UNO has a roster with a lot of local talent on it. CJ Carter (Benson), Koang Dolouny (Bryan), and Jalen Bradley (Norfolk) are just a few of the players.
Don't know much about how good they'll be, but I know they played a brutal schedule last year.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how Talley plays this year. I think he was a lot better than he played at times last year and I think some of that was because Doc's conservative style took away a lot of Talley's confidence away. He was too afraid to miss.
Except that KState paid Hill over $500,000 a year which made him the highest paid assistant in the nation. Don't think Nebraska has that kind of money to offer a basketball assistant.
I really like Ubel, but he's not a guy you can count on to be your focal point. Maybe he'll prove me wrong this year (and I really hope so). He's just a complementary player. Now that's not a knock him. But just think how much better his perception would be if he had a good post player to work with or wasn't being asked to do too much. He's a good passer, gets rebounds. Good defender. And can knock down a mid ranged jump. Heck he can hit an occasional 3. But he was asked to do way too much last year and he struggled at times.
Just my opinion.
Haven't seen this talked about it, so I thought I'd share it.

Basically talking about how they still don't know if he's going to redshirt or not.
Also talks about the PG situation and the new walk on.
We've got to remember that Miles used Dwight Smith at the 4 spot last year at Colorado State. Dwight is no taller than 6'4 with shoes on. So he has experience with smaller guys at that position.
This also has me wondering if he'll use David Rivers as a 4 this first year. Rivers might not have the body type to bang inside. But he does have some height and could help bring opposing 4 men away from the basket.
Like I said on the previous board before the move over.
Pitino wouldn't be so upset about Miles going to Central if he knew Akoy might switch his commit.
Tyrance was a guy that I really enjoyed watching play in high school. But probably wasn't more than a DII player, but had some potential. I was pretty happy when I found out he walked on, because he would be a guy that worked hard and could maybe have some role on the team as an upperclassman.
