Top 25 too early Basketball poll
- Thread starter Redscarlet
- Start date
Nice to get a mention and might be more respect than we deserve for 1 good year considering what we've lost. I'd be thrilled if we can stay in the top 25
Recognition that Fred absolutely has his formula working, and any team with Pryce and Frager returning should be solid. Can't wait to see this group, should be deeper than last year. Rienk, Sam and JL are huge losses, so we'll see.
This team is much deeper than last year. Huskers have 10 players.that can contribute effectively and maybe even 1-2 more that can help in a pinch. This year Fred had 8 who could play and 1 more in a pinch. We wobbled a bit near end of season due to depth and fatigue issues. If Fred can get them to buy in and teach them well- this could be a pretty solid team- top 5- 6 in BIG which gets us to the dance again.

Michigan, Illinois, MSU are your top 3 in conference.
Indiana will be interesting because of who they added but who knows with their staff.
No reason that NU can't have another great season.

The question is can they team match that chemistry that last years team had.
No question we will have a deeper bench than what we had last season.
Sometimes the bench thing is overrated, assuming no one gets hurt, most coaches really only play 7 and maybe 8 guys.
For the most part that is true, 7-8 guys get the bulk of the minutes. What the depth of guys 9-10 does is give a coach more options that if someone in the first rotation of subs isn’t playing well, or match up well with a particular team, he can occasionally get decent minutes elsewhere.
