Not sure. I would be very surprised if the color scheme included blue and white though, so I would think that it is only temporary

A few things: Everything about the visit was great. Much better than he expected. Tummala had taken two visits before visiting Nebraska. Those visits were to Penn and Brown. He said he is no longer considering those two schools. He plans to take one more visit before committing. Other schools who have shown interest include BYU, Arizona State, Pittsburgh and Santa Clara, so it will be one of those schools. Plans to be done with visits by next Monday or Tuesday. Will make a decision within next two weeks. I agree with Kamdy and I would say that Nebraska hit a homerun with Sai's visit and is definitely the school to beat. Feeling pretty good about this one.

Thanks for the breakdown. He said he fits really well into the Miles offense and had a quote where he said something to the effect of, I think Miles would develop me and "eventually I could have a good role here." I think this could be somewhat related to what he said in quote he had in a Rivals article when he got the Nebraska offer: "There were numerous reasons why I decided to transfer," Tummala said. "One of them was financial, and another one was I really didn't think I was going to have the type of impact on the program that I wanted to have. I think there was definitely an opportunity to play, but I wanted to have a bigger impact. So I decided to go to junior college to a place where I could play 30 minutes a game and have a big impact on a team and win a lot of games. That's why I decided to leave."

Smith and Tummala are two different types of players, we need them both. I agree

He already has an offer. No question about it. Rivals Profile: http://rivals.yahoo.com/nebraska/basketball/recruiting/player-Sai-Tummala-150220 Excerpt from a Rivals article after he received the Nebraska offer: After scouting 6-foot-7 forward Sai Tummala of Salt Lake (Utah) Community College for more than two months, head coach Tim Miles officially offered the Phoenix native barely a month before the start of the spring signing period on April 17. "It was just really exciting," Tummala said of the offer. "I'm really excited about what Coach Miles is doing down there, and I mean, it's the Big Ten, which is a big-time conference. They have all the facilities and everything in place to be a winning program. I'm really excited about that." "There were numerous reasons why I decided to transfer," Tummala said. "One of them was financial, and another one was I really didn't think I was going to have the type of impact on the program that I wanted to have. I think there was definitely an opportunity to play, but I wanted to have a bigger impact. So I decided to go to junior college to a place where I could play 30 minutes a game and have a big impact on a team and win a lot of games. That's why I decided to leave." What makes Nebraska's offer interesting is the obvious need to bring in big men in its 2013 class. At 6-7, 215, Tummala definitely doesn't fit the build of a traditional physical low-post presence, but what he lacks in size he makes up for with a versatile skill set on both ends of the floor. As his stats would indicate, Tummala considers himself a good shooter, but he said he also takes pride in his ability to defend at almost any position on the floor and his aggressiveness on the offensive glass. Tummala said both Smith and Miles both told him they weren't necessarily as worried about bringing in just size and strength as they were finding the right fits for their system.

I've added a few teams, so my new list would be: Mizzou, Oregon, Georgetown, UCLA, Arizona, Memphis, Kansas St, Villanova, Marquette, and St Louis Mizzou, Oregon, Georgetown, UCLA, Arizona, Memphis, Kansas St, Villanova, Marquette, and St Louis will all probably finish at the top of their conference, and even have a legit chance to win their conference, so that is HUGE for Nebraska's RPI. I think there is a good shot that it could be St Louis. With the connection that Chris Harriman has with them added to the fact that they won the A10 last season (going 14-3 in conference) and have a great chance to tear through the conference again next season (Especially now that Butler and Xavier are leaving the A10 for the new Big East). The two teams that I think have the highest chance of being the opener are Oregon and St Louis.

I know that it's not the home of Husker Hoops anymore, but I figured it was close enough https://twitter.com/NUequipment/status/323127039563542528">

Awesome. Thanks

I haven't heard that he didn't, so I would assume that he made it down. I would think that Washut would have let people know if he didn't make it down when he was scheduled. I have no inside info. That's just what I would assume.

It's a message board. People have their own opinions. If you don't like what people are posting, then don't read it. The opinions of the other posters have just as much merit/validity as your post, or any of my posts. There has been nothing offensive posted. Apparantly it's ok if you have a post count of 1 and are assumed, by yourself, to be the all knowing Oz, I would hope the Admins would be proactive in monitoring and responding appropriately to these types of posts regardless of who they are directed at. I agree with the bolded section 100%. But, again, that's just my opinion and it isn't any more/less valid than yours, or the opinion of any other poster on this board.

Yeah. My thoughts exactly

P.S. I'm not trying to be combative or start crap with people. Not sure how things I post are perceived sometimes, but that's not my intent, so I just wanted to throw that out there. Also, I'm not saying that I think that Gallegos sucks. I just think that you want a starting SG to be more consistent. I think that if there is a player that can play SG and is more consistent, then that player will probably start ahead of Gallegos. That doesn't mean that I think Gallegos will be riding the bench the entire game, it just means that I think he will start the game on the bench and then come into the game a few minutes after the opening tip. I also think that if Gallegos is having one of his games where he can't miss a shot, then he will probably stay in longer, so Nebraska can ride the hot hand. This entire scenario is assuming that Nebraska will have many more options in terms of players that can score. And that they will have an option at SG that will be able to score at a higher percentage of shots attempted/ shots made. That is what I think is the case, so that is the assumption I make when I post things about my thoughts on whether or not Gallegos will start.

Umm...what? Since when do quarterbacks get passing yards for incompletions? I think he's saying 18 completions is more than 14 in his example. However, since Gallegos is about scoring, not yardage, the number in the hypothetical should be 18 for 30 with 4 touchdowns versus 14 for 18 with 2 touchdowns. Now maybe the RB and kicker pick up the slack for the 14 of 18 guy but if they don't, my "volume passer" is getting more points on the board. I would say that Gallegos is about the number of shots made in comparison to the number of shots attempted. Which is why I keep saying percentages.

Removed for inability to distinguish simple numbers. What? I don't even know what your post means. What I was saying is: Would you want your QB to go 18 of 30 passing (18 completions, 30 attempts), or 13 of 18 passing (13 completions, 18 attempts). While it is very likely that the QB that goes 18 of 30 in this scenario (18 completions, 30 attempts) will end up with more passing yards, simply because he has more attempts, doesn't mean that he was as effective/efficient as the QB that went 13 of 18 passing (13 completions, 18 attempts). While the QB with a higher number of attempts will probably have a higher total number of yards in this scenario, it was also at the cost of production from other players on his team (ie failed attempts, missed shots, incomplete passes). The QB with the higher number of attempts in this scenario also had a much higher number of incompletions. He was less effective/efficient. The QB with the higher number of attempts also threw 12 incompletions, while the other QB only threw 5 incomplete passes. So, the QB with the higher number of attempts also had the higher number of plays that he didn't allow for potential production from his teammates. To me this is like basketball. It's not about point totals, it's about the ratio of shots taken/shots made. It's a percentage. And the 3-PT% of Gallegos in Big Ten play was less than .300. He shot 130 more 3's than any other player on the team, so obviously, he had more points. But while taking 130 more 3's than anyone else on the team, he also missed many more shots than anyone else. That is how he can score more points than other players, while his 3-PT% is lower (less than .300) I'm not as impressed with a guy that scores a few more points, when he also shoots 130 more 3's than anyone else on the team.

To be it's about percentages, not point totals. I mean what would you prefer from a starting QB? Going 18 for 30 passing, or going 13 of 18 passing? The QB going 18 for 30 would more than likely have more passing yards, simply because of more passing attempts. Going 18 for 30 means that there were 12 incomplete passing attempts that took away carries from the RB. Going 13 of 18 means that there were only 5 incomplete passing attempts that took carries away from the RB. Like I said, to me it's about percentages, not total points.

What about the lost possessions due to missed 3-pointers? It's nice to point out all the points he scored as you did earlier in the thread, but if you shoot enough, you should score. It's pretty simple. But let's be honest, if Talley were returning this season, he would see a big decrease in minutes, ball-handling duties and scoring. This isn't just a Gallegos issue. Ubel, now he'd still be locked into a huge role. I really wish we had him for another season. But I really don't want to turn this into a thread bashing Gallegos, because he's a valuable player. But it's completely in the eye of the beholder. Some people say he missed shots because he played a lot of minutes and was one of only a few threats. There's a lot of merit to that. But I see a very limited player who has one real skill -- shooting. Maybe he can be more efficient and raise those percentages to around 40 percent from the field and 37 percent from 3. A guy like Gallegos, in my humble opinion, could thrive in a bench role where he comes in as the designated gunner where we run him around a bunch of screens and hopefully he hits a 3 or two while our starters catch a breather. If he's having one of his on-fire days, then we ride him. I really like having an explosive shooter off the bench to help carry the second unit. I truly don't look at this like it's a demotion. I just think he fits better in that role. I pretty much agree with this entire post
