Nebrasketball Recruiting Thread

I guess we are going to be screwed next year unless we open up the checkbook on a 15-20 PPG scorer in the transfer marker. I see no one on current roster with the ability to step into the Williams role.

Completely agree. We're going to need a couple guards that can really score.

I think Frager will make an impact before Janikowski, tbh. Frager just looks smooth in warm ups.

Thankfully, it is easier to replace someone in basketball than it is football, and I think it should be easy to find someone that wants to take Brice's role of scoring and being the guy. The nice thing is that we should theoretically have both Mast and Berke back in the front court, and Essegian in the back court. Goggles needs to figure it out and take advantage of the minutes he gets.

I hope you're right about Frager, but I'm not so sure. I do agree he looked good in the scrimmage and in the exhibition.

I think we'll good in the frontcourt. It sounds like this 5 year eligibility clock will most likely go through. Robin said before the season started he was told that Morgan said he would come back for another year if it goes through. Mast, Berke, and Morgan is a pretty solid frontcourt. Probably look for one more guy out of the portal there.

We should be able to find someone to take Brice's role, but we'll have to spend some money. As I said in my previous post I think we'll need multiple. Essegian is an elite shooter. I really like what we have in him. I really like Griffiths and hope he can figure it out. Who knows, maybe after a year here he'd be more ready next year. But that's assuming he stays. I think because of how the season has gone he's probably a portal candidate. He's got great potential though. I'm not sure I've ever posted this on here as I don't really post in the game threads, but I'd much rather see Griffiths get those spot minutes over Cale. I get that Cale is in for defense, and that's not Griffiths strength. But Griffiths has the ability to go off similar to Essegian. I say this to my buddies in our group chat every time Cale goes into the game. I'll die on that hill.

We'll need a PG in the portal. IMO we need one that can shoot the 3. Worster and Ulis ain't it. I know Worster does a lot of other things to make this team successful, but I've been on the Worster sucks bandwagon since the Hawaii game. IMO PGs that aren't a threat from 3 handicap Fred's offense. Ulis is the other guy Robin said he was told would come back for another year, but we need someone different. I keep waiting for Fred to find his Monte Morris at PG that he had at Cockeye St.

Good points all around.

Sharp made an interesting point on yesterday's show that he thinks Worster might be in the dog house after the Purdue debacle. Why do you think this is - his defense and his general mopiness when on the court? Because it was kind of noticeable at stretches on Sunday.

I don't mind Ulis' energy and hustle; it is just a damn shame he doesn't have a shot outside of like 10-15 feet.

I don't listen to the radio any more, but that's interesting about Worster maybe being in the dog house. I wonder what that would mean going forward, if it even lasts? Yes, Worster can get to the rim, but I've got to the point where I take anything we get from him offensively as a bonus.

I still think we have a good team, and I think they're good enough to win a tournament game. It would just mostly depend on which Nebraska team showed up defensively. I posted this on ON3, I'm not sure if I posted it here, but if they get to 10-10 in the conference they'll be in. There's 5 home games they can't afford to lose. Rutgers, USC, Minnesota, Ohio St, and Cockeye. Illinois, Michigan, and Maryland will be tough. Even though Maryland isn't playing very good basketball right now. On top of that games @ Oregon, Washington, Northwestern, Penn St, and Ohio St are all very winnable games.
