Not quite that excited.... :lol:

but at the end of the day, just win!

Someone I met last night told me Hoiberg is already a done deal. Just waiting for miles to get fired to make it official.  I may have had a few by this point but I believe he told me $4 mill/yr for 7 years.  Take it fwiw.

Do we even have a JUCO right now?

Jervay Green

We don't have him right now.

 

[seaofred92]

We don't have him right now.

If you mean on the current team, yes.

If you mean as part of the program then I’d count him

If the Hoiberg hire is true, it's a massive step in the right direction for the basketball program. Proof that the program is being taken seriously by the administration. I still believe, when you consider the facilities and fan base, Nebraska basketball is a sleeping giant in college basketball.

Moos can have all the damn c$%ktails he wants after Scott Frost then Fred Hoiburg.

First, if this is a Jim Tressel kind of rumor and we end up with the Mike Riley of college basketball, you can all go F yourselves!

Secondly, this rumor is picking up steam and will surely be in the heads of the players, and Miles himself, before Wednesday's game. Does this sort of distraction inspire the team to play hard in the NIT? Does it divide the team? Does someone in the athletic office have to address the situation directly with Miles and the team before the game as the rumor builds? How will everyone handle the immediate impact of this?

In the context of replying to this post, no.

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

I don't know. You never know how a team will respond to an imminent coaching change. They could play hard and have Miles go out looking good or they could fold or give up. I hope they play like they did in the Big Ten Tournament because that is the type of ball we like to see.
