  • Yes

  • No


Results are only viewable after voting.
lol I’m not the one saying he’s doing solid work. Fred’s missed on almost all of his first options the last two years. One from Omaha is gonna be All-ACC and get drafted. Chucky would at least control our offense and not have it die with the ball in his hands. Frankie would give us a third scoring option. You think they wouldn’t make a difference? That’s just three of the many others. Tonje put us in our place. Maybe you should ask who is embarrassing themselves. Fred had this team on the verge on missing the B1G tourney. Glad he turned it around but don’t act like it’s all sunshine and rainbows.
No, you're not saying he's doing solid work. You're trying to say I claimed he hit it out of the park. Which isn't what I stated but I guess you gotta create your narrative.

I like that you named four guys who were very vocal about how much they were never going to play for Nebraska (including one who wasn't even ever in the transfer portal). Again, I said they would be good to have, but not having them hasn't stopped us from getting into the dance. But we can ignore that one too so you can fit your narrative.

Again, for the first time in 30 years we are going to be in the dance in back to back years. But yeah, he's totally been mid.

Yes, you're still embarrassing yourself. You're ignoring some pretty obvious points here just to try and claim Fred isn't good.
 
JFC

Essegian 39.7%

Tominaga 33%, 40%, 37.6%

And it's easily arguable Keisei had a better supporting cast his last 2 seasons.
Tominaga shot 37% last year and had considerably more attempts from 3. That’s the issue. Essegian misses one attempt and hides out. Can’t be a shooter and not let it go. Keisei would probably have 300+ 3pt attempts on this team. Essegian should be shooting closer to 8-10 times a game.
 
Brice, Gary and Mast have been good. The rest have under performed for what people thought we would get. Everyone on our team besides the top are very mediocre athletically and skill wise. Essegian has been cold almost all season long and can’t play defense. Berke really has just added some size but not much else. Morgan has had good moments but still makes a fair amount of mistakes. The fact he ever puts the ball on the floor is mind numbing. Rollie would okay D2 if he wasn’t 6’ 5”. Uhlis is useless on the offensive end. Liked Allicks energy but he wasn’t by any means a star. Fred had really good teams at ISU with transfers but saying he’s hit out of the park in Lincoln is a stretch not to mention all the bad transfers he’s taken and the guys with Nebraska ties he couldn’t land that are playing meaningful minutes on other teams. Pickle Smoochers is gonna land Dix and Freeman from Cockeye next year. They will have two immediate impact starters. Fred has barely done that over 5 years let alone in on transfer portal.

I know I’m pretty critical of Fred but at times it sure seems like he makes it easy to do.
You should probably sit the next few out... you're embarrassing yourself.

He averages about 6 attempts a game....

I guess that's hiding these days.

Just stop.

I posted KT was 37.6% last season.

Essegian 5.8 attempts/game
Tominaga 6.3 attempts/game (last season)

Misses one & hides? He missed his first 2 against NW then hit 2 of the next 3.

Obviously reading comprehension is hard. I’ve only disagreed that Fred is doing “solid work” and every kid I did mention was in the portal in the last two years. Not to mention it’s already been discussed how they would have been in Lincoln till Matty A treated them like shit.

You can say that I’m ignoring obvious points but kind of the pot calling the kettle black there. Obvious a lot of things you don’t know about Husker basketball or hoops inside the state.

How the hell have you gotten 830 likes? Unless you’re liking your own posts, I’m just not seeing it.
 
This thread reminds me of the one where that guy was trying to argue that Brice Williams was terrible. Lol… maybe it’s the same guy.
Brice has been great but praising Fred’s body of work is ridiculous. He’s missed even when Matty A left. Without Loesner it would be interesting to see how we would be. In general, this years team is mediocre. Not great at anything. Not athletic enough to beat good skill players and not good enough to beat good athletes. We’ll get to 20 wins because of an easy early season schedule and be close to .500 in conference play.
 
Morgan and Allick played the role exactly how I expected. Neither were brought in to be stars. Still too early to judge Berke and Essegian imo. Both have shown flashes.

Rollie and Uhlis I would agree with you. Both have underperformed.

How much of that is due to NIL? Im guessing Pickle Smoochers has significantly higher NIL budget.
Rollie has been good as of late though, and I would go as far as to say as really, really good on the defensive end. He completely shut down Berry in the second half once Rollie was his main defender.

I literally quoted your words. So apparently reading comprehension is not your strong suit. I'll give you Chucky, as i forgot he didn't graduate yet, but that doesn't change he never was coming to Nebraska and was very vocal about that. That had nothing to do with Matty.

You really shouldn't talk about who doesn't know about basketball when you've tried to argue that Essegian has been "cold all season" putting up similar (or even better in some areas) numbers to Husker hero Tominaga. Have a seat kid.

I know for a fact Chucky, Fidler and Kyle discussed playing together and were contacted by NU. Not to mention, Chuckys distaste for Husker hoops is because of Matty. It’s literally been discussed on this board. Like a week ago.

You're just talking in circles now. You've already shown you're clueless about this all. Good luck to you, kid.

I disagree with most of what you have had to say. However, I also know for a fact Chucky, Fidler and Kyle had discussed about all coming here together. However, Louisville threw a number at Chucky that we were not willing to match. That kind of blew up the hole idea...
