Petteway, Pitchford, White and Palmer sure did.

If I say this is the replacement for Heiman, would that help?

Here are two things I know for sure: Iowa State has a lower all-time winning percentage than Nebraska, and Nebraska leads the head-to-head series.

To add on to this, in his post-commitment interviews Cheatham talked about taking pride in defending the other teams best perimeter player and being a vocal leader. As for Kavas, I lived in Seattle the past year and enjoyed going to Redhawk games. I was fortunate enough to sit next to an elderly lady who’d been going to games since the 50’s. She loved talking about watching “Elgin (Baylor) and the boys” play when she was a student. Anyway, Kavas is all business. He has a quiet confidence and his teammates respect the hell out of him. His post-game interviews are hilarious. Very matter of fact and doesn’t care for small talk. He’s coming to Nebraska to shoot threes and he knows it.

If he can rebound, defend the paint, and run the court that's all we really need

I mean, I don't think that's a cardboard cutout of him wearing a Huskers jersey that Hoiberg is standing next to in the Hendricks center in the photo he tweeted out, so...

When tf did he visit? ??? Gonna have to tell Robin Washut and Chris Heady to do better lol

Who dis?

Roby will not be back. What will be interesting in the fall is how the pundits will rank NU in the preseason polls, with a new coaching staff and players who have not yet stepped on a Big 10 court. It will be anybody's guess, but I will be surprised if we are picked in the top 1/2 of the league by outside observers or if we are not picked in the top 4 by those of us at HHC.

It's almost like Hoiberg told his coaches/recruiters after Mack and Banton committed, ok guys we have enough sauces now, lets go get the meat.

Right. Even if Walker isn't immediately eligible, his presence in practice will help prepare Cross and Ouedraogo for the Big Ten season.

I don’t think you redshirt anyone that’s not a walk-on or because of injury. Fred will want to improve the roster and recruit over guys. Redshirting them only keeps them around longer.

Should I maybe wait a couple more hours just in case the roster changes a few more times?

Gimme a chance to redo my poll, guys. Have a feeling some will want to change their votes.

If he makes it back....

I would put the odds 19 points higher...

Hell. Half the time we haven’t even had 11 man rosters

NBD... just signed Ohio’s Mr Basketball as our last throwaway take-a-chance-on-a-guy commit. Unreal. Do we have a top 5 B1G roster at this point? Serious question.

Holy shit!

Fred knows he doesn't get as many football scholarships in basketball right? My goodness that is sealing the deal.

My head hurts

...but which way does his knee bend?

Fro sure.

So here's a tweet by Donovan Williams to Chucky Hepburn tweeting about D'Andre Davis. ?

He told Washut, "I can be a junkyard dog if you want me to be." I love that quote. Said he likes to defend and rebound. This really isn't sour grapes... but I was hoping Jayce Johnson wouldn't commit here. He said he's leaving Utah because he wants to be more of a focal point of an offense. He would not have been that at Nebraska. That made me think of Abdelmassih talking about having to be careful with grad transfers, and how they can potentially create locker room problems if they don't get what they want. Walker sounds like he fully understands what his role will be.

Imma go ahead and pick us at 14. My brain says we have too many question marks. But my heart is all

Am I spoiled already if my initial reaction is meh?

Omaha World-Herald: "Nebraska is not expected to add anyone else." Fred Hoiberg: "Hold my beer!" (signs a 6' 8" 238# transfer PF from Tennessee)

You may be right, and if so, I hope that would be the reason. But, he’s a stunning athlete and I see the potential for him to develop a consistent and accurate three-point jumpshot. I could also see him being a lockdown defender able to guard the 1 through the 4. He’s worth giving an opportunity to, one that could pay significant dividends.

Joahl Mcrayduh??

Preposterous! What kind of absolute moron would make such an utterly ridiculous player comp? Wait, what??

Does Norm making Dachon Burke's instagram stories count as "right away, year 1" stride hitting?

I'd take that finish to this season 100 times out of 100, and I'll defer to your knowledge on that subject. After all, I can barely pretend to know what I'm talking about with NU hoops. There's no chance in hell I can pull that off for ISU hoops. The last thing I need is to be Internet shamed on here by some random ISU fan for my lack of Clone hoops knowledge. (And I know you're lurking out there Clone fans. Coveting our coach is bad form, by the way. You've got your guy. And we've got your better guy.)

Due to the pretty even class distribution now in the roster I think we may be able to skip the EKG portion of the learning curve and go straight to the roller coaster instead.

Two months ago I was penciling Jervay in as a 20 point scorer. I now think the number is closer to 14. Maybe even 12. We look to have some real options so we won’t need someone to play hero ball.

Nah. Blackshear is just making sure Roby goes to the NBA before publicly declaring he is transferring here. Trying to channel my inner Chester on this one.

Didn't notice before but the #15 part is kind of cold-blooded. probably just a coincidence though...

@hhcmatt is going to need to build an extension to the Roster spreadsheet!

I should add, Norm, I'm just a sloppy body American. I am the definition of skinny fat.

He’s definitely not coming here. He watched Kevin Cross’ highlight video on YouTube.

Ntambwe is an anagram for 'went bam'

The funny thing here is the first person that came to mind was Trueblood, not Jack Hoiberg

Stevenson committed to Nevada on Dec. 20, 2018, at the end of the first semester. Here's the link to a story about his transfer from Pitt to Nevada. It is dated Dec. 20, 2018. His sit-out clock started when he announced he was leaving Pitt, which was on Dec. 17, 2018. So he indeed exhausted only a half-year of his eligibility. You can find that fact in the same article. His transfer redshirt clock will end at the end of the fall 2019 semester. He will have 2.5 seasons to play, at minimum. Tanner Borchardt was with Nebraska for the entire season, so he couldn't get time back. He didn't play, and he didn't transfer. That's his problem. Stevenson was with Pitt for only a semester last season. He was in Nevada this spring, sitting out the first of his two semesters, per transfer rules. He didn't play because he had already transferred. Also, players don't theoretically have eight years to squeeze in eight semesters of being on an active roster. The window is five years to be play four (10 semesters to play eight, with two consecutive semesters to sit out as either a transfer or a redshirt. Stevenson was on the Pitt roster for three semesters (1.5 years), he has sat one semester and has one more to sit (barring a waiver), and will have five semesters left (2.5 years). Sitting because you're not good enough to see the floor does not count as a redshirt or transfer year. The only question I have if Stevenson doesn't get a waiver to play immediately for Nebraska: When does the semester actually end in the fall? The last day of classes is Saturday, Dec. 14, and finals end Friday, Dec. 20. Can we play Creighton after Dec. 20? Please?

Jacob found some video that I posted on April 25 over on the Cross thread on the recruiting board.

Yeah we have a 33% chance at Ntambwe by my math. Not a pipe dream. Blackshear, that's a pipe dream.

If you and I (and @Searching 4 Chester Surles obviously) go to NY and pick Precious up and drive him back to Lincoln this week would that be considered a recruiting violation?

Tacko as a guard kinda makes Ed Morrow's desire to play the 3 look like child's play.
