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

Game against Loyola would be the most beneficial for the Non-Con SOS. Unfortunate they’re on the other side of the bracket, but that would be a good matchup for the final.

Talked with Coach Miles for half an hour today. Will be on your preferred podcast platforms Monday morning.

Will be waiting with baited breath for a highlight from a game where he’s playing well to be captioned “BK, have it your way.”

May or may not be talking to Tim Miles tomorrow for the next episode of my podcast.

This actually means a lot and is still pretty cool for me to hear. Appreciate you.

Dropped a very fun pod with Ali Farokhmanesh. Could talk to that dude for hours about just about anything. One of the best people I know. May be a little too inside baseball on Colorado State and the Mountain West for some folks, but there’s some golden stories and great tidbits about Niko Medved. Have another old friend whose now coaching in the Mountain West coming up soon.

Likely the case. I know they got set up with shot tracker a few years ago.

Don’t think Catapult tracks shot. That’s more of heart rate/training monitor type of deal.

Had a nice podcast chat with Joe Jackson who does great film breakdown content on Twitter and YouTube about various Big Ten hoops topics including Nebraska and their newcomers going into this season. Give it a listen if you need to scratch your basketball itch on August 5th.
