Living in a legal state, it's still a little bit jarring to see things like this happen. Easy to forget that there are still places in this country where pot is very illegal.

You can also show them highlights of CJ Wilcher in Jan/early Feb… or JLaw when he went to the bench. For our team especially, starting does not equal “the most” playing time.

I'm glad that CJ stuck it out the last three years.
He won us a couple games this year especially the Wisconsin game.
He is a guy we should all be rooting for in his final collegiate season.

When it's decriminalized federally and changed off a schedule 1 narcotic.

I have a sneaky suspicion that we will have no clue what our line up will look like until summer rolls around.

A week ago, we had one more spot open. One more senior exhausting eligibility than signed recruits. Now, we have five more spots to fill.
As long as we keep Mast, Gary, Williams, Lawrence and Sam H., I think we'll have a pretty solid nucleus that we can build around.
So far, nothing has been like a gut punch losing a guy I really hoped we would keep. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

Nope, just the portal era...get used to it 😉

Great point. I was focused on the three that have one year left. Those three return, it's Katie bar the door next year.

J-Law quickly vaulted up my list with how genuine he greeted my bro and I after such a painful defeat in Memphis. He was so kind and gracious with his time (while his own 'bro' waited...) that I leaned in for a hug. He wished us well on our journey home. Wow, that's an impressive young man. He could have been surly and sulked, he chose to be a great human being. And that means a lot to a big NU fan, I'll sing his praises as long as I live. That's a good dude, J-Law. GBR Always.

^^^ this roster probably makes the tournament.
If they add a couple killers in the portal watch tf out. I think we need a pitbull at SF and F. Janowski will probably give Brice good resting minutes day 1. Frager is handpicked for the 3 but he probably needs to be an understudy.
As it stands though:
Uhlis
Lawrence
Williams
Gary
Mast
^^^ that’s a salty bunch who can guard the perimeter with great speed at 1-4. A little small though.
We really need a Bando SG/SF type who is an elite perimeter defender so Brice can guard the 3 on defense while punishing everyone at the 2 on offense. I’m not sure on Janowski’s defense but if he can guard the 2 he might start because of his offensive skills. JL is a really nice luxury off the bench with his energy.

This list has me excited. Assuming this is the last of the transfers I like this list much better than last year's after the transfers.

I'd add Lawrence to that list.

That's basically my same thought process. We'll always have that magnificent comeback this season against UW (well, it happened the prior yr. too) but this past season CJ literally willed the team to victory with elite shot-making in that 2nd half. Thing of beauty against those pesky Badgers. GBR Always.

Disappointing, but not surprising. I'm hoping Williams, Mast and Gary are channeling their inner 1994 Husker Football team themes. Unfinished Business. I believe they are.

The conversation over in recruiting about which guard spot Janowski is going to slot into helped me solidify how I feel about the portal this year. I thought I wanted someone who can get to the line, and someone who can defend at the basket.
Now, I’m just hoping we are able to get guys we need to fill all the roles on the team, whether they’re the highest rated or not. If Fred and company see them fitting in a role, I want them. Come the first game, I don’t want our starting lineup to have anyone playing out of position because we NEED them to.
Last off season we were really one, maybe one and a half deep, at the point guard spot. That one player was ruled ineligible around August (?) and we didn’t have a solid backup plan, and had Lawrence as our starting PG. He did as well as could be expected given the situation. But I don’t want him, or anyone else, in that situation this year.
There will always be injuries, suspensions, and in the NIL age players could bolt at anytime. I hope through the portal this year, we’re able to build a roster that is robust to the inevitable player getting hurt, suspended, leaving etc. I think about how much it felt like our NCAA chances were gone when we thought Gary tore his Achilles. I don’t want a single incident like that feeling like we can’t overcome it.
Kudos to the coaches for milking 40 minutes of PG play out of a few different players and still getting us to the dance. Let’s go build a roster now that can just work on getting better together, instead of having to learn how to play new positions.

I mean I'm pretty sure everyone believes this happening is winning the Powerball odds, but if it could happen and PREFERRING he moves on is crazy talk.

cornfed24-7 reacted to 49r in Keisei watch
Interesting how we seem to have so many players that come in as somewhat marginal guys and come out with us saying "man I'm gonna miss that guy". Says a lot about the development abilities of our coaching staff.
Makes me excited for our future thinking about that.

If being bashed for opposing the happening of a hypothetical event that is never going to happen isn't what message boards are for, then I don't know what is.

And my Keisei jersey was delayed and didn't make it in time for the A&M game. Want to be able to bust it out for a tournament game with Keisei playing 😁

Not sure “I’d prefer he move on” is the right phrase you’re looking for here. If he has a chance and wants to explore it by all means he should. No one is planning on him being here next year. However, preferring he not be here is wild.
