1. Sam Griesel 2. Quaran McPherson 3. Jamarques Lawrence 4. Ramel Lloyd 5. Denim Dawson 6. Keisei Tominaga 7. CJ Wilcher 8. Juwan Gary 9. Wilhelm Breidenbach 10. Derrick Walker 11. Blaise Keita 12. Oleg Kojenets 13. ?? I'm of the mindset that Trey and Lat are moving on. Having struck out on two shooters/scorers, do we still take another player from the portal? If yes, who?

The quotes below may be a little telling. If anything they say Baylor was a fan of the program growing up and sounds like he still is. “I grew up always watching their games whenever I could, and I remember the years where we were competitive - the Terran Petteway and Shavon Shields years,” Scheierman said. “Just the energy around the state when that was going on, it was special… “I’d say that’s definitely a factor. Being from Nebraska and being able to come home and have the opportunity to play in front of my family and friends on a nightly basis would be fun. Honestly, I think if we get the right guys together who know how to play the right way, there’s no reason why Nebraska can’t change the narrative around their program.”

I like this class as well and agree that last year's class was overrated, but that is with the benefit of hindsight. Regarding Keita and the way he runs, I think that is just the way he runs. I would agree that he looks like an old man when he's moving up and down the court, but he didn't seem hindered by the injury when he was posting up. I'm hoping that the coaching staff at Coffeyville were just being cautious as to how they were utilizing him and that it wasn't related to the injury. Regarding Dawson, he may be raw but he has something that you can't teach and that is above average athleticism. That combined with his motor will get him on the floor just for his defense. His highlights from this past summer where he was going against better competition gives me hope that his offensive game is progressing and eventually will be a solid contributor on offense as well. Having said this, I'm in the show me camp as well regarding the newcomers and the team in general.

I don't think it would have made any difference. It appeared most of the pundits outside of Nebraska covering the B1G had their minds made up that it would be Branham or Hepburn.

I can't recall where I read it, but ball handling is something that Denim apparently needs to work on, plus he's more of a wing. McPherson appears to be in line to play the point going forward.
