Nothing to see here. Just typical OWH creighton loving BS. So you think Barfknecht loves Creighton?

I'm sure Creighton fans will do their best to rag on the uptick in attendance (ignore the hypocrisy for a moment). I don't see why a subset of Nebraska fans should help them out by ragging on their own. Personally, I could care less if Joe Fan just started following Nebraska basketball this year. Hell, I don't even care if he wears a football jersey (although admittedly, I'm not a fan). I'm not interested in his backstory or what led to him cheering on the Huskers and when. At the end of the day, he's cheering for the same team I cheer for so all is well with me. Note: This topic reminds me of something Bill Simmons occasionally talks about in regards to soccer fans. He notes how they complain how no one follows soccer and it doesn't get enough press and then at the same time bemoan those who just started following soccer.

Does the quiet period apply to transfers? They're not really recruits.

Just to be clear, the American Athletic Conference is the name the leftover schools will use, like UConn. The conference with Creighton will still be named the Big East.

True, but even if the game is already scheduled, I really doubt that Miles is going to comment on twitter before the AD publicly announces it or tells Miles he can tweet about it.

Maybe it's just posturing but numerous outlets reported that Saunders turned them down about two days ago.

Oh, Silverback. If there's a person that uses emoticons more than you, I've yet to see him.

Shouldn't be crowing so much in a thread in which you repeatedly claimed (i) that NU really wasn't after Atewe that hard and (ii) that it was looking like Atewe wanted to come to NU but NU was slow-playing him.

Talk about job hopping. Wasn't he just at Rhode Island for just a year? And before that was he only at Wagner for a year too? You're thining of Bobby Hurley's brother, Dan Hurley.

I don't think the NCAA will police it at all. Every school's fanbase does this. The NCAA has enough on their plate.

Any info on whether Nevada or Charlotte will visit and, if so, when?

And the money isn't coming from the university. It's coming from boosters who live in the South where paying recruits is accepted and a way of life. It's been done for decades.

Yes, and the SEC doesn't pay football recruits either.

Miles at least thinks we'll have more talent. He doesn't know how the new players will adapt to pressure but he said that next year's team will be more talented.

And somewhere Benny Parker cries. Parker has the handles and the quickness. If he can consistently hit a jumper he'll be in the mix. I think the remark from Miles and my sensationalist topic title speaks more towards the flexibility of Pettaway as opposed to him playing point. Understood. It was more just a joke about from Benny's perspective, he can't be feeling confident right now. He gets passed over for playing time this year when there's no true PG left, Miles has made numerous comments about not having a PG who can drive to the basket, and while innocent enough, now Miles has said that Petteway can also play PG.

And somewhere Benny Parker cries.

Odds that he actually sticks to March 30 once and for all? I'd like to think so since he's done taking officials but nothing seems to surprise me with this kid.

You mean by giving a way a big lead, letting Purdue hit key shots and missing lots of free throws? I am glad we won but we kinda chocked at the end. Miles just doesn't seem like a very "hands on" coach. And I have like that for the most part but at the end of a game, especially when things aren't going your way it might not hurt to call a timeout and you know, coach. Miles is 6-0 this year in games decided by less than 5 points. Whatever he is doing has worked.

From what I've heard, he's at the top of NU's board. No cooling whatsoever. The staff wants him and he's their #1 big.Ok, I'll bite. You've heard directly from the coaches or one of their staff on this? No, but those who have. I know it's difficult for you to accept that Atewe may just want to take all five visits and that Charlotte may be neck and neck with Nebraska, but what basis do you have that NU has cooled? Honest question: what is your basis? Atewe himself has said that NU coaches talk to him almost on a daily basis. Other than Leslee Smith, a reach, there's absolutely no reports of NU going after another big right now. Do you think that'd slip through the cracks? No official visist lined up at NU either. You can discount my previous post or what Kamdy has said but all the evidence lines up to NU still going after Atewe HARD.

From what I've heard, he's at the top of NU's board. No cooling whatsoever. The staff wants him and he's their #1 big.

He's only had about 3 of those games this year, though. For most of the year, he seemed to be a total non-factor.

You're killing me, Smalls. The game is tomorrow.

Other than his public statements that he wanted to take all five visits? I still don't understand your reluctance to believe that he did, in fact, want to take all five visits.

Okay, I know it's all in fun in trying to reach 35 pages but in my opinion, posting nonsense just to post nonsense just clutters up this thread.

Unless things have changed, I always thought the consensus reports were that NO Big 12 team wanted to come up here to play. It seems that who the AD targeted but they were all no-go's.
