It’s a player.

Same could be said for guys like Tyler Hansbrough. Being fundamentally sound can get you a spot on a NBA roster but teams are looking for the "freak" that can become a star or at least a decent starter. Im not saying its right but its how the league has been trending.

As much as I love watching games I don’t think Fred wants to take any chance at a L that he doesn’t have to at this point. We all know the Big 10 is going to be tough and wins will be at a premium. Fred wants to show progress to the recruits and taking on potential losses is not exactly the best recipe for that.

Believe he was a composite 5 star but not on their site until the most recent re-rank.

Thor started.

I can honestly say for the first time in awhile that I believe that the future of a budding program is starting and I’m excited to see it finally happen. I truly believe we have the right people in place for once and the future of something special is on the horizon. I want to enjoy this crazy season the best I can because I know it’s going to be wild as we have already seen with scheduling nightmares but can only think of what the future holds with this team. Couple this year of experience with the weapons coming in I truly believe next years squad on paper is the best we will have likely seen in a long time if ever. That may be some kool-aid but think that Fred can turn us around much like he did at Iowa State and as a fan of the game I really want Nebraska to finally be something after so many disappointing years. So here’s to the future let’s all enjoy the ride.

I’d say that the previous offer made was the start and after getting McGowens they are capitalizing on the 5 star recruiting wave. It’s a lot easier to sell the future when you can get a guy like him to buy in.

Paul Velander? I might be off on the decade part but that's about the last one I can think off.

Hopefully they can scramble and get some teams. We lose out on those two games if we aren’t unable to get a MTE played with the rules this season.

It’s hard to predict anything without seeing the team first. On top of that with the fan access during the season I can’t imagine there will be any true home court advantages so it comes down to who wants it more in those games.

He HAS to redshirt since he's transferring up. So we won't see him at all this year.

It would totally be a Nebrasketball thing to finally land a 5 star and they cancel the McDonalds all American game.

With the news of Arop having season ending knee surgery his prospects for the future look bleak.

Arop being out for the season doesn't help his status as he was the odd man out for the future and a knee injury isn't going to improve those odds.

With the approval of the one time transfer for next year I'd expect Fred to have a talk with him after the season about his future here and find a nice place for him to land and be able to play right away. Should we land Bryce someone will have to leave, which someone always does, and he seems to be the most likely candidate. The thing that throws a wrinkle in that is if Webster comes back how does the scholarship process work. If its like the expected for the other Nebraska can pay for his scholarship above and beyond the limit giving us an extended roster. If not them someone else would have to go.

One interesting tidbit I did not know until watching the game the other day that his real last name is Dorez, but he changed it to honor his mother who passed away. It was her maiden name. Pretty cool kid.

Wood plays an integral part in the Bryce McGowens sweepstakes so I’m not trading him for anything right now.

After losing again tonight they play tomorrow on ESPN2 at noon.

He matched up against 5 star Oregon commit Nathan Bittle last night. I have no idea on stats but Prolific Prep totally crushed "Big Red" which is what they are calling the team since they are not playing as Mater Dei HS. Tonights game he's going up against another 5 star center Chet Holmgren. So definitely a fast start to the season for him.

Sometime in the next 26 days. I don’t think there’s a publicly known date in that window of time yet.

Average, probably anywhere from 20-24 minutes per game, but that will fluctuate depending on the team they are playing. I could see a game with 30 minutes and then a game with 15. I think thats the point of Fred's scheme is the ability to throw out something different every game depending on your matchups.

Walker is a big team leader. He will be the first big man off the bench.

Georgia is actually considered a dark horse favorite along with us so a list without them is incomplete.

I don’t see how Stevenson starts over a much improved Yvan.
