I AM FOOT FOOT Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 If this hire does indeed happen are we looking for an immediate impact or is this a rebuilding job? Quote Link to comment

If he can keep the recruits we have and Roby stays, maybe land a transfer, then I could see us easily finishing better in the B1G than we did this past year. That's not saying much though Quote Link to comment

That's not saying much though I think Roby staying is key. I believe he will get Allen to stay. I also believe Heiman has a lot of potential. Quote Link to comment
MKMScat20 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Not sure if it makes anyone feel better about the delay...but ESPN is reporting Hoiberg is close to a done deal at NU. Says position was discussed in February and deal may be reached by next week. Quote Link to comment

That is why I said after doing research I realized all the previous violations he had and realized Moos wouldn’t touch him. Quote Link to comment

That's not saying much though I'm guessing with his rep, his history with transfers, his contacts, and the newer MUCH looser portal rules that he brings in more than one transfer.

I've never been a big fan of MItch's, he seems to miss factual details all the time and never write anything other than the most generic talking point of the biggest majority of opinions. I agree - he's largely a placater and was so during his time at the OWH. The Athletic's primary strategy is to poach a top sportswriter in the market they want to enter, aiming for the highest profile possible. Mitch was not their first or even second choice. I know the first two they went after and couldn't get (one year ago, mind you). They then couldn't get anyone in time for the Husker season in 2018 so they put their plans on hold. Now, they've got Mitch, and I don't plan to read any of it. Every single other local media outlet has more resources and better overall reporters. 4 hours ago, man eating mastodon said: If this hire does indeed happen are we looking for an immediate impact or is this a rebuilding job? Hoiberg was always big on the transfer market so, it's cliché, but his roster will really determine a lot. Obviously, losing Thomas Allen would hurt quite a bit, and they would probably need quite a bit of help on the transfer market regardless. Quote Link to comment

Why didn't they try to get that guy who used to post here?! He was the tops! 3 Quote Link to comment

You know some of those scammers make up fake IRS or bank sites? That’s what his stuff seemed like. The site looked legit, but you were reading something that was the equivalent of a ScottyIce rant. 2 Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I missed this yesterday, but Sipple was asked point blank on S&B if Hoiberg was a done deal and he said 'it would take something extreme for it not to happen' at this point. Quote Link to comment
