Hoiberg or Hoibarg or whatever his last name sounds like somebody down the street in SSC.

Huskers to the end. We go down with our own.

love this roster construction so far.. 6'6"-6'8", highly active, ball skills for all 5 on the floor, long arms.

2019, fellas. basketball is a different game, and I couldn't be happier Coach Hoiberg recognizes an opportunity to play fast, shoot 3s and make teams adjust to NU for once instead of trying to matchup with lesser talent.

push the pace, space the floor, let it fly! should shoot 15+ more shots than last year and I hope every one of them is a 3. let teams play big & try to keep up!

I do like the tall guards, that 6'8 guard from Slovenia can make the 3s, a real sleeper.

Yeah, that team was pretty bad his freshman year. I think they had some bad coaching issues. Stevenson put up some nice numbers for a freshman though.
I've just seen a little bit of tape on him, but, man, I think I love his game. 6' 6", strong, explosive. Decent shooter. Seems like he's got a bit of Justise Winslow to his game. Or for us NU hoops oldies, Bernard Day.

This what is so exciting about Hoiberg. In the past I'd see Miles get commits and it would always be tepid. The kid would have offers from Woffard and Northern Illinois and he couldnt shoot a lick and Id wonder if he could ever produce in the B1G. I havent had that feeling with any of Hoibergs guys and thats damn exciting.

I was pretty excited when Miles landed Morrow and Watson that one year, but other than that the commits were pretty "meh", aside from some of the transfers.

With the exception of 2014. His recruiting was very sub par. Nick Fuller, Jacob Hammond, and Brady Heiman all come to mind when I think of Miles' recruiting skills.

Cant be upset about some of the xfers miles pulled....petteway, jpj, cope, pitchford. Those were all really talented guys.
Yes but who did he surround those guys with? Miles could get one or two guys but he would surround them with guys like Nick Fuller so it was all on those guys to play hero ball in the hopes that they'd drop 30 and we'd win 60-58 in the end that only worked about half the time.

Overall, he failed. No doubt about it.
