I feel like we're the type of school that a player like this doesn't have us in his top 4 unless we're like right there. Like, if someone asks you what your favorite colors are, and you say red, blue, yellow, and Vinaceous, meaning wine-colored, but not all wine, just the reds, you probably really like that color.

Welcome to the family Coach Loenser! Hopefully you're not a Losener! I'll see myself out.

Ok so did Doc get demoted?

So did Doc get fired again.... or what?

I'm not entirely sure where the Moos hate comes from. He's made some GREAT hires that at the time, people were incredibly jacked about. Not his fault (as far as I know) that they haven't succeeded. Only things I have issues with are his handling of the Oklahoma game and I think we kinda came out looking a bit... weird... with all the covid stuff. But who knows.

*Instant PTSD reaction*

Amazing call back.

Bishop has been there since Vietnam and I think "fulfilled his service duties." haha

It is always funny to reevaluate how you feel at the end of the season - compared what your expectations were at the beginning of the season. The consensus on this board was exactly what you said - record might not even budge but we'll be excited about the improvements. That pretty much happened. AND HERE I AM, ABOUT READY TO JUMP OF A BRIDGE!!!

I just got chills reading that article. Thank you for posting.

But to the OP of the post... My expectations are to be in NCAA tournament discussion. And honestly I'd be very disappointed to not make it. B1G loses plenty via graduation/transfer. We return enough.

Hey. A dunk's a dunk.

You have the clip of that? Couldn't find that anywhere.

My friend..... welcome to HHC.

If Wendell comes, does Doc greet him in the tunnels below Memorial Stadium with Cookie Miller and Charles Richardson, to determine if he meets their standards?

Would going from 6'9" PG Banton to 5'9" PG Wendell Green be considered an over correction?

I made a pretty egregious mistake and error in how I worded what I said. I'll apologize for that but I'll let it up so everyone can keep dragging me. I enjoy the pain. I am a Nebrasketball fan, after all. I should have been more specific in saying that I love the basketball part and roster management aspects of the way Coach McDermott runs their program. Admittedly though, I tend to look past most illegal recruiting activity half these schools do because 1. The difference between most programs is some have gotten caught and some haven't and 2. I believe these players should be able to get market value for their skills, so I believe the system enables this poor behavior. But to the original point of the post. In my opinion, I hate this style. I hate the way college basketball is getting. And I thoroughly enjoy the programs who have guys who go through their system and stay until junior/senior years. Those are the teams I've chosen to watch and enjoy. I can't stand have to make flashcards each year to learn our roster. My favorite teams of all time are the UNC teams that brought dudes in as freshman and you knew everything about them, and watched them go from failure to National Champions. Obviously that world is gone. Doesn't mean I can't dislike it.

I'd hope we WEREN'T - because if these are the results......

God this would be amazing.

I stupidly exaggerated. You are right. But, I will say that I have first-hand experiences with this subject.

Every program in the nation does something like that. Just some got caught. If you don't think we're right there doing things like that, I've got some land in the Sandhills with an Ocean view I'd like to sell you.

I know it's the Cardinal sin of this website and Husker-Fandom to say this... But Greg McDermott runs an incredible program and does things the right way.

That's big time.

I'm part surprised by this, and part incredibly excited about this. I also basically stopped following his recruiting months ago, so maybe this isn't news to anyone. On one hand - he's a national recruit and I'm surprised he chose to go somewhere where over half your games are against mid-major competition. Also, Gonzaga is a tough find for TV, being small-conference and West Coast. However - Gonzaga does play big games in the non-con, and they are a lock for a top 3 seed in the NCAA tournament year in, year out. That being said, I am super excited about this because Mark Few does not F*** around. There's not many other coaches around with the security he has, and he will iron out all the flaws in Hunter's game and approach to the game.
