Birdsonthebat is cool

I'd like Holloman more as he is more of a true PG, but maybe with Holloman retweeting Kendall Blue's decommitment we can get both. I'd be okay with them both for sure https://x.com/KendallBlue9/status/1908241494193938926?t=7N1V6t1deXl023ZNN7XYeA&s=19

It's because they won't pay for a game changer that we need at pg like Nijel Pack. Instead they pay $500k for an arerage project, and see if they can develop them. Basically ROI is what these investors invest in. They are picking the Wrong Stocks they got to stoo playing the pennies

I used Warren as an example... I am referring to multiple donors that have 1.5 million to spare unlike myself

This is the problem... Nebraska has the funds and these comments are ridiculous. Do you want to win, you have to pay for it. It should not have to come out of the pockets of the fan base to get the necessary players. Edit: At least not the pockets of the fans that are middle/upper middle class like myself, $1.5 million for say Warren Buffett is like a quarter for a video game at beercade for me

I like Nijel Pack although that Kyan Evans looks pretty good!

This info is from 2023, but I am sure it still holds true 1. Overall Basketball Revenue - Nebraska: $17.5 million (2022–23) - Creighton: $14.7 million (2022–23) This $2.8 million gap suggests Nebraska starts with a larger financial base for basketball operations, including potential NIL support. --- 2. Surplus After Expenses - Nebraska Men’s Basketball Surplus: $7.1 million - This shows Nebraska not only generates more, but also retains more cash after expenses—money that could indirectly benefit NIL, such as through collective contributions. --- 3. NIL Infrastructure - Nebraska: Has an official collective (The 1890 Initiative) that works in tandem with the athletic department, creating a streamlined, donor-friendly NIL ecosystem. This level of integration and coordination can drive more targeted NIL fundraising, especially from wealthy alumni and businesses tied to athletics. - Creighton: Uses a marketplace (Opendorse) and donor campaigns like the Champions Circle, which raised $1.9 million total across the year—not exclusively NIL. --- 4. Donor Culture and Fan Base - Nebraska’s donor base and fan culture are much larger and more invested in athletics overall. Even though football drives most of the total athletics revenue, this fan enthusiasm spills over into other sports like basketball—especially when the program is showing promise. --- 5. Facilities and Investment Signal - Nebraska’s recent investment in a $165M "Go Big" athletic facility—while football-driven—signals the scale of athletic fundraising capability, which often supports other sports like basketball through shared donor networks. Conclusion While exact NIL dollars per program aren’t published, Nebraska’s higher basketball revenue, larger surplus, integrated NIL collective, and bigger donor/fan base all suggest it has a greater capacity to support basketball players with NIL opportunities than Creighton. The infrastructure and momentum are simply operating on a larger scale.

Yes... jayskers annoy the hell out of me. That is true 100%

Also, it is not about duplicating Conner Essegian. Is that the standard now? How about we get more all around versitile players instead of a bunch of role players that we keep our fingers crossed they are hot one night. Like take Dix for example... he is a great 3 point shooter like Sandfort, but also can create his own shot. It really is more about getting a leader type player to motivate the team, and until we get that I'm not going to be happy

When it comes to Creighton athletics, especially basketball. There’s no reason Nebraska should be settling for lower-tier athletes. Creighton might be the trendy pick right now, but Nebraska, as a Big Ten school, brings in significantly more athletic revenue and should be leveraging that advantage. Maybe it’s a little jealousy, sure. But it’s frustrating to see a program like Creighton outperform Nebraska in a major men’s sport when we have the resources to compete at a higher level. I’m not even saying we should be going after Iowa’s players, but there’s no way Creighton should be landing guys like Dix or Freeman over us.

We need Nijel Pack and Bidunga to go along with Lawrence and Sandfort. That would make me happy. My gut tells me Hoiberg is going to go after Booker from Michigan State

I guess it will be, but this get is as exciting as watching paint dry. He is the one Creighton didn't want basically so we got him. Downvote me all day, it doesn't take away we are recruiting NIT/Crown talent. I guess we'll see who is right around this time in March 2026. I am hoping I am wrong, but we need to do better

Honest questions Dix the only player on that Iowa team I would of been "ok" with getting. Although the truth is I didn't want anybody from that team. So why is picking up Gavin Griffiths 2.0 such a good get? Not only that he is from freaking IOWA people. I am not okay with this pick up for that reason alone. His brother single handedly started our 6 game skid. The other question is who are we going to get to replace Brice Williams? You know the most important replacment. These role players at Pryce Sandfort level are a dime a dozen IMO

Berke can't hit a person in the crowd if he dumped a box of confetti from the rafters. I swear I lose brain cells trying to grasp how someone can be that bad at passing and shooting at the D1 level. I mean lets face it, he was projected as a 2nd round pick in the preseason NBA draft, and these last two game I am not convinced he'd look good again a Class A high school basketball team. In basketball you need to know how to do 3 things. Dribble Pass Shoot The rest is all about effort and athleticism. While I have been a Berke fan up until the last two game, these last two games have me angry. He is 1-16 since his comeback and outside of defense he brought nothing else to the table. I am for Morgan being the starter for the rest of the season and Meah being his back up at this point. We needed Berke to be a scoring option, and he clearly is not. Essegian is not as bad as Berke, but he too can be cold as ice. You can't have that, and those two are quite honestly the reason we are where we are. They went cold in crunch time. Also a rolled ankle does not turn your shot to junior high level over a week and half of being out. I feel terrible for Brice Williams. The guy deserved better for his effort this year

They sulk because it is usually 2 on 5 out there. At first I was angry with them for not being more balanced. However after watching everyone else on the team the last 4 games... Outside of Morgan about 25% of the time they are absolutely terrible on offense. If I have to pick our offensive threats after Williams and Gary it would be... 1. Morgan 2. Hoiberg (Seriously Sad but true) 3. Essegian 4. Worster 5. Griffith (Yes I know he is on the bench, that is what I think of the other's offensive gameplay) 6. Ulis (At least he can pass) t7. Meah (Not sure on what to say here, can't even dunk half the time directly under the rim. Worse free throw shooter than Shaq) t7. Berke (I don't care what he looked like prior to the last two games. Coming back from that injury his offense would be better if he was shooting dogs out of the Weiner Slinger. The man can't pass or shoot right now. It is literally the worst I have seen in a looooooong time if not ever.)
