If this FH experiment is going to comtinue then they must get a true PG and a physical power forward. They cant survive in this conference without it. You hope Andre stays and develops more and who knows about Ola? But a 6'7"-6'9" PF is needed IMO.

Outside of Wilhelm those others arent staying. I think Wilcher has played lately and Keisei will just need to be a role player 10-15 mins to be in his role.

You keep trying till you find the person

Funny thing is I think he has changed since that was brought up. Not sure what he was or wasnt doing earlier in the year. Almost seemed liked he was more concerned of letting his players figure it out early in the year instead of coaching.

" I said this when Fred was hired and I will keep saying it--If Fred can't get it done here, NOBODY can! At least nobody that would ever be stupid enough to come coach at this moribund coach-killer program. " This thinking right here is garbage and a defeatist attitude and not a reason to keep someone. There will always be someone that will come here with the $, resources, fan support. If those things didnt exist, we wouldnt have got Fred. Any competitor would love to get a chance to make history, a very simple task, at NE.

You cant keep giving a coach more years when he is the worst in program history and there is no promise. The team has shown flashes of quitting this year. If he losses the team and losses get worse, hard sell to bring him back.

No, just tired of all the comparisons to Miles just cause this team sucks right now.

I dont know, ask Norm

Just sayin everywhere you read on social media says they should of never fired the guy. Why even the need to include him and keep him relevant?

But you did mention him by name twice. The expectaions should be higher not only by the $ figure, but the person you are paying that amount to, has shown success at a certain level to gain that pay.

You guys need to let the Miles comparisons go. He had his chances here and he's gone. He had 7 years and hit his ceiling. He's not coming back. Its revisionist history now and comparing the 2 is pointless. Just cause this team is historically bad right now, which says alot, doesnt mean the previous guy was worth keeping.

In fairness we all thought this years roster would be much improved. At this point im in the show me on the court and not just star gazing.

Sip this morning said his buyout is $18.5 M and he got an extension after that great 1st year! Yikes, strap in....

That would also mean a big leap from all those players next year. Keon doesnt see the floor, Wilhelm had stuggled in big 10, and Andre has regressed. I have confidence in CJ only of those players.

Outside of the team quitting and more blowout losses Im not sure it can get worse....

It already is. Ive only gone to 2 games. Im done with season tickets after this year after 10 plus years. The shine has worn off.

Cam, Teddy, and now Verge. Why every year is there a player like this?

We always look for reasons and excuses as to why this will work and point to the future year as the year. Im guilty too. But you said it. This team is garbage. The fact that Fred allowed these players to be signed from Matts recruiting either shiws no development, or just bad recruiting. How you have no pg in year 3 just amazes me. Imagine a 3 star sr xfer from a smaller school would have been more effecrtive. The pace and 3's are just brutal. And the effort.

Does Keisei, Andre, Keon, Wilhelm, CJ, if they return excite you with the new recruits? I dont know...

I just dont know you can use the covid excuse anymore. The stuff that came with covid was gone this year and this team is garbage. After today I just dont know how you can defend Fred or this program. It is garbage. 1 road win, 6 power 5 wins in year 3, and many buy game losses. Im willimg to give it one more year but wont be upset if this is it.

I get it and I want as much optimism as possible but at the same time this is rock bottom and the worst we have seen. Something for whatever reason always sucks me in thinking it will get better but its hard thinking it will. I feel like this program in 3 years isnt as bad as the numbers say but it is. I have only gone to 2 games this year and not sure if I will go to anymore. My chances of renewing tickets next year are slim knowing prices wont go down. I enjoy and will watch from home but I just dont see how it can be better next year.

https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/sports/2022/01/07/nebraska-basketball-fans-waiting-fred-hoiberg-produce-turnaround-cornhuskers/9134599002/ Article from Des Moines Register. Had a lot of good points and makes you think. A lot has been discussed in the "Hot Seat" thread, but another look. The paragraph below says alot. There is also the roster issue of when he got here, what they went thru last year, and struggles this year. I just wonder what could come back next year, as I have said in other threads, and if that gives you hope. It always seems, as by this article, that Nebrasketball fans always make excuses for hope when there is no light ahead. Hoiberg is 20-54 overall, 5-38 in the Big Ten and 1-27 in road games. His .270 winning percentage is the lowest through any Nebraska coach’s first 74 games. The Huskers have lost 19 straight against ranked opponents under Hoiberg and a program-record 20 overall

I just dont see someone giving him the money that would be equal to or an amount that he would make overseas unless he doesnt want to take that route. I think we make NIL more to be then reality as a whole. Especially from the starting 5 at NE. I guess I could be wrong.

Is NIL really that great? Especially for a player like him in Lincoln. Im sure he'll want to move on and play overseas and make a lot more $ if he wants to continue to playm.

He has Covid year but already has graduated. Highly doubtfull he comes back. He's already on year 3 to technically play 2 before covid.
