Tim Miles on Sports Nightly this evening: Really high on Jack McVeigh as a person. Super energetic, good length, needs some bulk. Says we got lucky on Bakari Evleyn. Said if he stayed in Michigan we probably wouldn't have had a shot at him. Will compliment Glynn Watson very well. On recruiting, obviously we'd like to get a big. Asked Greg Sharpe if he was available. Said they're open to anyone and everyone. Also looking at the possibility of a red shirt transfer who is good enough to play Big Ten Basketball in 2016. On Terran, said they had been discussing his long term plans since he announced publicly that his mother was dealing with cancer. They talked about "what could be" if he stayed, but ultimately said he supports his decision totally. On coaching the NABC game, sounds like he called a Christian Laettner type play at the end of the game, had a player on an inbounds play heave it down the court, another player caught it and touch passed it to a third player for an uncontested dunk to win the game. (Gonna have to see if I can find that on youtube).

G'DAY and welcome Bruce! (you know in Australia, every Aussie is named Bruce. Even the women)

Oh, if only Kye Kurkowski had one more year...

I have a feeling Tim would be willing to put up with the "headache" (if he is that), for just one season.

Best of luck Terran. Thanks for the memories.

I think I'll check in on his career at Georgia from time to time to see if we missed out on anything. Wouldn't surprise me if he transferred early though.

Welcome Bakari!!

He really shouldn't say "brick by brick".

Have we somehow gained a reputation as a place that is bad for big men to go? Does our offensive style scare them away?

It seems like we are addressing the loss of Smith and acquiring more of a true point guard off the bench to spell for Watson. I see this as more of an acquisition for 2 years down the road, after Benny graduates. I'm speculating that they want Tai as more of 2 guard.

I think this is great! If you play for Nebraska you definitely welcome a challenge like this.

Will have to trust evaluation skills of recruiters and that the coaches liked what they saw.

Does Georgia have as an immediate need for a big guy (aka playing time) as we do? Also, we'll travel to Michigan every year I would think, which is a chance for family to see him in person.

I was thinking the same thing Norm.

Man, what coaching does to a guy.

Not surprising at all. Wish we could have competed against him one more year though.

Does this replace the ACC challenge?

If/when Terran declares for the draft as expected, a "Favorite Terran Memories" thread would be apropos, I would think.

I know I speak for everyone here, and for Husker fans across that nation that we love Terran Petteway, and are behind him and support him and his and his family 100%. Prayers and condolences.

Yes, to next week, as per LJS.

What a debut for Alex Rios! Okay sorry, back to Husker hoops.

You keep a' cussin' Silver. Someone's gotta learn the boy.

Damn. Sick of Duck or UConn or Kentucky winning it every year.

Hey, I saw some Wisky fans in Teletubbie costumes. They stole that from our student section.

Man, the only news I want to hear right now is that his mom is doing okay.
