Curious what you know as I do know he was caught smoking weed but this could be a separate issue.

He was caught smoking weed

I'm all for a challenging non-conference schedule but doesn't do us any good if you lose all the difficult games which we did last year. At this point, Fred needs W's and gain this team some confidence. We can help our SOS once we get to conference play. The downside is you can't afford to lose any games to teams with 200+ or 300+ KenPom ratings.

If he is projecting CJ to be a starter, I don't put a lot of stock in his evaluation.

He will probably be our leading scorer regardless if he starts or not but would be absolutely shocked if he's not in the starting line-up.

Nothing really other than showing that schools have always found ways to get around rules in place. Whether that is using NIL money as a scholarship if you don't have any available or making the best player in the country a walk-on to free up a scholarship for someone else, these things have been going on for awhile.

Remember when Doug McDermott was a walk on his senior year and was the National Player of the Year.

Here is my sharpie lineup Ramel Lloyd Juwan Gary Keisei Tominaga Brice Williams Rienk Mast The wildcard is Jamarques Lawrence as hard to keep him on the bench. Also have guys like Ahron Ulis who could start as well. Lots of different options this year for Fred to work with. I really like our top 9 and the variation of lineups you can do with it Ramel Lloyd Juwan Gary Keisei Tominaga Brice Williams Rienk Mast Blaise Keita Jamarques Lawrence Ahron Ulis Josiah Allick

No way that is true

Valid point and one of my frustrations living in Nebraska is that Football is king and every other sport is an after-thought. There is an old school mentality that UNL doesn't want any other men's sport to complete at the level of football and challenge it's place at the top. I get so tired of social media comments like "does NU even have a basketball team?". No doubt football bring in the most revenue but GREAT universities have overall good athletic programs across the board with winning football and basketball programs. Even Trev has made comments like "we all know that Nebraska is a football school". And sadly, we aren't even a football school anymore so there is nothing to fall back on.

Shang Ping

If you going to raid a conference, getting USC, UCLA, Oregon, and Washington is getting the pick of the litter for the Pac 12. Personally, it makes no sense to have a conference that stretches from coast to coast but guess it's a sign of them times with money driving all the decisions. I'd much rather grab some midwest teams like Iowa State, KU or K-state but don't ever see that happening. I really thought the Big 10 missed the boat not trying to grab Texas and OU as that would have been a home run to land those two school but if can grab Oregon and Washington will be decent to add as well.

Didn't say that was they reason but I'm sure it didn't give him a very welcoming feeling.

Not surprised when he is on an unofficial visit and the entire basketball crowd is chanting the name of a football recruit.

Most likely he will be a one and done so you won't see him in Lincoln

Nobody is doubting he was a good kid as are hundreds of kids on teams all over the county. That doesn't mean you keep them on scholarship especially where Fred is coaching to keep his job. He doesn't have the time for long term development right now. The reality of it is that he has not developed into the player we all hoped he could be. Certainly he still could do that and hope he does but think it is in our best interest for him to try and develop his game at a different school.

Has entered the transfer portal. Both good and bad news for Nebraska.

NU vs. Oregon State on Nov. 18th at the Pentagon in Sioux Falls. That is awesome!!!

3 minutes of Fran is to much.....

And that's a good thing if you can consistently bring in more talented players than you currently have on your rooster. Just because players like Wilcher started a few games last year and is now coming off the bench, doesn't mean we have to much talent. It could mean we didn't have enough talented players last year. I can appreciate what you are trying to say but trust me, we don't have TOO much talent. We still need to upgrade and get more talented players if we want to make the tournament and compete for conference championships

Have you ever heard KU or Kentucky say they have TOO many good players?

We've only been to the tournament 7 times and never won a game and you making the claim we have TOO many good players???

That is a great point. Honestly, Doc was dead weight the entire time he was here. Makes you wonder what things would/could have been like if Nate was 2nd in command the entire time. He is worth every dollar NU is paying him.

I sure hope we can do better than settle for Josiah Allick
