In the 80s ON3 I think

Morgan was in the 40s this morning ON3 and fidler was in the 20s. Fidler and Morgan both have “crystal ball” or whatever the ON3 version is to Nebraska for what that’s worth

I think Kyle can play the 4 defensively and offensively as long as our 5 can shoot. I have zero faith in Payne at the 4 defensively and well I don’t think much of his offensive game either lol. Maybe I’m viewing Kyle incorrectly though.

I might be in the minority but I don’t think we want Payne. Doesn’t fit our system at all, can’t shoot from the field or FT line and doesn’t have post moves aside from being really big and athletic. Does that change with a different coaching staff? Maybe but I wouldn’t bank on it give me Morgan, Kyle, and a freshman or sophomore big then we got our work cut out for us at the guard position yet

I can’t imagine who wants to be a college coach these days

I do not believe tampering is a thing. No way to police it. What id be more interested in is how many players never receive whatever NIL they were promised

Someone had to approach him with a bigger NIL offer right?

I’d be kinda shocked if he lands on a more prominent team than Illinois but then again what do I know.

Just reading through ISU Fans comments and watching Diop this year I think I’d rather have Diop. He’s 3 inches taller, I don’t feel there’s any concerns about his hands or his shooting for a 5 guy. It’s just about getting him in the weight room and more experience. The thing about Omaha is that he’s unlikely to start for us IMO So why come be the 3rd or 4th guy off our bench when it sounds like the main thing he needs is on court time. He should transfer down for atleast a year IMO

This guys floater/pull up in the high paint game may be more impressive than his 73 made 3s last year. Not sure if athletically he helps us get quicker on defense though

Man I hope the inter webs are with a shit for once.

Do we have a chance the second time around and would he even start for us at the 3 or the 4 as I’m guessing he’s not looking to be a bench player after barely playing this last year in Ames

They need to simply make all scholarships/NIL agreements a two year deal for both the player and the school with the exception of your coach leaves/quits everything resets. 2 year agreements give both party’s some stability, doesn’t necessarily allow schools to throw crazy money at everyone and anyone because they have to pay it back to back years, and still gives the players a chance to move on halfway through their college careers if they want.

He was on campus a lot as a recruit and we made his final four schools at that time. So maybe there’s a chance with us having minutes open at the 4

Gophers need to start a rock bottom thread cuz it’s gonna get worse if Payne is already leaving

I am so bummed if it is Diop

I wonder how tough it is to recruit the portal when your not necessarily looking for a starter, sure PF or SG/PG may be open but how hard is it to pitch a big or small forward to transfer in to come off the bench?

Feels like Blaise hurts the least of the 3 transfers so far. Good rebounder and defender but just lost a year of develop offensively. Do we see a big second year jump from diop? Skill certainly seems to be there, needs to hit the weight room hard and put on a good 15 pounds

He could shoot it from deep and get to the bucket as a freshman without having the ball in his hands much. And we are complaining about his defense and that he was hunched over when he ran….

Hot take as I would be shocked( or things are going very poorly) if frager is a back end of the rotation guy as a freshman. I also thought from the minutes he got in close games that rice would be a dude for us in coming years though

Gonna be really interesting to see what kinda offers he gets

Refs in general in the woman’s tournament seem to be brutal this years. Refs in the men’s tournament are inconsistent but for the most part seem to know what they are doing. Refs in the woman’s tournament seem to not know what they are doing at times lol

Such a bummer to get back to back dud performances from Shelley and Potts. Felt like if we got 1 or 2 more threes or point blank shots to go in during those first three quarters we woulda had a real shot in the 4th quarter. Gotta make sure we keep Potts this offseason, hopefully the rumors are just people stirring things up. Then need to get a transfer 6’0 combo guard that can attack the rim and defend other teams studs. A 6’4” back up center would be really nice too. the future feels super bright even with todays set back

Hear me out here, and I realize not everyone will return next year but the athleticism upgrades might already be on the bench aside from a 6’8 PF that can shoot the rock

I just started following the husker women closely this year(having 2 daughters will do that to a guy I guess) and I’ve been pretty confused by the fans that don’t like her as a coach. we won last night based on us having an offensive scheme and them just playing 1 on 1 basketball IMO which to me is the definition of coaching. I’d say the only athlete we had on par with them speed/agility wise is white and she’s 5’6” yet we still found a way to win by finding and hitting open threes. she’s also recruiting at what I would say is a high level the last 2-3 years with those results showing this year i don't get the hate
