Nebrasketball lands Essegian

Nice pickup for Hoiberg!

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Great get

 

[Dean Pope]

Averaged almost 12 points as a freshman. This is a great addition to the squad.

 

[T...Chafes]

Why did he not play as much as a sophomore?

 

[scarletred]

Great get. Was one of the better outside shooters in the league..

Gard sold out for Storr to get as many shots as possible.

Why Gard is back and getting an extension is crazy but just keep watching Badger BB (and FB) slowly decline back to where they were 30 years ago.

Storr committed to KU.

Storr committed to KU.

Yes...and last year he played for Gard at Wisconsin.

 

[Big bo fan]

He hurt his back in the season opener. That with Storr coming in never got back in the mix He had 12 points in 12 minutes against Nebraska in Madison when we lost. He made 69 3s as an all big ten freshman team recipient. That is only 7 less than. Tominaga made this year.

I remember that stretch against Nebraska. He went off.

 

[Redblood23]

Can he defend?

 

[schuele]

Can he defend?

Compared to Lawrence? Not really.

Compared to Tominaga and Wilcher? Absolutely.

Good get in any case though, because he's a big-time three-point threat and that fills a clear need.

Was in Minneapolis last weekend watching baseball and had the unfortunate luck to sit near a couple of UW fans. All they did was bitch about Gard. Had to move.

Also made it out of Minneapolis alive, thank god.

Gard is doing just enough to stick around.
That is a shit job, what Ryan did there was unreal. They were crappy before him and are slowly slipping back.

Wow. This kid can shoot the ball. Was always worried when he was in. What’s going on at Wisconsin that some of their good players are leaving?

The UW guys I heard were complaining about Wisconsin's NIL. So, that's why Storr is leaving, in addition to the factor that when you've got an opportunity to go to a KU, etc. you don't stay at UW. Essegian is probably more in the way of wanting to give a giant "FU" to Gard since he mostly rode the pine last season. Nothing better than a talented guy with a chip on his shoulder.
