BigRedBuster Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 So, when Fred was hired, I remember lots of discussions about how his offense doesn't need or necessarily want a big guy filling up the lane. Is he readjusting his vision now that he's in the Big Ten? Quote Link to comment

Needs to be able to do a little bit of everything, which it sounds like Kojnets can do. 2 Quote Link to comment

I think this is pretty much it- ideally we’d play 4 traditional “guards” and “forwards” with 1 “big” that can do multiple things like Andre. Stretch the floor, pass, handle the ball away from the basket as needed but also rebound and guard traditional bigs in the paint. It’s a really difficult skill set to find (especially at the collegiate level) but if you get guys that can do it they’re nearly impossible to guard. Andre will be an all-B1G guy before he leaves if he stays four years- he’s got that much potential and talent amongst his skill set. 3 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I really like seeing this. A really good big guy is something Nebraska has been lacking for a very very very very long time. Quote Link to comment

Hedley Lamarr Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Is Wilhelm considered more of a stretch 4/ PF kind of guy or are we assuming Andre, Wilhelm and Oleg will rotate at the 5? Quote Link to comment

He’s a stretch 4 that can play 5 if we go small or in a pinch Quote Link to comment

Hopefully he works out as good as Andre did for us: Washut has mentioned him a few times over the last month. I think he even predicted he would be coming here back in march. That being said, pretty much radio silence. Quote Link to comment

Probably not someone who can play a ton at the 4 until they put muscle on. I dont know if it will be quite as lean as Lat but he will need to muscle up a bit to even be a consistent 4 in B1G play.
