I think they need both! But yeah extremely pressing if they lose Mast, an interior guy... 2, at least. Never surprised if a team leaves that 13th spot open but I am hoping for/expect at least 3 more signings, 4 if Mast goes. (2/3 minimum...?) 1 Quote Link to comment

HuskermanMike Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 10 hours ago, Red Five said: Known players we are after (we have visited or they have been/will be on campus): SF Frankie Fidler Sr Omaha PF William Kyle Jr South Dakota St PF/C Pharrel Payne Jr Minnesota SF Joshua Ola-Joseph Jr Minnesota C Malique Ewin Jr JUCO/Ole Miss C Igor Milicic Sr Charlotte PF/C Andrew Morgan Sr NDSU PG Rollie Worster Sr Utah SG/SF Gavin Griffiths So Rutgers SG Connor Hickman Sr Bradley -> Cincinnati PF John Hugley Sr Oklahoma -> Xavier BTW Red Five, thanks for the updates man. You are doing some great stuff keeping everyone updated! Thinking this is a list of guys we want most with 4 scholly's remaining. 1a- F William Kyle (JR) 1b- F/C Igor Milicic (SR) 3 C Malique Evin (JR)- if we miss on one of our top two I think he fits in here nicely. 4 G Brendan Hausen (JR) 5a G Connor Essegian (JR) 5b Depth at guard or forward - I think Fred will not take another HS player unless it is a late bloomer we find similar to Diop last year. - Outside of Milicic, it looks like we will be targeting guys with 2 or more years of eligibility left. - I still believe we can get both of Kyle and Milicic, will be interesting to see what happens. Also, still waiting to hear on Mast. - An absolute need is bench shooting and Hausen fits that role- would be a great get for us. - As I said before, it will be interesting to see how many guys may come here to possibly sit for a year and play a lot more in the coming years. - Nebraska is going for guys that fit what Fred wants to do as opposed to NIL bag getters. 2 Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 No Hoiberg team is complete w/o at least one “foreign big man project”. I assume we’re saving our 13th scholarship for one. Yvan Ouedraogo Eduardo Andre Oleg Kojenets Blaise Keita Matar Diop 1 1 Quote Link to comment

DGNU Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 22 hours ago, Red Five said: 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. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/brendan-hausen-1.html Verbal commits did a blurb on this this morning. Would be awesome!!! Nebraska basketball interested in Villanova guard Brendan Hausen According to Robin Washut of Husker Online, there is mutual interest between the Huskers and former Villanova guard Brendan Hausen. The 6-foot-4 guard was ranked as the No. 70 overall prospect coming out of high school but has been limited to coming off the bench for the Wildcats. Last season, he averaged 6.2 points per game in just over 17 minutes. He shot 38 percent from 3-point range and has made 88-of-222 3 attempts from deep the past two seasons (39.5 percent). Like Gavin Griffiths, his best basketball seems to be ahead of him. On3.com also called him “one of the best shooters in the portal” so it would be a perfect fit for Nebraska baskeball. Washut reported a visit is possible and this would be another stellar addition if Fred Hoiberg can pull it off. Quote Link to comment

Loebarth Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Wow.. this is getting absolutely crazy. I'm so glad huskerboard has well informed members that can track this whacky world of transfer. I say this with the utmost sincerity and genuine admiration. Thank you to those keeping up with this so a noob like me can follow. It's greatly appreciated!! @Mavric @Red Five @DGNU @SouthLincoln Husker Thanks Guys!! 2 Quote Link to comment

But maybe they look at it with Fidler being similar to Williams, and Griffith with Gary. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Chucky is not coming to Nebraska. 1 Quote Link to comment
Madcows Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 The way Chucky's family has been treated, and the way Chucky has been treated at PBA, I'd say there is about .0001% chance he's heading to Lincoln. If the team-up with former teammate FF is an option, the opportunity is in Omaha. Quote Link to comment
