ADS Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 SIOUX CITY -- If new Nebraska head coach Tim Miles is going to win basketball games, he may to have to tweak his recruiting strategy a bit. At least, that's the opinion of Matt Davison, a former NU sports star and current Husker Network commentator who was in town Wednesday night speaking at the 43rd Annual Sertoma Club Sports Banquet. "I don't think you can win with just Nebraska kids," Davison said. "You have to have guys that are really, really good to win conference championships.

"You have to have guys that are really, really good to win conference championships. lol. Conference championships? Oh Matty--a little soon for Kool-Aid isn't it? Let's start winning half our conf games. And pull ourselves up to the middle of the pack first. Before we start building any trophy cases for basketball. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I'm missing something. Where was it established that Smiles is focusing on in-state kids? EDIT - yeah, I'm making it official. Tim Miles smiles so much I'm calling him Smiles from now on. FIRST! Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 He gets it. Not a knock on local kids, just a numbers game. The article is fair and reasoned. Kool Aid or not, there is No reason NOT to aim high. Quote Link to comment

Weird correlation, I know. Quote Link to comment

Also, Miles said he would recruit Nebraska players "If they were good enough" so he qualified it as he should have. Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Thanks Matty for telling us all something we didn't already know. However, I'd put money down that CSU's team Nebraska would beat the Skers last season. Quote Link to comment

Omaha-Husker Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 There is some good talent in state. Trouble is Nebraska never gets those kids. When ever there has been a solid in state player places like Texas, Iowa St and now Iowa have won the battles. That HAS to stop. Miles needs to lock up the borders for what little talent it does produce. IMO 3 out of 4 years there is an in state guy worth a scholarship at Nebraska. They might not all be starter quality, but a guy like Eikmeier would of played a lot on this last Husker team. Quote Link to comment

Seriously CSU would sit back and enjoy watching Spencer and McCray playing "I need to get mine" Quote Link to comment

Eikmeier really struggled with the physicality of the Big 12 at Iowa St and the B!G is even more physical. I'd like to think he would have made a contribution as a Husker but it's hard to really know. Quote Link to comment
HuskerInLostWages Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 CSU would have probably beat the Huskers handily this past season. That team was pretty good and played in a pretty decent conference. Coach Miles got the most from his kids and I think he'll do that for us as well. Quote Link to comment
