But on the flip side, I had the thought pop into my head that if anyone is happy that football and SE are under the microscope, it's Tim and his guys because that shifts the torches and pitchfork talk away from them for foreseeable future.  

If AG is able to contribute something this year, that would be a nice ending to his college basketball story. I'll be pulling for him to find some measure of being able to contribute to a successful team this year.

Normally.   If football falls apart, Miles may get a reprieve for this very reason

Yes.. Yes it is. And I'd say this is rather accurate.

I wonder if we'd have a chance at getting the Ohio Bobcats head coach. I like his level of mediocrity better.

Tomorrow is decision day for Mr. Haliburton

Just posted on twitter he will have a commitment to announce tomorrow 

Is this how the kids would summarize the happenings of today. With one of them internet memes

Well, at least there's only 51 more days until Nebrasketball season.

Have they copy and pasted this in their synopsis for the last 10+ years?

Based on what Miles has done in the past, I'd guess Taylor starts opening day, but I think Palmer will be that guy eventually. 

This seems pretty accurate to me as well.. His job this year is to shoot the ball. If he's hitting shots, he'll play. Simple as that

Horne was always going to have a problem playing defense because of his tweener status, but I talked to Nana's high school coach about him and he's got a ways to go defensively as well. There are a ton of great athletes who aren't good defenders. Nebraska has Palmer, Taylor, Roby, McVeigh and Copeland at the 2, 3 and 4, and that doesn't include Gill or Thorbjarnarson either. I think the Horne comparison is a solid conservative projection for him. If he can steal minutes form the upperclassmen, good for him. But that's what it will take for him to have a consistent, significant role.

Has us projected to finish 13th in the conference and says there is too much uncertainty to see us anywhere above 12th. Also says that "Nebraska is one of those teams that is sure to notch a few big time wins this season while also losing many head scratchers (much like last year’s squad)." 

I see Nana as this team's equivalent of Jeriah Horne. He'll be a spot up shooter, and if his shot is going in, he'll stay on the floor. If not, he'll get buried. At least that's how I see it. Just because someone is a great player in high school doesn't make them the same type of player in college. Adjusting to the college game takes time. Some adjust quicker, some take more time to adjust

It's fine to be excited about a guy like Allen, but you really can't see a guy who was a fringe top-100 player not starting? We have no idea what Nebraska is going to get out of him this season. Watson was a higher-rated recruit and he didn't start until the last game of the non-conference season (following the loss to Samford), then started 16 games, then moved back to the bench for the last six games. Shooting is really important, especially on this team, but there is a lot more to basketball than just the ability to shoot.
 
And big red22, that isn't necessarily true. Hitting shots against high school defense and hitting them against Big Ten level athletes are two very different things. If I had to project which of these guys would be the best shooter long-term, I'd take Allen. But it seems like a bit much to expect that from him right away. 

Had to laugh at this review:

He’ll also have to replace three key figures from a season ago, after the graduation of Tai Webster, Ed Morrow and Jeriah Horne.

Yeah what do you expect from a soccer school?

Tyrese already took his official visit here. He was here for the first football game two weeks ago. If I'm not mistaken we were his first official. 

Coach Miles actually caught a break. What a time. What a time indeed. 

Is this what being wrong feels like?
 
If so, I like it!

I'd say it is "unofficially" official:
