He sees Mack killing it in this offense; he should be licking his chops
Fred will have to fend off some blue-blood programs to land him, but you never know.
Millard North is at home against Millard South this Friday night if anyone is interested in watching him perform..
Believe they've been turning people away, so get there early.
Meekly raises hand. It wasnt so bad with pike.
One player is enough to make a difference in basketball.
Gotta keep this in state.
Gotta keep this in state.
Two words: Chauncey Billups. He turned down Kansas, Duke, et al, and made Colorado relevant for a couple of years. We need our Chauncey Billups.
Playing nerf basketball in the basement listening to the call on the radio: Carl Renfro, Stan Cloudy, Bernard Day, Anthony Bailous - some good memories.
According to Robin Washut ( Rivals )
The good news for the Huskers is that despite all of this national attention, Sallis and his family have expressed plenty of interest in being a hometown hero.
“It’s my home state,” Sallis told HuskerOnline.com last month. “My family could come watch me play and it’s really close to home. Really, the coaching staff, I know (Hoiberg’s) background is really good and he’s an NBA coach. That’s always good having that connection…
“Playing in front of my family and like my friends. That's really big, and that's one of the things I’m looking at during recruitment. So it's really big.”
I was similar but it was Andre Smith and Jack Moore!!!
Since you chimed in.. 1965-68 Nebraska teams remember listening on the radio or the Big 8 games on Saturday’s on TV when they had 2 games..
names like Tom Bacck, Stu Lanz, Nate Branch, Bob Gratopp, Tom Scantleberry I remember in my youth..
Remember games against Jo Jo White of Kansas and Cliff Meely from Colorado..
As long as he doesnt go to Creighton!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Doesn't appear he has much if any interest in the Jays. My biggest fear he gets caught up in their one year of success. Hears hoping Hoiberg has explained they will not be able to touch NU starting next year.
Is he a 1 and done type talent? Might be difficult to keep him at NU away from Duke.
not sure, but certainly elite. no Duke offer yet but does have a KU offer.
Seems like KU and Gonzaga are the biggest threats right now.

I remember that in the late '60s, all the games were broadcast in color unless it was from Balch Fieldhouse in Boulder. Something about the lights there didn't allow the color cameras to work right.
I’ve seen him play twice. He’s young mind you, so a lot of growing to do yet. He’s got a nice game in traffic but he’s far from polished as a 3 pt shooter, IMO. I think he’ll say all the right things regarding the local schools and may honestly consider the Huskers/Jays at some point but won’t fault him he chooses a basketball blue blood.
With Jay Randolph and former Big 8 All-American Gary Thompson calling all the action.
One year? That’s funny. Can’t speak to the future, but outside of last year, Creighton has basically owned the Huskers for the last several years.
I hope the the Huskers are able to make it a competitive rivalry. Again, i have no skin in either game so I don’t care who wins.
Don't blame you. Haven't watched NBA in years. But love the Huskers. Don't have to be an NBA fan to root for the Huskers. Come on in the waters great
i mean KS would make sense, however if he goes to KS he won’t be a home town hero there. It sounds like he is kinda feeling like being the home town hero, the basketball version of Scott Frost. I get this is just one article and honestly haven’t followed his recruiting or basketballs recruiting very much, but it sounds like her is really liking the idea of playing for UNL, and maybe even Scott can get in his ear and let him know that leavings the state was such a bad idea that he chose to come back home... and once he was home he got that home town hero and he was able to move onto the pros, and even come back to coach... I get it two different sports but same concept, if you leave you won’t get to be the home town hero, or a hero, but if you stay you can really help build this team and really help your future as the pros will see you as the reason the program turned...
I believe Fred can handle this without any input from SF.. FH was a home town hero in Ames and he is the one that has to sell him on the X’s and the O’s of his fast paced offense...
