True, but I don't like the idea of trying to sell NU as this sad pathetic program. They are in the best (or second best) conference for basketball, they have amazing support with fantastic facilities. I get the "history" part but look at the teams with top 25 classes last year... LSU Miss State Providence Bama WKU It isn't like kids are sitting around dreaming about the history of those schools. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a coach I would think that looks great. As mentioned we have the fan support, AD support, facilities, ample time, everything. But get a load of this, the expectations are wanting to make the tourney and win a game. Literally come to a P5 program and don’t have to worry about winning the B1G, don’t have to worry about making it to the sweet 16, elite 8, etc. The expectations are only to win a tournament game and make the tourney every 2-3 years or so, and when that happens, you’ve set yourself up pretty nicely for a more name brand basketball school along with going down in Nebraska history. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And to be considered a success you simply have to make the tournament out of a league that might send 9-10 teams this year. Finish in the middle of the league, win about 20 games, make the tournament, win one of those games in the next couple years = you're a hero. Not exactly the highest bar to get over. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LSU Miss State Providence Bama WKU It isn't like kids are sitting around dreaming about the history of those schools. Let's be honest though--three of those schools operate in a conference where they have a "Bagman of the Year" award. An excellent Bagman will help any kid overlook a school's history...or lack thereof. Providence and WKU are the real interesting movers here. 3 hours ago, Cdog923 said: I'm in 100% agreement with you, but still, there's no amount of lipstick that will make the only pig that hasn't won a tournament game look good. Since when are people smearing stacks of $100 dollar bills on the lips of pigs and calling it lipstick? 'Cause we do have money to burn here, folks, and it doesn't make sense to cheapen out if we're legitimately going to try and make the tournament. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xmas32 1,023 Report post Posted February 12 I'd like to see Nebraska make a run at someone like Frank Martin. Did a really nice job at KState and pretty much built things from scratch at South Carolina. Dude is a heckuva coach. Other names (total speculation obviously) Thad Matta I thought maybe Nebraska could make a Godfather type offer to Buzz Williams at VT but he's already making $2.6mm and signed an amended contract through 2022 that will pay him $3.3mm. Nebraska would have to offer something in the $4mm + range which is essentially Tom Izzo level money and would put the NU coach in top 10 almost top 5 pay-wise. I do wonder if you threw a bunch of cash at a dude like Mick Cronin from Cincy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Nebraska come through with a big boy offer in a big boy league...He's a competitor, at some point you would want to play the best, which I think most years is the ACC and Big Ten.
