  1. Where did I say I wanted Cross gone before Arop? I said I THINK Cross is going to leave, and I THINK Arop is going to stay. It doesn't matter what any of us want. Last year everyone wanted Thor to leave, including some of his coaches. But Fred wanted him to stay, and so he did.
  2. I'll guess cross moves on and we get Sanogo to commit. I think that puts us at 11 schollies counting Arop. Then we'll probably try to add 2 sit-out transfers I would imagine. *You forgot King so I added him.
  3. I don't think either are particularly good, and I expect a healthy dose of a 5-man small lineup that doesn't include either of them on the floor.
  4. Fixed if for you :)
  5. We lost Cam Mack and Dachon Burke. We gained Kobe Webster, Kobe King, Dalano Banton and Teddy Allen. I wouldn't say we are severely limited at the guard spot at all. And I think you are under-estimating Teddy Allen's skill-set as well. Also i might add Webster might not be as quick or as skilled as Mack, but if he is 10x the person/teammate mack was, we'll be better off. Also, Fred's second year team at Iowa State had Royce White as its primary "guard" and that went alright (23-11, NCAA Second Round). Iowa State's starting lineup in 2011-12 was 6-3, 6, 3, 6-5, 6-6, 6-8. Right now our starting lineup for next year is probably 6-0 Webster, 6-4 King, 6-5 Allen, 6-8 Banton, 6-9 Ouedraogo. I was worried about our guards before. But adding a senior grand transfer/proven DI scorer/proven good teammate, I'm not worried about it now. We need an athletic big man more than another guard.
  6. you know what, screw it. I'm probably way wrong. Dalano Banton will be our Royce White. Maybe they prefer Banton to Mack even and couldn't care less if Mack leaves. Royce White 2011-12 (Fred's second year at ISU): 31.5 min/game. 13.4 ppg, 9.3 rpg, 170 assists, 130 turnovers. No one else on the team had even half as many assists or turnovers. I am not even more excited for next year. I could see Banton putting up those type of numbers given his assist/turnover ratio at WKU is about exactly what White's was.
  7. don't get me wrong, I think he will be a baller for us and Hoiberg will get the best out of him. I just don't think he will be the primarily ball handler/distributor on the team.
  8. great points.
  9. the bottom 10 games you calculated were the first 10 games of the season. you looked at everything in reverse order lol.
  10. sadly, i agree. banton averaged 15 mpg at WKU but averaged only 5 mpg in the last 10 games of the season. Basically, he got benched. his assist:turnover ratio at the end of the year was barely over 1. I know fred likes positionless basketball, but I can't fathom him being the guy bringing the ball up the floor and running the show for 30+ mins per game
  11. Good luck to him in the NBA..........................................I hear undersized point guards with a history of bad behavior who don't play much defense and have no shooting ability are a dime a dozen. But if he just dribbles and passes, he might turn some heads.
  12. I guess what I was trying to say was we will dismiss him or he will go overseas and play pro ball.
  13. 1. Stevenson 2. Walker 3. Banton 4. Allen 5. Mayen 6. King 7. Yvan returns 8. Thor returns 9. Cross returns 10. Green returns (unless we can find 4 players they like better) 11. I predict Sanogo commits and reclassifies 12. 13. Burke grad transfers Mack goes somewhere else Arop transfers to UNO All the walk-ons (Easley, Porter, Piatkowski) return
  14. Nebraska should issue a statement that it will be declining all postseason opportunities out of health concern for their players.
  15. I was gonna attempt to update our way too early projected rotation next year based on what we've learned in recent days, but you know what, eff it. there's no way it would be close to being right. Would it surprise anyone if Mack Burke Green Cross Arop Thor all left? No it wouldn't surprise me. So I'll pass on killing my brain cells.
  16. I just want to see them both play a bit. Is that so much to ask for the fans who have endured this nightmare.
  17. The third string quarterback/point guard is always the most popular player on the team.
  18. We could have used "just big" about 4 months ago.
  19. I'm not reveling on his injury. I feel very bad for that PLAYER. I do not feel bad at all for Creighton fans who are now very sad that their postseason chances have likely taken a big hit. Big difference.
  20. Would a Husker fan come to rescue Creighton every time they get mentioned on the Husker Hoops Central message board? I would not think so.
  21. I have my opinion about you which I base off you jumping in to poo poo any Creighton bashing, but that's the beauty of message boards.
  22. Sorry to offend you. It's obvious from your post history you're a fan of Creighton or at the very least a fan of both Nebraska and Creighton. An assistant coach was caught on camera accepting bribes and was fired for it. If you really think we're dumb enough to believe Mac had no knowledge of that, well then....
  23. Creighton fans boo-hooing about their horrible luck with zegarowski's injury, just like maurice watson. L.O.L. Umm when you are caught red-handed cheating your way to success you deserve every bit of bad luck that comes your way.
  24. You are right, he ended the year strong. All I think he needs to do is lift weights like a mad man this summer, work on his free throw touch and have stronger hands around the basket. If he fixes all those 3 things he'll be closer to an NBA project player than a college project player.
  25. Fair enough but you can't just remove his 1-9 free throw performance because it's convenient. He was the biggest offender on that historic FT shooting day that cost us that win. If we're going to do that, i'll throw in his 2 pts, 4 rebs; 6 pts, 6 rebs; 0 pts, 1 rebs; 2 pts, 4 rebs he had in the 4 games immediately before the last 8 that would drop his averages in the last 12 games significantly. I guess what I'm saying is yeah he was alright for the last 8 games. He was also ok for a stretch in late Dec/early Jan. But he was bad in between then. His first four games in a Husker uniform he averaged 7.0 ppg and 6.0 rpg. To me he was up and down and then up and then down and then up again. I am hopeful he makes huge strides next year, but I haven't seen enough to think he'll play more than 10 mpg off the bench just yet.
