We are having a hell of a time in Omaha. We are not only missing, shoot, we cannot even get our foot in most doors. I was encouraged when I saw Bruce Chubick sitting with Coach Loenser the other day. One issue involved a Chubick Sr. player. We lost our foothold sometime during the Doc era, and totally slid off the mountain while Tim was in charge. It appears that Fred is starting to re-engage with Omaha coaches. If that happens, we may have a better opportunity on players like Robinson, the freshman starter for Westside. I guess time will tell (but that is one reason I was hoping for a strong push for Bahl).

I'm not sure given the relatively easy transfer rules.

He resembles one of our current players...if that helps.

Hmm. I wouldn't undersell his ability in that realm.

He chose the Hawkeyes over Big Ten foes Michigan State, Illinois, and Indiana, as well as Marquette. He enters the portal with two years of eligibility remaining.

It would be good for the seniors. It will give them the opportunity to provide a final push. But it isn't the big dance

Yes; he is her little brother.

I'm telling you, this kid can play here. He is athletic, he can shoot and he plays with fire in his belly. Not sure he is flippable; but he is certainly worthy of a looksee.

Heard a few things over the past seconds... * we will have a new floor next year. Yeah, the current one is only a year old. * we will have at least one new graduate manager next year. He will have a familiar name.

Possibly. When the right players surround that 1st teamer, it takes the pressure of having to be perfect to win. The pass for an open look shot is then made. The free throw at the end of the game is likely made, as the shooter is not worn out; having had to play 38 minutes every game. I'm not making light of your good observation; rather, I'm simply pointing out that our supporting cast simply was not strong or deep this year. That very well may be a byproduct of NIL $$$.

I've heard he gets more than our roster and coaches combined.

Quite the game. If Pius hits a decent percentage of their free throw, then they win the game going away...but...they didn't.

If Fred gets the sufficient NIL dollars, he will be fine and we will rue the days that this discussion took place.

Coach Loenser was at the arena today, taking in Class A games. He was sitting with ex-husker and current Central coach Bruce Chubick. Good to see.

Berke has a nice upside and certainly, with development, could be a good player for us...but; one issue HAS to be resolved. I'm not sure the best way to put it...oh okay...he is soft. It is a complaint I had about Meah and Berke all season. WAY TOO MUCH floor time (as in getting bumped to the floor). The drama cost us points, and honestly, likely bugged the crap out of the refs. Just saying...

I may be in the minority; but I thought his defense, rebounding an intensity increased as the year progressed. He lost his shot; however, and his scoring was inconsistent. One offensive area improved and that was his penetration, which often ended with a shot or decent pass.

Live by the portal, die by the portal. Our swing was a miss on most of the players. Meah - D Morgan - C Berke - C+ Connor- B- Goggles - F The lack of consistency, the lack of improvement/development, injuries, lack of intensity, lack of chemistry seemed glaringly obvious the last half-season.

Bottom line, we had a bad team on the floor. You can put lipstick on a pig; but it's still a pig!

Fix it...fix it now!

I am depressed, disgusted, embarrassed and mad. Not the way I would choose to spend a beautiful Sunday!!!

A lot of people didn't think Sam Hoiberg would ever play for the men's team. He likely is playing a bigger role than he should actually...but that is fodder for a different discussion. That said, I see Kennadi in a similar role as a leader, ball of energy and a glue type player. She may not have star power; but she will earn minutes.

Can you imagine Bobby Knight's reaction to some of the calls we are seeing, if he was the coach? I'm certainly not advocating that behavior; but the PBA likely would not have enough chairs in stock.
