He's under the weather. I took the liberty of flawlessly photoshopping him in.

Way ahead of where they were a year ago in terms of installing the system. Biggest change is shooting ability and then depth. A name we might not look at a lot who was mentioned twice is Keon Edwards, once because of his shooting and the second time because of his defense -- his ability to move his feet and his length. Depth, it's like in the past, if we had 8 legit players that could cover all positions, we felt pretty good. This year, there will be legit players who will almost never see the floor because our rotation won't go nearly as deep as

They just now realized he's a perfect fit for the system they run. I'm sorry, but this joke never gets old.

lookin' good! best of luck to Jaz!!!

If I remember correctly, Ty and Cookie are cousins???

You can basketball Herbie on a pair of shorts these day or even a repro of the 1993-94 team's shorts

Feels like you're on the verge of getting it

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO YOU PEOPLE ARE ANY MORE!

Let's see, Wilhelm at the 5 plus four other shooters. That should help spread the floor.

How did our special teams look?

Better get used to Wilhelm at the 5 as well. Sounds like he will play there. Interested to see how the minutes are divided at the post.

Rothstein announcing the starting lineups, Hoiberg's phone buzzes and he looks down. It's Rothstein, wishing him good luck tonight. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

I thought GHerbo was a lock to be the worst part of the event… I was very sadly mistaken with that assessment

Whoa whoa whoa. Hold your horses there friend. This story hasn't ended yet. Had last year been his final year you'd be correct. To add to your senario... but miraculously the player was given an extra year due to a once in a lifetime pandemic. This allowed him to rehab his shoulder and become the off the bench 3pt specialist that fans had always opined "why does the other team always have this unheard of player that comes in and just lights us up and we can't". He went on to shoot above 40% on 3's for the year and helped his team to thier 1st NCAA tournament victory.

Actually, it was the Nebrasketball thing that made his shooting tank. If I told you that a certain D1 team would get a transfer from a proven elite 3pt shooter, and that that player would develop a debilitating injury to his shooting shoulder upon transfer...what are the odds that team is not named Nebraska?

Keisei looks surprisingly sizable in that photo.

Verge almost signed a two-way contract. So if we can help him improve what teams want him to, he can get into the draft conversation as well.

Really unfortunately but considering he stopped eating meat his senior year for no particular reason it's not exactly surprising to read.

If he closes out there they don't have this video to tease us with. He did the right thing.

The plantation abides.

Sweeeeet. I am telling ya...this is a DUDE. He is going to play a lot of quality minutes for us.

I'm gonna need to get a judgement from @Norm Peterson on that release...

I watched it “live” you know he wanted to just come out & say we’re STACKED, but Fred is the master of restraint...

Washut recaps it here: https://nebraska.n.rivals.com/news/fastbreak-hoiberg-excited-for-official-start-to-season-this-week

Lat not starting would be a surprise but not a huge one. Xavier fans wanted CJ to play the 4 for them as they thought he was strong enough and smart enough to defend there. I have also heard they really like Zo’s defense so far since he’s been here. So it would not be our strongest def lineup, I think it would be ok and as you pointed out, that is some firepower on offense.

Based on listening to the McGowins' podcast, this picture looks like the most likely to be the first five we roll out. At least at the beginning of the season.

Not asking in a whiny way, but who do you go after? I would really like to see your list and way they would fit here. I am willing to finish the year but if we make a change I don’t want it to be a change because of change. I know that it is a crap shoot ever time somebody comes in but who might make it here and make a change for the best?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAM!!!

I kinda like Jon Rothstein.

Picked up an offer from Creighton today after McDermott watched him workout this morning. He fits the blueprint for both schools’ systems to a T.

I laughed way too hard at this.

More and more, I'm liking the LOOK of this TEAM! (and I'm just as glad to see the lack of 'hype' associated with 'irrational exuberance!')

Whi Which picture shows the knee brace?

thought she had hip surgery. didn't hear/read she tore her acl. that's a bummer.

Dillard had hip surgery last year. Was back practicing and tore acl about 2-3 weeks ago. Probably hasn’t even had surgery on it yet. That’s why the big brace

I'd bet hes a guy that waits until the spring. Obviously its a double edged sword there but it gives us a chance to see where we are at and if he has progressed since he didn't get a junior year of basketball.

What in the name of Fran McCaffery's blood pressure meds is going on here?!?!?

I look at Verge's numbers and I don't see Teddy. He comes across as a guy who drives to the rim where he either distributes or scores. He didn't shoot a ton of 3s in ASU's hero ball offense so more than likely he'll take the type of attempts that Dalano did: open shots from the corner or wing as part of the offense. Really hope he's one of these guys that can execute Hoiberg's 'make the simple play' mantra as he's going to touch the ball a lot when he's on the court.

Which means that sometimes it does

The interception was perhaps the second best thing that could have happened in that instance. Oklahoma would have benefited by simply batting the ball down. My lone issue, really, is our continued special teams ineptitude. Totally and completely unacceptable.

My silver lining in this game was the fact Oklahoma did not play a terrible game, and we still hung with them, despite our own mistakes. Martinez's one interception took an amazing catch, and actually turned out to help us. It gave us 25 yards of field position because if it drops incomplete, it moves back to the 33 yard line. Martinez has played extremely well this year. We need to figure out how to limit our mistakes. I'm hoping the offensive line can figure it out. Michigan State is going to be a monster test. They have played extremely well this year. I might put them ah

The dobo Amanda Hart was a small college assistant that probably has aspirations of coaching so she definitely can help out. The video guy was also a small college assistant so he can help out too if it doesnt affect his video coordinator job. We dont have a very big staff compared to alot of programs so unless theres other positions that just arent listed those are the 2 that should be able to step up and help out.

I think a lot of that has to do with a disgruntled former employee who held the position in which the stuff was happening for the coaching. I don't see Doc doing that even if he were let go.

1 year too early. You have to earn that. 20 wins and most everyone back and we will be there. It's doable.
