7'2" and can pop 3s. Way more polished than his old man ever was.

I think I read Oregon now has a top 3 class? Yeah...for those who are dreaming that Altman may want to return home? Not going to happen unfortunately.

Him reaching up to dunk looks like me reaching over to use a paper towel dispenser.

Too bad he didn't want to go with a real national power in basketball and play in Lincoln.

Altman could always coach - dude was a witch doctor in the MVC tourney every year. He is now at a place that is helping him get top shelf talent. Good for Dana - probably best decision he ever made was to pull out of the Arky coaching job.

Hard not to like Dana.

Nebraska plays against UCF's 7'6" center on Thursday.

The fact that Bill Byrne didn't hire Dana after he canned Danny Nee will always be bemusing.

Do we know that he didn't try? On paper Barry Collier looked like a good hire. Not so much on the court.
