I went over to see the B/R pages for Husker football and basketball and it just looks like they aggregate stories from other sites (lame). I can use my Huskers Twitter list for that. The amount of content on The Athletic is pretty insane. I have about 5-7 new articles just about the Cowboys implosion on Monday Night Football alone. They don't have Nebraska-specific writers yet, but they are supposedly coming. They have 2 of the best college football writers: Mandel and Feldman. Their mobile app is sweet too. I would recommend at least looking around. You should be able to do a free trial. And here's my referral link if you decide to join! Referral Quote Link to comment

teachercd Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I said it before...Roby will be better off without Palmer and Copeland. The team won't be but he will. He is so passive (not in a bad way) that he totally defers and can't be the alpha dog yet. Honestly, I don't know if he has that alpha dog in him, not all people do. I could see him in the NBA and sitting on a bench...getting 7-10 minutes a night for 10 years. Quote Link to comment

As you say he doesn't appear to be aggressive and try to impose his will. The biggest issue I see is his inability to make fast decisions on the fly. He isn't strong enough to always get to his sweet spot down low and if he can't dunk on the drive his percentage is low. Quote Link to comment
SouthLincoln Husker Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Probably see Roby at the 4 next year, with Heiman at the 5. 1 Quote Link to comment
Savage Husker Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 The stat line says 2 blocks but the highlight video credits 3? Either way, he is a ton of fun to watch Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) Time to re-recruit Isaiah Roby!! A couple of salient quotes from the article: Quote LINCOLN — Nebraska forward Isaiah Roby has put his name into the NBA draft, the junior told The World-Herald on Saturday. Roby will not hire an agent and will keep his options open, he said, meaning he could return to NU next season. Hoiberg has already called Roby, who said he likes the hiring of Hoiberg as Tim Miles' replacement. "I mean, obviously he's got a lot of success in college and he's coached in the NBA, played in the NBA, he was an executive in the NBA, so yeah I think that's the type of person that can really turn this program in the right direction," Roby said.

Vizsla1 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I really think, and selfishly so, Roby would benefit from a year under CFH. Quote Link to comment
seaofred92 Posted March 30, 2019 Author Share Posted March 30, 2019 Would love to see him here but with one year left and a new coach it’s prob best to go. Seen him as a mid to late 2nd round pick Quote Link to comment
