Cobra Kai

I noticed him when he portaled…he’d be a good get. The point guard we haven’t had since hoiberg got here. Hopefully this has legs

I got the sarcasm…you do you man. We will agree to disagree

i don’t know who is ignoring poor coaching here…we under performed this year, in almost every area. Everyone knows that. That’s on players and coaches. That’s on recruiting, portal guys, in season development, game planning, on court performance, etc… If you are suggesting that Fred hoiberg is not a good basketball coach then there is no reason to keep the chat ongoing…idk.

There are plenty of quality players out there…drake is a great example. I don’t think it’s about us spending the most…more about getting the most out of what we spend. We fell way short this season. Needs to be better next season

Can’t say I agree with the made a big jump argument…he just played a lot more minutes. His stats per 40 minutes were basically identical except for ft %. His ft % was 20 points better in his junior year than every other year he ever tried to shoot a basketball. Other than that his senior year stats were better or nearly identical per 40 minutes…except for ppg. That was about a half a point higher his jr year. Maybe now we will live by the golden rule: “hope in one hand, crap in the other…see which one fills up first

Someone saw his jr year stats at Washington and got super excited…overlooked freshman, sophomore and senior years…one of those things is not like the others 😆 his 5th year was just like his Fresno state years and his last year as a husky. I don’t mean to bash the guy but he legitimately played about 15-20 really good minutes this season. He sure is tall. Too bad for him that isn’t a prerequisite for being a good D1 basketball player. he is really tall though. I wish him well in his future endeavors. fwiw if that’s the type of 7 footer we can get here, let’s just stay with the 6-8 to 6-10 guy that has some level of coordination and can make a basket without physically having to touch the rim

You lost me at decent option 😀

You lost me at decent big man

The players don’t come, sir…relax 😆 Not the fans…I’d never say a disparaging remark towards our fan base. Butts in seats matter to the bottom line and our nostalgia and such…but Cooper Flagg type guys aren’t coming here because we were 15th in attendance in the country in basketball 😆 that’s what I’m talking about…gbr

Players don’t care about butts in seats. They want to get to the league and win. Creightons rise was a slow burn…and they did it mostly at a mid major level. Once they got to the big east they were already established as a winner. our facilities are top notch…we have money…lots of it. We have the best fans in the nation (allegedly) but yet they still don’t come.:.because we have never won and we have 3 nba draft picks since the turn of the century. That’s not a hot take, that’s reality. in order to build a winner you have to over achieve with less so you can get better guys to reach the ceiling. We have never done that here consistently. I get your frustration…I really do. But honestly, what are your realistic expectations for this program…knowing what you know about our program history?

We have never even won a tournament game what exactly is a realistic expectation for the only power 4 school to have that dubious distinction? don’t be ridiculous. Everyone is frustrated with how the season went…we get it. This is not a destination job for anyone better than Fred. And as far as recruits go…what’s the selling point? Winning tradition? NBA feeder? Money? Facilities? Fans? unfortunately guys that put basketballs in hoops with regularity rarely care about fans…so our #1 draw is ridiculously overstated when it comes to impact basketball players 😆…we have great facilities and money. We have zero evidence of winning when you come here and we are far from an NBA feeder program. I won’t speak for husker nation, I don’t know what the masses feel…but I have realistic expectations/hopes for our basketball program. Compete…win more than we lose…get to the postseason and win a game. We fell short in a lot of areas this year, no argument from me there…but this was not a great roster from the beginning. So if you thought more of them than they were capable of that’s on you. we have a team full of roll players and Brice. Even Juwan was a role player…he stepped up most of the season to have his best season by far. lets also not assume Fred isn’t going after impact players in the portal…that’s another ridiculous notion…we didn’t get any this year…and it makes sense…when money doesn’t win out or facilities…or those wonderful fans…5 stars aren’t lining up to play basketball here regularly. I’m of the opinion that we see what Fred does in the portal this offseason because it’s a huge turnover of the roster. If we fall flat next year, which is possible…then we can have serious conversations about moving on from this staff…before then is just being an unrealistic fan…in my opinion. GBR

Let’s just close the thread this is absurd…

To me it’s kind of a nothing burger…good offseason fodder, sure, but it’s not earth shattering. if us novice simpletons can see Raiola being a statue in the pocket so can his coaches, himself and his opponents for that matter…you wanna be the man??? Prepare like it and make yourself the best version of yourself. I don’t see 10 zone reads per game in his future 😆 he’s a pocket guy but needs work on play extension…a part of that is working on your agility and fitness. pretty standard stuff I think. Hopefully a more focused regiment this offseason gets that baby fat off and lets him be his best version of qb1.

It’s destiny 😆

I think that means we’re about to pull a rabbit out of a hat 😀
