What made Doc Sadler likable for me was his press conference after getting fired, I believe that was 2011, my senior year of high school. Maybe he's just an emotional guy, but he came across as someone who genuinely cared about the job and the program. Ever since then I have had a very high opinion of him. Funny enough, that same year, I competed against his son Landon numerous times in debate, I believe he went to Lincoln Southwest. Very smart and outspoken opponent. I had the chance to meet Doc at the Mall of America in 2020 right before everything was shut down and it reaffirmed my opinion of him. Very kind, down to earth guy. Just my perception of him.

This is the big caveat when it comes to recruiting. It takes a critical eye to discern what will translate to the next level and what won't. As an example, I was very excited for John Christofilis to step on the court this season, his YouTube videos showed off his shooting skill. Spot up, pull up, off of screens, he looked like the total package. But he never made it onto the court except garbage/desperation time and hasn't shot the ball well in practice. My assumption is that he needs time and physical development to apply that shooting skill to higher level basketball. Physically gifted players are more likely to make an impact right away. Guys who can jump out of the gym, or are taller than their position. Level of competition is important too. Ryan Nembhard went up against a lot of talented players at Monteverde.

McGowens is slipping out of the first round on draft boards.. No chance he comes back for another year with Trey to improve his game and his draft stock?

And why would something get published at 3pm on a Friday... makes no sense.

God, even your program's allegations are underwhelming disappointments /s Personally I couldn't believe the story when I saw it on BJU .. but to see it get repeated on social media and other boards, plus connecting it to Matt's recent leave.. it made me wonder. And I still am somewhat suspicious about all the smoke in absence of a fire.

best of luck folks. Really have no idea who wins tonight, except that they will probably have the better 3pt percentage.. i leave you with a selection from my favorite El Paso-based punk band ...

Lots of talent and question marks for both teams. Will be the most thrilling game since '18

I'm looking forward to the November 16 match. a lot of uncertainty with a young team!

All three have signed.

players coming out in support of Coach mac. Mo watson said he should be "forgiven but not excused". I like that distinction. Still not sure what to think going forward, i hope the university takes into account the players' feelings above all else.

agree. I am pretty confident in saying Mac isnt racist. He's an incredibly nice guy and I've never heard a character criticism from former players or coaches. His comment was a slip of the tongue, I am certain, but it was also a sign of systemic racism. And that may deter players from choosing to play basketball at Creighton. Tough decision to make here. I hope its made with a 'business-first' mindset, because again, I don't believe Mac is a racist and you could think of this as a 'first-strike' conduct violation.

yes they play defense in the nba lol. only the best offensive players get away with not playing any defense

I still think Ballock would have gone to KU had he not injured his shoulder and missed his entire junior year.

Final score doesn't reflect how competitive this game was for 30 minutes. Turnovers and weak 3pt defense is what I thought gave creighton the advantage. You guys have a lot of talent that just needs more time together. Never seen so much talent on a nebraska team. Hoiberg already paying dividends. Good game, and good luck the rest of the season.

since we joined the BE its been 4 foreign recruits - krampelj, epperson, and the two guys in this class. good strategy IMO, cast a wide net

I think what is the worst about these injuries is these guys are away from home. I can't imagine rehabbing that serious of an injury with the help of doctors who don't speak your native language, far away from your family and most of your friends.

bumping because i forgot to give an update. the brisket was awesome, smoked it for about 15 hours overnight. it fed 6 people on friday, 3 on saturday and today, and tomorrow I'm making chili with whats left and that should last me through most of the week as a single guy. quite a deal, considering i paid 80$, 25 of which was shipping. thanks again @cipsucks! expect another order some time before summer is over, a bigger one this time.

Cip gave me quite the deal on some brisket, i'm smoking it on father's day but the temptation to crack open the package upon arrival will be strong..

brisket is good value at $7/lb, let me know when you get more of it in stock! @cipsucks

i gave 25 bucks. I cannot imagine that level of tragedy befalling anyone.

according to hoyatalk, this one was seen coming by a few people. they got worried when ewing went out of his way to clarify that mac was going to return. that was a couple weeks ago, if you go look at their 100+ page thread on him, people suspected something like this and have connected it to the dismissals from earlier in the season.

It seems like the levee has most assuredly broken

so will the team get tested when they return to nebraska? man this is nuts. thoughts out to fred and the men's team.

Could a test come back that quickly? Wouldnt it be a blood test?
