I'd also be interested to hear this debated, you said that Roby playing NBA minutes is very important. How would you compare that to the impact of on court team success and particularly making the tournament in terms of the benefit it gives to recruiting. I would say that team success is more important because players want to play on good teams and figure the NBA scouts will think they're better if they make it to the big stage. A perfect example this year is Donte Divincenzo who wasn't in the top 30 on just about anyones big board until he had the huge championship game and suddenly his combine was great and he goes 17th in the draft. Obviously both go together and the opposite would be Kentucky where coach Cal basically has said "My job is to get kids to the NBA not to win" which is obviously not true since he limits the roles of his players so much. But anyway both team and individual future success go together I think for Nebraska team success matters more.

I am aware that there were a few errors in this list and on the pod. Should have done a little more research when thinking about 35 players over 7 years so I apologize. I was unfortunately 13 when Ray graduated and forgot that he played on the tournament team so retrospectively I would have moved him up significantly higher along with David Rivers and Ed Morrow Also would have moved Moses and Jacob Hammond down a bit. ?

I thought it would be interesting to take all of the of the former and current players who have been on the team for at least one year and played significant minutes since the start of the Tim Miles era. It took me about 30 minutes to make mine and was also the subject of Jake and I's discussion on the second episode of the Risky Roadz Podcast. We only released the 11-35 on this episode so I will hold my top ten but I'd be very interested to hear yours. I decided my ranking based on overall significance to the program in the case of former players and overall expected significance to the program by the end of their careers (taking into effect that we think some players may transfer or leave for any other reason). 11. Jordy Tshinmanga 12. Anton Gill 13. Thomas Allen 14. Leslee Smith 15 Benny Parker 16. Dylan Talley 17 .Duby Okeke 18. Michael Jacobson 19. Jack McVeigh 20. David Rivers 21. Ed Morrow 22. Moses Abraham 23. Ray Gallegos 24. Nana Akenten 25. Andre Almeida 26. Tanner, Borchardt 27. Mike Peltz 28. Thorir Thorbjarnason 29. Jake Hammond 30. Jeremiah Horne 31. Tarin Smith 32. Bakari Evelyn 33. Nick Fuller 34. Nathan Hawkins 35. Deverell Biggs For reference here's my top ten in random order. Andrew White III Terran Petteway Tai Webster Evan Taylor Shavon Shields Isaac Copeland James Palmer Isaiah Roby Glynn Watson Walter Pitchford And again the podcast can be found on itunes if you search Risky Roadz Pod. Excited to know what you think!

They would have been able to offer cousins what lance got instead. Even before that happened most people thought Lance was well over paid. The team has very few shooters which is the key to a LeBron offense it’s not going to be a great defensive team either though probably not bad. I would say that magic has done a suspect job best if you look at anything besides LeBron which wasn’t really Magic’s doing. The good thing is he hasn’t locked them up with long term deals but that’s the most obvious play in the book.

It is now active on the iTunes store you can find it by searching Risky Roadz Pod.

Hey guys we know it's the off season and there is little recruiting news or any news right now but there is no time like the present to start a new Nebraska Basketball podcast the Risky Roadz Pod. Jake and I are so excited to cover the team this year and discuss this upcoming season for your enjoyment. In episode 1 we get right down to business and discuss what we saw from the team last year and how we think it will translate to this year. The 1st episode can already be found through this link to our twitter page @RiskyRoadzPod and will hopefully shortly be approved by iTunes. We also have an instagram @riskyroadzpod if you would like to give that a follow. We would love any feedback or mailbag questions for future episodes! Thanks so much guys hope you enjoy it.

I studied this significantly during the break between the tournament in the selection committee and did not come to that conclusion at all. To me it seemed like every team in a major conference even on a down year with an RPI that was around where ours was good have a good chance of making the tournament in years past. And I don’t know why a lot of our wins which were against what would be considered tier 2 or tier 3 opponents in the system or not quality wins when we racked them up like we did. The way I do admit we absolutely sucked on the road last year which definitely cost us.

I think this was the problem last year. Had we known teams like Oklahoma would make it in over us because of SOS we would have played a very difficult SOS last year. Thats obvious this year and as a fan this is great we will benefit from playing tons of fun games against great opponents next year. We were just unfortunate that the rules changed a lot in a year where we happened to have a weak schedule because the conference was down. Its just frustrating that the commities priorities when picking teams were only made clear when they picked the teams that made it not when we were scheduling half a year previous. If the system stays consistant then I'm all for it but it seems to not always do so.

Who’s transferring

Nu 66 MSU 60

Do we know when the game will be

What I’m getting from these articles is that he never played this year is that right? If not what we’re his ppg last year.

We have never proved that we can play well on the road it might be that simple.

Nu 70 Mich 63 1 win

Does this mean that MSG is bad for shooting that wouldn't be terrible for us right?

We would be the team within the top 5 highest rpi to ever get into the tourney if we lose to Iowa. In the first round

Yeah, my bad looks like it would this could really suck.

Does anyone know when the last time we made it to a conference semis was. Seems like it’s been at least a decade

Didn’t help that we were up 17 by halftime a closer game would have been better for the crowd

This can not happen they are a tier 1 win no matter what I’ve spend some time on rpi wizard

I’m going to go with something quite likely and say Thor won’t be here senior year would love it if he stays but don’t think it’ll happen

Nu 65 PSU 70

Do we need to have a one more year chant for Palmer when he’s at the line? Students?

And Texas wins by one how unlucky can we possibly get

Won't this hurt Va Tech as much as it will help Louisville Im not sure why either way will help or hurt us
