Jugular

They actually have the 4th best odds…the lottery is on Tuesday.

Video kind of reminds me of Ethan Wragge. Not super athletic but has good size and can shoot from deep with a very quick release.

Before. Unfortunate that we didn’t think of having him try the prep school route

That’s accurate. One staff member at the time told me emphatically there was no way he’d qualify and would be going JUCO. They obviously did not do enough homework on that one

Wonder what kind of relationship he had with Ben Johnson. That might be something to keep an eye on

How big is he?

We’ve now flipped a roster twice. Next year will see even more. At some point we need to look at the coaches as well. Basketball can be turned around quickly. That’s my biggest complaint. But also my biggest hope

Good info. Do you think he looks less athletic/explosive? I think he looked leaner last season.

Well, he spoke VERY highly of Lat. He’s struggled terribly since the first couple games. Thor has been rough. I wasn’t expecting much from Shamiel and he’s been somehow less than what I was expecting. Not sure why they let him shoot jump shots. Teddy has been OK, but what did he shoot on FT’s in JC last year...90%? His footwork on his shot seems odd compared to last year’s film too. Hell, he looked leaner and more explosive in JC too. Look at the film...he had an actual JUMPER last year.

We just really don’t have shooters. Why they let Shamiel even shoot a 3 is beyond me. If I’m betting on a scholarship opening, it’s his. He’s not good. He needs to carve out a role as a defender but doesn’t appear to want to do that. Unless Lat is hitting 3’s, he doesn’t provide much. I think getting Walker back will help Lat. After sitting in on Hoiberg’s zoom chat, I was really hoping for a lot more from this team shooting-wise. I’m sure it can improve, but we’ve seen a pretty good sample now.

I said “values” recruiting local kids. Like believes we have the talent in Nebraska to build on. Just because they had a zoom meeting recently does that mean we are putting the full court press on Traudt and are one of a handful of schools that are recruiting him the hardest. Chucky probably fits better at Wisconsin than he does in Lincoln. Wisconsin year in and year out puts out tough teams. We definitely don’t. But getting a kid like that in your program can help build that mindset. Cole Payton had offers if he wanted them. He’s just a throw back. He gave his word and commitment to

Based on the interview, we weren’t listed as one of the schools that were recruiting Traudt the hardest. He hasn’t trimmed a list down. I don’t know, I’d be busting my ass off recruiting a local stud that would fit perfectly in our offense. We didn’t effort real hard on Chucky and I’d sure as hell want a tough PG that competes his ass off. Until we start recruiting guys that our opponents think: “that’s a tough SOB” we will continue to suck. Fred chose to “keep” Williams but the writing was on the wall when they saint actively recruit him. They didn’t really recruit Murrell. I’ve hear

Bolt seems to be the only coach in Lincoln that values recruiting local kids

Would’ve never guessed that Yvan would make 2 FT’s with 4 seconds left to hit the overs. But I won’t complain.
