I just don't think the parents have much room to push their weight anymore with any coach now that Lanie is running out of eligibility. Once she lands at some other school she'd better stay there, every move that they think is in her best interest from there on out, will hinder her chances of playing what she has left now eligibility wise. I don't think right now they have any plans on sending her to DII.

Definitely, the beef before was with Yori not Coach Williams and her staff. I'm hearing some contact may have already been made but nothing substantial. The Page's number one goal is that they're looking for a team that Lanie would get ample playing time and right now Nebraska offers as much as any other team willing to take her on. Plus the fact they could watch her play relatively easily.

Great game to be at. Even though I got a little chilly sitting out there last night Jake's pitching kept me warm enough to make it through. It seem's as though if we can get a little movement on our pitches they have a hard time hitting it squarely. When there were fastballs right down the middle they connected with good swings but most were hit where they didn't do too much damage.

She will go some where, where the first thing dad will inquire with the new school is that they apply for a waiver for her to play immediately since she has already used her redshirt year. She used her redshirt season to recover from surgery to repair a torn labrum in her shoulder she suffered in high school. So she's sitting now with three years to play three years. Rumor had it when dad hauled big sister Kaylee back home he also asked for Lanie's release from her scholarship from the Huskers. A stunt that Lanie didn't really agree with as she had mixed thoughts about wanting to leave NU. Lanie is good friends with Rachel Blackburn, and I'll have to admit with those two running the show underneath is really appealing to me. My guess is that the Page's will contact the Huskers about the possibility about coming back here since it's so close to home. And my guess is Coach Williams and staff would listen. The Page's know If she would receive a waiver to play next season she would get a lot more playing time here than what she got last season and most likely more than any other school they look at. But the question is are putting up with Dad's shenanigans should they happen again be worth it? Should she choose to loose a year of eligibility by staying in conference she would most likely end up at Kansas, Texas Tech or Okie State before Lincoln though. Don't count out Missouri or Iowa either.

Messages from Rusty on the progress of his wife!

You're right huskerchode for some reason I had him as our trainer on my mind.

Rusty's got his hands full due to his wife's health and he needs to be with her and his kids as they battle this dreadful disease.

Tim McCoy, Tory McCoy's dad speaks out. http://www.news-gazette.com/sports/prep-sports/girls-basketball/2017-04-05/update-illini-not-among-mccoys-options.html Not to sure how many teams want a 6'4 kid playing on the perimeter.

I can't recall that she had any interest from Nebraska, redsteve. When she signed with OSU in 2015 she said she also considered Baylor, Illinois, Marquette, South Carolina and Tennesse. It's sort of questionable that she would transfer after all the playing time she received as a freshman last season especially with what OSU had coming back from the year previous. Some school is going to get a fairly good big girl in a few weeks. McCoy came off the bench and played 24 minutes against NU last February and scored 9 points and grabbed 6 rebounds. Kiara Lewis on the other hand started for O-State in half their games. One of her starts for OSU came against the Huskers when we played them last February also and scored 8 points. I don't believe right now anyway that homesickness played a part in either of these two transfers.

http://www.umterps.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=29700&ATCLID=211546991 Big chunk of good players leaving Maryland. Very interesting that the B1G Freshman of the year Slocum and Gillespie asked for a transfer. Unless homesickness came into play for Slocum. She is originally from Boise Idaho. My guess she'll end up somewhere in the northwest. Gillespie was figured into the starting line-up by some next year so that's sort of strange twist too. She's from Connecticut. Staiti mentioned she is somewhat homesick. She didn't see that much playing time. She's from Georgia.

I'm guessing by now Indiana is starting to wonder just who asked the Huskers to join the B1G. At least this sports season anyway. And they're probably hoping not to meet up with the Huskers in any post season spring tourney's. Lot's of "L"s from the Huskers going into the losing columns for the Hoosiers this past sports season particularly in football, men's basketball, women's basketball, both volleyball games, wrestling, soccer. The spring season isn't quite over yet so the possibility that the Huskers could still inflict more damage to their records still loom's.

Going into the top of the seventh Huskers lead it 2-1. Matt Waldron comes in to clean up the mess in the bottom of the 6th. Now it's 3-1 on a homer by Jake Scheppenbach! Good way to respond after the Hoosiers get one in the sixth.

Hearing he has Trump University paraphernalia plastered all over his bedroom walls too.

Good game to watch! Really liked how the Huskers responded against the sidewinder after the Hoosiers tied it up in the bottom of the 7th. Props to Hohensee for keeping the game close despite being some what erratic on his pitches at times.

Good for her! She turned down a volleyball scholarship to Ohio State when she chose to play for the Huskers! Hope she makes it. I see where a current volleyball player has decided to transfer to UMKC so they could find room for her.

Quite a few of us did. I actually believed it was a for long conclusion that she would announce this. I was hoping at first it was just a rumor and that Coach Williams could get her to buy in, get in shape and start to play at a top level. The part of the rumor I despised the most was that during the season she was contacting other programs about transferring and gauging the interest they had in her. Channel 10/11 confirmed this rumor last night. I'll admit it was extremely hard watching her play with that rumor of what she was doing in the back of my mind. The main reason I very seldom gave her game props in game day threads and was reluctant to post in this thread. I'm actually glad that we'll never have to look up at the northeast wall at PBA and see her number up there with the likes of Ivy, Jennings, Griffin, Moore, Hooper or who ever else that might get put up there. I also have my fingers crossed that this will light a fire under the coaching staff to go out there and prove they can get us back to being a consistent top 10-20 team. Nebraska is still a head coaches dream job even with the lull we've hit these past couple of seasons. There's to much fan support, budget support and great facilities to let this program slip more into mediocrity.

As of March 26th Michigan is the only B1G team left standing in the post season. OSU and Maryland's run in the NCAA tourney came to an end this past weekend and Iowa and Indiana's WNIT run came to and end today. Michigan is in the final four of the WNIT and plays Villanova Wednesday.

Will be interresting to see if cinderella #12 seed Quinnipiac can continue the run they're on. I'm thinking it probably comes to an end this afternoon when they go up against #1 seed South Carolina. The Florida St/Oregon St game will be an good game to watch too. the lone B1G participant Maryland is playing now and leading Oregon in the first quarter.

For those interested in the WNIT tourney Indiana, Michigan and Iowa from the B1G are all in the Elite 8 of that tournament. Michigan goes up against a team the Huskers went up against last season in Virginia Tech tomorrow, as does Iowa who plays Wazzou Sunday. Indiana plays Villanova also on Sunday.

There's truly like 50 people in the arena at the Texas - Stanford game in Lexington KY. unbelievable!

Major props go out to these four studious Huskers! Four Nebraska women's basketball student-athletes were honored for their achievements on the court and in the classroom by capturing Academic All-Big Ten accolades on March 22. Allie Havers, Jasmine Cincore, Emily Wood and Maddie Simon all represented the Huskers on the conference's winter academic honor team. They were among 61 women's basketball players across the 14 Big Ten schools to claim awards. Overall, the Big Ten recognized 787 student-athletes competing in conference winter sports. To be eligible for Academic All-Big Ten selection, student-athletes must be letterwinners who are in at least their second academic year at their institution and carry a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher. Havers, a 6-5 center and psychology major from Mattawan, Mich., earned the third Academic All-Big Ten award of her career. On the court, she started all 29 games for the Huskers and averaged 6.9 points and 5.3 rebounds per game in 2016-17. Cincore, a 5-10 guard from Arlington, Tenn., who is majoring in advertising and public relations at Nebraska, claimed her second straight Academic All-Big Ten honor. Cincore joined Havers in Nebraska's starting five for all 29 games in 2016-17, averaging 6.7 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists. Wood, a 5-5 guard from Salina, Kan., appeared in all 29 games for the Huskers as a junior. The management major carries better than a 3.9 GPA and was a CoSIDA Academic All-America nominee for the Huskers in 2017. She is on track to earn her degree in just three years and plans to attend graduate school at Nebraska while completing her eligibility as a senior in 2017-18. Wood averaged 2.1 points per game while earning her second straight spot on the Academic All-Big Ten team. She was also a Big Ten Distinguished Scholar in 2016. Simon, a 6-2 forward/guard from Lincoln, Neb., earned her first Academic All-Big Ten award. The sophomore communication studies major was also a CoSIDA Academic All-America nominee in 2017. She appeared in all 29 games and averaged 4.1 points and 2.3 rebounds per game while transitioning from the guard to forward spot in 2016-17. http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/big10/genrel/auto_pdf/2016-17/misc_non_event/2017_Winter_Academic_AllB1g.pdf

Just out of curiously I looked up the D-1 school in Omaha to see how many Omaha metro players they had on their roster this past season and much to the dismay of Darryl they 15 players on their roster and only had 1 player from Omaha, Brianna Rollerson and she was hurt much of her time so she didn't get to see the court as much as she would have liked. They also had Lauren Works from Lincoln Southwest, and the other Nebraska kid listed on their roster was the Kissinger girl from Class C-1 Minden that transferred last season from Illinois. Creighton, by the way had 6 kids on their roster from Minnesota. Omaha the other D-1 team in Omaha had 14 players on their roster and only 2 representing the great state of Nebraska. 1 from the Omaha metro Jay Bridgeman and the other is Mikeala Shaw from Class C-2 Sandy Creek. Four from Missouri.
