I’m assuming we’ve found ways around it. Keisei, Reink, and Berke are/were all here and happy. Berke was given a two year deal last year as well.

Bruh. Cmon. This is getting common. This ain't hard.
Your inability to post Trump propaganda in the proper thread makes me question your intelligence.

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.

IMO probably not much will change. I like it though.

2 uninspiring hires. Nothing less, or more.
@park_neb thoughts on this from Washut this morning?
***I still think there’s a chance Nebraska will add at least one more player to its 2025-26 roster before all is said and done. However, who that might be remains very much up in the air.
2025 Italian forward Maikcol Perez has been the hot name on NU’s board over the last couple of weeks. While it seemed like that one was trending in the right direction, I’m not so sure anymore.
From what I understand, there could be a bit of a roadblock due to Perez and his camp wanting more guaranteed playing time than the Huskers are willing to promise. We’ll see what happens, but I wouldn’t hold my breath on Perez coming aboard at this point.
***If not Perez, it sounds like Nebraska has some other irons in the fire for potential options. The problem is, I have no clue yet who that might be. I’ll work on that.

They've talked to another Euro wing.
Denis Badalau. Romanian kid who plays in Italy.
This isn't a new develop with Perez. I thought/hoped Luca's relationship with the people involved would get it across the line. But it's a big move to make without promises & guarantees. I get both sides. If the people in his camp search long enough, they'll eventually find a school who will tell them what he wants to hear and likely not be able to deliver.
I think if they're truly changing demands and want a lot more minutes and a starting role, then it won't workout. Fred got burned bad by that the first 3 seasons he was here. If Perez was 22 and had played at the highest level already, I think that might be a different conversation.
Still think there's a better chance that not he's eventually in. But I wouldn't put a massive confidence level on that.
