And that Storm may allow me to attend way more than just winter break Huskers games! I recently accepted a Math Instructor position with SCC Beatrice, (hence the Storm) and my partner and I will move to Lincoln in late July! The Hard Hat is back!

This is all I've got... Not great results. Still many question marks on this season and the next. But these kids...these college student athletes. They've been through a wild season and managed through a pandemic as well. I appreciate the work they put in. I'm happy they got to play nearly all their games. And they wore the Nebraska script on their jerseys the best they could. We'll get back at it next season, but I appreciate the effort put into this one, especially given all the circumstances out of our control.

One key to the game: a season low 3 FT attempts

@hhcmatt can you disable Johnson's account please?

I will never understand this type of thinking. There are few people anywhere as invested in the fortunes of the Husker hoops program as Thor. We need more guys on the team like him, not less, IMO.

Roby now has more career starts than Justin Patton and Khyri Thomas combined. Feels good.

How many times have we asked ourselves... "where does Purdue find these goofy, awkward 7 footers who put up 20 on us?" Time for the tables to turn. Welcome young man!

1. Who the hell else is going to be on my team from year to year? I plan on being here 3-4 years. This is my team, my family, the people I am going to spend the most time with. Is every year going to be like Freshman Orientation at the dorm? You say this like you feel this is exclusive to Nebraska. The turnover is everywhere. In fact, regardless of your plan to stay here for 3-4 years, odds are that you'd be transferring (or "shown the door") yourself. I suspect most of the kids in the transfer portal were planning on staying at their respective schools for the long haul. Plans change. 2.

We just got a guy who is willing to come off the bench, can put up 20+ in a game, and is a free scholarship.

Teddy Allen is scoring 0.967 points per possession, which Synergy classifies as "very good" and in the 73rd percentile. He's "very good" both in the halfcourt and in transition. He's in the 72nd percentile or better in each of his top four play types (spot up = 1.033 PPP, 72%; transition = 1.173 PPP, 74%; off screen = 1.128, 76%; P&R ball-handler = 0.921, 82%). He's also in the 64th percentile in isolation after that Penn State game, scoring 0.867 PPP ("good"). Teddy is above average at almost everything he does offensively. The man-to-man defense and turnover issues are a prob

Hope your hand is okay ;)

Teddy shouldn't be the focus on "what's wrong with this team?" Bart Torvik rates him our most effective player, by a decent margin over Delano and a large margin over Trey. Yeah, his behavior is troubling, but a year ago everyone was convinced that FH would handle him. So he's exactly what we thought we were getting, except now the team is crap and some people are looking to point fingers. We signed up fo: a high-volume, high-scoring player with some baggage. We have one.

And being replaced with better talent. The entire point of coaching is to recruit talent better than what you have. The guys we had are going to places like South Alabama, Pacific, etc. We are in the Big 10 and need Big 10 players. They were bodies in a lineup and we will continue to get more and more players in that fit the mold.

Based on this I figure this is what he should look like when he's ready to play in 2 years

No one was “to be fair” to us when we had no Walker for much of the season. And no one was “to be fair” to us when our players had to sit out for a month mid-season. And no one is “to be fair” to us when our players struggle with post-Civid fatigue. And no one is “to be fair” to us when we play a game every other day (with a back-to-back slipped in there just for the heck-of-it).

Recruiting the transferring brother of the 5-star recruit is the new black.

These are the same people that would go up to him to try to get a photo with him after the game if we had a winning record in the Big Ten. * Correction...these people don't even attend the games; they get their hoops news from social media, look at our record, complain, then move on to something else.

Hard to hold a grudge against anyone that's just trying to maximize their exposure during a very narrow window of opportunity. I personally want the best for any former Husker and the existence of this thread would seem to indicate most others do, as well. Sallis, like any other recruit with one-and-done ambitions wants to play in nationally-televised games. He can't achieve that here, but I hope he does elsewhere and that his success leads to increased exposure for other local players in the future.

Questions: Does anyone know if they are going to put cardboard fans in the seats later in the year and if someone will be appointed to take half of them to the parking garage with 5 minutes left in a game?

is the steal hire of the decade in college basketball. Can’t say it enough... He’s that dude.

I found the final tipton edit!

My wife just recieved a care package from our sister in law and my brother back in Nebraska. We are about to have our first child. My sister in law tucked a little something special in the care package for me

He needs to support his family, so I'm guessing he's hoping for a Creighton or Kansas offer.

Robin might want to avoid going to the CHI Health Center up in Omaha next season if he's trying to avoid a bunch of garbage bags.

Yeah, it's back to Thor bashing.

No inside info on Shamiel, but I would think that he would be playing with his hair on fire in the minutes he does get in order to earn more. Thor is not terrible. Yvan is not terrible. Are they limited at this level? Yes. But they are still valuable contributors to the team and so is Lat. I'm all for constructive criticism when warranted, but none of these guys deserve to be called terrible.

Lebron is putting thousands of kids who come from nothing—like he did—through college. He is simultaneously helping register thousands of people across the country to participate in our democratic process while managing to be arguably the greatest player ever and winning championships. All things considered, I think his demonstrated empathy for those less fortunate lends itself to a place at the political table. It’s been quite interesting to see Black athletes uncensored and taking over the voice of the organization they continue to revolutionize. More ki

Any truth to the rumor that he has a younger brother that is a 5*???

He won the job from Buddhist Monk who wasn't a great fit

Yeah I thought it was you @Lohusker Also, time to update his projections

Currently has more career points than the guy he was traded for, Justin Patton

A lot of ways to go with this one, but I decided to highlight the 16-0 run Wisconsin went on in 5 minutes to really win the game. Possession by possession breakdown and then full thoughts. Here we go... 33-32) Potter duck-in on Yvan after PNR (2 points) 33-34) Banton blows right by Wahl for a weakly contested layup. Miss. Yvan O-rebound, miss 33-34) Potter easy post touch and squares up Yvan. Thor doesn’t wall off Potter, Yvan falls for shot fake, and Potter steps thru for easy layup (2 points) 33-36) Good action gets Banton downhill with left hand. Banton is thinkin

Or maybe Yvan was having a career game in terms of the quality of his play and Fred didn't want to mess with it.

I have 90 calender days left at work, for the last 43 yrs I have walked through the doors of a state office (Roads}. And that will end on Oct 2nd, it is a bitter sweet time for me. I have been telling stories of some of the stuff I have seen and done in those 43 yrs. It is time for the young bucks to take over. I just wish that they would listen to me when they ask for advice.But it is up to them to make thier minds up. I can only tell them what I would do. I have had many close calls (Death/ injuried) I got luckly about a month ago, when a backhoe swung around nearly hitting me. I hit deck, g

Fred's rebuild should be quicker knowing that we're playing in a mid-major conference.

You'll be missed, Yvan.

This is interesting and bodes well for the future. Our offensive sets and philosophy clearly don't seem like they have been the issue this year. Hopefully we have some more horses next year to better execute the easy shots this offense generates!

Fred Hoiberg and Co. recruited Teddy Allen, Delano Banton and Derrick Walker in the first class. The second class includes Trey McGowens--which also results in the signing of his five star brother. Next year's class, including that brother, is a top-25 class. We have a great start on 2022 with a highly-sought big. The fact that Delano couldn't play the first season and Derrick couldn't play the first season and a half is significant in difficulties that have occurred--not to mention the pandemic-induced, month-long shutdown. My vote and confidence on recruiting

:10 Ok, we're just about ready in two :09 In one :08 Go :07 I said "GO!" :06 "GO, DAMN IT!" :05 WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?! :04 GET OUT OF THERE!! :03 NO! :02 NOOOO!!!! :01 (Holds breath) :00 FUUUUUUUUUUU.........KKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!

My first impression was that your first two paragraphs were a parody on some famous historical book/play/quote that I'm not well educated or well read enough to figure out. Then I kept reading and I really do think you've just hit a breaking point in your fandom. To each their own but I view my fandom as somewhere between eternal optimist and realist. I guess the one perspective I've learned over the past several years is that there is no point for me to live or die off of what a collection of 18-22 year olds do in a game or season. Sure, I get frustrated as most do on here but at the end

Yesterday, the team came out and one by one named someone they were standing for. At the end Kobe Webster and Teddy Allen read from notes they had brought with them. Webster: "We stand together as one to find ways to educate people to hopefully stop this terrible trend of lives being lost for no reason. This is not a political fight. This is about being a decent human being. Hate is such a strong word that is unfortunately used and acted on too much in today's world. We know we are not going to change everything that is going on by standing here today.

Just to bring this thread completely off the rails Goodbye Kevin Cross Though I never knew you at all And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Taking all those 3pt shots Because they left you open

We're going to have a good team. There are no clear weaknesses on the roster for the first time in a loooong time. I don't know if we have any super stars, but we have some very, very good players. Fred has pulled off a recruiting miracle in year 2. When he brings in the gunners next season and a 4* stretch 4, it's going to be downright scary how we can scheme. But that's because he's a top 5 coach in the country and the coaching steal of the decade. I cannot wait to watch this team play.

I mean, so did UC Riverside, Southern Utah and North Dakota; so one could be excused for taking that statement with a huge grain of salt. (did I do the semicolon correct here?)

Don't hold your breath.

One good way to not even accidentally dog on Thor could be talk about any other player on the roster at some point.

If you want to dump on Yvan, please don’t use this thread to do it. He’s the only available player we have right now who can D up against Big Ten bigs. We need him. I am wondering what the coaches are doing to help him work on his shooting technique. If you have a chance, watch him shoot free throws. Most players (and by “most“ I mean everybody else) will cock the wrist of their shooting hand as they wind up for the shot. Yvan does not. It’s like a straight line from the back of his hand all the way down his forearm. This means he’s shooting primarily with the muscles of his tricep an

Surprised people aren’t discussing Banton more. We have one of the most unique players in the country. He’s special. Truly ambidextrous on the court. Point guards feel for the game at 6’9”. He’ll likely lead our team in assists and rebounds. He also seems like a great leader. Always talking on the court and encouraging teammates.
