I don't know that "burned" is even the right description. They recruit guys who they feel have the tools and development trajectory to help them in the rotation in a year after a redshirt, but that's just projection. Fred probably had a year end meeting with him and was candid about where he's likely to end up in the rotation and Grimes left to find more PT.

Eli Rice left and then basically sat another full year at Penn State before finally getting minutes on one of the worst teams in the conference. I don't know that I'd say that burned Nebraska in any meaningful way

What do you do with redshirting freshman? We’ve been burned now the last 3-4 years

What can you do? If the kid was good enough to make the top 7-8 he would’ve played, and if he played well (like Frager) he’d earn an offer to make him stay. But if you’ve had a kid for year, and someone else is willing to pay more than you think he’s worth you gotta let the kid walk I think. The coach who’s had the kid for a year should best know (ideally) if the kid is worth counter offering to convince him to stay.

I mean, under the current “system” that’s about all you can do to keep a guy. Offer more money and kiss his ass. Kids have all the cards these days…

Just did some research on Trevon Leonhardt and i am completely sold and think Fred found a perfect fit if we land him….

1) He did a 2 year mission before starting CBB, so he’s currently 23 and will turn 24 in January (maturity, fill Masts ‘grandpa’ role)

2) He started every game at Utah Valley, leading them to 25-8 and an NIT berth this year (knows how to win)

3) He averaged over 6 assists and 5 rebounds per game from the PG position (yes you read that assist number correctly, good for 24th in the country)

If we land this dude and Fielder from Boise State my Kool-Aid cup will overflow… also another super punchable face to pair with Sandfort and Frager. Can’t go wrong with punchable face white dudes in the Big Ten!
