Faux Mike Peltz

Not sure if you are being sarcastic, but “angry old man” has never been how I think of when it comes to Coach Osborne.

I don’t like Ashworth at all but man I would’ve traded him for Rollie and Uhlis and a minivan of his wife’s choice

I hate Creighton but man Mac is schooling Pat right now - UL looks lost

I agree. Berke showed a flash or two at the beginning of the year. His shooting is really inconsistent- isn’t super strong with the ball, if he’s our starting 4 or 5 next year I think we are in trouble. Just give me Julian Reese and Dawson Garcia.

Watching the big ten tourney, Grant Hill commented several times how the Big Ten is a Big Man’s league. This was during the Michigan vs Maryland game - both teams had a pair of really talented big men. I know that we all know this, but I really hope in addition to a capable scoring point guard, we grab at least one, but better, two physical big men that can rebound and score. If Dawson Garcia had a Covid year I’d happily take him next to Mast and Berke

Kevin Van Dam and Skeet Reese haven’t broken my heart like Nebrasketball, but your point is well received

Sounds like the players, especially the seniors, want to continue the season and are motivated to make a run. I hope they do. Some good names in this field. I like it.

Will not see an official publication of NIL payouts per player and total spend by team. And no coach is going to come out and say the number. Other schools would jump all over that in recruiting, using that info to their advantage. I know Robin has said the total NIL was around 2.5 million. I believe it was slightly below that, but not by too much. I do know we got an absolute steal with Brice in comparison to his stats, impact, and first team all conference selection

Chucky’s camp was asking more than what we paid Brice and Juwan combined so that puts things in perspective.

Loesner brings the energy. Fred’s demeanor is calm and steady, except when it’s not. Just ask the whiteboards

I think Janowski would’ve helped us this year. To what extent? Not sure.

Robin Washut has stated in writing our basketball NIL was around 2.3-2.5 million. I believe it’s closer to 2.3 - but it should rise w rev share and hopefully a commitment from the peers that be to designate more to be competitive. Even an extra million will go a long ways, most rotational guys are easily commanding north of 250k per year. Let’s just say Nebraska got an absolute STEAL this year on Brice Williams.

Your point is well taken basketballjones. I agree. But I also think increased NIL would’ve given us better players, a scoring and shooting competent point guard vs Rollie and Uhlis. Morgan is a good kid but is just not a tough rebounder. Our big men collectively this year were soft. Trade out Braxton or Morgan for a Queen or Julian Reese and our makeup of our team changes quite a bit.

I have a friend in the inner circle - if he is accurate, Pop, Kalk, and Ashworth alone got way more than our entire team

Fit does play a factor for sure. One player turned down more money elsewhere to come to DONU this year, so it’s not always about the top bid
