They are likely going to offer him and sign him to a multi year NIL deal. So it would protect us because if he comes in and doesn’t play he’s not going to go somewhere else because he won’t be worth as much on the open market as we are paying him.

Nebraska basketball promotes Luca Virgilio as new General Manager​

Nebraska basketball promotes Luca Virgilio as new General Manager​

The landscape of college athletics is evolving rapidly in the new era of NIL, revenue sharing, and the transfer portal. As a result, schools have searched for new, creative ways to stay at the forefront of the times.

An increasingly common example is the hiring of a full-time general manager by programs – particularly football and men’s basketball – to handle the substantial financial aspect of roster management.


As the Nebraska basketball program enters a critical offseason of transfer portal recruiting, head coach Fred Hoiberg looks to have added a G.M. of his own.

Luca Virgilio, previously NU’s Director of Basketball Strategies & Business Operations, is now listed as General Manager on the team’s official website.

Per his Huskers.com biography, the Huskers made the promotion official on Thursday.

Luca Virgilio is in his seventh year on the Nebraska men’s basketball staff and first as General Manager after being named to the position in May of 2025.

In his new role, Virgilio oversees and manages the composition of the roster and player acquisition, including high school and international players and transfer portal recruiting, as well as player evaluation and retention. He serves as the liaison between the coaching staff and athletic administration in the NIL space and with the 1890 Collective.

The longest-tenured Husker coaching staff member under Coach Fred Hoiberg, Virgilio is also responsible for all men’s basketball operations, overseeing budget, scheduling, and on-campus recruiting. He also serves as the primary day-to-day administrator within the basketball office, coordinating team travel and serving as a liaison to administrative units that worked with the basketball program.

In all honesty, I would be surprised if any more than 4 guys from this year are here next year: Reink, Sam, Essegian, and maybe 1 of the redshirts. I'm on the fence on Berke...I could see him going back to Europe and/or us cutting his NIL deal.

We will have more to spend with revenue-sharing, and I get the feeling after watching this years band of misfits that there is motivation from donors to get us in the upper-half of the BIg in terms of roster spend.

The program desperately needs a GM too. Fred thinks he can plug anyone into his system and it will work, but that's obviously not the case...we need someone to manage the roster who understands "fit." It starts with more athleticism and shooting.
