Nebrasketball Off-season Updates

[Baron Winnebago]

Do we have room since we took Uhlis?

On scholarship yes. In the rotation, not yes unless he bumps someone out, which would probably be Lawrence

For 500K, (supposedly WV was offering). I don't see us pursuing

I’d rather us find a guy to backup and compete with Gary. The 4 spot is looking empty

If Kriisa came here he'd immediately be the starting PG. In that instance Ulis would be coming off the bench. IMO right now the starting lineup would be:

Ulis
Tominaga
Lawrence
Gary
Mast

If Kriisa comes the starting lineup would be this:

Kriisa
Tominaga
Lawrence
Gary
Mast

Brice isn't coming off the bench. He starts for Lawrence.

I think Brice will come off the bench like he did for Charlotte. I do think he'll be one of our better players. IMO he was huge pickup.

 

[MtnHusker]

I agree. Brice brings so much athleticism plus length which can come in handy on defense when you have smaller guards like Keisei & Ulis. Nice rotation of 3 guards with Keisei, Ulis & Lawrence filling the 1 & 2.

I really don't want Kriisa now and would rather get the 7-1 Center from Washington State and either a 3 pt specialist or taller 4 with the 2nd scholarship. I think it is kinda a dick move to bring in Ulis and then immediately recruit over him. I'm not sure how much of a 'Team Player" Kriisa is.

Agreed. I don't think Kriisa really fits that culture thing that they've put so much emphasis on. That 7 footer would be the best get. Let him develop behind Mast and Keita and he and Keita will make for a great front court in a year or two.

Yeah he would be. I wonder how Fred will play it if he becomes available given that I'm not sure we would have taken Uhlis if Kriisa has come in the first place

@Cowboy Kermit are you hearing anything on the Quinerly front?

@Cowboy Kermit are you hearing anything on the Quinerly front?

was news to me he was in the portal. Quick Google Search found an article about him & Huskers potential.

Nebraska Cornhuskers: Alabama guard might be in play for Hoiberg’s Heroes

The Nebraska Cornhuskers could have a shot of landing a difference maker at guard if Alabama's Jahvon Quinerly gives them a look.

Correct. Asking since a poster over on On3 that seems to have intel said there is growing momentum between Quinerly and Nebrasketball.

We've had too much getting our hopes up with Sallis already. I'm trying to stop this one before it starts.

We get used and abused for NIL negotiations and fall back options all the time. I think it's funny when all the taters see Robin's tweets showing we contacted a recruit and just assume we got a decent chance with these top guys.

 

[jickey moseph]

Not portal related, but good for Banton. Shame his one season here was shortened with COVID.

 

[Cowboy Kermit]

@Cowboy Kermit are you hearing anything on the Quinerly front?

Apologies as I was off line for the last week or so. Will be shocked if Quinerly ends up anywhere other than Memphis. Looking more and more like Nebraska is in no rush to fill either of the 2 open scholarships.
