I could see Colorado in there somewhere for someone out of the four you mentioned.

WHOA! This would be huge! Also Selfishly I really want this because I would get to see my teams play in person again!!!

One doesn't need to earn criticism. And criticism isn't nessarily a bad thing. And on paper in comparison to their peers, which is other big ten rosters, this bunch looks like a bunch of scrubs. And that's fine because I have cheered for a quite a few Husker basketball teams that was comprised of a bunch of scrubs. The last three years in fact plus many many more.

Not to you in particular royal, but I want to respond to this thought because it seems a lot share it on this board. I do too for what its worth. Has Hoiberg ever coached an elite defense?

You are correct Sir I was sleep deprived after a 24hr shift, but thats still no excuse. I will do better!

Calm down Francis. If they do read this board and they're so fragile some guy on a message board calling them scrubs has any affect on them we're in trouble. There is one maybe two guys on this list that starts on another Big Ten team. And not a team in the top half of the conference.

"...NU’s influx of size, has inspired Hoiberg to “completely change” NU’s philosophy on offensive rebounding." We shall see.

Say whaaaaat?

Let's see how this season goes...then we'll talk about hope

The NBA basketball is great, I like it. I prefer the basketball of years past with post play and you had to be brave to enter the paint. I couldn't care less about whatever coaches or players politics are. What has really killed my enjoyment of the NBA (and currently college) is the player movement. I miss players being on one team. That was their team. And its a double edge sword for me because I will be the first to argue they have every right to switch teams. NBA and college. I just find myself much less interested in games Nebraska is not playing in. And for that matter my interest is waning there too. Its just getting harder to become invested in a new set of players every single year.

I only follow the Lakers because my father in law is a HUGE fan...you guys are in trouble.

And to be clear I don't disagree they weren't ball dominate and it didn't have an effect on chemistry. I think it was just one of the many many many issues with last years team And its probably pretty obvious from my posts the main issue I believe is at the root of the problem is coaching.

The way I read this is you are blaming last years struggles on 2 players for and if thats correct I think you are wrong. And even if I did agree with you a coach allowing 2 players to have the ball in their hands 80%(no idea the real % but lets roll with it) of the time leading to poor chemistry is the real problem.

This completely obsolves the rest of the team of any accountability like those two players were the single reason for the teams struggles last year.

"He wasn’t able to showcase his passing ability much either, averaging just 1.4 assists compared to 2.1 turnovers."

Quite the leap from critically evaluating the basketball team to going through life thinking the worst

I bought the hype hook, line, and sinker.

I have settled on 12 wins and I fear this may be too optimistic.

That sure sounds like a coaching problem to me.

I'm with you. A year under his belt. This is the year he most likely makes a jump. I could see it. Not saying it happens, but it makes sense.

Not saying you are wrong, but I expect that would have been discussed with him in the off season by the coaching staff and he would have transfered.

I was intrigue so I went and looked up stats for total rebounds per game during Hoibergs tenure. 2019-2020 We ranked #12 in the BigTen with 35.4 rpg 1st ranked team had 40.4 rpg 14th ranked team had 33.3 rpg 2020-2021 We ranked #8(tied) in the BigTen with 36.2 rpg 1st ranked team had 40.6 rpg 14th ranked team had 33.7 rpg 2021-2022 We ranked #13 in the BigTen with 33.1 rpg 1st ranked team had 38.6 rpg 14th ranked team had 30.7 rpg

Oh I always hope. Isn't that what it means to be a Nebraska Basketball Fan? Dealers in hope. But my expectation is a swift kick in the lil reds.
