I'm going with enroll and practice. Gives the kid 1st hand knowledge on what it takes to play at this level and a year to work on it. All the while playing against dudes at said level.

Would be wonderful if they came into this game undefeated

Hahahaha when's the last time we got to argue about which player is getting minutes over which player?!? This is so much more fun of an argument

You're right that's was more me paraphrasing. It was something to the effect something bad had happened ergo we're in trouble. Realistically if he were to "take" anyone's minutes it would probably be CJ's if he has one of those slumps like he's had before. But I don't think that happens. I think he ends up with the 9th most minutes. And if we have to go deep on our bench because of foul trouble or *gulp* injury it's comforting knowing we got Hoiberg ready and waiting. It's a great problem to have and a problem I can't really remember having before.

NU 87 A&M 57 Let's run it back

Not arguing that. Though Hoiberg and Gary aren't competing for the same minutes. It's more so to the posts I saw on here that said we'd be in trouble if Hoiberg was playing meaningful minutes. And I think that is BS. I predicted Hoiberg would end up with the 9th most minutes on the team. If for some reason it's higher, say 7th or 8th, we'll be just fine.

And a big old pffft to the notion that if Hoiberg has to play meaningful minutes we're in trouble.

I was really impressed with Allick!

I love the way Allick hustles for EVERY single rebound!

Does that rating take into account the level of competition?

And even against the giants I thought he did pretty good all things considered.

Because joking about horrible events is a natural human response/coping mechanism. Lighten up Francis.

I really hope so. I want to get a good look at all these new guys. And a added bonus it means we're taking care of business with the cupcakes

1st two predictions (1) Nebraska finishes the season somewhere in the 8 spots of Last 4 in - 1st 4 out (2) Sam Hoiberg finishes with the 9th most mpg

I think it's possible he could beat out any person that hasn't played in live action on this team under Fred. That's not a knock on any of them. It's just I saw Sam play on this team under Fred. The others I haven't. And over the years there's been too many times someone has come here and done worse here than where they came from. Or didn't make the leap in progress one would expect. Or didn't "fit". And to be clear I hope Sam is 9th - 10th in min. Be really good for us if they keep him off the court. It means good things.

I completely agree. I think of it like this, "Am I at all concerned with this team if Sam is playing 7th - 8th most minutes?" Nope. Not even a little bit I'm affording my same thought process I do to all 2nd year players. He's gonna get better! And I thought he played exceptionally well last year. I don't believe the players they brought in can earn more minutes than Sam on measurables alone. They better bring it because I saw Sam play last year. Dude can ball. Now if they do beat him out that bodes we'll for us. It's really a win win.

Both?

No hair on those legs...still got some growing to do

Yup. It's happened again. I'm all in. Changing my answer from (8) to (9)

Got 'em right where we want 'em.

I live in California friend they're not contact highs

I went 8. But I really had to talk myself out of 9. I'm feeling magic in the air boys!
