Nebraska men's basketball has its second transfer addition of the 2023 cycle — Charlotte guard Brice Williams. https://omaha.com/sports/huskers/mens-basketball/charlotte-guard-brice-williams-transfers-to-nebraska-mens-basketball/article_323c1f6e-fbe6-5514-b8dd-a7d620abec4b.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_Omaha_World-Herald_Huskers

Excellent...now I am still waiting on the 2nd.

Let's see how today plays out...

That sucked. Nothing else.

Amen!

All I can say is that Coach is now on a plane heading to Chicago for a coaches against cancer event. Before he boarded...

Oh man, not good.

Heard a rumor...heard he is N.

Yes indeed. Power Memorial.

I will humbly state that her dad Andy is very good coach of post play and moves. He spent time as a college coach and knows his way around the paint. Just saying...

On a spike?

I hope Quaran sticks around. I liked his high school tapes and he has since gotten bigger and stronger. We'd heard good things about him before his latest injury. The issue, certainly availability and injury history. Here is the deal though. If Fred had told him that he no longer was in our plans; wouldn't he have already said goodbye? I would think so. And please correct me if I am wrong; but a player cannot "shop around" without entering the portal, correct? Otherwise it could be construed as tampering.

Big day today and a big weekend. Could we see two players making this a great weekend???

Nice series win.

For those needing a player update https://huskerextra.com/news/basketball/womans-basketball/jaz-shelley-was-leaning-toward-not-returning-to-nebraska-heres-what-changed-her-mind/article_3434500e-d64b-11ed-81a7-e7b3f4f07fb0.html

I join everyone hoping and wishing for information. But that information really can't flow from the staff. Staff members cannot comment on a player until she is signed. Hey, maybe things/rules have changed, and I'm completely wrong; but I don't believe the information bottleneck is on Amy or the staff. Information on football or men's basketball typically comes from recruiting sites, twitter or media members that follow recruits. That information is then relayed to the public. Yeah, I'm sure there are well placed leaks. So my question is what recruiting sites report on our women's teams? Those sites should be filling us with information we seek.

Thanks for the education boss.

I was reacting to the following "Seems like Hugley is ours IF we want him."

Just a humble thought/question. Why would we reach out and "recruit" a player without first doing our due diligence; at least in part? Money and time is spent, and why incur either cost if you are not going to sign him?

Nevermind...

https://www.dailynebraskan.com/sports/nebraska-men-s-basketball-transfer-portal-overview/article_53d50a00-d3ff-11ed-99fc-0bc4b24a3387.html Good overview [if accurate] of our portal contacts, needs and priorities.

Certainly different than Sam G.

From an article in today's LJS: There has been consistent contact between Nebraska and Gonzaga transfer Hunter Sallis, as well, according to a source, though Sallis’ father, Trevis, expected to take at least this week to sort through options. Hunter Sallis had limited offensive opportunities with the Bulldogs but emerged as a defensive stopper this season. With eight known returnees and one 2023 high school signee — IMG Academy forward Eli Rice — NU has four scholarships available. Hoiberg said in a mid-March interview that Nebraska would add at least two — a versatile center and a point guard — and assess from there, adjusting as needed to Tominaga’s decision-making and portal availability.

Yeah... Another thing to fret about is how many hole will need to be filled. Meaning, are we cock-sure there won't be further exodus from our team? Arguably, at this point, we need two bigs, at least one point guard, and one or two combo or off-guards and possibly another wing. When you see other teams successfully plucking "dudes" from the portal, many fans fear losing any traction that we gained last year.

We are swinging and missing quite a bit. I am anxiously awaiting a home run.
