Pretty surprised by this. I would think he'd want to be a part of turning Nebraska into basketball U. OR does he get pushed out by people inside the program because they have plans for bigger and better?? Not sure how that works anymore. Seems like players can leave at will so can coaches push players out in the same way?

He just wanted more money than Fred and co. were willing to pay, nothing more than that. Fred held firm on NU’s offer and Berke and his agent said no.

I have a good friend who works as an NBA Scout. I just texted to ask if he has a report on Orme and he immediately replied "He's awesome, I love him!" He actually wrote about Orme before this season in an article he does looking for hidden gems with NBA potential, and based on his write-up, he definitely sounds like a Hoiberg style player. https://www.noceilingsnba.com/p/no-stone-unturned-2025-the-wings-f7c

I like the 6'9" part.

I like the 6'9" part.

Yes so do I, however...... Nearly every college player that went to the NBA combine showed up 1 1/2 to 2 inches shorter than their college height.

6-6 guards were 6-4, etc, etc... Even #1 pick Cooper Flagg was 6-10 at Duke all year, but at the combine (real height without shoes) was a tad under 6-8.

It just means that a lot of college players are shorter these days than what they are listed at. Been that way for about 15 years.

Well looks like we are going big game hunting

That is a shocking bummer

I could count on him to play exactly the way he plays game after game, but perhaps seeing him taking another step with improvement next year.

If he can score the extra money I guess I don't blame him (maybe just his agent).

I hate that part about NIL

Watching his film. He appears a little better the Mast & he dont seem to play point guard & dribble at the top of the key.

We’ve already upgraded BK and would be an upgrade for mast. In Fred we trust

Supposedly we are in discussions with this guy. 2022 TWolves draft pick, played in 2023 NBA Summer League with the TWolves. Never played in the G League, but is basically a pro overseas.

Personally, I am not exactly a fan of guys like this playing college ball.

Seems like this would cost a few dollars.

But does he hustle? Does he pump up the crowd at the expected level? That’s the real question

Berke is one of a kind! Guessing he is going the college route to make more money.

Not surprising since we took Orme

Its amazing that their are guys out there asking for $6m or more, when we have a team $8m budget.

Just curious, where did you hear 8?

Last year I heard we were under 4 million total. I believe that was retorted by Sipple and a couple others.
