For him to even consider us, we have to win some games and show we have players on the team that can get us to the next level. The more he sees "Nebraska" the better.

Sometimes it just takes a relationship. There is always a chance, no matter how slim.

I am not disagreeing at all......just making a statement regarding the "scout" team. I admit that I do not follow the BB recruiting nearly as close as football or pretend to know much, if at all about our depth...but, I do know that for 2 years, under Doc, everyone kept saying that we had 5 freshmen who could beat our starters and that we were only 2 years away. I am sure this was the truth, and it probably has a lot to do with guys leaving the program (???), but it seems like the "scout team" myth has been used a lot lately, wtih no results. Once again, I am not debating your comment, just making statement about the past years (yes, under an old coach.) Considering that the scout is not freshman and on paper are better athletes than what's on the floor, I tend to believe. But I have no proof other than seeing Ptichford play at the Y. Can not wait to see him on the floor next year! Thank you for the information...like I said, I don't claim to know much about it..... my "freshman" reference was directly aimed at the Doc era, when I believe that he brought in 4-5 fresh and the discussion did revolve around that group that he "redshirted". Not this year's "scout" team. Most of what I know is what I read and get from the posters. Livin in Lincoln, I get a lot of senseless rumors. Everyone has a friend at the Univ, that knows something. In fact, I have relation in the athletic dept. and its always closed lips so I don't ask!

I am with Lyons, I see contribution from both transfers, Biggs & Webster to join Shields, Rivers & Gallegos. I think we run out of gas at the end of games and next year, we will have more depth. We just need more bulk to rebound and score in the post. If it is true that the scout team beats up on the current starters, it would not be a surprise to be in the dance next year. Regardless, the NIT is not a bad step for a team that has not played in the post season for quite awhile.

Agree! I do not think Miles was aware of that until we got into the conference schedule. This is probably why he is letting Thomas go. We need some bulk!

Pitching will be fine. We need to put the bat on the ball, when we have a runner in scoring position. It seemed like we SO 50% of the time.

Webster could be that player that changes Husker BB. I read somewhere that if he played in the US, he would be a 5 star player. We have the facilities, arena, coach and now we just need to start winning some games. Big name players want to win & go to the NBA!

I agree! He drives me crazy! Shields is a FR and he knows if he is not open to pass! It is a simple concept, find the open shooter!

Every fan is different, but for me we need to be competitive and be in a tournament every year (NCAA & NIT) with more years in the NCAA.

You forgot that we were better with Talley on the bench. Shields only shots in the last 10 minutes was on rebounds and an assist from Ubel. Talley can score, but fails to get the rest of the team involved in the game and his defenses avg. at best!

Maybe there is a good chance of getting Russell in 2014, which give us a 3-4 yr. player or maybe grades are a issue?

Like every game this weekend, there was a lack of plate discipline. Great pitching effort, maybe too many innings for Vogt.

Good pitching, but too many SO with runners in scoring position.

Agree about the lack of talent, but I expected more out of the pitching staff under year 2 of Silva. This team has a long way to go. Hitting needs to go back to the basics, too many free swingers with two strikes and pitching is horrible. We might have more HB then SO, for sure we have more BB. Just an ugly weekend.

Agreed!

We are down 1 when Talley comes in the game. He makes more mental mistakes than shots. He also looks for his shot instead of the open player. This has been a problem all year.

Too many SO!

Agreed. Looks like we will need a few first time Huskers to show up!

Too many Ks, several at the beginning of the game with runners on and a Sr. with 4. Not what I expected!

Hard to say. Dad is Husker alum. and kid & family are good down to earth people. But $ change people quickly.

Jackson played ball with my son several years ago. Hell of an athlete, but baseball is his love. Plus he is a very humble down to earth kid. I too wonder if he ever plays for the Huskers. MLB $ vs. playing for the Huskers. I do believe that his dad is an alum, maybe that will help.

Sorry, a Doc coached team would have a hard time scoring 55, let a lone 60. Doc is a nice guy and a good def. coach, but Miles is a much much better.

I agree. Ive been surprised he hasnt tried to recruit more since hes been here. I think he stumbled the last couple years thinking he needed to get bigger guys for B1G play which is true on the lines, but everywhere else speed kills and it will never change no matter what conference you're in. TO had to learn it too. The speed we have in this class is awesome. Get the speed and athleticism in house and earn your money teaching and coaching them up to be great. I think it started last year. We should see more speed and athleticism on the field from this year's RS FR.
