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).  

 

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

 

The hope here is... Kyle coming? Feels like the interior is the main need now, though yeah getting another shooter would be nice too.

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.

Had mentioned him earlier- would love it but sounds like he went into the portal as a UConn lean.

Sorry Red Five, erased the double-post.

John Hugley to Xavier

Well, if they miss out Frankie, there's a lot of shooters in the portal- already connected to Hickman & Griffiths, hopefully can get in on Hausen from Villanova and Bizjack from Butler (two Texas guys), but yeah would like to hear of them in on more of these guys...

Ugh

Was he HS teammates with FF? They could be reuniting in Lincoln maybe

Yes he was. And Chucky H., too, but sounding like its N or Creighton for Frankie. ('20-21 Bellevue West team featured Hepburn, Fidler, Kyle, Josiah Dotzler, Jaden Jackson & Dae'Von Hall!)

Fred and Co. have done a great job. Two seasons back it looked bleak... now he's entering Tim Miles/Danny Nee/Harry Good territory! THAT EVER-RARE TOURNEY BID!!

We goin’ to the tourney baby!! Hell yes!

Fred's done a great job sticking with the hot hand this year, but running plays for Keisei late, when it's Lawrence who was their best guard tonight, doesn't make much sense. Williams' foul trouble really hurt them too... I don't think most of the calls against him were bad, either. He needs to stay on the court for this team to do anything in  March.

I really like the idea of playing one of those MWC teams first round... outside of SDSU, other teams were all one and done last year, I believe.

Uneven scheduling and a poorly-performing out of conference Big Ten are hurting N here. Going to spend a lot of time rooting against everybody else on the bubble these next few weeks- good news on Texas A&M last night, bad on Pitt... it's unfortunate, but with even more teams next year, who you draw in conference and the metrics are going to determine the 68. (Take it outta their hands though and go 6-0, Huskers!!!!!!)

Slow defensive rotations, poor energy (Mast & Williams!!), great shooting by NW... and yes, another road loss. Need a PG, starting Williams there doesn't seem like the answer. (The other broken record, offensive rebounding, too...)

Is Ochoa a walk-on? Not seeing him listed anywhere, schollie-wise...

It's interesting that Williams from Rutgers is able to play now, while Ulis still sits. Don't know, for continuity purposes, if it's not better for Nebraska at this point anyway (if Rutgers wasn't having an awful season, prob. would've let Williams sit... though he could have eligibility issues). Need a good showing these next 2 games. (I'll be in the stands reppin' red at NW.)

Fong pick in for... N

https://www.on3.com/teams/nebraska-cornhuskers/news/huskeronline-nebraska-football-scholarship-distribution-chart/

A lot of guys on here who will be preferred walk-ons next year, it appears? (Koch, Ruggeroli, Taylor, etc...) And guys who prob. won't be back (IGC & Piper, for two). But yeah the scholarship # stuff is fascinating these days...

2 days, 2 Baltimore St. Frances grads. Hill & Koch are MD guys too.

Started 11 outta 12 games at Florida last year. Big get!!!

First win over #1 since 1982- so surreal! Would’ve swore one of those Kansas teams we beat were #1, during the Nee days/my time in school. The D made all the difference- love Williams’ stat line! Game balls to all! (Including Trev for his faith in Fred!)

Game ball to Mast... no idea how a guy returns that quickly from a knee surgery. Great game last night!!!!

Did he play for DCTW while at Cuse?

Yep

Lovin' all the in-state offers! (And to another legacy!)

6th leading tackler for 'Cuse (52), started 20 career games there- most of them while White was coaching.

On3 saying Stefon Thompson, LB from Syracuse, visiting as well:
