Need bigs...

We've really signed two guys who, with the right change of scenery, could absolutely EXCEL under Fred.  If they come in with the right mindset-- look out!

Eli Rice is very athletic.

Eli Rice is very athletic.

Seems like a fork in the road signing with Hepburn and Fidler both available 

Ulis isn’t leaving. And the staff loves him 

Nebraska lands former Rutgers transfer Gavin Griffiths from the transfer portal. The 4 star 6'8" sharpshooter was a big commit for the Scarlet Knights but struggled during his freshman year until the end of the season.  Despite the size look for Griffiths to slot at either the 2 or 3.
 
Griffiths will have 3 years of eligibility left and is the 3rd known commitment for 2024-25.  Nebraska currently has 4 scholarships remaining.

Gary, Juwan Ahron Ulis Williams, Brice Mast, Rienk Worster, Rollie Morgan, Andrew Griffiths, Gavin Janowski, Nick Frager, Braden  
 
Seems like prioritizing guys who might be here past next season should be highly considered.

If Mast has to be sit out either way, he is better of staying at DONU on our "payroll" and taking advantage of our world-class sports medicine. 

I was always under the assumption that this was to compliment Mast.  Especially with losing Allick, Keita, and Diop.

No regerts.

Jamarques Lawrence commented on that Instagram post with a heart emoji. Come on back JL. We’ll pretend you never left. 

I highly doubt Fidler has intention of transferring and not starting, potentially same for Billiew. 

That Rock Bottom thread is burried deep, deep, into the interwebs right now. Let's not resurface that any time soon.
 
There were times we thought we hit rock bottom, when in reality there was more rock to dig. I'm going with the same theory here. We haven't reached Cloud Nine. But we're at a state of cloud nine that will soon get us to a grander state of cloud nine.
 
Yesterday, Fred won the national coach of the year award. Then Brice Williams and Juwan Gary publicly announced their commitment to the program. Then Keisei Tominaga won the internet and the 3-point shooting competition. What a day for Nebraska basketball. What a day.
 
Let this be your Cloud Nine safe space for those moments that just make you smile inside and outside about Nebraska basketball. I hope this thread gets resurfaced more than the rival one that's gotten a lot of miles of use over the years.
 
Go Big Red!

Maybe he turns out to be a great college player somewhere but currently Lloyd has logged less D1 minutes than Brant Banks

Air Husker is going Fargo-Minny-Peoria-Champaign. One possibility:
 
Peoria = Hickman,  Champaign = Dainja, Minneapolis = Payne, and Fargo = Morgan.

I just have this weird feeling that Fred has a plan that we are gonna really like.

Take some NyQuil. Get some rest. The puzzle pieces will start to come together with the open spots we have to work with.

Okay I am going there
 
BIG FLIPPING MIDDLE FINGER TO YOU JAMARCUS. I HOPE YOU GO SOME PLACE AND BLOW OUT BOTH ACL IN TWO DIFFERENT YEARS AND NEVER PLAY AGAIN. J AM TIRED IF THIS. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
 
Of course if he is just doing an April Fool’s joke or decided to stay I will love him again. 🤨😎

I have to wonder who we have lined up to come here for JL to leave

Hate seeing Jamarques leave.  He was one of my favorites on the team and always seemed like a really good kid and a good teammate.   We have benefited from the portal in some cases - but really hate all the transition it creates overall and REALLY hate it when we have players leave like this.   Hoping it is an April Fools joke but assume it is not.

Really a bummer. JL was one of my favorites and I hope he does well. But I'm afraid he'll be one that realizes the grass isn't always greener. There aren't too many coaches out there that will give him the long leash and ultimate green light that he had here. 

Time to worry!!!
 
 

My finger is moving in the direction of the panic button.

We absolutely need Williams, Gary, and Mast to return.
