Hoops thoughts after Red-White scrimmage

I’ll just go player by player since there’s only so many:

Brice Williams – He’s a dude. He should be getting love for first team All-B10. He looks stronger and faster than he did last season. When Nebraska needs a bucket, he’s getting the ball

Juwan Gary – A little more lean to probably keep up with other teams 3s, he’s never going to be a box score monster, but he’s going to rebound and contest shots and is gonna be unanimous 1st team All-Dawg

Rollie Worster – If you’ve ever said “I wonder what Sam Hoiberg would look like if he was 5 inches taller” it would be Worster. He’s not gonna light up the scoring sheet, but he’s a cool hand at PG, and is gonna give a ton of hustle plays. Don’t be surprised if he leads the team in things like tipped passes, charges taken, hockey assists (regular assists too)

Berke – I’m not gonna try his last name lol. He’s gonna be a matchup nightmare for most teams. He’s gonna step out and shoot and he can play from in the post too. You could start him at 4 or 5 and be fine

Braxton Meah – Nebraska hasn’t had a dude like this in I’m not sure how long. He’s just massive. You have to go around him to get to the cup. He’s gonna be able to at least hold his own against bigger centers which Nebraska hasn’t had in so long. He’s like a bigger Allick. If he scores from further than 5 feet out this season I’ll be surprised

Connor Essegian – 6/12 from 3, and the 6 misses were all good looks that rimmed out. Nebraska isn’t gonna have a guy like Keisei with the energy and the playmaking, but Essegian is gonna fill in for that shooting

Gavin Griffiths – Really like his game. He’s raw, but he’s got a good frame and is really athletic but doesn’t look like it. He can kind of do a little bit of everything

Andrew Morgan – Kind of like Mast .5 ? He’s gonna be a good guy to mix the front court up and provide more scoring than Meah

Ahron Ulis – Probably the best backup PG in the B10. That’s a huge thing to have. Once Rollie comes off, Nebraska will have a guy with 3 years experience in B10 play at Iowa + his year practicing with NU. Looked good on defense, not much of a shooter

Janowski, Frager, Jacobson: Kind of all give you some okay looks off the bench, but they’re end of the bench guys who may or may not see time. Think in a pinch all 3 would be able to compete well

Overall, I really, really like this team. I think they patched some holes they had, got better at spots and developed a few other guys to be even better. They’ll gonna look a little different scheme wise, but it’s pretty tough to see the talent they have and not be excited
