For at least an hour or two (hopefully!), I think we still have enough on the roster to field a starting five next year.
 
Williams
Gary
Mast
Hoiberg
Jacobsen
 
Grace as our sixth man
Burt to fill out the rotation
 
We're fine guys - this lineup could beat a Juwan Howard led Michigan team any day of the week.

Had a girlfriend use the God excuse on me back in high school. Needless to say, that wasn't her real reason 😂

A LOT of guys go into the portal and don't get an offer from anyone. (If you leave Detroit Mercy for more playing time, where do you go?) In addition, a lot of coaches oversign on recruits, and guys get bumped to make room. They move down.
 
It's not a zero sum game. Or maybe it is a zero sum game. I can never get that right.

JLaw is 431 is Torvik portal rankings. You can argue that's way too low, but it makes it pretty clear that he didn't get a money bag thrown at him. He's leaving because either he wants to play closer to home or he doesn't see his role expanding with the players we're recruiting.
 
He's very valuable to us, but he's not a very shiny new toy to other programs.

I agree. I just don't think he was lured away by bags of money, because he wouldn't appear that impressive to a program that had bags of money. His departure is more likely due to displeasure over his role next year or some other factor.

Be a shame if they hired Buzz and A & M had to start a coaching search. I heard they just hired a new AD. 

If it is true that the staff didn't expect or want JL to leave, I wonder if this is a case where the door will be left open for him to "re-commit" to Nebraska if he doesn't get the offers or attention he wants out of portal. I can think of quite a few players at other schools that happened with last year.

Maybe he turns out to be a great college player somewhere but currently Lloyd has logged less D1 minutes than Brant Banks

Honestly that lineup might finish last

Why can't both be true?

I just have this weird feeling that Fred has a plan that we are gonna really like.

UConn has reached out to William Kyle

I guess this means the Husker baseball team will not be getting Sidd Finch.

Asking for a friend: Can we hold off with the 2024-2025 lineups for a week or so until everything settles out?

Interesting hearing Van Gundy compare college ball to the NBA.  He indicated that college refs allow play to be much more physical.
Whether true or not, it sort of blows my mind.  I remember the NBA during the bad boy era.  Even before with Moses Malone and a host of others.  They had a ton of bad mo fo's on the court.  High School and college was much more finesse and skill oriented.
Now pro ball is the most hands off level of play...goodness gracious.
By the way, high school ball is WAY out of hand.  The administration and referee association has to fully address and alter foul versus non fouls.
So back to college, maybe holding Keisei is now a perfectly fair and normal way to play the game 🤷‍♂️
