Also, I know this was mentioned earlier back when Pitchford was going to focus on his school, but what the fuck is with everybody nowadays thinking they have such a great idea for an app? First it was Martinez, and now Pitchford...the chances of developing a hit app and then being able to actually monetize it are about as good as hitting the lottery.

These guys know their stock is only going to go down as they ride the pine at Nebraska next season.

so, what, he's going to be playing some euro ball next year?

i just don't get it, how can he even think he has a shot in the NBA? his shooting percentage went down this past year as his minutes went up. he should stay and learn more.

unless of course there is more going on with Miles and the Husker team than I know about.

Pitchford looked like he had some sort of an outside shot last year, but he is out of his fuckin mind if he thinks he is NBA quality after this season.

There is no way he can play any position inside the 3 point line in the NBA......and he's like a 23% shooter from outside the 3 point line. Soooo yeaaaaa......about thaaaat.....

Still it does not make much sense to me.

You have one more year at Nebraska you could use to try and make your stock rise a little bit, but instead you're going to take the year off to focus on getting your degree so that you can go overseas to play basketball

Basically what I get out of this is that Pittsford and the Nebraska basketball team were not meshing.

He even said that he feels this is in the best interest of the team.

 

[Red_Alert]

How many "strikes" you think some of these guys have left? I'm guessing one.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I don't even see Pitchford making it in the Euro League. Not even close, in fact.

He's maybe good enough to transfer to a Junior College and be one of their star players.

He's not gonna take a year off, and I would guess if the opportunity to play in Europe comes up, he's not gonna get his degree (at least not right now). What happened was he told the basketball staff he was going to do one thing (focus on school) and now he's doing something else.

JJM you said that Miles might be the common factor in all of this.

I heard on the radio that if Rick Patino takes the Alabama job that Miles might go to Minnesota.

Also how can a team that went 13-18 have two NBA players on it.

Also I really want to see Sheilds take the wheel and lead this team.

It doesn't. POSSIBLY 1. Pitchford will not get drafted.

Does Petteway think that he would be able to act the way he did on the court this year and play in the NBA.
