I think they had to cover all their bases and see who was interested. Think Trev was who they wanted all along but I’m pretty sure it was not an easy decision for him to make the change. Do not think he was interested last time they were hiring.
Fred is not a fan of Pollard, so no go
Davison will not even be considered, OWH shows how clueless they are by throwing out his name.
Give Moos credit, he did what was needed. Don’t buy for a second all these coaches come here if Eichorst was still the AD.
He really needs to get much stronger and explosive. Was hoping he would do that in his redshirt year. It would really help his ball handling, defense, finishing at the rim, and even his jump (set) shot.
He will easily win more than 4-5 games. Haarberg is not a walk on, had very nice D1 offers and Clemson kicked the tires. Smothers is young but talented too. Defense will have at least 6 guys coming back next year with many more experienced guys.
A guy to watch is Jay Dawson, 6’4” guard at central. Got his first D1 offer and is off to a great summer. Mike Sautter had a good article on him and Nebraska has been in contact apparently along with a couple other P5 teams and a lot of mid majors like Drake and NDSU
Dang, just watched some highlights. He is not super athletic but is a very nice baller handler and passer as well as a good shooter. Very interesting
edit: looks like he ran the point a lot, seems like someone Fred would love
‘Agreed but do you think they would have taken both? I guess they would but seems they went hard at Keon after TGF went south. Good problem to have. 2-4 guys are already probably going to get a lot less minutes than they think but competition is a great thing.
‘Think you are right. I think the Kansas kid was more explosive but Keon is hopefully a little more skilled. Guessing they went after the KU kid first because he is more ready to go day 1 and they expect to make a big jump this year. I’ll take the freshman myself
Bryce, Wilcher, Keon, WB, and Nets is an incredible group of Freshman this fall. Jury is always out till we see what they have on the court but I think Matt is living up to his reputation at least going by rankings.
Seems we haven’t fired anyone. I believe people wanted coaches fired for not recruiting good enough even though currently we have a top twenty class coming in. One of the guys requested to be fired was not even allowed to recruit, oddly enough. Let’s not change the narrative
