Plus I have a crystal ball and it tells me a Final 4 NCAA tourney appearance is on the horizon

Perfect example is on ESPN right now...........Texas vs. Texas A&M....

Anyone watching this shitfest?

Texas' starting lineup is four 4-stars, and one 5-star.

Texas A&M's starting lineup is three 4-stars, and two 3-stars.


Nebraska would beat both of these subpar teams........and Texas will make it to the NCAA tournament. Sad.....really.

And as far as developing players goes, you'd be pretty hard-pressed to find a head coach at a Major basketball program who has had to work as hard as Doc to develop sub-JC talent into what they are now.

Brandon Richardson was the water boy for the LA Clippers........because he was 160lbs coming out of high school and not 1 school recruited him.......not even a community college. But Doc went after him after 1 year of being out of high school and saw the potential some how.

Since then, Richardson has put on 30lbs of muscle......is our best defender, best ball handler, best free throw shooter....leads the team in assists, steals, and averages 37 mins of playing time per game.

Jorge Bryan Diaz (while many people complain about this guy, they don't know how bad he once was) stands in at 244lbs currently. Diaz was 215lbs before Doc recruited him, and he was also recruited by nobody. He has put on 30lbs, and at one point this season led the BIG in blocked shots and rebounds...........and then his condition started with his feet and he has missed something like 7 games putting a dent in his stats.

Before recruiting these two players for example, they were both 0-star athletes according to the experts. After recruiting them, Richardson became a 2-star..........Diaz remained a 0-star. Yet, these 2 players played the biggest roles in upsetting #2 Texas last season.........go figure.

I wonder how many NU fans know this backstory of the team? Not many I'd guess. I'm with you. I don't want to see Doc fired. We would be hard pressed to find anyone better. But I do want to see up raise our game. To at least the middle of the B1G, instead of the bottom feeders we seem to be right now.

Well, we have 7 games left..........and I don't see us winning any of them with Diaz out.

Even Penn State will be extremely difficult with it being on the road en sech.

Tonight we play #22 Michigan @ home..........at 7:30. Tune into BTN to watch a good mauling.

[Jack_John_Mark]

Niemann is so cot damn terrible.........seriously........Doc was really just hoping to God that he would pan out by going over to Germany to pick him up, but it's just not happening.

He is the worst player on the team.

 

[huskers1217]

11-8 now.

that was a nice fucking shot should have had plus 1 there.

 

[huskers1217]

[Jack_John_Mark]

This is seriously good news for us.........when Richardson gets confident we can beat almost anyone

 

[huskers1217]
