Girls played great D today! Utah could hardly set up their offense. Hailie held their post player and leading scorer to 6 pts (was averaging 25 thru two games). We forced them to settle for 18 three pt attempts, because our guards shut off all dribbling and penetration. While the Defense is close to being ready for B1G play..... Offense needs some work still. Overall we missed lots of easy layups and could've scored close to 80 pts. That being said, Connie has to be happy with both games this week. Main things to work on are continue to establish depth and get more consistency with our guards. GBR

National signing day for our class of 2015 is this Weds Nov 12th!

I was not at the first exhibition so I was glad I could see the new faces in action yesterday. The Huskers did not shoot very well especially from deep but we rebounded well against a team with a lot of size on the interior. Concordia had the size of a B1G squad but not the speed, which is where we took advantage. We got out on the fastbreak a bunch in the first half which was fun to see Tee push the ball up the floor and we had some good finishes around the basket on some nifty passes I thought Emily and Rachel looked good, both scoring in double digits. Great job on the boards for Emily who held her own against the Bears bigs. Brandi looks like she had a good offseason and is going to be a major contributor. I was most looking forward to seeing who who our first 4 off the bench would be and who is going to help us this year. I was really happy to see Allie & Natalie get good minutes and play well. It was nice to see Allie knock down some shots from the block and another on the baseline from about 12 feet. Sounds like Havers confidence is getting better each game. Natalie did some good things too and played 21 mins. She reminds me of Lindsay Moore out there. I think the next 2 off the bench were Anya and Kaylee. Both looked a little nervous with Kaylee getting 4 fouls in 8 minutes and air balling a 3. I think all Anyas points were free throws but she hung tough in there. I wasnt expecting her to shoot two 3 pointers but she did. I think Chandler is going to make her way into the top 8 player rotation when she is healthy. I believe she said she is not experiencing pain anymore in the foot and should be practicing soon. Lastly Connie said in her post game comments that she will probably use a bunch of different lineups this year depending on the opponent. Looking forward to two games this weekend and seeing some more action. GBR!

Yes Fastbreaker all 4 girls were present and sat next to each other. They all went into locker room after the game. It was great to see all them together! Reportedly, Rachel tripped and fell at home and has a small break in her hand. Not expecting to miss too much time from her senior year. Glad surgery went well for her

Jensen was not there ^

I'll be at the NIKE tournament of champions in Chicago in July. I'll be sure to watch all the future huskers and report back to you all

http://espn.go.com/high-school/girls-basketball/recruiting/school/_/id/158/class/2015 ESPNW also shows each girls rank by position in their class which I think is cool Jess- #1 Forward Lanie- #8 Wing Rachel- #10 Post Maddie- #16 guard

Didn't Simon play a lot of point at Pius? Connie likes tall points and guards who can play the 1-3. I haven't heard much on where they project Simon to play but I thought some point was mentioned; perhaps Row 6 can comment on this. This is correct. Connie wants tall, athletic guards who can run the floor and play the 1-3 positions. Any of the 3 guards can push the ball or run the secondary break offense. Norm Peterson the 2 & 3 spots are interchangeable on offense with the bodies we have coming in. To answer your question Maddie plays point guard on her summer AAU team also but was recruited to play wing for NU. She does not have the post game of an Emily Cady type

Good point

We have 4 commits now for 2015 with the addition of Blackburn and Page to go with Simon and Shepard. Blackburn obviously is a post, Shepard projects as a versatile power forward and Simon and L. Page are likely wings at the 2 or 3 spots. All 4 of them are at least 6 feet 2 which is exciting to have so many long and athletic girls. I think we'll be looking for a point guard, seems like things will be slim at PG after Theriot is gone. All I can think of is Romeo being the only backup. We will need more depth at PG to get the ball to the scorers.

That is hilarious Huskerchode. Truly an unforgettable hairstyle on that girl

No, I'm asking if Shepard could be in the 7 player rotationon UConn's team. Jess is good but I think we need to realize that Uconn probably has redshirts and bench players who could have played 20+ min per game for NU this year. Do we actually know if UConn or Geno has ever reached out to her?

I agree 100%. Depth was an issue this year, although we got great minutes and contribution from our top 7 players. After watching Texas A&M v Uconn I can tell you that we need to get deeper and stronger inside (BYU game comes to mind) to get to the next level.

Here's a fun question: Could the Kansas super state team beat the Nebraska super staters of Shepard, Ibis, Simon, Brown & White?

Dan Lesoing is a jerk. His blowups were getting old and he curses at his players. I think the parents finally had enough. I probably know too much on the subject but I'll leave it at that
