B1G coaches apparently think Nebraska is the least appealing place to recruit to in the conference

May 20, 2021 by Leave a Comment

-ESPN did a “Sales Pitch” series for different conferences, and yesterday’s landed on the B1G, where coaches said that kids don’t dream of growing up and playing for Nebraska basketball, and that there’s little to no talent in the state

-The anonymous coaches said it will have to be built by transfers at Nebraska…is that the way it HAS to be, or just the way that Hoiberg will do it?

April 14, 2021 by Leave a Comment

Do fans still believe a non-power run offense can win consistently for Nebraska in the B1G?

April 14, 2021 by Leave a Comment

-It’s a big question about the whole operation and what happens going forward. It’s not a great sign that Nebraska’s running backs are either injured or young. Which puts a lot of pressure, again, on Adrian Martinez and receivers/tight ends that have a lot of newcomers

-You ask yourself if Nebraska is going in circles and why they don’t go back to what worked in the past. You want to be like Ohio State but can’t recruit to their level. There’s no reason why you can’t be like Wisconsin. How hard is that to accept? Can everyone get on board for that style or not?

The latest ESPN FPI rankings have Nebraska at 46th for 2021…right behind…BALL STATE

April 14, 2021 by Leave a Comment

-The FPI rankings give Nebraska a 0.8% chance of winning the conference this year…and has Nebraska going either 5-7 or 6-6 this season

-Other items of note: Iowa State is ranked 4th and is labeled a “darkhorse” national title candidate…still incredible to think about. But Matt Campbell has his team in a big spot in Ames

-Other things of note? Northwestern is seen as a potential 8-4 team and just outside the Top 25
