Might just be looking for a place that values defense and hustle? 

Is that his first offer? Looks like it might be good to be early on this kid.

WELLL THEN.......... some birds don't know when to shut up I guess. 

Not excited about this pickup...seems like a downgrade from Sammy G. He seems like a solid player, but isn't a great 3 point shooter and doesn't offset that by being great in another area. "Meh" is all that comes to mind. In a perfect world Ramel would rise to the challenge and beat him out for the PG job. Ulis *would* be a nice backup PG. 

.407 FG%, .373 3pt%, .387 FT%.
 
We finally find a guy who's consistent, and people still complain.

Let’s NOT overlook the Forest for the Trees here, he’s leaving an Iowa team we SWEPT last year to come & play in Lincoln! Salut young man & Welcome to the Star ⭐️ City…!!!

We'd only be looking at Sallis the PG, not Sallis the SG. So, apples to apples, PG to PG, that's the comparison. I don't think we were looking at Sallis for any other role than PG. And maybe that's how he ended up at Wake. And I'm OK with that.

This was already a homerun off-season of recruiting. We're reaching walk-off HR territory.

I beg to differ. Sixteen wins is a hell of a lot more than 10. And that goes beyond just math. The feel of being a break-even team with a shot at a post-season bid was soooooo much more satisfying than only winning 10 games the year before.

I knew it was a waste of time trying to recruit him

Josiah Allick is really good and would be a fantastic fit with what the team needs. 

Washut says it's NBA draft evaluation, but most likely back at Nebraska next year. 

That shows that the McGowen brothers are still bought into this program and that tells me some very positive things about where we are.

Class B has always been an issue in Nebraska due to enrollment disparity from the biggest to the smallest.  Class A is moving towards all Metro and Lincoln teams which are loathe to travel to North Platte.
 
My biggest concern is the dominance of Parochial Schools in the lower classes.  It’s an unfair situation because attendance zones are very broad compared to their public counterparts and they don’t deal with serving all types of students.

The Wrightsell/Sallis package looking more & more likely. 

Fwiw, I believe they both have been pulled since the season ended from my memory. I don't think that's a recent trend. 

Not sure he’s received the interest that he thought he would.  Although it looks like San Diego State is interested and he visited there this weekend.  
 
we should’ve looked at him last off-season. We woulda been a fan favorite and a great guy to have on last years squad.  

Yep, Brandon Ubel is the case study for patience with a big man.

I think WB can learn a whole lot from Mast and still has plenty of upside.  
 
Remember WB is a pretty gifted passer. If he can become a little bit more of an offensive threat (improve outside shooting and 1v1 skills) I think his passing will be more effective. He needs to add 20lbs and decide to be a full time 5 though.  He has no business athletically playing any other spot.  I think he can be a very serviceable backup C with a serious summer.  

This is….. uh…. a hell of a f***ing steal from Wisconsin. 

That's probably true. Although Bradley fans are hopeful he will develop into a higher level than Nebraska...
 
Unfortunate reality is that mid majors are becoming the developmental league for P5/6 schools.
 
All that said how about a home and home series with the Braves 😂.

Boom. Committed
 
 

If we bring in 2 more guards I think both Q and wilcher are gone.  No inside info to back that up but both would have few paths to playing time IMO

I think we agree on the missed evaluation outta high school, he was a top 100 or close to top 100 prospect for that cycle if I remember right?  I was more so saying we want him here as a rotational big guy.  we don’t exactly get a lot of 6’10 guys who are possibly comfortable playing 15 minutes a night(maybe he’s not comfortable with that tho).
 
I don’t think he needs to shoot corner 3s to be an asset to us either, feels like he was 0 percent on those last year lol.  He needs to be able to finish around the hoop better(I think the ability to do that is there) needs to be a threat from the top of the key 3 point wise, needs to rebound on both ends of the floor.  Then needs to figure out how to not get his lunch ate on the defensive side of the floor.  Could he be a Ubel 2.0 for us?  I was pretty young while he was here but I seem to remember him being pretty rough as an underclassmen then blossomed into a pretty good big guy for us by his senior year.
 
if we are counting on him to play 30 minutes a game this coming year we will both agree that we are screwed.  If he’s out 3rd or 4th big(depending on keita) I think we are in pretty good shape.  Again I value the familiarity with the system and the hope that a full off-season will do him wonders.
