Tonight Markowski became the 6th Husker to record 1,000 rebounds. And had another double-double withy 26pts and 12 rebounds. Prince had a great game with 20pts and 6 rebounds. But the supporting cast just had issues providing the 3rd needed scoring effort (and rebounds) to make up for loss of Potts. Yes, to be expected probably. Overall a great effort from Nebraska. Just not quite enough at the end. Like someone else said...have to defend the Creighton 3. On another note, tonight been watching the NU's men's team beat the Creighton men. Made them look bad. Hoiberg had his guys ready. A nice defensive scheme that worked really well.

Rimdal is shooting about 50% three's so far this season. There's your leading candidate for shooting guard. She's pretty sure handed overall. Petrie really has matured from last year. Is way more comfortable on the floor. Real concerned about Potts. Sloppy sloppy sloppy tonight.

Games on BTN+ at 1:00 (at home) Apparently Prince has twisted her ankle. Walking around in a boot. Will she play today ?

Watched the season opening game last night (11-4-24) between South Carolina-Michigan. It was a close game all the way. Impressed with the newest Michigan team. Looks like a they fielded a new and different roster. Pretty aggressive and competitive. Will be tough in the B1G On the other hand S Carolina has a few changes too, and don't look so dominate, but it's very early in the season.

Really like how Bozan... is coming around and getting in the flow. She's going to be a good one. Good basic skills, good hands, and a good shooter to boot. Pretty sure Markowski just set the NU women's basketball all time record for double-doubles. Have lots of guards that will contribute. Deeper than we've been at the back court ...have 4 or 5 that could possibly start. The point spot is pretty obvious, just who will be the shooting guard, etc Yep, kind of ugly and sloppy at times, but we're doing what needs to be done for the time being. Got to get the lineup decided fairly quickly. The Creighton game is on the horizon.

Saw the team at the UCLA game. Not everyone was there, but Prince (gray sweatshirt), Pertri, Bozan, maybe Kennadi W, Hargrove, and others.

Not really very concerned on who started at this point. This was more like a scrimmage. This is a much different team from last year. We have 4 or so from last that will probably start, but the new players appear to be contributors down the road. Amy's just sorting things out and getting everyone on the floor to see who can do what....well. If we do that much mixing of players, some times a little confusion shows up. The players you might expect to be ready to go...were. Rimdal may well be a frequent contributor, looked to be in control of what she was doing. No deer in the eyes look. She understands the speed of the game. Hargrove isn't afraid to mix it up. She just needs more time to learn her roll. Prince will be a great floor general. We had a ton of steals. A good sign. All in all we started the season well. Watched a replay. Sure was nice to see Weidner give it a go finally. Good for her. Good stuff.

The 2024-25 Season finally begins Sunday ! Doane at 6 PM, at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Can be watched on B1G + (Exhibition game) Then Monday, November 4th 12:00 noon with Omaha (UNebr.), also at home. See on B1G+

My nephew when playing for the 8th grade Gladiator club basketball, was recruited by Omaha Creighton to play freshman basket ball (about 30 years ago.) He said no and went to his "home" school, Westside.... and started for them. Recruiting was very rare then, but has become much the norm everywhere these days. I coached on several club teams later, mostly baseball, and about the 7th and 8th grade "people" were floating around watching players games and taking notes.

Didn't used to be able to transfer to anywhere you wanted to go. It was very restricted. You played in your school district, where you lived. Places like Omaha Prep have pretty much always recruited outside of a district (the whole city of Omaha was their district) But now.....the recruiting (and transferring) by high school teams (Omaha in particular) is out of control....actually there is nearly no control. Year to year, a player will make a transfer to other schools. In Nebraska. All to win the state championship, of improve their chances of being seen by college recruiters. Natural "Parity" if there is such a thing in high school, is very hard to accomplish with all the talent no longer spread out to all the districts. It's up to the NSAA to regulate. But they don't seem to be very interested.....in some other issues too.

23 is a decent place to start for us. We might have a lot of the necessary pieces. Hopefully the squad can jell fairly quickly. The early preseason games will help the process probably, getting some newbies some time on the floor too. We should be good around the basket with Markowski, Potter and maybe 2 more good prospects. Several good guards of course. The B1G has several teams listed, but not very high as a whole. No Iowa ? They've really got lots of work to do. New coach, lost not just Clark, but some other very good experienced players too. Getting closer to game time. Won't be long now.

Another one......
