Someone had to fill the void left by our ****** football program.Wow, what a monster couple of days.
Have we become a basketball school?
Berke to Vandy. His newfound fetish for cowboy hats led him to Nashville.
If you can beat 'em, join 'em?

Interesting choice, can’t help to think this seems a little odd.
Good conference, program on the rise, chance to spend a year in a really cool city. I can see the appeal.
I liked Berke's toughness and his 6-ish rebounds will be missed. But I don't feel like he leaves a huge hole.
If Tyler Tanner comes back, he'll get to play with one of the best point guards in the country. And he gets to live in Nashville for a year making 7-figures. Not a bad deal.
Good for Berke. I thank him for all he gave the Huskers the last couple of years!
He picked a great game to watch, because Lawrence went off for nearly 30 points, if I recall correctly. Got less guard-oriented later in the year.
This isn't xbox. You don't just assemble a 12 deep roster of all-americans.
I'm sure Fred would be fine signing a Big 10 starter if you or someone else on this board wants to pay for it.
You need practice players also at least he played Bollis who left never played.
Coleman signs with Iowa. Expected after Leonhardt signed with us earlier today.
I seem to care more about basketball than football right now. I still have little interest in the spring game and didn't really see much for highlights either.Wow, what a monster couple of days.

We will find out during Big 10 play. There are guys coming in who should shoot a higher percentage from 3, but if his replacements get in a shooting slump and we start cussing the team for giving up too many layups and second chance points we are going to miss him dearly.
He provided so much of what this team needs in the Big 10. Toughness, physicality, rebounding, shot blocking, he moves well laterally and guards out front surprisingly well.
This is what I was hoping would happen. Random players would see the sweet music that was our motion offense and realize that they would love to play in that system.
My concern would be the level of competition he did that against. No doubt a better sample than a high schooler but….. The physicality of the B1G is a whole different beast.
Inconsistent offense and some dumb turnovers were Berke’s weak spots but I wish he had stayed. Hopefully he’s getting a bag.
Been injured but he’s a mature body with upside potential. My guess is he fits under the salary cap number and gives us depth. He’s likely a replacement for Garcia’s role.
I really like what I see out of this kid from a team culture standpoint.
Was kinda hoping for an addition of a 6’3” 225 lb point guard with a name like Terrell …
I think we have one more roster spot available. I would like to see an athletic guard who can take it to the basket and get to the free throw line. We have plenty of shooters, but I feel like we could use another guy who can create. Frager is really the only one we have with that ability, unless Lanier can come in and crack the rotation.
Another big guy would also be nice, since we don't know if Uggy will be healthy, and we don't know if Curtis is going to be ready to play a lot of minutes. I'm hoping Curtis can make a big leap this offseason like Aday Mara did for Michigan last year.
But - I'm not sure we have much money left in the budget. It would probably have to be an under-the-radar guy. Maybe Virgilio can find a European player or something.

Physical point. Starts and ends there for me.
Indiana is crushing it in the transfer portal. They could be next year's version of Michigan this year....though I don't think DeVries is anywhere near as good of a coach as Dusty May. But they will be very talented.
And the Big Ten will likely have three Top 5 teams going into next season - Michigan, Illinois, and Michigan State.
