He’s not playing hoops here

2 of our 3 best ball handlers weren’t very good. That’s the bigger issue.

Makes sense. Thought it was reported or rumored elsewhere that he was getting $2 million offers during the season before he ever even hit the portal.

From Omaha too

Yes Please

Ideally they would've been tampering since December and not just shooting from the hip now.

William Kyle to Syracuse

Kyle to Syracuse

I’d also say you overspend on a guy who checks more then one box off our needs list.

ok

While I agree....he brings more to the table than Berke does offensively. Sutton is uber athletic and can get to the rim. While Sutton shot 'more' 3s than Berke did....a lot of that was because of games played. Berke shot nearly 50% of his shots from outside the arc. Sutton was about 20%.

A. That's more than anyone else we have will give us (sans mast). B. I'd bet he gives us more than 9.45 and 3.95 next year.

He's a far better scorer and all around player than Sandfort and far more athletic than Fidler.

I agree. I'm glad we are seemingly at least exploring it. He checks a lot more boxes for us than Sandfort...so if we're going to spend...he's the one to do it on.

Per Christopherson....Nebraska has reached out to Sutton

While true, when you actually guys who can actually defend 1 on 1, you’re probably more willing to at least explore other wise.

To be fair…..Berke and Meah shouldn’t have played together. but yes….Berke and Mast can plsy together. But you have absolutely zero bench up behind them. And while you’d have the size, you’re going to be extremely limited defensively and athletically. Finding a springy four to start next to Mast is ideal. Yes it means that Berke won’t start. But that doesn’t mean he won’t play and can’t be useful. He’d still play 20 to 25 minutes per game just like he did this year on a team with a much worse front court.

We don't need a back to the basket 5-man. We need an athletic post who can defend, alter shots and rebound. That doesn't mean they are the 5 or another center. If you have a legit defender in the post (we do not) than that gives you a lot more options in how you defend teams. You don't have to double down as much. It allows you to be much more honest defensively. Guy likes Kyle and Dak (using them since they are uber athletic, which we need and are local products) can play alongside Mast and/or Berke. They don't have to replace one or the other. And guys like those two...make the other two better as well. We've been one of the worst rebounding and least athletic front court teams in the conference for years and you don't think we should be focusing on that? Finding guards and wings hasn't been an issue for us and we already have a ton of them coming back/coming in. You can't say either about the front court.

I don't know our exact NIL situation....but if we give Berke and Meah a combined $1M+ last year....you sure as heck do it for Dak this year.

I think that most will still take 12-13. But in general...I agree....teams will take 2-3 'projects' each year that don't warrant anything more than a scholarship and those teams will hope for a lottery ticket. They'll condense their spending for the upper part of their roster.

A. McKewon is a dipshit B. Refer to A, expect the opposite.

White intrigues me more than Jackson too

Pay Sutton his asking price. He checks a ton of boxes.

Ulis/Brice/Frager/Gary/Berke would be real interesting to see

Be nice if the rules in football and basketball aligned so we can play the freshmen without burning their shirt
