I wonder if he is any relation to Mick Cronin? Not a very common last name.

Think how good Kevin would have been with this supporting cast

Anyone see the irony with TGF going to DePaul instead of us?

The formula is quite simple. Take a player’s lifetime free throw percentage, subtract 20%, and that is what they will shoot in a Husker uniform.

Didn’t expect to see this when I logged in. Wow.

i assume you mean Ryan Kalkbrenner (or something like that). He is going to be a good one....very good hands for a 7 footer. He was a top 100 kid from most recruiting services. Oleg has a chance to be pretty good from the little bit I have seen....I am trusting Fred and company on this one.

One of them absolutely had to go. No way he could work with McDermott after the plantation fiasco. From the account I heard he was the most offended person in that locker room. Rebuilding his coaching staff and filling some open schollies while trying to navigate this....Mac has a mess on his hands.

I saw Isaiah Pooh Bear Chandler is transferring from Wichita to Omaha. I have no clue how to link to IG on a phone. Feels like he has been around forever. good for the Mavs https://www.instagram.com/p/CNupfzhBCmU/?igshid=12r0kvdkwwpos alright...trying to learn new things to make my teenage daughters proud. Did it work?

And that is officially the whole starting lineup gone.

The sad part is I don’t think McDermott is a racist at all. He just made the mother of all slip ups in the day and age we are in. I am pretty sure he was trying to say “everyone needs to stay in the reservation” but that one didn’t age well either! Regardless, the verbal gaffe has put a major hole in the side of their ship and they are taking on water. Ty Ty likely would have been a day one starter like Bryce should be for us. With the other kids leaving...they almost look like the position we were in at the start of last year.

What that analogy means is stuff you wish for never happens so that hand is empty. $hit happens all the time. Full hand.

i have heard from people close to Creighton that for two of the guys leaving it was a significant factor.

Jefferson declared for the NBA draft last week and won’t be returning. I heard Ballock is not returning for a 5th year but haven’t seen that in print. Being that Creighton basically played 6 guys in the NCAA’s when they tightened their rotation I would expect next year will be a rebuilding year for the Jays.

I think beating Creighton should be on the list with their whole starting lineup leaving. Maybe not expect to win but you couldn’t ask for a better situation for us.

Royce White 2.0 (minus the fear of flying)

i would expect everyone feels that way at this point. We have a core of returning players and what appears to be a strong recruiting class coming in. It would be very disappointing to not take a sizable step forward, especially with what appears to be a much less settled Big Ten next year.

I am having a hard time pegging next year’s starters. To me I see Walker as a lock at the 5, and some combination of the younger McGowens, Wilcher and Tominaga and the 2&3. If Lat can shoot like many of us hope I could see him getting the start at the 4. If Banton looks like pre-covid Banton, I could then see him starting at PG. If Lat doesn’t find his groove, I could see Banton at the 4 as a point forward and Trey at the PG slot, which I am not crazy about. Trey could/should be our defensive stopper. I like him better as a sixth man bringing his crazy energy and athleticism off the bench to provide a spark. I don’t see Kobe as a starter; he is an undersized combo guard in my mind but can definitely help with his shooting. I think we will be much more talented but I am a little concerned about who facilitates the offense, especially in the high pressure situations.

That other dude might be 6’8”. Okay, maybe not

As a formerly married guy, that scenario never happened.

Juwan Howard is what I wished Erstad would have been for our baseball team.

I was referring to his 247 scout by Jerry Meyer from his high school profile. 95% defensive efficiency would indicate a pretty elite defender (albeit in a small sample set of minutes) and is polar opposite of his high school scout. It will be interesting to see what the real deal is. I really hope he is eligible right away because he looks like a serious scorer. I read that in his highschool playoffs he drilled three 25+ foot threes in a row to rally his team from 11 down. Him, Bryce and Keisei could totally change the look of our team.

from the film I have seen it is lateral quickness. He is going to get beat off the dribble by quick guys. I think we are getting the types of big guys who can help clean that up.

I think he is a much better fit here, and apparently so does he! The scout is he is a below average defender right now. That will kill your playing time with certain coaches. I do not think that is a deal breaker with Fred if you can score.

Love this get. Now we have, at least on paper, three serious three point threats coming in. We badly need guys who can stroke it. Was already a great group coming in....and now we add another big piece. Love it!

I really, really like this kid. Would be an amazing get. I think he fits very well for what we are trying to do.
