I think Worster and Morgan start.

Man I feel like essegian is the best player we have gotten in the portal so far and you guys don’t even think he’s gonna start. 1. worster 2. essigian 3. Williams 4. Gary 5. Morgan is my starting 5 for the time being. Not sure what happens if we add a starting caliber 4 through the portal yet. Hopefully Gary really works on that 3 pointer if we find a starting 4 still

It's not that I lack confidence in Essegian, but I recognize he plays the same position as Williams, and he's not beating B-Will out. I think he'll get a ton of minutes at the 2 & 3, but Griffiths will start to give us more positional size on defense.

In one of Berke’s highlights I saw him shoot imaginary arrows into the crowd after a made shot and it gave me nightmares

Pretty sure it's hard to break up fights without hands on. No, I've watched literally thousands of games and I cannot say I've seen a single instance where the officials have put hands on in any kind of intimidating manor. I have, however seen hundreds of examples where they should have stepped in earlier. I've also seen hundreds of examples where the reverse is true, or when players have gotten in their faces and unloaded the full 4 letter word dictionary and haven't so much as drawn a T. No it's time the NCAA steps in and gives the officiating some fire power to manage games

I’ve got a Hunch Fred’s got an Ace or Two up his sleeve to fill those last spots. But you have to be happy with where we’re at right now.

No reason to be embarrassed. Most of us are technological idiots.

I usually like Dirk's writing. I think he's completely wrong about this take. Among the accolades arriving: Essegian - All Big 10 Freshman Morgan - All Summit Second Team Meah - All Pac 12 Defensive Team Worster - Stat stuffer at 9/5/5 in the Pac 12 Griffiths - Freak specimen and Top 50 out of HS who showed major flashes as a TFr Janowski - Top 25 SG out of HS Frager - Top in-state prospect That's a ridiculous haul already to go along with Brice and Juwan. To me it's obvious we're gaining a lot more than we lost. I really don't get the cynicism at this point.

8 seed again? Is this the right place to file my official complaint that the program is stagnating?

Your eBay will arrive in a week.

but the rule pertains to ... "anyone who disrespectfully contacts an official or makes a threat of physical intimidation or harm to include pushing, shoving, spitting, or attempting to make physical contact with an official." Yes, I have shaken my head a few times when noticing that an official put hands on a player. But I have never seen it as an act of threat or intimidation or disrespect.

This is way too funny! @LincecumFan, if you can navigate your way through this, send me a personal message with your name and address and I'll get some jerky sent your way. You made my day!

I'd worry more about him never playing again then i would about being outbid by the Euro league

I just want to hear Kent Pavelka pronounce "Buyuktuncel"!

Appears we are making him a priority. Robin says keep your eyes on this one.

With the reasons you state I go the other way with it. Mostly due to NIL. With his age, the injury, and rehab I would think he's MORE likely to stay 2 years. Gonna have to prove the knees good before you sign that 1st big pro contract. So we have to worry about another program offering a bag of cash to him after he's sat out a year? Probably not. But I bet the NIL collective here takes care of him. No knowledge just a hunch. Will he want to prove his knee is good in a system he's already been in for two years with coaches he knows and a role that's already well defined? Probably.

He’s only gotten better every year of his career. 11% 22% 26% 30% if the trend continues one more year, 34% seems up next

You should see Dirk coach his son’s youth basketball games. He’s the Bo Pelini of youth basketball.

Sorry, my mistake. There are times the Pony Express is late getting to Scottsbluff.

That the World Herald staff writers are just a collection of Creighton bitches.

Bolis is a Lincoln native and went to HS at Lincoln High. Had a nice year at Southeast CC where he averaged 15.5 ppg and 8.7 rpg Clocks in at 6'9" View full article

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!! Now for the sweep.

Hey wait a minute I resemble that remark remeber when if you accidentally pushed the down arrow you had to quickly write a my bad also spelling cann be hard

I saw game one of PHX-MIN with my boy, we sat near the court, and man, is ANT MAN an incredible talent! Holy moly!

It was just a joke.... I know. We have several Neanderthals on here, right sliver?

No, just one person showing off his ignorance.

I agree with you, he was terrific as a freshman before the injury. He moves to get open and uses screens well. He may not be KT, but he can provide similar movement in the offense.

This is one of the harder starting lineups to predict

Purdue wins— Illini lose

The Timberwolves deserve more love than that. They're having a terrific season - probably the best since Kevin Garnett was there. And what about the Lynx?

I’m a transplant up here, but this pecking order would explain why they let “row the boat” be printed on everything, even though the guy who brought it here would be gone with the first good offer.

The Reason PJ cancelled the Spring Game is because he didn’t want people to see that EMPTY Stadium on TV.

The problem is not necessarily just playing time. Each player has handlers and total free agency. Everything could be absolutely fine, and then another team steps in with the "right offer" and he's gone.

I still think Janowski is going to be a big factor.

Might have seen this guy when I was watching Almar Atlason video

I'm giving a two-deep, with each guy only listed once in the position where I think they will log the majority of their minutes: 1 - Worster / Ulis 2 - Williams / Janowski 3 - Griffiths / Essegian 4 - Gary / Frager? 5 - Meah / Morgan * The lack of depth up-front is glaring; we need another guy there. I assume in reality it would currently be a 3-man rotation (Gary/Morgan/Meah) for those 2 spots, much like last year with Mast, Allick, and Gary. If we sign a starting-quality stretch 4, this will need major revisions.

Williams and Gary will probably combine for 10 more points per game simply due to volume increase. A lot of Keisei’s volume will go to Williams and he finished the year on a tear. Brice was the second best 3pt shooter on the team behind CJ…and I think Gary will see a big improvement in his 3 point shot after another full healthy summer of learning under Fred.

Brice Williams is the Keisei replacement. Essegian is the Wilcher replacement. If you consider both ends of the floor, I would call this an upgrade.

It’s not that I don’t think he can, but he is undersized there against most teams. Just like I don’t think Brice can’t play point guard, but I’m glad he’s gonna get a season to focus on playing off the ball.

Justin Patton kicked his ass in a pick-up game in Omaha.

Do you really follow Chatelain? I don't think anyone in Rising City does...

They've known about Mast this entire time

He just stirs the pot all the time, I just ignore him.

Fred has been much better recruiting fit over flash. Call me crazy, but I Much prefer this class to 5 stars and flashy transfers. I guess the disclaimer to that is we get another starter caliber 4 in the portal (which we will).

Could anyone beat Nebraska in a 3 on 3 walk-on tournament? NO

Yeah that’s about as good as it gets as a walk on.

First, Mast seems like a great dude and him and Fred seem to have a very good relationship. Mast is always very complimentary and respectable when talking about Fred so It would really surprised if he didn't play the 25-26 season

If he wasn't planning to play here in 25-26, we would give him a medical retirement redshirt like we did with Chris Neiman and he wouldn't count towards the scholarship limit. I'd bank on him playing for us in 25-26 unless he is physically unable.

Unlike Jeffrey Toobin (Sorry this is O.T. and in poor taste-I'm bored this morning).
