Lol what? What does the NBA have to do with Whites production in college? He will never play in the NBA are your boy McVeigh won't either. Variety of moves doesn't mean squat if you don't put the ball in the hole. One guy was good at it last year...the other wasn't. White averaged nearly 17PPG...no matter how much BS you want to spew his stats are out there to be seen. And he produced!
The poison could very well be the head man leading this program...sure isn't looking good for the funny man.
String suite? Want to try again? YOU were the OP who compared the two months ago! And it was as laughable then as it is now
The only poison is the venom you spew for Miles at EVERY opportunity. Losing White sucks but we lost him for his own selfish reasons. I'm not sure exactly what somebody promised him but it must have been good. I was very surprised when he announced that he was coming back and equally surprised that now he's leaving. I'm not sure what Miles could have done to keep him. Personally I thought that it made almost NO sense for him to stay. The kid left KU. Now he's left NU. Is it possible that he wants to go finish his college career closer to home? Is it possible that he thought his touches were going to diminish this year? Yes. He was a reasonably good rebounder, a defensive liability at times, a very good shooter but a shooter that wasn't able to create his own shot. He's also a guy that looked at times like he didn't want to be here. He's replaceable. I've said all year that he isn't an NBA talent. Not even close. Let's just hope that the new guys can make us forget about his 3 pt shooting very quickly.
He's replaceable? Okay..I feel better now knowing that there are just droves of guys still out there in June...that can come in and average double digits for us. So what's the excuse next year when Miles has another losing season?
huskerbaseball has had it out for Miles for some time now. I dunno if he ran over his dog or what but he's jumped all over Miles at every opportunity. White's leaving was for his own selfish reasons and I don't think there's anything Miles could have done to stop it. I was surprised when he announced he was staying earlier. Let's see. You've got a guy that left KU and now has left NU. He sees a newcomer that's going to take shot attempts away from him. He sees schools in lots of fun places maybe closer to home and has likely been getting courted by several $chools closer to home. What's a 20 something to do?
Phew! Well there it is...after another losing season we can all just say "man, well...what else is Miles to do???" Glad it's already started. Sorry Dingle...I'm just not as delusional as you! Miles will have the jokes his year...and you will have the spin machine in full motion...after each, and every loss.
Well now Tom did get us a giant stadium addition that will be virtually impossible to keep filled..........gosh I hope it's paid for. When the sellout streak adds I guess Tom can say, see I told you so. We should have kept Bo...
You're so predictable. IMO, I see progress and IF you want Miles gone you better tell us all who you're gonna replace him with. Who you gonna get that's gonna go beat MSU on the road? White is leaving and YOU have NO idea why but immediately you ASSume that it's MIles's fault.
Of course you see progress...you are blind. Progress to you is making the NIT two years down the road. We beat MSU on the road this year...and still only won six Big Ten games. Your point? We also lost to Samford at home btw. But hey...you knew that. I don't care WHY White left...Miles is manning this ship and in June we have 10 eligible scholarship players! 3 of which are true freshman...and this is a program coming off two losing season. And staring at another losing season...but hey, he's funny! So...extend his contract! Certainly he's not responsible for the continued player and staff turnover. Why would he would? Certainly isn't responsible for the product on the floor.
I've watched the "product on the floor" for roughly 40 years and Miles has put the best "product on the floor" I've seen since Nee's tenure. But you don't like it so fire his ***. Who you got then? I'm just for a little more patience that's all. I see hope in the recruiting this past year.
So that's our expectation now? Just to be better than Collier/Sadler? Eeeek...I hope Eichorst has a different point of view. You see progress in recruiting yet here we are in June...two scholarships short of a full team with a coach who has never...ever been able to utilize all of his scholarships at NU. I like the 3 coming in...but I hate to tell ya, other Big Ten programs have some mighty good recruits coming in as well. With this improved recruiting...we can all expect to make the postseason this year right?
Nebraska played some pretty damned good basketball at times this year. That's what gives me hope. I watched a sh## show EVERY stinking game when Sadler and Collier coached this team. The thing that has killed us for two years now is our inconsistency.
Actually my expectation is that we do make the post season. White leaving makes that tougher maybe especially when we'll be playing a bunch of sophomores and a transfer.
Why are we two scholarship players short? Good question...you would have to ask the guy who has NEVER ever utilized all 13 scholarships. But hey, not his fault....right? I mean he's only had 4 years to do so. Just like it won't be his fault when we finish near the bottom of the Big Ten this year.
And when if he fails....???? Sorry, nothing against Miles as a person...but the results the last two years leave a lot to be desired. It's about wins and losses. There is nothing outside the typical delusional Nebrasketball fan that says we are close to landing in the NCAA tournament consistently. Hell, it's going to be difficult to have a winning record next year. I'll be happy as hell if what you say is true, I just am not seeing how you are coming up with Miles being the man to make us a consistent Tourny team.
