He's come a long way since arriving to Lincoln as a freshmen.  Never gave up, kept shooting, had a good run last year.  And it's a super honor to play for your Country.  I wish him the best - if he doesn't play in the NBA, he can always enjoy playing professionally in the EuroLeague, which is not too shabby.  

Not to be picky, but I believe he arrived not as a freshman,  but after a stint in Jr. College...maybe 2  years?; but agree with the rest. Also, one might argue that Fred either didn't trust him/or believe in him enough to give him substantial playing time early and it's speculation on all of us as to whether or not that is partially Fred's fault or he really just wasn't ready. Regardless, I'm glad he's back and he will be a positive and marketable storyline throughout the season.

Pretty sure I heard Matt Rhule say at the end that he couldn’t hear the questions.   We can’t either Matt, we can’t either.

So what’s the WR depth chart looking like right now? 

Youthful 

You can never have too many Boogies.....

New recruit??

Peyton Cody as a transfer 

(Probably should have posted this in Softball 2024)

So his last win was against the Huskers and that occurred on a foreign continent  ..wow

That's got to sting a bit that Omaha native Michael Burt chose  Tight End University over the Huskers.

Or, possibly Burt got the vibe that Nelson is N, and recognized a crowded room....??

Weren't we "runner-up" for the point guard (or was it the power forward) way back early in the portal days??

Didn't Zane Flores get to the Elite 11 a few years ago?

Thought it was just a year ago for Flores...

Is it officially Nebraska ??  Creighton and UNO would also qualify for "closer to home"........Hoping it is DONU, but haven't seen anything official........

USC and/or UCLA vs. Rutgers and/or Terps.  Need to unretire Concorde plane .

 

If 3-6-6 model, then NU could be Iowa, Badgers and UCLA in protected rivals.

Or Minny in lieu of Badgers

No official set here as of yet. 

Have also heard he possesses a really acute sense of football knowledge and understanding of the game 

Bolts infatuation with Shanamon when he has struggled so badly is quite remarkable 

Walking the 8 and 9 hitters definitely a recipe for disaster

Be nice to go after that North Dakota State 6'11 Center who played with Greisal, but have no clue if there is any interest by either side

Now get Tominaga back and find another shooter, and you'd have to call the portal season successfull...

He has to do something other than just facilitate the offense otherwise there is no reason to guard him.  Most teams just ignored him on the offensive end of the floor because they knew he wasn't much of a threat for all three years at Iowa.  I'm not saying he has to score 15 points per game, but he has to be some kind of threat or we will essentially be playing 4 on 5 on the offensive end of the floor.

Agree with that

Based on what I saw if Iowa last year, I'm not sure if he's better than the options we already had.  Maybe better ball security but he doesn't seem to drive to the hoop or shoot 3's.  He started, but only played 22.5 min/game.  If we are only expecting 20-ish minutes/game, then OK.  If we are expecting him to put in starter minutes (at least 30), then I don't see it.

It's not a must that he shoots threes and drives. I will be happy if he facilitates the offense, gets the ball to the right people, and doesn't turn it over! Theoretically we have other shooters, especially if Tomanaga comes back; but Fred has never had a true point guard in his Husker tenure.

So now we have what, a #1 QB and three co-#4 QBs?

Optics are better to label 3 co-#2s

Woeful Weekend 

Don't seem mentally focused yet tonight. Got picked off, failed to throw back to first to double off the runner on a line drive, lackadaisical swings, etc. Need to lock in, or winning the series will be especially difficult.

Guys in the mix

Josiah Allick

Hunter Sallis

Latrell Wrightsell

Brady Dunlap

Would like another BIG  (if the scuttlebutt about Keita's lingering ankle has any merit).
