keyontae said he had an offer from N. i guess he and media followers were lying.
After graduating from UF in May, Johnson entered the transfer portal, declaring himself medically cleared to play. He chose Kansas State over offers from Memphis, Nebraska and Western Kentucky. Gator Sports
well, you can always play the "jealous" card, i guess. i'm clueless as to what i'd be jealous of, but hey, it's a N fan forum.
What did I say that was inaccurate or had any relevance to KSU basketball history?
You answered your own question. KSU is one win from the Final 4 and you are on the Nebraska board. Insane jealousy is the only reason a KSU fan would be giving Nebraska a second thought today.
Kinda pitiful, but expected from KSU fans.
you said neither has the resources of N. well, tradition is a resources, see N football. so, that statement is inaccurate unless you believe tradition isn't.
actually, i've been here long before mbb season and explained many times that i grew up with N people in sioux city and had teammates who played for osborne. thus, my continuing interest in what N fans have to say.
I don’t consider tradition a resource, because tradition or lack thereof had nothing to do with NU’s hoop failures, nor did it have anything to do with KSU’s success this year. KSU’s basketball tradition is even more ancient than NU football tradition. It’s not relevant to the discussion.
Oh I remember you from before. You are a lying sack of **** that is obsessed with Nebraska.
Here are the schools who have been to more Elite Eights than #KState:
Kentucky
North Carolina
Kansas
Duke
UCLA
KSU has been good, not great, over several time periods
Before being blinded by a statistical plum know that Kansas State has been ranked as the 27th most successful college basketball program.
Better than a hot poke in the eye (think Nebraska) but they are nowhere near a blueblood or elite program.
Idk how they do it man but they’re doing it. A truly marvelous swindleI am right thanks. Klieman has a ceiling. I don't know about Rhule. That's the exciting part
Thing is, though, both ksu and Creighton have basketball history and some tradition. And Creighton Is a basketball school with good donors. If Nebraska cared about basketball it would act like it.
To say Nebraska doesn't care doesn't cut it when you look at the money they are throwing around to the coach. I'll state it again that Nebraska needs to find an identity they want to be in basketball and go full on that way. I thought the Cincinnati/San Diego St was the way to go for Nebraska as you don't need high star players to be successful. Get long athletic tough players and stick them in the weight room and develop men. This type of team will work in the BIG and you can have success.
Sticking with a coach after five years while still spinning his wheels going nowhere is caring? Maybe saying that Nebraska doesn’t care is a lil far-fetched, but when you see how easy your conference teams get bounced in the tournament and yet you can’t make an NIT bid, what does that say? And I don’t know if you need McDonald’s All Americans to win, but you do need dudes. And Nebraska never has those.
Part of that is having no identity. What type of ball does Nebraska want to play? Pick the type of ball you want to play and recruit to that identity. I think the tough physical hard nose defense is the way to go for Nebraska personally, but find something and go with it. Nebraska has no idea what they want to be.
But Texas (or Miami) and UConn will meet in the semis.
One of three teams - FAU, San Diego State or Creighton - will play the winner of that game for the championship.
