What is so cool as there will lots of competition for a starting spot and don't think anyone is guaranteed a starting spot this year. Guys like Ray and Shavon who started last year will be pushed to keep their starting spots. It's so awesome to start seeing some depth at every position. Depending on if Miles wants to go with a bigger lineup or not, he would be my best guess. Webster Gallegos Petteway Shields Pitchford Or if wants to do with bigger lineup Webster Petteway Shields Pitchford Smith Either way, we will definitely be more athletic and fun to watch than last year's team.

Some interesting takes on the league as well as NU. http://espn.go.com/ncb/notebook/_/page/summershootaround130809/big-ten

I think it makes NU football fans look bad nationally cause people in this state get so worked up over things like internet polls. Most the country don't care about silly little games like this but NU fans take it so seriously. Just my opinion.

I've heard the same thing. Pretty exciting What did you hear about Walter? That's he's very athletic and like to play as a wing player and is a very good shooter. Can even step out and hit from behind the arc. Even better is that I hear he is just a great person.

Told ya. That's something a 5 year old would say

I know it's just a typo, but I can't stop giggling. "Tia"? My first thought was "Carerra"? No sh*t? Our team may suck, but we'll be hot. Especially if she can, you know, ball. Now that's funny!!! If we can't win, we might as well have the hottest team in the Big 10.

Awesome news!!! Sweet 16, here we come.......

I know a student at UNL who played pickup games with Walter and Tia this past week and said that Tia can ball. I'll be very surprised if this kid isn't starting at the season opener.

Thanks Dimes. Appreciate it.

Where is this database of potential recruits?

I rescheduled my vacation cruise just so I could be at the season opener in the new arena. My wife wasn't to happy with me.

Just some Lame Ass birds that dwell about 60 miles to the east of LIncoln. I hate BlueJays.....

Well, that didn't copy and paste like I expected it to.....sorry about that.

My brother just emailed me Creighton's non-conference schedule. Not to impressive if you ask me but of course, NU's non-conference schedules have been extremely weak that past several years as well. Can't wait until ours is released to see how it shapes up this year. Day Date Opponent Opponent's 2012-13 W-L Opponent's 2012-13 Postseason Series History Sun. Nov. 3 Northern State (Ex.) 20-11 (Div.

They might be a top 20 team this year but will take a HUGE stepback next year and not sure they will have a team anytime in the near future as good as they will have this year. I venture to say that NU will have a better team than Creighton within 2 years.

Here is article that was in Journal Star today that talks about Miles upcoming recruiting schedule and current targets. Interesting read as he will be racking up his frequent flyer miles this month. Gotta love this coaching staff's efforts on the recruiting trail. http://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/mens-basketball/nu-coaches-zoned-in-on-targets-for-hoops-class/article_c4cb9e87-1605-5f73-bb77-9eaac6f87af4.html

Here is a summer time look at all the teams around the Big 10 http://m.journalstar.com/sports/huskers/big-ten/a-summertime-look-around-the-big-ten-hoops-style/article_5d6334a3-73a1-559a-b78d-e7504bacd209.html?mobile_touch=true

It might have been a good year for McDermott to come out but sounds like he was projected as late 1st round or 2nd round pick. That is surprising considering the group this year.

Chances are probably good that Ray does start but I certainly wouldn't put money on it. He was one of our only scoring options last year but there are alot more talented players available this year that could beat him out for a starting spot.

My guess is if Miles wanted Strickland, he would have hired him the first time around. There is no question that Erick has a passion for NU hoops and wants the program to succeed but he is potentially lacking the experience that Miles is wanting. Strickland has made it public that he wants a coaching job at NU but just not sure it will happen. I'm not opposed to it but will be surprised if it does.

I was pretty concerned about the Webster comment as well. Hopefully is will all ends well. One comment Miles made though, cracked me up. He was asked if he will have Coach Hunter game plan for Florida Gulf Coast. Miles replies without hesitation and says "why would I, they lost".

Another "home run" move for Miles. He continues to impress the hell out of me......

You are wrong about one thing Norm is that I did like Doc and wanted very badly for him to succeed here but it after a few seasons, it didn't appear he was the guy that was going to take us where we wanted to be. I can still like Doc but be critical of the job he did here at NU. My assumption is the T.O. also realized that fan interest was dropping during Doc's last season as well and that was one of the factors that lead to his dismissal. How is it that my comments somehow "speak for everyone" and comments you or others don't have the same effect. Everyone posts comments based on their own personal reaction or feelings about the situation. I still believe fan interest was dropping off during Doc's last season as people were tired of the boring style of play and losing. One question I would have about your attendance numbers are if those are based on number of people who actually attended the games vs. number of tickets sold? Just curious
