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 😀

I hope we don’t get in…let’s root for NIT and hope to get disappointed

You sit behind Rollie’s dad?

If there is a silver lining, husker board…we can’t blame this one on worster. 😆

Stagnant offense is obviously an issue this year, agreed 👍 we don’t have many shot creators here. Last years team was honestly, very well put together. That’s what helped with offensive flow. It was a really connected bunch with multi ability guys. this years group has to manufacture way more buckets instead of organically coming from mast, allick, tominaga, wilcher, lawerence, teamed with Brice and Gary. That team had so many options any given night. This team is limited in that respect. they won the portal last year…this year they did a fair job…I just don’t like comparing the two teams much because they are legit completely different in their makeup. anyway…Gbr!

8 of the 12 CFP teams had gms 👌

-Get people watching…people will watch anyway -Improve SOS-it will already be just fine with 9 BIG conference games -Secure early ranking-thats laughable if people think that matters when the calendar turns to December -Being scared-If that were true in any way, we’d be filling out MAC applications -Win the game-that would have been nice -Poking fun at the BG falcons-ask Penn St if bowling green will be a push over… I personally wouldn’t be upset if they kept the game, I’d love to see it. But it’s not about what I want or any of us want for that matter it’s about doing what’s best for business…and in that respect, I completely understand the decision.

You can argue if you want 😆 but there’s nothing to argue about…it’s either reality or a very poor, uneducated take 😆 gbr 👍

I don’t get the frustration…you all know we are historically a trash basketball program, right? We get a coach who took said trash program to the dance last year and on the cusp of it in back to back years and some of you want to be done with him?! In what alternate reality do we all live in that makes any of you believe this is a destination job for someone 😆. We are mostly competitive now…we aren’t a doormat. We have 6 quad 1 wins this year for gods sake 😆. seriously…stfu, my god… im sorry, its just overly ridiculous. 17-10 this year…23-11 last year…FIRE FRED! That’s 40-21 in the last 2 seasons…that’s .656 winning percentage. Or for those that don’t math well, we basically win 2 out of every 3 games we play the past 2 years…but yeah, burn it down…

Makes sense…it’s an unnecessary game that won’t really help either school with a win but a loss could be catastrophic if one is on the bubble to make the playoffs. play a mid major…get a win…move on

It’s not really about the production…and to be clear, stoll wasn’t the gold standard, just a recent reference that went undrafted who has made some nfl rosters and contributed. Stoll was an inch shorter, weighed 7 pounds more, ran slightly faster, similar hand size, wingspan arm length…measurables are very similar…but he could block and was willing to block. Findone has not shown a willingness to do much more than get in the way, I guess. Idk man, I’m just putting in my two cents…for reference, I’m not employed by any of the current nfl teams…though the Winnipeg Jets have been reaching out 😆
