts (Norah and Neleigh) after watching them play for the first time today. They are legit 6'1" perimeter players with excellent range and ballhandling for their size. The broadcasters on NCN said that for college, they are a package deal and it will most likely come down to Nebraska vs. Creighton. I think they would be good additions to Nebraska's roster.

I think we deserve the natty for this undefeated season. Hang the banner you cowards!

Here is my pick for the Rutgers game. Ricky Nelson was born in Teaneck, New Jersey, in 1940, and his family later relocated to Tenafly, before moving to Hollywood.

yeah, and take note of her quiet/calm focus/determination in the fourth quarter. Trailing by nine against a very active defense - not an ounce of panic or even worry was evident. Also, when she got robbed on her way to the basket after a steal (I think it was McCabe who fouled her three times on her drive up the lane) .... no CC style antics. No acting out. No looks of disbelief - just got up off the floor and went back to work.

Remember 2 years ago when people were saying if we have to play Sam Hoiberg we are in trouble. Lets give Kennedi a fair chance.

I just hope the first game isn't Thursday between 3:30 and 4:45 p.m. EDT. If it is, I hope my New Media Communication class likes basketball.

"A coterie of Omaha rooters made qulte a demonstration at tho beginning of the game...." Same as it ever was.

Just another triple double for Britt Prince in the state semis. Ho-hum.

I love reading about how the other half lives....lol I'm a disabled vet so I'm happy if I can even hear a game on a radio!!! I live vicariously thru you guys! As long as someone goes whre the game is and gives a full trip report, I'm happy...:)

It's not always how many minutes you get but how you use them.

Winning tomorrow almost assures us a 4 seed pending some bigger upsets happening. Wisco still has Rutgers at home and @Purdue. Could see them losing both. MSU has Purdue and lose that today, we’re guaranteed a tie with them. They’d have NW and Indiana left. Iowa has NW and @Illinois— I don’t see them winning both.

Ok, Wisconsin lost to Illinois so we’re back to a tie for 4th. Both Wisconsin and Michigan State still play Purdue so the Michigan game will have a lot on the line. We don’t care about standings for the tournament. But we do want a double bye to avoid a bad loss and to have a shorter run needed for conference. All these games are preparing Nebraska and other bubble teams for games with high stakes. What if Nebraska would make it to Saturday in Minneapolis and then get a win in the tournament!

One of my sisters bought The Four Seasons greatest hits album when I was four or five. I grew up on this music. Billy Joel wrote this song as a tribute to Frankie Valli and the Four Season.

If you read this it's about the state dropping charges. With Ullis, he's already pled guilty and gotten a plea. I'd assume the reddit thread above is the section where people can't read well

How about The Boss…

Have not yet seen her play. Hoping she can be like Emily Wood. Lot's of energy, lot's of hustle and just a bit of a hard ass edge. Coming off the bench like that can change a game for the positive.

If you're looking for some similar type of inspiration, just look at Sunderland AFC. Relegated from Premier League to Championship. Then further relegated to League One where they had been trying to claw themselves back into prominence. Failing at their previous six playoff appearances. Finally able to win and move back up to Championship. A story all too familiar to us. Seven appearances and no wins. Well...here we are. Let us dance and advance! https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/20110413.sunderlands-six-previous-appearances-play-offs/

They will!

If you're as old as I am..........Maurtice Ivy was as good if not better

Here’s the tweet I saw.

Im sorry to hear this! Prayers for a safe recovery and good news. Thankfully, in 2024, you’ll have the opportunity to 100% see it (even if it isn’t in person).

She can’t be mad, this is a money saver over the years!

Yeah, I know. I'd just rather have Simeon here with CJ next season. GBR

Flirting??

Well, this time I'm glad I missed it. At least it wasn't an L. Keep it going against Cream of Chicken.

Eh, they’re playing incredible ball since his comments. Which were obviously meant to motivate his team, and it worked. Sometimes being a prick is the right button to push. But yes I could definitely see Simeon transferring to Lincoln. Would be cool.

Were charges ever filed? I never heard of any. Was this a federal investigation, a State of Iowa investigation or just the NCAA trying to hold on to what little power they have knowing it's getting flushed down the crapper. If true the investigation is ending, whomever is responsible for the mess knows that the punishment is in the process. Shame on them. That's why no one trusts the justice system. Man, I never thought I'd be part of the counter revolution.

I am with you but afraid the fact we aren’t playing a highly rated Wisconsin team will naturally make it an impossibility to redo.

In marketing, there's a way to transform a one-off into a "ritual" (it's even often referred to by that name--"ritualization") where you can start doing what was done with wrestling, to name one example. The first Wrestlemania was supposed to be a one off. It turned into a multi-decadial cash cow by dding roman numerals to the end of it. You can do that here, too. No Sit Sunday I or II, etc. Think of al the t-shirts you could sell! At the very least, it's worth a good convo...

HOME WHITES IN THE TOURNEY YES PLEASE!

It’s hard to compare Prince with former NE high school stars without letting those players’ college careers influence the comparison. Nebraska has produced some excellent post players…Markowski, Shepard, Hooper, Emily Cady in the past ten years. Katie Robinette and Carla Bennet a little before that. In terms of guards though, I can’t remember any that come close to Prince in terms of all around game, skill, athleticism, size, etc. There have been good shooters like McCabe (Fremont) and Kastanek (LSE), and some good defenders/slashers like KK Houser, Vonnie Turner and Dominique Kelly. But Prince is significantly better than all of them at this point in her development.

BOTH is the only acceptable answer to your either/or question

One of the signs of a great player is making hard plays look easy.

100% win in the NCAA Tournament. It’s on my Bucket List and I’m not getting any younger.

Actually I sat on the Omaha Skutt side last year in the title game. North won 64-51.

Here’s mine: It’s going to be me and my wife. Twin 7 yr olds only if I find a cheap deal (like, Groupon tickets to Indianapolis $40 lol). Like Dave, I am pretty much committed to going no matter what. But I can’t buy tickets to all these places and then have to sell. And, the closer the better, but I’ll sit in the rafters if it means I get to see “it” finally happen. I’ll take any suggestions for this scenario as well.
