Fred should be fired today

[GBR_Atlanta]

Memory must be short. Huskers won the B1G tournament last season..

Been disappointed so far in the season but they also lost their ace pitcher.

I agree. Everyone knew baseball was going to take a hit when we joined this league. Hoping that adding the PAC schools will actually bring the quality up quite a bit and allow us to get some more West Coast/South recruits in here. There’s a lot of season left. And this team has already got some really good wins.

We are going to the Crown tournament. A new one in Vegas and includes schools from the BIg . Big 12 and Big East . Actually the this crown tournament is considered better than the NIT.

Always cringe when I hear that a coach… “Doesn’t like to recruit.” Yikes, that’s probably at minimum 60% of your job. 😬

Probably more. It’s all about the jimmies and joes. If you can’t get guys you’re useless. Idc how good you can coach.

If Fred could not pull a single PG out of that portal class, but he gets a hall pass because he "might have tried, we don't know" - then the head coach of Nebraska basketball is the single greatest job in the history of sports.

I used Chucky only as a familiar example of what ONE better guard might have done for this team. As you point out, there were other guys out there. There are things that Rollie does well but his weak points cost us some games. Obviously it wasn’t all on him.

That has been a stickler for Fred he’s never had a true point guard

I’ll change my tone. I don’t think the Crown will be better basketball but just but bigger names then the NIT. It smells like the XFL. All the same I’m not even sure Huskers go to the crown, cause they’ll take 2 B1G schools. Looks like one with Ohio State will be one. Minnesota, USC might get in over us. Rutgers, Indiana, and northwestern turned down all

I believe more than 2 big ten teams can go it’s just that the top 2 not invited to NCAA are automatically going. And clearly with 0 in the NIT the rest of us are going to the Crown. Though I feel like we should have our staff out looking for new players for 2025 season instead.

I’m confused. Other teams have accepted invitations to the crown. Are we in, or not? Fred has been on record saying we would be in the post season.

Congrats to Creighton and UNO. Making Nebraska fans of the sport proud. We never had a shot at Chucky. It’s the whole entitlement argument of “He’s from Nebraska so of course he wants to play for the Huskers!” Yeah…no. Huskers were an embarrassment in the final stretch. I think that we’ve seen what we’re gonna see from Fred, I’ve lost faith. I just don’t think that Iowa State Magic is coming here. But I’m cool with giving him one more year. Let’s see how we can re-tool the roster.

Also, Chucky got $2 million in NIL money to go to Louisville.

Fred did not recruit well this past offseason, but unless we are willing to increase the NIL budget significantly, it won't matter who the coach is....nobody will be able to recruit here if we are not willing to spend millions of dollars on NIL. One could argue this team overachieved based on their talent level. Yes, that's a reflection of poor recruiting, but you get what you pay for.
