This is easy. You recruit HS kids so that you have a better chance to land them on their 2nd-5th stop.

Good skillset for a team that finished as the 342nd best 3pt shooting in D1

People said we need to be more athletic like A&M. Well we just got a little closer. 

I mean-- the dude didn't get a single minute of playing time.  So I can't fault him for leaving....

We now have 6 players who have averaged double figure ppg in their careers. I'm guessing we'll add at least one more. Kyle and Igor would both be in that category. Plus Sam, Ulis and Griffiths have all been contributors. 
Don't think Nebraska has ever had that much previous year(s) production on the roster going into a season. 

Indiana got Kanaan Carlyle. So now they’ve added two combo guards who each average about 1 made three per game on low percentage. Next to Galloway who does the same. Their McDonald’s AA three point sniper decommitted. They swapped out their 7 footer for another who is also an elite rebounder (not their issue) but is less versatile and less athletic than Ware. Which should effectively clog things up even more next to Reneau and all their guards who can’t shoot but also don’t have any amount of room to penetrate. Their fans are super pumped about their #1 rated portal class though. 

We simultaneously have too many and not enough scholarships available

Or we could just sign another PG and hope he can take a hint?

What about a team with two point guards?

If Frankie and Chucky both play at UNO next year they might win a tournament game before we do

IT’S EITHER GREAT NEWS OR THEY ARE ALL GOING TO CREIGHTON THERE IS NO IN BETWEEN. PREPARE TO GET YOUR HEARTS RIPPED OUT. 

Please not Creighton.

Biggest Fear #204748- We get torched by a former player in a game that matters.
 
Best of luck to Eli.  Hope he finds a solid role and scores 15 PPG except against us.

I sort of look at it this way; Keisei's replacement is already on the roster.  His name is BRICE WILLIAMS.

I hope NU can still snag an athletic wing player as well as another big... maybe Milicic and/or WK-III would fit, even both of 'em, as NU needs to shore up the interior and athleticism factors going into a 18-team Big Ten. It will be BRUTAL to face, so as many big dawgs will help the cause at securing that elusive M.M. victory, hopefully in Wichita, KS, in 2025 !!

Malique Ewin. We're still in the mix

Whatever has become of the top JUCO post player that Fred went to see a couple weeks ago?

Woodson can use all the NIL money he wants. Fred coached circles around him though this season. 

Here's a link to the prediction on Griffiths.
And this is a description of him from the Rutgers official bio (he was a freshman last season).
 
Gavin Griffiths, a 6-foot-8, 193-pound guard joins the Knightood for his first season in Piscataway. Griifiths is from the Kingswood-Oxford High School in West Hartford, Conn.,

Griffiths was ranked the No. 20 recruit in the country (247 Sports), marking the highest-ranked player landed in the Steve Pikiell-era and the second-highest recruit to attend RU in the modern era. Only former Rutgers guard Mike Rosario was ranked higher at the time of his recruitment (2008). Griffiths is also ranked No. 1 in the state of Connecticut by 247 Sports. Griffiths was upgraded from a four-star recruit to a five-star recruit in January of 2023.

Think about this.  We now have two legit point guards that are penetraters, pass first, and strong defenders.  And oh yeah, Brice has shown he can play point guard; and then there is that kid named Sam.

I really like this kid’s potential and think he’ll be a perfect fit for Hoiberg’s offense.  I remember watching him play against Nebraska thinking I’d love to have this kid on our team.  Big get IMO.

I really like his potential 

Time to go and re-watch the Rutgers games. 

Nebraska lands former Rutgers transfer Gavin Griffiths from the transfer portal. The 4 star 6'8" sharpshooter was a big commit for the Scarlet Knights but struggled during his freshman year until the end of the season.  Despite the size look for Griffiths to slot at either the 2 or 3.
 
Griffiths will have 3 years of eligibility left and is the 3rd known commitment for 2024-25.  Nebraska currently has 4 scholarships remaining.
