Need another scorer not going to lie the moves Fred has made so far seem underwhelming 

I wouldn’t necessarily call a multiple year starting PG at Utah, a former top 25 SG, and a big man who we beat another B1G team (who was closer to home than us) underwhelming.  Especially when we’ve basically upgraded/equaled out each position we’ve lost.

Lawrence - Woosley 

Diop/Keita - Morgan 

Rice/Tominaga - Griffiths

and we still have 3 ships to fill.

Dude is an absolute legend and his fame continues to grow!

Please not Creighton.

well, lovely headline to wake up to

It’s been too long since we’ve had a “real” rock bottom thread.  
 

LOL

Biggest Fear #204748- We get torched by a former player in a game that matters.

Best of luck to Eli.  Hope he finds a solid role and scores 15 PPG except against us.

This Auburn writer thinks so.  Or maybe even hopes so? Lol!

Does this allow in season transfers at any time?

According to Washut on visits:

• Payne's visit is off; and
• Hausen from Villanova will probably be visiting.

Did it hint on Payne not visiting meaning good things with Kyle or just that we/he is no longer interested?

1. Kyle (but will take Payne)

2. Igor

3. transfer guard with a speciality.  I don’t care whether it’s getting to the hoop or knocking down 3s at a 40% clip.  I want them to have a speciality they are confident in and know their role.

4. Leave open until at least players who declared for draft decide whether they’re in or out.  There’s usually a little mini rush on the market once this happens as players you thought might stay/be gone do the opposite.

We're getting a visit from Essigian, assuming he doesn't commit to Indiana on his visit there.   

Oh?  Nice!

Didn't turn him down directly, but indirectly, we declined to dig deep and come close to what Xavier was willing to pay.  

Im taking this as a “we had bigger fish to fry” type scenario?

Why do we PH Buttenbach when Brumbaugh flew out to the warning track 2 x today?  That was his 6th at bat of the season.   I would have rather had Walsh in that spot.

Freshman looked like a deer in the headlights there.

Just another gut punch.  Wouldn't worry about hosting-- I'd just worry about playing well enough to actually make the post season with the way things are going at this point in time.

I just don't get it.  Were we just not as good as it looked earlier in the year?  This should not be happening.  Mid-week struggles are going to kill us again this year.

100% this. He will not get anywhere near top dollar till he proves his knee. He will have top Drs and rehab free here. No brainer to stay unless he is just done with going to school 

Could almost wrap up a masters in two years as well.

Say what you will about recruiting rankings, but Griffiths was a top 40 recruit by Rivals, by ESPN, by 247 Sports and by ON3. He played one season of college basketball and has three years remaining and is a 6-8 shooter. If Fred helps this kind find his stroke (which he will)...

I was actually referring to Banton and Fred helping him take the next step and realizing his potential.

The first thought I had when I saw Griffiths play against us was he’s going to the league.  Makes sense his accolades were that high.  Enormous ceiling.  
 

Worster looks like a nice big body PG who can really pass well and is elite in P&R (not a shooter).  
 

Both would be phenomenal, but GG is the one I’m most excited about of all the possible ones we’re in on.  Crazy skill and trigger for 6’8”.  He would start at the 3 and be a problem.  

Similar to another early Fred player who happened to get drafted and now is playing meaningful minutes in the league?

Someone sent me this— appears KT is engaged!

Fidler not announcing because Fred found extra NIL money for him in 13th hour (see Morgan) or because MSU made him reconsider his Wisconsin lean? 

Or Wisconsin dropped a bag to make him consider transferring at all?  All signs pointed to him possibly going back to UNO it sounded like.

Fildler will not announce this morning.

Former Husker NBA record you say?  I’ll take it.

Not a good series.  Not a good week.  Almost need to go 4-0 next week to get back in the hosting convo.

This HP ump has been awful!  We shoot ourselves in the foot 100% but we haven’t had much help.

This seems like a decent spot for the conference.  Are we always this high?
