Thank you.

I’ll gladly take you thinking of this song when you see me post. Not one thing wrong with it

Next episode of the pod will be out on Monday morning. Talked with Tate Frazier from The Ringer who honestly is one of my inspirations to do a CBB pod. Talked a lot of big picture CBB storylines going into the season, and he even said nice things about Nebraska without me asking him to. Stay tuned

Appreciate it and appreciate you.

Appreciate that man! Had been a while since I’d done a solo show, so I definitely said um a lot and things like that, but there’ll be a lot more in depth stuff coming soon.

Hello friends. Launched season two of my podcast today with a new episode giving some general thoughts and takeaways from the intrasquad scrimmage on Sunday afternoon. You can listen on Apple, Spotify, or the podcast platform of your choice. New this season, you can watch episodes on YouTube on HuskerMax’s channel if you prefer a visual medium for podcasts. Will have lots of content coming throughout the season. Had some fun summer episodes including conversations with former Nebraska head coach Tim Miles, former Nebraska assistants Michael Lewis and Ali Farokhmanesh, and SEC associate commissioner Garth Glissman. Check it out if you feel so inclined or if you need more basketball content in your world.

Direct quote from Fred at Big Ten Media Day. Asked about how last year’s scrimmage against Utah showed him what they’re getting in Rollie: “Well he made four 3’s against us in the first half. So I told him, I know you like shooting in PBA.”

Berke may be the player not named Brice Williams that I’m the most intrigued by. Since Fred got to Lincoln I’ve kinda joked that he’s been chasing “the ghost of Georges Niang.” Not the new, skinny, NBA shooting guard Georges Niang, but the point forward at Iowa State. Most certainly not a 1 to 1 comp, but Berke fits the mold pretty well.

some thoughts from me on my time in Rosemont yesterday.

Being able to kids in Indiana "yeah Purdue runs good offense now, but I'm the reason they started to run good offense in the first place," isn't too shabby of a recruiting pitch.

Unofficial preseason media poll will be dropping at the top of the hour. For the record, I was not asked to vote, nor did I expect to be asked.

Notre Dame has had quite the recruiting run over the last two weeks. Shrewsberry clearly has sold some folks on his vision, and for what its worth, I'd buy into that vision too. I think Shrewsberry is on the fast track to the upper echelon of coaches in the sport.

Will be tougher to happen in hoops given there currently isn’t an equivalent to the 4 game redshirt rule with basketball

Preseason honors are out. Believe unofficial preseason media poll will drop tomorrow.

Completely agree. The exhibition and another fairly light non-con gives Fred and Co plenty of opportunity to tinker with rotations and see what looks the best. Lots of versatility and options to play with.

Here is my latest magazine story that appeared in this month's Huskers Illustrated. My shot at projecting an opening night starting five. Some people may be surprised with one of my picks. https://www.huskersillustrated.com/mens_basketball/stories/new-look-huskers/article_add36730-7b70-11ef-83fd-334f1fde117d.html

Think they'll be picked 11th or 12th. I have not been asked to vote in any preseason polls, if I was asked to vote, I'd pick em 8th or 9th

Can confirm I will be there. Feel free to ask any questions you may have going into next week. Media day Thursday and then opening night event in the railyard the day after

That is an excellent question. I’d guess shortly after media day which is on October 3rd.

gave four quick takeaways on the conference slate.

Appreciate this a lot. Was great.

Morgan on P&Rs will be very present.

Hopped on with Joe Jackson to give my version of a “way too early” season preview for Nebraska this coming season. It’s up on YouTube and podcast platforms.

Locked in an official for Colorado football game weekend. Will be on campus with Bynum and West. Pretty big weekend for 2025s
