Nebrasketball1979

My guesses would be: Malique Ewin - post player who was at Ole Miss last year and is now at South Plains (they played today). 
And Tavion Banks who plays for NW Florida St (also played today) and is originally from Kansas City. 

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.

I expected CJ to depart.  He is a good man and worked hard while at Nebraska.  I wish him nothing but the best.  He helped turn our culture around!
That said, every time he put the ball on the floor, attempting to drive to the basket, gave me a near death experience.   
 
Again, thank you for being a Husker CJ.

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. 

Actually, I can confirm with 100% certainty that slick Rick was actually in attendance in Memphis.  He walked out of the stadium right past us at the conclusion of the first session.  He did not look particularly thrilled 😃

I wouldn't bet on it if for no other reason than to set a good example

Yeah, last year I was very worried about bringing in the right pieces to replace Walker, Griesel and Bandoumel.  However, now that Fred has proven he can identify, recruit, and replace those types of players with similar types or upgraded types of players, I feel much more confident Fred and staff will do the same this offseason.  The lesson I learned from last year is that the pieces we land may not be the ones everyone is talking about now and that's ok as long as they find the right pieces to fit and to keep moving this thing in a positive direction.  I agree it's in Fred we trust at this point.

Hope Blaise gets healthy regardless of where he ends up

For the sake of completeness, I present the On3 #268-ranked portal transfer.
 
Carter Whitt - Furman Paladins - Point Guard (on3.com)

I would love to believe this is possible but I can't see how this argument would hold any weight.  He played significant time in both year's at JUCO and appears to have averaged 16+ points a game both seasons based off his Huskers.com bii.  He clearly seemed to have gotten a full five years of playing time.  Really hope there is a loophole to exploit but I am skeptical.

And to add on to this...perhaps in the hundreds of hours of practice, he found two minutes worth of clips that show him to be a highly effective player.  I think any of the scout guys and walk-ons could do this as well.  Just not enough context for me to make any sort of informed evaluation.  I'm sure the low major and mid-major offers he gets will tell the story.

Why are we collectively so afraid to call it a great season?  Yeah, we got boat raced in the tourney.  One and done, I get it it.  But the YEAR is on the Mount Rushmore of Husker Hoops seasons.  And beyond the wins and losses, this team was a joy to cheer for.  
 
The year was fun and exciting and full of far more ups than downs.  Don't be afraid to call it what it truly was: great.

I think with the portal the way it is currently it's gonna be an interesting off-season from now until eternity. 

keisei gave far more to this program than it gave to him...we'll miss him a great deal. not just as a player, but as a person. he was a terrific ambassador for my alma mater. and that matters to me. 

Not a single person played solid D tonight. It wasn’t just Keisei who was blown by.  It’s not super difficult to replace 14 points a game, but what is difficult to replace is how those 14 points came to be.  He was electric. He could flip a switch at any point.  I absolutely do not feel good about not having KT next year.  We can makeup 14 points in the aggregate, but it’ll be hard to makeup what we’re losing with Keisei.

This is how I feel right now

🥲😀

loved this year and this team…but another off season playing this song and wondering if this little hole in my heart will ever get filled.  But man, what a ride, 23-11 is still pretty damn good.  

Tonight hurts. But I refuse to say this season was a failure. So many good memories from this season. Let's do it again next year. 

Funny story...we are in Memphis and were walking back to our hotel last night after dinner.  Out of nowhere, Tominaga and Burt came zooming past us on electric scooters.  We of course told them Go Big Red and Tominaga, as always, was smiling as if he were having the time of his life.  I left the encounter praying he didn't crash on his scooter.  I've heard of no crash this morning so I believe my prayers were answered and I can claim a small piece of this victory today!

Chills.. LET'S DO THIS TODAY!
