Dang. Would’ve liked to keep him. Hopefully it means Walkers back for sure.

Also worth noting that we are still 2 over the limit. We probably know on some guys but still have to wait to see what spots are available.

I agree that we probably won’t be doing to much recruiting (or seeing movement on it) for the next few weeks. hopefully we have at least one guy lined up so when Gates leaves we are still down just one guy.

I was hoping we would've explored it. A true point with Big 10 experience.

I go back and forth. We need another ball handler. He's tough, experienced and athletic. Things we lack quite a bit of. He also has a unique ability to make a pretty dumb/cheap play or two each game. Part of me wants to see McPherson in his role. The other part of me, wants to have both for insurance.

Sounds like Griesell’s N

The biggest thing that I see with that group is that, at least on the surface, your supporting cast is much strong and seemingly much more able and willing to do the little things. Each of Hoiberg's 3 years, we've had 2-3 pretty good players. But the drop off from those top 2-3 to the rest of the group is stark. Alongside those 2-3, we're trotting out 2-3 guys that aren't D1 players and 2-3 that should be low D1 players. That goes without saying we've had no size or depth on the interior which impacts just about everything, especially in the Big 10.

Oversight on my part

Agreed

Ramel Lloyd has removed his Nebraska content from social media

Nothing official but I think everyone expects him too.

I believe he would’ve

Technically doesn’t. He’s banking on a medical redshirt waiver

Better than Creighton

The tweet he sent a few days ago also seemed interesting. Certainly seems like a goodbye.

Nothing wrong with that

I agree. But I think/hope we can find that in players that are multi-faceted and not just solely out there for shooting. Tominaga basically only brings shooting to the table. And he really wasn't all the good at that. If you can't help out elsewhere, you need to be better than what he was at that skill.

Correct. We have needs to fill, which means we need to have open spots. Keisei's ceiling is lower than basically everyone else that is returning.

That's fair. I guess I view that 8-9 spot as being part of the regular rotation. 10-13 is what I view as not regular minutes. I guess I look at it in that we already have a guy in Wilcher who kind of fills the roll of the shooter and a guy like Lawrence coming in who is supposedly known for his shooting ability. Becomes a scenario of filling holes and needing spots. I don't think we have to boot him if spots open up elsewhere. Just saying if someone is going to go....he's the first guy on the list for me.

I guess I just don't see how he is in that 7-9 range AND us improve dramatically as a team. Especially without seeing who else we add.

It would. I'd be open to taking two points as well if McPherson can't play it. Take a younger guy along with a ready made guy for next year.

He wasn't our issue. But he doesn't fix our issues either. And we know there is going to be attrition. So we may as well hope it comes from someone that is relatively easily replaceable. It's not personal...but spots may be at a premium.

Virtually everyone does. Going to the portal isn't a bad thing. It's the volume of it at this point. Adding 1-2 pieces to fill enhance your roster/fill needs is perfectly fine. We do need to end the cycle of taking 5 transfers to fill spots each year. I've accepted that Bryce, Trey and Lat are gone. I'm hoping Tominaga is too. After that...I hope everyone stays for consistency and we can fill in 2 spots with transfers.

That definitely puts Indiana in.
