That would be a shocking development for it to move this fast

Think we finished second in his recruitment, so definitely worth monitoring

I was talking about the 17-18 Nebraska team. The one that missed it with 22 wins

Can someone smarter than me do a side by side resume comparison between this UNC team and that Nebraska team?

Bubble also being extremely weak helped. Just win a two of the one score games and they're safe.

I'm indifferent. If they're able to clear room on their roster via walk ons moving on, I'd be fine with it. Right now they have 4 spots available going into next year though with the new 15 roster limit rule. Good chance Burt isn't here, and wouldn't shock me on Jacobsen either. That would put us at 6, and I'd be fine with that

No idea. Wish I knew, because it would be helpful. The mid season tournament in Vegas may be a similar pay out. But idk

Apparently there's an NIL incentive tied into this tournament. No one knows what the incentive is though. If it goes to our collective, then it's definitely something that'll make a difference

I think meah was what he was. I didn't think much of him tbh though. To each is it's own. A lot depends on how they see Berke next year. A combo 4/5 again, or primary 4? And if bollis is ready to contribute, which I wouldn't bank on. Id personally prefer 1, but depends how the roster falls and where the needs are.

Yeah he was pretty soft, specifically around the rim. He needs to embrace physicality more often, and I have to think that's a point of emphasis on the off-season. One also wonders if having 3(?) different injuries in the same year played a role. Last 4 games of the year he clearly didn't trust his body. Meah I just didn't think much of tbh. So him being soft doesn't shock me. The faster he can get out of here the better. One of my least favorite players I've seen, and I'm usually EXTREMELY PATIENT with players. But holy shit he was lazy.

He was one of my guys, so ive pondered about Berke and his season so I went to the stats. His jumper in conference play was better than I had realized honestly. Before going down with his ankle injury vs OSU, he was 37.5 from deep on 40 attempts across 13 games in conference play. I've said it for a while, I care more about conference play #s at the end of the season. Low volume, but effective in his choices. What brings down his % from 3 is going 1/12 in the last 4 games of the year. He does play soft around the bucket at times, and that is 100% something he needs to work on, but that comes with working on his body imo. Needs some reshaping and some more muscle. Very good rebounder. Smart in the post on defense. And high low actions with him posting and mast feeding need to be a part of the offense next year. Only reason I bring him up is I see him getting beat up a bit across different Nebraska boards, and I thought his season was good through the middle half, but ended absolutely terrible.

I've had this talk with a buddy and some family members. Few things stood out to me this year about what went wrong. -Rollie IS NOT what I expected. At all. Far worse overall player and didn't relax the offense at all. With no big initiating offense, rollie had to be the QB of the team, and he failed. This is probably the biggest thing about what went wrong this year. They really needed Rollie to be a positive player and I don't think he was close. -all 3 bigs collectively playing bad at the same time didn't help. Berke I know was struggling with his injury, and I like how he played against Iowa honestly. But he played some of his worst basketball after his ankle injury. Morgan slowly got worse as the season went on and you could tell his confidence faltered in the process. Meah I thought played in in a few games and downright terrible in the rest. I didn't have high expectations for him honestly, so not too shocked. -I'll cut Connor some slack because I do think he fought on the glass and on defense more than I thought he would. That stood out to me. Mentioned it in another thread, but we don't win NW without him crashing the glass like he did. But he has to get to be more consistent from 3. It's either really hot and he'll hit 3-4, or he'll miss every 3. Having better shooting around him should help next year though.

Of late, we've had more success with guys moving up from mid majors. I don't think there's an exact formula really, it's about finding the right fit. I lean towards the mid major under this current climate personally. The staff as a whole outside of this last cycle, has been pretty on the money with who they've brought in and those guys making positive impacts. The PG duo from last year in ulis and boogie was a disaster, but they were options 4 and 5 iirc. I'm looking forward to some of these guys getting better in the off-season after a taste of basketball here. Portal wise, we'll see what it holds. JUCO ruling could inflate it a bit, but there's the revenue share part that could hold some guys.

I thought his fight was there most of the time. He just couldn't hit a shot. We don't win the NW game without how hard he crashed the glass. He definitely got tougher this year, he just needs to shoot a bit better.

Ask and ye shall receive. I don't think Miami will be a threat given it was under a previous staff. Cincy is interesting though

Hoping to get a resolution on him somewhat soon. Haven't heard anything about any visits since ours.

I haven't been as active on here as years past, but this is still my #1 go to place for husker hoops knowledge. I was able to go to most home games this year and plan on going to them next year also.

Frager, while people are hearing good things, is an unknown at this level. As is rhymes. Gavin I'd be shocked if he's back personally. Id start with getting one for sure stud at each spot, wing and PG, and then evaluate the portal/roster and go from there.

Id put a scoring wing up there also. 1A/1B type situation. Need to nail those two pretty badly.

I would've said something along the lines of "so when the hell are you guys going to fire Kelly Pfeifer?"

Team as a whole over there is worse shooting the 3 than us, which is saying something. I think it would've been better had he been here, but probably low-mid 30%.

He moved a considerable amount. Considering the ref was right next to him and that's his job, yeah there's a reason to be upset.

Proud of the effort and the fight. Toughly fought game that was decided up until the buzzer. Kelly Pfeifer is probably top 2 worst refs in the big ten, so NOT SHOCKED he called a terrible game. Not just the movement on the out of bounds, but the Ts that were missed and the Brice flagrant. I'll give them the out of bounds on Connor, as I could see where they could say it touched his hand before going out. Don't think it was conclusive, which it needs to be, but can see it. Iowa is dead in the water. Close that one, lick your wounds and win a game or two in the BTT. Quality of wins to this point help a lot to keep us in the conversation, just need a few more wins.

Berke getting hurt 3 different times it feels like this year hasn't helped him get confident and stay confident either. Hopefully he doesn't have any fiba stuff this summer, because he can use the time to get his body right and rest up. He didn't have much off time last year going into the season, so hopefully he gets some this year to just focus on his body

I disagree on consistency tbh. I look at big ten play with a lot of stuff, and In Big ten play he's floating around 34% from 3 before today, which should bump up. He'll likely end up with more makes from 3 in conference than CJ and right behind keisei. Now, he's THE shooter on the team, so he's going to have a good number of makes from 3 in big ten play, whereas last year there was 5 guys who could hit a 3 ball consistently. I see him in more of a CJ role tbh, but that's just me I just expected more, but having better shooters supporting him next year should help.
