I am puzzled, and not in a disrespectful manner.  I simply have never heard Morgan or anyone from our coaching staff state that he is coming to Nebraska in order to be a bench or role player.
I believe he is coming here with every intention of being a starter.  In fact, I hope and pray that every player we are bringing in has the character and skills to earn a starting job. 
The million dollar attribute though, is that they fight for a starting position; but mentally are capable of accepting and will thrive in whatever role is earned.

This dude appears to be that sixth or seventh man who is a specialist.   Sort of a CJ type of player.  The hope is that he can come in and light it up from three point line and provides a hard driven 15 to 16 minutes a game.  I may be totally off base; but that is my initial reaction.

...and we haven't even brought up Braden Frager yet.  I wonder how his surgery went?

No worries, I agree that is the mindset they should all have. I have to believe Fred was very upfront with him in that he wants to have at least a 3 man rotation at the 4/5 and he would probably be the one starting on the bench unless we miss our other targets. He only played like 23 minutes a game in ND so it will not be a shock for him. I think part of the reason we targeted him is him being open to that role.

If that's what his role would be here, like CJ, then he would be an upgrade. Just watch some film before you get too upset. I love CJ, but there's not one aspect of the game that he's better than Essegian at.  Don't trust Greg Gard and his offense that doesn't generate open looks. You'll see Essegian, Chucky and Storr's efficiency metrics all magically go up next year.

Per Washut: William Kyle canceled his visit to Iowa State. Still visiting Wake Forest Sunday-Monday, then back in Lincoln for spring game weekend. Nebraska staff visited him again earlier this week. 
 
Milicic decision coming as soon as this weekend. 

Not sure if #30 will be in the rafters, but I can't wait for the day when he comes back to be recognized 20 years from now and we get to all go bananas again. 

How would you feel if we got Milicic?

I suppose we know this for sure if Mast is actually here, able to play.   But it's doubtful he'll play.  The knee is a big problem and wasn't fixed by the December procedure.   Props to him for persisting and finishing the season.  I doubt we make the dance if he would have ended it mid-season.   I think the plan is for surgery, and the type that has him out 10-12 months.   He has a great doc, through Fred's connections.   But barring a surprise, you won't see him on court next fall. 

Seems like a good fit for Diop. Smaller conference. Bigger minutes.

Great burgers; but the smell and taste of Runza's make me sick...it is the cooked cabbage thing...🤢

The cost of bling! 
Great players come at a great monetary cost.  But there can also be a cost relating to team commraderie and chemistry.   
Player A may have a lot of talent and wants to be the main dude and get the highest number of shots; but it could isolate that player from the remainder of the team...and what you get, is what we had, the first couple years under Fred.
So it becomes a high pressure, highly important balancing act when we are building the team via the portal.
We seem to be getting the right type of players as we build our roster.  But if certain players want certain $$$ or guarantees, I assume they are advised to move on.
So when I see a player we seemed to want, move on to greener pastures, my initial reaction is angst. It then dawns on me that perhaps the coaches and administration likely are fully vetting the potential roster invitee, and perhaps decided independently or mutually, that Player A best play elsewhere.

Kyle
 
After those two, I am pretty flexible.  I would maybe flex towards youth/projects/specialists.
 

My father played on the 1956-57 freshman basketball team at NWU. Plainsmen forever.

Plus, he likely will find 10 to 20 lbs of muscle within the next 6 to 24 months.

I sort of look at it this way; Keisei's replacement is already on the roster.  His name is BRICE WILLIAMS.
