BigRedBuster Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Soooo...at this point in time, Thor and Burke are the only scholarship players on the team from last year? Quote Link to comment
HS_Coach_C Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Well I guess that's one way to change the culture. Dynamite and start over. 1 Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 it seems obvious that Hoiberg doesn't really care about the roster for next year. He will have "his guys" get plenty of playing time and experience and look forward to 2-3 years down the road, and fill in the roster with "better" players for 2-3 years in the future.

I don't think there's anything "obvious" about next year. He's getting his players in place at the pace he's allowed, and I have great faith they will be at least competitive next year even with an entirely new roster. I do think, simply because of timing, that next year will be his toughest year, but I'd be genuinely surprised if he was "setteling" his first year while waiting for future players.

ECisGod Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 If (When?) Roby doesn't return, does that make Thor our post player? He would be one of two players over 200 lbs with the other one being Green who's only 6' 3". I know Arop played post in HS, but he's only 190 lbs & Kavas is 6' 8", but he's a 3 of the bench kind of player and also only weighs 200. Quote Link to comment

With Hoibergs style, I dont think he is looking or needing a true post. He wants guys who are athletic and can run the court. We will still have some size and just ask those guys to be able to rebound. That being said, we still have a major need for 6'9-7'0+ guys. Quote Link to comment

Hoiberg likes his big guys to be 6'8 & 6'9" and athletic, but I think he knows that he will need some girth to play post D in the Big10. Quote Link to comment
SouthLincoln Husker Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Of course, we could press full court and cut down the touches by the he big guys. Quote Link to comment

Like Roby, but so far he hasn't managed to get anyone like that. Not saying he won't, but it could be interesting next year if he doesn't. Quote Link to comment
