    Alonzo Verge Jr.

    https://247sports.com/college/nebraska/Article/Nebraska-Huskers-basketball-Alonzo-Verge-Jr-173387527/ Nice write-up on Verge. A lot of times guys like Banton will get feedback from the NBA about a skill they need to improve on and it will be something like 3pt shooting and you then have a guy working on a weakness while you're trying to win games. With Verge being told to work on his PG skills, it feels more like this is an ability he already possesses and this is a team that doesn't have someone like Remy Martin who is probably a superior version of Verge. To me it seems like we aligned vision for success and we'll see if that happens or if Verge ends up shooting too much for either of our benefits.

  4. There are two things that Doc Sadler consistently tweets 1. Quote retweets talking about how good the Cowboys are compared to Lance Jeter's Steelers in what should either be replies or a text conversation 2. Retweeting Gus Yalden tweets

  6. Seems noteworthy that Breidenbach and not Andre was running with the first team

  7. Expectation is we'll cut down on turnovers because players trust more that the next guy will make the next right play. And, also, we have more shooters, and it helps your assist numbers when shooters make shots. Nebraska Basketball: With a roster full of playmakers, simplicity is key for NU (rivals.com)

  8. That is apparently how his teammates refer to him.

  9. If Breidenbach merely matches the freshman year stats that you imagine Kurt Rambis had, would you be: a) disappointed, b) indifferent, c) happy, or d) ecstatic? Then actually look up Kurt Rambis's college stats and answer the question again.

    I'm having issues with Tapatalk too. I thought I was the only one using Tapatalk on this site. FWIW, @hhcmatt is already aware of the issue.

  11. Awesome sneaker info that I didn't expect to get today. This is why I subscribe to this board! But really though this is good insight. Just be happy we aren't Under Armour. No players are rocking the Under Armours off the court.

  12. Rothstein is funny because he comes across like a basketball cyborg, which is a combination of impressive and odd.

  13. tl;dr Yeezy isn't giving Nebraska (or anyone else) anything Yeezy functions much more like an independent brand than Jordan. Yeezy has a very minimal marketing budget and it is largely Kanye's choice what it is spent on. He chose to spend the vast majority of last year's budget on his Sunday Service touring operations. He outfits those around them in the Yeezy brand and relies on their status as social media influencers for more grassroots promotion. Also at this point Yeezy is a lifestyle brand, not a sports brand. They've made one pair of football cleats that were absolutely terrible and have produced one model of basketball-focused sneaker but those have largely been ignored by the sports world and have minimal resell value. The latter was released during NBA ASW in Chicago but little has come of it since then. I would expect this to change very soon though given that Kanye has recently purchased the former Stoneridge Prep in Simi Valley, CA and opened-up The Donda Academy, a tuition-free school that is seeking to teach K-12. They've already signed several 3 and 4-star basketball recruits and they are of course outfitted by Yeezy. Currently, there is a dearth of Yeezy products on the bodies of student-athletes and coaches at Adidas schools. Back when he was still at Louisville, Rick Pitino would sometimes wear Yeezy 350s when scouting recruits. Immediately after signing-on as coach of Nebraska, Scott Frost was seen wearing some Copper Yeezy 350 V2s. These were clearly purchased by him personally to try to stunt at his press conference and I've never seen him wearing any other Yeezy products. His Lincoln home was robbed shortly afterwards and his sneaker collection was stolen so that may have contributed to his lower profile lol Similarly, if you ever see any of our basketball players in the real world you will rarely see them wearing Yeezy. Most actually wear Jordan sneakers, even at Husker sports events. The only player I've ever spotted rocking Yeezy was Thor once when I saw him show up to a football game at Memorial wearing some Blue Tint Yeezy 350 V2s. Everyone that has been at the football games this season have been wearing Jordans or Nikes. Trey McGowens has a pair of Off-White Nike Dunks he likes to wear, but so far the undisputed sneaker king of the team has been Lat Mayen who showed-up in some Off-White Sail Jordan 4 that resell for $3,000+ in larger sizes. NIL money, baby!
