IU vs UCONN in the Jimmy V Classic UofL vs Texas Tech

The addition of Curtis puts Nebraska one over the NCAA-allowed 13-scholarship limit. According to a source, NU will "see what happens" with NU's roster situation going forward as Isaiah Roby decides between the NBA and returning to school. Roby and Thorir Thorbjarnarson are the only Huskers on the current roster who played in a game for NU last season. Thorbjarnarson, currently at home in Iceland, told the Journal Star recently he plans to return to Nebraska for his junior season. Dachon Burke was also on last year's roster, but sat out to satisfy NCAA transfer requirements. In total, Nebraska has added 11 players (nine scholarship players and two walk-ons) to its roster since Hoiberg was announced as head coach March 30 — a span of 46 days. Starting with April 12, the date on which the Huskers hosted their first batch of official visitors, NU is averaging a new commit once every three days. https://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/mens-basketball/ohio-s-mr-basketball-samari-curtis-commits-to-huskers/article_e5f2e101-fbfc-5cac-9c87-c33749b4b878.html

He did, but I saw yesterday that he backtracked just a little bit and said he meant a Big 12 team would be in it but didn't specifically mean that is who UCONN would be playing... although I agree and think we get UofL again... which is GREAT... I want this to become a heated rivalry.... if we aren't going to pick up UK on our schedule anytime soon we need some bigger name school to be our non-conference Rival and they fit the bill. To be the best you gotta beat the best... They have a Top recruiting class coming in, young coach, this is a rivalry that could bloom and be ongoing... They may have the advantage on a neutral court this season but long term....

"Parading" them across the floor? Gaining extra publicity? Are you freaking kidding me. Maybe my memory is foggy but I was there... I don't think IU did anything, no announcement, no special lighting, nothing on the Video boards.... so the program got in trouble because the fans recognize the recruits and cheered as they went to their seats?

So Brass - Do you think we need more than 4 contributing guards? Or do you think (like USPS) that Anderson is not going to be a contributing guard? I can understand that a little bit more although I am hopeful he can figure it out. I was going back through prior rosters and the only 1 season I could see when we had more than 4 was Cody's freshmen year, we had at least 5 or 6 but I am not sure how much each contributed... only 3 scored more than 5 ppg although 5 played at least 8 minutes a game

Why? Why do we need to count on more that 4 guards to contribute? When was the last time we counted on more than 4?

That didn't take long to come to fruition!

Not many guys who play at that level can say they have had 5 coaches in 5 years.... Would not be a fit for IU but I am curious how he will do being that he was so highly ranked... Could end up going overseas instead of transferring.

VJ King leaving UofL.... former 5 Star and McDonalds AA.... But been a disappointing 3 years for him.... Will he be highly sought after?

Should have been an easy Vote but it apparently wasn't.... Kudos for Fred though still.

Yes, in 2018 the NCAA ruled that Coaches can no longer block any transfer. Conferences however still can do specific things, so the BIG could still have those rules in place (I am not sure).

Coaches have no say any more though right... It is a Class 2 Violation if a Coach tries to stop a transfer. Only Conferences can now set any rules on transferring inter-conference.

Not really DeVonte specific but in general all these guys that are declaring and there seems to be WAY more than past years who are in this same situation in which they are really not NBA Draft prospects as of now.... What is the benefit? Specifically, what do they get to do? Only a select few are invited to the combine correct? What about individual workouts for NBA Teams? Can they all do that? (Assuming an NBA team wants to work them out) What about interviews? I keep hearing they will get perspective on what to improve on etc, but from whom? Are NBA Scouts talking with them? NBA Coaches? NBA GMs? I don't begrudge a guy for exploring all the options of their DREAM job... I am just curious on what all these guys get to do in the process before coming back to college?

Wait? We offered him a Scholarship to stay? I mean I get it that playing time isn't going to increase, so for him I see why he would make the move.... but why would we offer him a scholarship to stay?

Yes come back if not drafted, however if they hire an agent they can't then go through the workouts etc, get the information that they may be a late 2nd round pick and decide to come back at that point. Once they hire an agent they have to go through the full draft process and draft. If through all of that they don't get drafted at all then they can decide to come back.

I am sure they finish the semester (at least most of them)... however I bet there are a few perks to being an IU Basketball player when it comes to parties.... even more so than "former IU basketball player".

Are classes ongoing right now in Bloomington? Heard some interesting take on Romeo yesterday... I have ALWAYS said he is 99.9% gone... my opinion with whatever facts/rumors/info I have... but just to pass along... This person told me Romeo is much more undecided than I would have thought, and to the point that he actually wants to come back for another year. But I was told his parents due to previously explained financial reasons (and maybe other reasons too) want him to go ahead and turn pro. From what was said to me he has been home at some point this week (or maybe still) and those conversations with his parents are going on and they have begun to soften and let him choose his own path.... As I said this would be a SHOCK to me and I don't see it happening.... but could this possible.. this person is a relatively new source so I am not sure how connected he may or may not be....
