I'm to the point with basketball that I shouldn't even pay attention till the season is about to start and then look to see who's on the team.  It amazes me how many kids transfer.

 

It's probably just me.  But, I lose some interest in the team when you can't get to know a kid and watch him develop.

Some good perspective from Chris Heady, who's rapidly becoming one of my favorite Husker beat reporters.

Honestly, the days of young players "wanting to develop" are probably over.  They want to see how they fit in a team pretty quickly, and the coaches have similar thoughts, as well.  Players want to play.  If they aren't getting that in their current school, and don't see how they fit into long-term views of the coach, they are going to transfer.

Fine....but for me, I lose interest in the players and therefore, the team.

You will get back the interest if the team starts out well next season.

If they do well, I'm sure I will watch.  I didn't say I lose all interest in the team.  But, it's not the same.

In a strange sort of way, if you want to be a fan of a team and the players on the team, the NBA has more stable rosters.

No surprise here. I called this week's ago. This is just Fred being Fred. He believes we can get a higher caliber of player, so he is making room for them. To me, this sounds like good news for both Sanago and Trevor Lakes.

I can't read the article.  Please fill me in.

 

The headline claims this is business as usual for this staff.  But, this staff hasn't coached together yet.  So, how can they make that claim?

Pretty sure he just means under Hoiberg. Poor choice of words.

Oh....the other years are at ISU.  I didn't look close enough and thought they were congruent.

Abdelmassah was at ISU with Hoiberg, and he's the main recruiter for these transfer guys.
