Great question! Did Fred feel he wasn't worth it (NIL wise) and would rather use the money for Essegian and Griffiths with additional seasons to play? Was CJ gone regardless? Did aTm offer more & we (Fred/1890) didn't want to beat it? Wilcher was a hair under 50% from 3 against NCAA tournament teams last year. 👀 That's some unreal shit if you ask me.
Ya, probably should've kept ppg by players out of that response & put it on its own.
I'll never understand taking Worster as early as we did, with Ulis on the roster. Worster plays better defense, but they're the same offensively (no outside game) while Ulis is quicker & Worster more physical (boards). 2 PG's that can't shoot, and are both seniors spells doom. If Worster was a sophomore and Fred thought he could correct his shot, that would make more sense to me.
I'm of the belief Fred has the resources to put together a top half (7-11) roster year in and year out. Last season was proof, and so was this season before we melted down...
3-7 v teams under .500 in conference is why this team isn't dancing; 3 wins are Ohio State, Northwestern & Washington with the 7 losses to Ohio State, Rutgers (PBA), Ioa x2 (1 PBA), Minnesota (PBA), USC (PBA) & Pedo State. If that's because of NIL, then we should throw in the towel now & pay someone $2M to run the program. Put the NIL towards wrestling and baseball.
Do you, or anyone for this discussion, believe Nebraska has gone backwards in expenses/resources for Hoiberg in the last 3 seasons?
