Fred Hoiberg To Be Named Next Nebraska Coach

[teachercd]

The tweet that @teachercd was referencing in his status. Obviously, the source should be taken with a grain of salt, but....

That account is run (allegedly) by some D1 Asst coaches.

I didn't realize that fred is Lincoln kid.  I could see him in husker red. 

 I believe his grandfather was a former hoops coach at Nebraska?

Hoiberg needs to hire ace recruiters, because he is zilch.

Sort of, it is weird.  He hates recruiting so he will go the JC route, which is smart because the recruiting is so different.

That's the only part that concerns me about the hire.  

If he hires some really good recruiters as assistants (as long as they also can coach) he should be good.

Going JUCO and Transfers probably wouldn't be a terrible option.

Working for Nevada.

You can get tons of good JC guys...and the recruiting process for them is not like the HS recruiting.

There's players worth grabbing for sure but I'd rather he build a team and not have the team be predicated on JUCO's again like we are now

Do we even have a JUCO right now?

Sounds like Severe believes it’s done as well:

Yes but they're not playing .  I worded that poorly.  I meant more of the Terran Petteways, JPJ's and the like as the way of "building" the team

I mean .... those have been our best players.  I would think more of them would be a good thing.

But they're not JUCOs

I would be thrilled with Hoiberg.  I don't care if he "doesn't like to recruit" as some have posted.  The guy won at Iowa State and I think he could win at Nebraska.  I don't care how he would get it done, I just want to see a winning program.  Are NU basketball fans in a spot to complain about how Hoiberg would build a winning program?  If Hoiberg were able to make a few NCAA tournament appearances and win one or two NCAA tourney games, he would be the best coach in Nebrasketball history.
