Nebrasketball 2024-25 Roster Ins/Outs

[Natural9]

Why would Hepburn go to Cardigan U with Ashworth already entrenched at PG there?

So, as it stands right now, it is looking likely that Essegian and Milicic will round out this class.

Have you heard somewhere that MIlicic will be N?

I've heard that we really like our chances. That being said, I don't know if the staff likes Kyle III more and is waiting to see what he decides to do. I could be wrong, but I don't see us missing on both Milicic and Kyle III. I'm a big fan of Kyle III, but I personally feel that Milicic is better for Fred's offense. Mast and him would really stress a lot of defenses...

So, as it stands right now, it is looking likely that Essegian and Milicic will round out this class. That would mean we are trading Keisei, Allick, Coleman (graduating) with Janowski and Frager (HS), and Lawrence, Wilcher, Rice, Kieta, Diop and Lloyd (transfers) with Ulis, Worster, Mason, Griffith, Essegian and Milicic (transfers).

Last years lineup vs next years projected lineup...

Williams -> Worster
Keisei -> Williams
Gary -> Gary
Allick -> Milicic
Mast -> Mast

Lawrence -> Griffith
Wilcher -> Essegian
Hoiberg -> Ulis
Rice -> Mason

Losing Keisei is a blow, but that roster looks like a much more competitive team...

Don't forget 6-10 Morgan. He seems like a slightly more athletic version of Mast. Not saying he has all the old man moves around the hoop or passing prowess Mast has but he does appear to be more of a shot blocking threat plus plays with a physical nasty edge at times but can still hit 3's at a decent rate. Could say he is the replacement for Diop, and a definite upgrade on the offensive end over Diop.

I was super impressed when we played Buttgers. He looked like a doofus but boy had some skills.

some videos of Griffiths. I'm as excited about this addition as any new hoops player. Griffiths & Milicic would be my 1a & 1b for current Portal players we are in on excelling in Fred's offense.

Yeah I could see Griffiths really breaking out. He's got great length and seems like he's in the Dalano Banton mold of just being so damn long to not be a problem on defense.

Its weird how players end up at places that are basically exactly wrong for them

Dumbass me called Morgan "Mason" for some reason....

@Cowboy Kermit Semi Random question: is there any truth to a rumor I just heard (not sure if they're a reliable source) that Mast may redshirt next year and have surgery done on his knee

He redshirted at Bradley I believe so I don't believe it's even possible

 

[jickey moseph]

@Cowboy Kermit Indianus fans chiming in saying we've passed on Essegian now. What say you

 

[Frogsker30]

medical tho right?


"Mast spent four years at Bradley University, totaling 1,001 points and 657 rebounds in three seasons after redshirting in 2019-20 because of an injury"

This rumor comes from 24/7 and there’s one guy who’s saying this.

I simply see zero chance at Mast being here next year and not playing.

truth be told I didnt see it there. But wouldnt surprise me if the person who told me got it there. Hes a member.

I think he'd need a hardship waiver for an additional year of eligiblity, which is more stringent than a simple medical redshirt. He's used 5 years of eligiblity (counting the covid year) out of 6 possible (again counting the covid year) so he'd need approval for 7 whether he plays or not. Given that he's played in 28+ games every year, it seems really unlikely

I question what knee injury he’d have that would have him miss the full year? ACL/MCL would be about it. You’d think we’d have heard of that.
