Umm, regrettably my first reaction to this "big" is that he is almost the same size as Gavin Griffiths.

Amen. As of right this second, we are hurting for bigs. We may have been rejected by a couple bigs that we were publicly chasing (although that door is not yet fully closed); but I am guessing that Fred still has a few cards up his sleeves. It is likely worth it for us to wait and see.

MSU.

Yeah. Sort of a bummer. I initially did not think that was a fit. Izzo knows a heck of a lot more than me...so we shall see.

The lawyers and jury will sure have their work cut out for them. It does sort of look like the defendant's are all on the same page, so to speak.

From Coach Hurley. Has some relevance to the subject... https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRw2FLeP/ The disease of me...

Hmm.

In Tim Miles last season, he recruited Donavan Williams to Nebraska. Tim was let go and Fred came in. Williams then backed out of the scholarship offer, and headed to Okie State. He leveled a parting shot stating that the new coaching staff would rather bring in transfers rather than recruit freshmen; or verbiage close to that. Fred has continued to recruit high school; but as Williams stated, is relying heavily (almost exclusively) on transfers. No recruited freshman, by this staff, will graduate from Nebraska. Perhaps Sam (as a walk on) may be the first. Now, ask if I care, and my response is, not really. I want high character players, that are great basketball players, who win, and eventually do graduate. We are starting to see all of those boxes checked. But here is the question, unless they are a local player, why bother recruiting freshmen? Why invest in players that are only using us as a pit stop prior to moving on. Yes, secure that top level Nebraska high school senior. Ahem, or wait until they transfer and get him on the flip-flop Convince me that we should go after the primadonna's that come out of high schools and AAU programs that are misguided by handlers...rather then transfers that are a year or two more mature, perhaps have eaten a bit of humble pie and who we have film on, playing at a higher level. Sort of what we are doing right now. What are your thoughts?

Brice and Juwan are both unique, in that, they can easily transition into multiple roles. Ideally, Brice can line up as the SG and Juwan as the 3. The good news is that with the positionless "5-out" offense and non-traditional defense, all the players brought in so far, can play all over the court. My concern right now is securing two additional bigs. The bonus would be if they have that inside/outside ability. Coach Rhule loves to talk about training the football team so that they can play in the NFL. Similarly, Fred's style fits the big man mantra that seems to permeate the NBA. Meaning, the traditional post player has been left in the bygone era. Come to Nebraska and we will hone both your outside and inside game.

Sucks.

I personally believe we need two players in order for us to be a solid top 20 team. K. Williams is likely out for the year. So I would love to have a quick, annoying guard that can come in and wreck a bit of havoc on the opposing guards. Secondly, we need to find a replacement for Stewart/Mendalson. Petrie/Potts/Markowski/Coley are pretty solid; but securing a more intimidating post player for depth and toughness would be beneficial.
