    We have guys on our roster now who have transferred in from conference mates: Iowa Wisconsin Rutgers Washington UCLA Plus one from Utah. That's 6 power conference transfers in. Not sure if that's good or not but we will certainly have lots of guys with power conference experience on the floor this year.

    Berke is N!

    With all due respect to Eli Rice, this is an upgrade over Eli Rice if Rice was expected to play at the 4

  5. Well, I think this thread can really get serious now. If I had to guess today...I think we'll start the season with a smaller lineup of playmakers/shooters but with Meah as a rim protector to offset our size at 4. Rollie Worster / Ahron Ulis / Sam Hoiberg Connor Essegian / Sam Hoiberg / Nick Janowski Brice Williams / Gavin Griffiths Juwan Gary / Berke Buyuktuncel Braxton Meah / Andrew Morgan Out: Rienk Mast (injury) Braden Frager (redshirt) Justin Bolis (redshirt) There is so much you can do with this roster. There are so many questions the coaches will have to (get to) sort through. Just a few off top of my head... Is Sam Hoiberg really going to stay out of the rotation? I find that hard to believe. If Buyuktuncel excels this summer, is he your starter at the 4 and moving Essegian to the bench? Would they rather have Essegian's scoring off the bench anyway? Janowski will not be expected to get any minutes this season at this point. But I wouldn't forget about him... Other than Williams and Gary being in the starting 5, I am not confident in anything I just typed.

  7. I don't know how you could spin it any other way than good. My thinking is each one of these dudes know exactly the level of competition they're gonna face and the amount of work it's gonna take to be successful. No surprises. No adjustment period. Just nose to the grind.

  10. Unfortunately you usually don't finish the season with as many active players as you start with. Injuries happen. So it's nice we actually have some depth to work with. That's crucial for teams late in March and April.

  11. We have 11 guys as of now you can make a reasonable argument for being in the rotation. You almost never see 10 man rotations. Usually it is 7-8 guys. If I had to guess, Sam and Uhlis are going to be battling it out for a spot. Janowski is a guy I would expect to battle for minutes as the year progresses. Beyond that who the heck knows. Actually i don’t even know the above. It is exciting to have so many options. If a couple guys don’t pan out immediately it isn’t a killer. This has been one heck of an off-season.

    Actually, have heard we in fact are no longer recruiting Brazile.

  13. It does not appear any of them were run off either. Most of the fan bases were sad to see them leave (except maybe Ulis). I think it is a great sign for next year.

  15. Thats the Canadian step— it’s kind of like a Euro with a little more travel and carry involved. COMPLETELY LEGAL though.

  16. My impression has been, from a BYU basketball message board, that they viewed this recruit as a Plan B to Berke.

    Although much less likely now, let's not completely shut our minds to Trevon Brazile.

    If these new guys come in and have an impact on the team as big as Juwan's has been so far, color me pleased.

    I didn't ever feel like Berke signing was the Cuban Missile Crisis though they both took approximately the same amount of time to resolve.

    Next to a photo of a statue of a barefoot Jesus, his stigmata clearly visible on both his hands and feet, clad in a toga, sleeveless, with his right pectoral area (nipple alert!) bared, hair flowing down to both his shoulders and highlighting his full beard, are these words: "Clothing is inappropriate when it is sleeveless, revealing or form fitting. Hairstyles should be clean and neat and trimmed above the collar, leaving the ear uncovered. Sideburns should not extend below the earlobe and onto the cheek. Men are expected to be clean-shaven; beards are not acceptable. Earrings and other body piercing are not acceptable. Shoes should be worn in all public campus areas." I hope everyone else is impressed by the proper use of the semicolon in the BYU code.

    You tend to have more available money when your coach and most of your players leave. Looks to me that BYU keeps adding PFs that aren't Berke.

  32. I’m envisioning adding Buyunktuncel to this list and getting downright giddy. Do y’all realize he was the #36 overall prospect in his class according to 24/7? For reference, Bryce McGowens was our top-rated recruit ever and he was #28. Let that sink in. We’re talking about adding a BMac level talent, at our position of greatest need, to a roster that already looked like it should Dance.

  33. One thing that we need to remind ourselves is that part of coaching is just that, actually coaching basketball skills. We seem to get lost in thinking that Player A did this at his last school so that is exactly what he is and he can't be a different or better player for Nebraska and for Fred Hoiberg. Brice Williams was a 6th man. At Charlotte. He averaged 13.8 / 5.3 / 1.2 playing against AAC competition. He averaged 13.4 / 5.5 / 2.5 at Nebraska starting every game and playing in the Big Ten. Essentially you could say a guy whose role was Charlotte's 6th man in 2022-23 was arguably Nebraska's best and most important player in 2023-24 on the the best team we've had in a longggg time. He had more assists this season than he did in 3 years at Charlotte. No one last year would have been saying this guy would be doing all that. Rienk Mast shot 122 treys for us last year when his previous season totals were 92, 95, 68. Mast had 95 assists when his previous season totals were 37, 44, 70. He was more of an outside threat and distributor at Nebraska than he ever was at Bradley. Keisei Tominaga was not really a very good player for the first 1.5 years of his Nebraska career. Until Fred unlocked him and then he transformed his game into being a scorer both inside and out and getting to the free throw line. If you remember to 2021-22, he was not that whatsoever. Fred Hoiberg is our basketball coach. The Big Ten Coach of the Year and National Coach of the Year. He is by all accounts an offensive genius. Our system and sets immediately put our players in a better situation than they have probably ever been in in their lives. The difference between last year and previous years is he stopped just taking the highest rated player they could get or biggest name they could get and instead actually found skillsets that would complement each other and make for a tough, good team. I will give him the benefit of the doubt that the players he is bringing in is because he sees something in them that he can bring out.
