Huskers going dancing this year
First projection is out and it falls in line with what I have seen through our undefeated start.
Mast - Perfect replacement for Derrick Walker. Any concerns whether we could find a big man that could replicate Walker's post skills and passing abilities have been completely allayed. Also rebounding at an excellent level. Good basketball IQ just like Walker. Also a threat from 3.
Bryce Williams - Great replacement for Griesel. Seems to play bigger than his size and also seems to shoot the ball better than Griesel. Can put up some points.
Josiah Allick - Very athletic big man that plays with high energy. Huge difference from some of the other big men we've seen over the past couple years. Could have started for the Nebraska football team at several positions this year.
Keisei and JL - We already know what these two bring to the table. Keisei coming off a perfect shooting game across the board scoring 17 points on 5 shot attempts. Only saw the extended highlights from the game, but he was playing some of his best ball moving the ball around and being very patient with his shots.
Bench: Wilcher looking to imitate Keisei's role off the bench and has looked good thus far. Gary is a force coming off the bench and looks to have improved his 3-point shooting. Not sure if this is something he can keep up as he bounced one off the top of the backboard last game, but if he can shoot 33%+ it would be huge for the bench scoring. Coleman appears to be playing more of a facilitator role, but he has dropped some dimes out there. And then we have Sam Hoiberg. A real Wes Welker type: Lunch pail, coach's son, another QB on the field, etc. Not your prototypical 3-and-D guy in terms of size but he loves to lock in defensively and can punish you from 3.
Gotta love what you see out there, especially when you look at Creighton failing to score 50 points against Colorado State while getting blown out by 20+ to the Rams. Time to put the Blue vests in the closet right next to where Derrick Walker stuffed Kalkbrenner last year in the Huskers win over the Bluejays on their home court.
