Ed Morrow Jr Transferring
- Thread starter Metalfan
- Start date
Morrow grabbed some boards, but when he came back from the foot injury he just wasn't the same player.
Six pages worth of chatter. Wow.
Dude is leaving because he knows he can do better elsewhere.

Losing a Husker Legacy and the top recruit Miles has ever gotten is about as bad it gets. Fire Miles and Boehm by the end of the week and cut our losses, at this point anyone is better than Miles.
Firing Pelini was easy. Bo was so polarizing. Not firing Miles is about being lazy, shows how little concern SE has for the basketball team, but mostly it is about saving money.
I know my opinion is not valued as I was a staunch supporter of Miles which is extremely unpopular now. That said, I wonder if bringing in a new coach at this point would actually open the floodgates further. It's crazy how the departure of one player who arguably wasn't the best player returning can do so much damage.
I honestly don't know what to do at this point.
Eichorst went on the record saying he's coming back, so if he changes his mind now it appears as though a 20 year old can change his mind.
However if he keeps him, he's showing he's a little tone deaf to the exodus of talent from the team.
He really is in a tough spot. I think next year football and men's basketball will ultimately determine Eichorst's future. If both are average or below I don't see what he can show as a sign that the program is on the right track.

This is a well-put post and actually thought out and fair. Good work.
Accurate
Not extending last year, no announced extension this year, he know Miles isn't going to quit no because the jobs left are scarce and he won't get a job making more money than he makes now. The lack of extension hurts Miles on the recruiting trail and saves on the back end when he does "resign" and the end of next year.
There's just as strong an argument that it could close the floodgates. But that said, the only way Miles gets fired this spring is if there is some big-splash hire lined up that will be a no-brainer, we-had-to-stop-the-bleeding, grand slam home run. I put the chances of that at 0.0%
But I see no downside whatsoever to finally handing Boehm a cardboard box for his personal belongings, to see if a change at that level will help right the ship.
We'll have to agree to disagree. At the time firing Bo was difficult because Bo never had a losing season or won less than 9 games. It wasn't until more time passed that people on the fence realized letting Bo go was a good move.
If your statement about SE and the basketball program is true, then Miles job is safe after next season too. It won't be unless Miles has a stellar season.
One more year is one year closer to the athletic department not having to pay Bo Pelini. That's the only conclusion I can come to.
All of his offensive rebounding didn't do anything to give the team second and third chances to score?

Shhhh. That kind of hustle and effort does not matter. Unless it is a meaningless empty effort play on defense. That kind of hustle will earn you umlimited pt.
I see your point but in a couple of months we'll be fully vested in the B1G conference and getting our full share.
Surely Eichorst isn't waiting on the Pelini payoff to fire Miles and Hire another Coach.
We don't have time to waste if the right Coach is available.
Or if you're an Eddie Floorburn with good hair. Then it doesn't matter if you can't shoot or dribble, you can absolutely kill it at the 4 spot.
In case you hadn't noticed we pretty much lost to everyone after he came back too....the team had obviously mailed it in and just wanted the season to end.
This probably won't be popular but I think Morrow was average at best and losing him isn't going to hurt us as much as people want to make it out to. Yes he rebounded offensively well but how many of them offensive putbacks actually went in for points. He would bumble the ball out of bounds or miss bunnies left and right. His injuries will continue every year, his foot issues will never get better. Hope it does for him but it won't probably. Free throw shooting was horrible his all around game just wasn't there for me besides rebounding. Hope the best for the young man but I can honestly say it is probably best that they seperated ways.
Morrow missed bunnies left and right and yet his FG percentage at the rim was higher than anyone on the team except Horne and a full 10 percentage points higher than the guy who's apparently going to play the 4 spot next year. So if you hate those missed bunnies, you're really gonna love the 2017-2018 roster.
Poor Ed. He better hook up with a team quickly because he's rapidly becoming a Division 3 player right before our eyes.

That's a sign of great coaching.
It appeared pretty obvious to me that his team quit on him. Is that his fault? Clearly the lynch mob would say it's all on him.
IF he really wants to play the wing like he says, he may have to go to D3 or a Juco.....
Probably so, since he couldn't even crack the starting lineup for next year's Huskers and that's clearly the reason he's transferring.*
*DISCLAIMER: there's absolutely no evidence that this is actually the case, but it's being bloviated.repeatedly and therefore must be true.
He might not have been the starter next year or he might have gotten the seniority start only to play less minutes than Jordy. IMO, at the end of the year, Jordy was a better player and deserved more minutes than Ed.
Huh? Do you just like to write stuff for the sake of writing stuff? I will make it simple. Miles is a mediocre coach. Players depart his program on a regular basis. He has never shown that he can put three good seasons in a row. I don't understand any Nebraska fan who would support Tim Miles. His teams have been pretty much dismal except for one year when the Huskers were 19-13.
Is it always a coach's fault for losing? No. Is the coach always responsible for losses? Yes!
The dingle special. Just make absurd statements repeatedly and with conviction. Quality trolling going on.
Do you? I think he should've been canned.
My comments were about your comments on SE having to "man up" to fire Miles. As if he's not man enough to can Miles.
Maybe I took your comments on SE wrong and if so I apologize.
Dingle is really representing himself poorly in this thread.
Im not going to pretend ed was a superstar, but he was one of the brightest parts of a dull team and Nebraska will definitely miss him.
The basketball dept has dug itself quite a hole inside of the hole it was already in.

Well I'll try to be a glass half full guy for a moment.
Watson's game should continue to improve especially now that he will be the go to player next season.
Taylor looked to have one of the purest shots on the team and would be nice if he can step his game up.
Jordy improved more over the course of the season than anyone and he has the potential to be a 10-8 guy.
As much as Jacobson gets a bad rap he's a solid player who contributes on the glass and can score a bit.
Gill was supposed to have potential. Didn't see much of it but maybe he finds his game.
Roby is maybe the most athletic on the team and maybe he gets more comfortable.
Copeland has an NBA body and can score. Let's see how fast he can get in a groove.
I know I'm grasping but I try to look on the positive side of things.

I'm not as high on Taylor as you are, but at least he showed up for the Big Ten Tournament and, with the possible exception of Tschimanga, he was the one guy who didn't just phone it in the last two weeks of the season. Despite his athletic limitations, Taylor was also probably the Huskers' best perimeter defender simply because he took that job somewhat seriously.
Your assessment of Gill is spot on. Despite laughable arguments to the contrary, he played even worse in December than he did earlier in the season (a tall task indeed). I don't want to see anyone get injured, but the team immediately improved when he left the rotation. Maybe next year will be entirely different, but anyone penciling him in as a contributor better have an eraser handy.
In case you hadn't noticed, we beat Maryland and Indiana with Morrow playing 35+ minutes.
