I will say one thing though..Coach Yori sent Nicea a long & very heartfelt text this afternoon. Among many things, she apologized for "turning her world upside down." It was a very sincere & apologetic text. I'm sure she made some mistakes, but we also believe the situation was related more to her divorce, etc..I know I played college basketball & I lost count to how many times we were over trained. I can remember one time our coach made us report to the campus swimming pool at 430 am bc a couple guys had missed classes. If you couldn't swim he had life vests lol. We conditioned in that freezing cold pool for almost 2 hours! Then had workouts at 8 am, and practice at 2 pm. I'm pretty sure that was a violation - and that's just 1 example. The difference there was that it was a small D-II school so they didn't have the money to investigate; or really much care if a player complained. And we never did bc we just accepted it as "bball life". I still visit my old coach - love that guy. Lol...I know it's a different era nowadays, but just my thoughts as all the rumors swirl about Connie...again though, we look forward to the next step in NU women's basketball!

Thank you very much Row6Seat10! We're still committed to NU so we're hoping for the best as far as the hiring process goes..I will say though that it's absolutely crazy how our phones are blowing up again though. All the coaches who recruited Nicea have reached out offering "advice". We've gotten 4 schools already with offers back on the table. We just hope most/all of the current girls are willing to come back; and the 5 incoming recruits are willing to stay on board. I guess we'll all have a better idea when the next coach is hired!

Redsteve & HB thank you! And yes all of what you stated were ALL huge reasons why we choose Nebraska. Nicea had 25 offers & we were blown away on our visit to Nebraska. The facilities, the education/opportunities B1G bball, and the people/fans in Lincoln were amazing! Just to kind of add on (again) we loved Coach Brown & Coach Ford. Britney reached out to me& Ashley called my Nicea right away. We're all just waiting to see what happens..my opinion on Flannery is that I agree he's not "great" enough for the NU program. Creighton recruited Nicea & we reviewed his body of work and were just kinda like meh. I'm not as knowledgeable as many of you are with women's college coaches so I enjoy the discussion & everyone's input. Again thanks welcoming us! We hope the hiring process goes well bc we love NU & would hate to go somewhere else! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

I'm Nicea Eliely's dad & we've spoken to 2 of the assistants. So far we're still committed to NU bc it's such a great place/University/program. We'll see who the new head coach will be, but we're mainly hopeful that the current assistant coaching staff stays. Britney Brown was one of the main reasons we committed to NU. She began recruiting Nicea when she was at Tulsa and after she came to Nebraska she followed Nicea & had Connie come watch her play which led to them offering her a scholarship. Either way we hope the process goes quickly & smoothly. It will be challenging for everybody seeing as we're (incoming freshman) are due to report in June for summer classes & workouts. We're just as intrigued as all of you guys!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

They'd be foolish to let her go! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk
