To be fair. Hoiberg started before transfers could immediately play. He also took over a roster that decimated by Tim and his obvious impending firing. Then he ran smack dab in to COVID recruiting. Cig had almost a full squad of older guys from a ranked successful team who came with regardless of their high school ranking. Fred had nobody to tag along.
That’s not discounting Fred’s early struggles, but BOTH clearly benefited by NIL and immediate eligibility these last few years. BOTH are very good coaches who kids want to play for.
TBH i knew, but it always felt like BB was doom and gloom every season. Given years 1-3 were pretty terrible, it's obvious W-L wise there has been improvement through his tenure. I'm so happy for him, the team, and as a fan.
So what? They're not in the same solar system defensively as Nebraska. We're 12th in defensive efficiency, Ohio State is 126th.
For the record, I wasn’t comparing anyone. I never said Rhule or Cignetti. You guys started with that. I just complimented Fred and wondered if his success would cause other fans in big 10 to call for their coaches to be fired out of jealousy. This is a basketball thread. If you inferred something about Rhule or Cignetti then that is entirely on you and your thought process. Maybe you noticed some hypocrisy in your process.
If you're going to sanctimoniously wag your finger at the big meanies who think Matt Rhule is underperforming, at least be man enough to own it. Don't shrivel up and pretend like you were actually commenting on basketball in a basketball thread.
Realize this guy is a '27, but it's gonna be interesting to see the roster Fred puts together for next season. I already like the HS guys and the Huskers should be pretty attractive in the portal.
You a mod now? If you don’t like looking like a hypocrite, don’t act like a hypocrite. Sorry if I hurt your feelings, buddy.
Fair enough. If Rhule wins 20+ games this season I'll shut my mouth.
MUST take advantage of this season to let the talent floodgates open wide!
It is nice that it seems Fred isn't resting on this success. If you find players willing and able to play defense that are also highly rated he could have a juggernaut.
He’s not visiting due to the weather, supposedly he’s in a couple weeks
i got this feeling that mast had his food purposely poisoned at the restaurant the team ate at in Michigan before the game on Tuesday night
Apparently he had stomach illness on Monday so it wasn’t eating in Ann Arbor before the game.
Guessing he had the flu.
