Nebrasketball 2025 Portal Szn + Roster Ins/Outs

[Seaofred92]

Would absolutely love to go buy Drake’s point guard Bennett Stirtz

 

[Southendzonehusker]

Would like to go buy their coach too.

 

[Driveway Jordan]

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.

What about this season tells you donors are hungry.
Nebraska got beat out last year for anyone they had to pay a good amount for.
There’s a lot to be desired from this team, and truthfully the loading up on transfers isn’t going to work every year.

They need a talented freshman here and there that can play. High school recruiting has been an absolute abortion for the most part because they can’t compete money wise.

 

[Goskers07]

We have a ton of offensive production that needs replaced. Fred needs at least one HR in the portal.

 

[Dell Husker]

Go all out and get a scoring guard and/or point guard. I’d spend half the NIL budget to make sure we get a guaranteed scorer. Then get an athletic big to back up Rienk.

Next year:
Transfer PG
Transfer Guard
Essegian
Berke
Rienk

Hoiberg
Transfer Big
Janowski
Frager
Goggles

Essegian can come off the bench for all I care. I don't want to know what his shooting splits were at home in Big Ten play - they had to have been horrific.

That team gets TORCHED defensively

I’d like to think he can take a step forward next year. Definitely could be wrong though

 

[Huskers633]

Anyone hear of any players that are leaving? Portal opens 2 weeks from today. I hope Mast comes back and think he will. I'll be disappointed if he leaves but outside of him, I won't be bothered by anyone else leaving. I do like Essegian and still think Berke has potential but if they go they go.

I think Griffiths has potential, but I'll be surprised if he's here next year. No inside info there, just a hunch.

I doubt Griffiths leaves unless its to a small school closer to his home state. I think it was probably communicated to him that he was going to be a project. Kid has all the potential in the world to be a 20+PPG guy in the Big Ten. He definitely had the yips all year though so hopefully he can build his confidence because he's an athletic freak for having that small of a frame.

Definitely ended the season in a home funk. 0-fer from 3 point land in 3 of his last 4 B1G home games.

His best games all came against garbage competition. Coincidence?

1/20 at home in the most crucial stretch of the season. Nice

He was making the same shots in those games that he was missing in Big Ten play, though. He missed plenty of good looks yesterday.

For sure which is why I ask if it's a coincidence. Maybe just not good under pressure but found it interesting

If he leaves I think it would absolutely be to a smaller school. I completely agree about his potential.

I dont see HS recruiting as a fix...unless you're landing Ace Bailey or Derek Queen, no one is walking through that door that will help instantly.

We were bottom 4 in the BIG in NIL spending for bball. NIL fundraising has improved a lot under Dannen...he was just hired when we were portal hunting last spring. NIL + revenue sharing should provide a decent pool of money to go get some players. But then there are no excuses for Fred.

 

[TooTall]

They need to go buy 3/4 of a new team, a real PG, a shooting forward and big forward and probably two real BIGS. Being that Hoiboy, has NEVER been able to get one real BIG to come to Lincoln, that will be nearly impossible.
