Remind me...

Was it Martin Rancik??

Worse than the loss with 0.7 seconds left to Iowa State?? What was his name... I'm going to kick myself when someone says it. And worse than when a freshman Keith Langford hit his first three of the season (or maybe it was conference season) from well beyond NBA range to beat us? What was that ISU forward's name... he slipped the pick and Kimani Ffriend bit hook, line and sinker.

I heard and agreed with what Matt and Kent said. It's probably a mixture of apathy and expectations. Until we win consistently, the majority of the 15k will cheer when there's something to cheer about and sit quietly when there's not. I DO think the HuskerVision team could do a better job. The timeouts focus more on advertising than getting the crowd into the games. It might be a case of nostalgia, but I thoughy some of the video clips we used to play did a decent job (the Cheers clip, the Tommy Boy clip, etc.). I haven't been to a UNO hockey game in a couple of years, but I think their video crew has historically done a good job with video clips that pump up the crowd.

Let's atleast let kid play some games for us before we write him off as a waste of a scholarship.i haven't written him off, but the only reason he is on the team is because white left. Miles has even said this.From what I read, Miles said ET was on their radar before AW3 announced his decision to transfer. yes, but miles said we pulled the trigger after white left. and given that miles likes to leave a scholarship open, i doubt we would have signed him if white had not left. No one LIKES to leave a scholarship open

So on The Drive yesterday, Washut said that White wants to go to a team where he will serve MORE as a three-point specialist like he would in the NBA... A better team where he'd have a specific role, versus here where'd he'd be asked to do a lot more. I ran into Gandolfo's in the middle of the segment, so I missed some of it, but that's the gist of what I heard.

It's how the game is played these days.I don't remember the game being played that way for many others on our roster.Oh, sure it did. Maybe not as out in the open, but it's been done quite a bit. I saw it for AW3 and Watson. Webster, too some, IIRC. If we keep going after top 150 guys, you'll see it a lot more. I don't recall any of those guys asking for fans to tweet at them. I could certainly be wrong. I don't have a problem with a recruit being active on Twitter... I'm not fond of the attention seeking.

I may be alone on this, but if the kid is going to make his decision on which fan base tweets at him the most, I won't be too heartbroken if he ends up elsewhere.

we absolutely should take both if necessary. there are no other 4 star or top 150 recruits that we have a shot at for the upcoming season. At the risk of getting caught up on unimportant details, I don't think Jordy is a 4-star or top-150 recruit. I believe he's a composite 3-star and composite unranked unless we are cherry picking from various recruiting services. More importantly, has he said anything about wanting to go somewhere with his half brother? Or is our angst on that issue conjecture? Without researching, I don't think they went to the same high school.

This is why I have been frustrated with leaving a ship open every year. Yes there are only so many spots in the rotation for playing time. However, if your 13th guy is good enough, he pushes the guys ahead and is ready to step in when it's his turn. That said, while his shooting has been a major disappointment, I don't dislike Fuller. Agreed. You obviously don't hit home runs on 13/13 recruits. But you need guys like Hammonds, Evelyn, Fuller, etc. to develop into solid role players that can push the primary players and contribute as upperclassmen. Leaving a scholarship open prevents this. Having potential role players continue to transfer out before we can develop them prevents this. Some turnover is inevitable... But it should be a balance.

You're shocked that he wasn't offered here? Or at NDSU? I would imagine that imnothipp meant 'anywhere'... I would agree with that. Kid looked pretty smooth.

It was unreal. Nate Johnson's shot to win at Creighton in the NIT was a higher feeling MOMENT for me, but the energy for that entire Wisconsin game will go unrivaled.

What????What does that even mean? Better than what? If you're excited about a CBI invite your expectations for this program are WAY lower than mine. I don't want us in some rinky dink tournament with a bunch of no-names, and frankly I don't care how "beneficial" the extra practice time would be. I see, so it's better to deny extra practices and game experience for our underclassmen because they should instead be made to sit at home and reflect on the damage they've done. They should be ashamed of themselves! That'll really teach them to not suck so much next time, won't it!!! We've turned down the CBI before...

Anyone who's been going since Nee knows it's not just about seeing a winner.

He'll probably go to ASU... Just to twist the Burno knife one more time

In my opinion, stars become far less meaningful for college transfers. I would think that particular evaluation would be superseded by the abilities demonstrated at their previous college. Obviously there are exceptions, and White may be one, given the circumstances at KU.

Ryan Anderson hit a last-second heaving 3 pointer to beat UNK, right? I have not watched any of the Spain games, but have heard the competition is comparable to NAIA schools from a couple of people who have.

Well said, Hooper

Wasn't the writing on the wall in April that Billy D. was taking the OKC job?

Ya if the connection is strong enough to leave us after 1.5 months, shouldn't it have been strong enough for Hurley to make a spot for him initially?

Seems like a dick move, even with the connection. Hurley was hired in April. Obviously it takes a while to assemble a staff, but if they have such a strong connection wouldn't you expect Hurley to have reached out to him a while back? Regardless, a part of me feels that when you sign on for something, you're making a commitment.

Agreed with Navin. That's why Fuller saw such limited time last year.
