We have a very long, fairly athletic team. Just the young guys Nance, Beran, Young, Buie, Jones, Kopp, Young are big, talented guys. Nance has the highest ceiling of any NU player I can recall. But those 7 guys could definitely be the core of a tourney team in a year or two if a couple guys have breakthrough seasons and the others steadily improve. You can see why Nance and Beran are so highly rated, just a lot of work to reach that potential.

Agree NU has 6 young players with much potential. A decent guard recruit has already been signed. All of these players have much to work on. What a great coaching opportunity. First time NU has size and length and even front line depth as a strength. It always seems to be a couple years away for NU but this team is different. Basically 1 sr and 1 jr with underclassmen who have not played a lot. PS Beran is a Shurna like player.. not as strong but will be a big contributor.

I had zero expectations for this team based on last year's dismal performance and all the doom and gloom I read here, but they're really fun to watch. Nance has developed some sweet moves to the basket, and Spencer is great at threading his way through the D and making things happen on offense. If they keep improving, they'll surprise some teams in the B1G this season.

Agreed. I actually think Beran is the guy with highest upside. Super athletic and can create off the dribble. He gains some weight and we may have a Sam Decker type player

BC is putting a lot of pressure on. Our guys are stepping up. Buie is playing really well!

When this team is on, they're fun to watch. Young and talented. Makes the bad losses a little easier to swallow — but also frustrating, given the potential.
