    State of the program

    I align that NU has to catch up in NIL payroll. That's a big lever. But look at Indiana this past year to show that payroll alone doesn't guarantee success. They had a $32M budget for men's hoops this year, and while that had to cover Woodson's buyout, DeVries buyout, safe to assume a large...

    NU Alum Kendall Halpern gets the Jomboy treatment from a recent WLL game

    You don't often see the coach coming on the field, but at least Kendall was a good sport about it.

    Past NU Players Hittin' the Portal Thread

    @Sec_112 Bruh, that's yet another humbling example of the passage of time. I totally remember us dreaming on this dude, and he ended up rolling with Seton Hall for 2 years before transferring to GW.

    Where the Roster Stands

    With regards to Iowa this year - Folgueiras came from Robert Morris, and was the Horizon League Player of the Year, so he was likely a bigger chunk of that $4.5M. However, McCollum brought along 5 players from Drake who were starters/rotation players (Stirtz, Banks, Manyawu, Howard and Combs)...

    Past NU Players Hittin' the Portal Thread

    While I'm not advocating for NU to bring him back, nor expressing regret that he transferred out as I intuit that Collins was all-in on Tre Singleton at the 4, and with Nick logging iron man minutes, unsure how Blake would've gotten the chance. That being said - good on him for putting in a...

    Where the Roster Stands

    Thanks for that reminder about the policy around not being able to have transfers with just 1 year remaining. Sigh. For me, Jake has the 1 locked down. Reid is offense forward, but I do like his quick hands to steal and strip to off-set his smaller stature; Clayton is defense-first, but his...

    Coaching Carousel 2026

    Gah! Good catch - I gotta do a better job following up on links. Here's the latest on Bill Self.

    Coaching Carousel 2026

    Bill Self now out from Kansas! UNC and KU gotta be the bluest of blueblood programs with vacancies!

    Coaching Carousel 2026

    I align with you that if you look at the "bottom 9" of the conference, I could make a case for retaining their coaches. Oregon seemed like an off-year, and they lost their ace Jackson Shelstrand, so I'd expect Altman to come back to form (though, maybe as a veteran coach, he may be "over"...

    NCAA tourney open thread

    Medved only brought Jaylen Crocker-Johnson over from CSU. The other main contributors were transfers - Cade Tyson (UNC); Bobby Durkin (Davidson); Langston Reynolds (Northern Colorado); Isaac Asuma was a Gopher last year and Grayson Grove was a frosh. If anything, he proved that he's worth...

    Coaching Carousel 2026

    Maybe it's early days, but as I scan the B1G, I don't see any obvious transitions happening. How many offseasons has the B1G stood pat?

    NCAA tourney open thread

    I'm probably more impressed, then "hating it" - but perhaps I'll move into the "hate space" as the recency bias of this game fades. McCollum brought with him from Drake: Bennett Stirtz, Tavion Banks, Cam Manyawu, Isaia Howard and Kael Combs. Given that Drake is in-state, that transition for...

    I think Iowa got their guy.

    Will we accept a Crown bid if offered?

    When I saw Nick's post earlier today, and he was using the past tense to refer to his time playing at NU, I figured the writing was on the wall.

    POLL: Do you want to see Nebraska get their first-ever NCAA win?

    Maybe it was a fever dream, but I thought the Cats were in the mix for him this past summer. I was really impressed with him this season - dude has a quick and accurate trigger.
