Fred Hoiberg, Nebraska: This is a tough one to place. There's obviously a rebuild in Lincoln, and the Cornhuskers won't be projected to make the NCAA tournament -- and while there was also a complete roster overhaul needed, the overhaul was essentially done in six weeks. Hoiberg and his staff will bring in two graduate transfers, three four-year transfers, two junior college transfers and four freshmen. Then there's Robert Morris transfer Dachon Burke, who was already sitting out last season. Only one player who played last season is back. It's unproven for the most part, but there will be talent on the floor -- and Hoiberg excelled with these types of rosters at Iowa State. This team might be closer to tier two than tier four.
