Seems really fluid. If he's able to make a contribution and we need him and it's the start of February, he might pull the trigger considering he did get that extra year.

Fred talked about that on Monday and said he's still progressing. They were looking to ramp up after Christmas and talked about needing him for Big 10 play though he did say that a redshirt was still in play. Talk about a medical redshirt at this point are completely premature because he hasn't taken his regular redshirt and you can't get a medical redshirt playing your under 30% of games at the end of the season.

Auto-correct for sure

No Burt for Christmas Sam is going to have the play 25 minutes and if we are winning big go back out with the walk-ons

Thanks, I know I had at least one draft where I'd changed that last night

He would have spent most of it regretting he hadn't left a dumpster fire

Very hard to sneak a 6'10" Dutch man into an OR these days

Do the Knicks know how good he is?

Nebraska 77 - North Dakota 64

Matt A's recruits were forced out because they were bad on and/or off the court.

Link to the ESPN+ video of this game in case I need it and don't want to search through ESPN+ for 20 minutes https://www.espn.com/espnplus/player/_/id/1e5ba783-7c4a-49b6-8623-8f9274480013#bucketId=3

He played 36 minutes and didn't come out until 40 seconds were left when he certainly could have come out sooner since the game was well in hand. However he did wear a knee brace that he wasn't wearing vs Michigan St so there certainly is something going on. With that information I suspect we're going to put him on ice until after Christmas and re-evaluate. We'll have 9 days until a very winnable game against SC State and 14 days until the start of conference play vs Indiana at home.

Was reminded why Danny was such a great recruiter as he filibustered Fred on the Fred Hoiberg show.

Nebraska Cornhuskers (9-2) vs North Dakota Fighting Hawks (8-4) Date: Wednesday Dec 20th, 2023 Time: 6:30 pm Arena: PBA Broadcast: BTN+ North Dakota Head Coach: Paul Sather (5th year) Location: Grand Forks, ND Conference: Big Sky Nickname: Fighting Hawks Line: Nebraska by 18.5 Typical Rotation Depth: 9+ KenPom rank: 262 Nota bene: The Fighting Hawks have a lot of length on the roster to the point they are KenPom's 18th ranked team in Average Height Nebraska last played hosted North Dakota back in 2019 during Fred Hoiberg's first season with North Dakota pulling off the 75-74 upset York, Nebraska native Brady Danielson is the only remaining player from the last meeting between the Hawks and Huskers KenPom most used lineups PG SG SF PF C Pct 1 2 Eli King 6-4 190 So 52 Treysen Eaglestaff 6-6 190 So 20 BJ Omot 6-8 185 So 10 Tsotne Tsartsidze 6-9 235 Sr 3 Amar Kuljuhovic 6-8 225 Jr 22.4 2 1 Elijah Brooks 6-4 195 So 52 Treysen Eaglestaff 6-6 190 So 20 BJ Omot 6-8 185 So 5 Deng Mayar 6-8 180 Jr 10 Tsotne Tsartsidze 6-9 235 Sr 6.5 Player to watch: BJ Omot ND's leading scorer Omot is a budding star in the Summit and currently leads the Hawks at over 16 points per game. He's much better taking to the rim as he's a fairly poor 3pt shooter. Offers some rim protection. Player to watch: Trevsen Eaglestaff Another sophomore, Eaglestaff is easily the best 3pt shooter on the team, currently shooting 38.7% on the year. Tends to set up on the left side of the court and has a quick release. Player to watch: Tyree Ihenacho 6'4 PG Tyree Ihenacho has an interesting backstory as he started his college career earning Freshman of the year honors at North Dakota. He ended up transferring to James Madison where he had a couple of decent seasons. He decided to transfer back to North Dakota and was in the middle of sitting out for the season before the NCAA lost a court case about multiple transfers and decided to play. This will be his 2nd game back and it wouldn't be surprising to see him get the starting nod at PG. Ihenacho is probably the flashiest passer on the team but tends to be turnover prone. His shooting is spotty. Others to watch Juco transfer Amar Kuljuhovic is the team's leading rebounder and is shooting 67.3% on the season from the floor. Tsotne Tsartsidze is a 4/5 who will shoot at a decent clip from the outside. Deng Mayar is a skinny JUCO post who rebounds well but hasn't been scoring much. Iowa St transfer Eli King is starting at PG but he's been just plain bad shooting the ball this season. Elijah Brooks at SG brings dribble drive ability. Brady Danielson is a glue guy for the Fighting Hawks.

The Skinny: Nebraska looks to head into Christmas break on a 3 game winning streak in a potential trap game against North Dakota. The Fighting Hawks' style of taking away the 3 is similar to both the Creighton and Minnesota squads responsible for Nebraska's only two loses. I'm interested to see how many 3pt attempts Keisei has in this game given this type of defense tends to limit him but it doesn't have B1G level defenders. Feels like Nebraska should be able to get the FT line in this one. The Hawks will probably take a bunch of 3s and probably won't make a ton of them but some times the shots fall. As long as Nebraska can control the paint, they'll likely be ok. I think Nebraska will try and work in Boogie, Rice, and Diop in the first half if possible in this one.

Forget A.J. Lewandowski. Fred recently passed L.F. Klein's 35% winning percentage and has T.J. Hewiat's 37.5% and Jerry Bush's 38% in his sights.

Disagree with this 'everyone hates Nebraska' paranoia. There is some value to killing our next two opponents as opposed to just beating them soundly but if I had to choose between beatdown and getting minutes for Rice, Matar, and Boogie because we might need them when we play in conference I'm choosing the latter.

If we match our current projections and win 20 games, yeah

The super fun part about Kevin Cross is that I assume he was run off because he was a Doc recruit and not a Matt A recruit. If someone knows differently, feel free to correct me.

To simply, were currently on the cusp of being in the Tier that comes after the Purdue tier https://barttorvik.com/team-maps.php?year=2024

Second hand Danny story: Heard that Danny ended up talking to Tim on the phone at some point and brought up Miles hiring him as an assistant but did so in such a Danny Nee way that Tim didn't want Danny put through to him any more.
