This doesn't happen until under 2 minutes now.  That rule changed several years ago.

 

Yes, I know the 1st down rule changed last year.  But my points still stands.

The 2 minute warning was added in the NFL to give an advantage to a team trying to score at the end of the game by giving them an extra timeout.  In college, the clock stopping on 1st downs gives the team trying to score at the end of the game an advantage by giving them extra mini-timeouts.  It seems redundant to me to have both.

About time for helmet commination.  But we're still going to see coaches sending in signals and those signs with symbols on the sidelines because of the amount of no huddle that CFB teams run.

2 minute warning, whatever.  I don't think its needed with clocks stopping for 1st downs.  And the powers that be said it won't be adding any commercial time to the games, just shifting around when the commercials happen.

Hints are being dropped that Mazzccua could be on the outs after spring...

Rumor is Essegian is on campus today.

Pot Roast recruiting for Fred (I don’t think he’s coming here).

Another new name to follow as of today is Connor Essegian, a junior SG from Wisconsin.  Started 19 games as a freshman, then as a sophomore was moved to a bench role and only averaged 8 mins/game.  Career 35% shooter from 3.   https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/connor-essegian-1.html

Reports are we aren't getting a visit from Pharrel Payne (Minnesota) as expected later this week.

No Hoiberg team is complete w/o at least one “foreign big man project”.  I assume we’re saving our 13th scholarship for one.

I believe Rhule said in a press conference this week that he doesn't expect any players to enter the portal.

The context that I took from that is that he isn't expecting anyone to enter the portal before spring practice is over, not that he wasn't expecting anyone to enter the portal at all this spring.

It wouldn't surprise me if we lost some OL (21 on scholarship) or DBs (24 on scholarship).

A few updates:

Reports are we aren't getting a visit from Pharrel Payne (Minnesota) as expected later this week.

We have moved on from Joshua Ola-Joseph (Minnesota).

New target of interest for NU - 6'4" Brendan Hausen SG from Villanova.  Career 40% 3 point shooter.  Played 18 mins/game last year.  Has taken 246 shots over 2 years, with 223 being 3 pointers.

We still going after Omaha Biliew?

 

It doesn’t sound like it.  There has been no reported in-home or on-campus visit.

Im guessing Fred got a good scouting report on him from Otzelberger.

5 star in class of 2023

AKA let's just put the conferences mainly back together from what they were 20 years ago...
