He sort of seems to be that hard nosed gritty type that the home team loves and everyone else can't stand him. Perhaps he will somehow have a six year career here.

Man, at first I thought you meant women's basketball

Wow. Nice get. What a great week. Welcome to the real land of red young man!

One thought to the "point guard" debate. So much depends upon the offense being run. In Fred's offense it does not appear necessary to have the prototypical point guard. An initiator of the offense is not an individual responsibility. Rather it is predicated upon numerous factors and situations. I guess the biggest roles of a PG is being the eyes, ears and voice of the coach on the floor. A genuine leader so-to-speak. To me Verge and Mack were failures in that role, where players like Sam and Jeter were more successful. So long story short, Sallis could be successful. QM and Ramel could be successful as well...time will tell. And oh yeah, if we worry about breaking a press; a dribbling point guard, flittering through a press is somewhat archaic. A point forward (such as Walker or Pike) seems more successful, or at least it has worked best for us. Or, schematically busting a press is back breaking to a pressing team. Seems like Fred knows what he wants, and I hope he finds the right mix.

I'm sure hoping and praying you are wrong. This is a solid young man with outstanding work ethic. We shall see.

Good for him!

I also am aware that about 15 players from our football roster will soon be looking to play elsewhere. Perhaps one or more of them can play basketball at a high level

Ramel is a point guard. Born and bred to do so. But yeah, he certainly has the body of an off guard or wing. Sort of like Sam G. So right now we have Ramel and Quaron as our two point guards. One more would be good. http://naturalstatesports.com/mbb-recruiting-getting-to-know-ramel-lloyd-jr/

The only player not capable of playing in the "five out" or open post offense is Blaise. Sort of the same as this past year.

Ummm...

Untuckit or bucket

Hmm. Wonder who his source was???

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???
