Nebraska: 6 Seniors, all transfers

[BillyC80]

I didn't realize that all 6 seniors for Nebraska are transfers, including 1 Juco and 5 from other D1 programs (Louisville, Miami, Georgetown, FAU and Winthrop).

Seems to be paying dividends with them in 4th place at 10-4 in the B1G.

Wouldn't mind that for 1 year during a rebuild.

We're a bubble team if the Martin twins from NC State had picked us over Nevada.

I think 3 of them are from Raleigh,NC.

C’mon bro. Stop it.

Thinking of the impact CJ made last year, and wondering what would have happened if we had 3 CJs, much less four or five.

There are only 4 Seniors. Okeke grad transfer, Gill-Louisville, Taylor-Juco, and Laws-FAU.

Laws doesn't play and Okeke only plays if in bad foul trouble or game is out of reach. He is a warm body. Taylor and Gill play a lot.

Palmer and Copeland are Jrs. but they are transfers(Miami and Georgetown.

Husker, thanks for the clarification, but it's still valid that 6 are seniors or better by grade, no? (Plus your roster list on Rivals shows them all as seniors.)

Okeke is the all-time career leader in blocked shots at Winthrop, and was 6th nationally in blocks last year, so he's only a warm body in the sense that your other transfers are eating up minutes.

Lastly, my post was in envy of Nebraska's transfers who are seniors, it was not meant to be a knock.

I certainly did not take it as a knock.

I think they all would be seniors by grade except Copeland.

Okeke has to be the worst offensive basketball player(other than me) in the history of D-1 hoops. He has more fouls than points on the year despite NU trying to use him more earlier in the year. He fouled out of a OOC game in less than 3:00 of playing time once this year. He is a physical specimen but is not a good player.

The 2 players in front of Okeke are not transfers. They came to NU out of high school. Roby and Tshimanga.

Fair enough Husker. Btw, the way Palmer is playing I wonder if you'll still have him after this year.

So far he is saying he is staying because he struggles going left and to work on his outside shooting. We shall see.

 

[BillyC80]

You guys are in a dogfight right now. Who will step up?

 

[BillyC80]

Wow, great block and takeaway...

 

[BillyC80]

Congrats Husker, great win.

 

[huskersalways]

Got pretty lucky considering didn’t make a fg in last 5:00 of game.

Beating this Maryland team, when they're away from home, is not that impressive.

Having said that, Palmer was terrific tonight

Even though this is one of our worst years in memory, Maryland played very well tonight, and Nebraska was just better. I thought the crowd was great and Miles did a great job coaching.

C’mon bro. Stop it.

KenPom has Nevada #19 in the country and they're a huge reason why. They play a ton of minutes and score very efficiently. It's not that crazy.

That was a nice win for Nebraska.

PSU looked great against Illinois.

Would love for both to get some bracket love. I know it’s PSU but I don’t have any hatred for PSU hoops. A10 battles were fun.

Penn State has horrific resume numbers...any and all NCAA discussion begins and could end with their game vs Ohio State this week

Palmer can leave early for pros, no problem with me.

We need to grab 2 grad transfers this off-season. Ideally a shooter and a 3
