Nebrasketball Off-season Updates

You seem quite passionate in your defense of 1890 and quick to blame Fred. Do you have ties to 1890? How was it Fred's fault that our NIL program was scammy and didn't pay some of his players what they were promised? Coaches aren't supposed to be involved with NIL.

No connection whatsoever but I do practice common sense.

Fred is the head coach. Fred has put himself in the spot he's currently in. Fred had a different NIL from all other sports that was Nebraska basketball exclusive due to issues with ABM. He had a large hand in that collective happening. 1890 wasn't even involved with hoops until a few months ago. They have zero responsibilities to what happened prior.

You have to be awfully naive to think coaches aren't involved in NIL.
 
Meh, he's an international student which means he can only earn passive income. I call BS on Washut's reporting.
Sharp on 1620 this morning kind of echoing your same sentiment - that the NIL deal isn't what it supposedly is.

He did also say, however, that Kriisa has a Nike deal. Interesting to say the least - he has to wear Nike when he isn't with the team, etc.

Basketball boosters also wanted nothing to do with ABM and were more or less forced to use that avenue initially
 


33rd ranked player over on Tater Island, 44th on 247.

Appears he's a bit of a Chucker or Volume Scorer. Looked up his stats and shot 39.2% from the floor overall and 27.2% from 3's. Only had 8 games last season where he shot 50% or better from the floor. Maybe Fred feels he can fix his stroke to improve those numbers. Physically put together Guard at 6-4 220 lbs plus is athletic. Has the body to compete in the B1G and finishes at the rim with authority. Power Dunker.

I was going to say I should have added some of those numbers to my original post. The 3 point % is definitely discouraging and is just an above-average FT shooter. One would think he wouldn't be asked to shoot a high-volume of 3's, as Keisei (hopefully) and Lawrence will be doing most of the damage from outside.

Like you said, seems to be an elite slasher and athlete. I will trust Fred and this new coaching staff's evaluation, considering how well they did in the portal last year.

1890 is basically a rebrand of ABM with gutting some of the trash. So they aren't mutually exclusive.

How you can put all these basketball NIL issues on Fred shows you lack common sense.

It's Nebrasketball, you think the money is pouring in? And the money that did, was mishandled by the previously ran 1890 d.b.a. ABM.

Ain't like the big ten is going to be easier but maybe he feels like he's underutilized in his role at Gonzaga
“underutilized” maybe code word for “ball hog”?
