I'm a middle school teacher, so technically I am not out of middle school. I will be canceling this account posthaste.
I think you are being a little naive about the roster changes under Freddy. He flips his roster a ridiculous amount EVERY YEAR.
If you look at my post, I intimated that. Not saying it's great for the game, but given where Nebraska has been and what I'm sure his goals are for the program, this is his approach. I don't think it is just Hoiberg. I think the game is somewhat trending toward a case where we could see teams with a mix of maybe 50% of a 7 or 8 solid player roster being four year players, and the rest a mix of via transfer portal, JC (lesser now). It is also why guys like Gabe who are really solid guys and players, are great to have. A reliable four-year player. But I don't think a lot of teams will have the traditional four-year roster, with just a few xfers. It may not look right, but I think Nebraska fans will like it if there is a winner on the floor, and will overlook the roster changes.I think you are being a little naive about the roster changes under Freddy.

It makes Creaning look like a loyalty program. Here is what an article says about the program:
"Five days after the Nebraska men’s basketball season ended, the annual roster reshuffle began."
This is what he said just after the B1G Tournament:
“We’re not going to have a whole new team next year where you’ve got to introduce a system and pretty much start from scratch, which is what we’ve done the first two years,” Hoiberg said after the Big Ten tournament.
The guy treats his players and the team like it is a new NBA franchise filed with rent-a-players.
Why would any high school player ever choose to go to Nebraska? You know your coach is going to turn over at lest half of the roster every year and he has no interest in developing any players.
His program is the perfect example of what is the worst in college basketball.
Nebraska basketball roster turnover begins after Fred Hoiberg’s second season
Nebraska fans learned of three departures on Monday, but NU coaches still anticipate far less roster turnover last season, when eight of the team’s top 10 scorers either graduated oromaha.com
Walnutt?
He's losing less than 5 points a game. Players don't like their roles: End of the bench and or minimal playing time they are free to go.I think you are being a little naive about the roster changes under Freddy. He flips his roster a ridiculous amount EVERY YEAR.

Thought there were many names. Just one?
Love all the juicy gossip you've been sharing with us.
thanks for the tidbits!
If I were Utah, I'd want Smith, too. He could return them to Majerus-like past prominence.
He's not taking any job before Monday/Tuesday at the earliest.
If it's between Gates and Smith, give me Smith. He wants to be here and will be more likely stay if he has success. I also think he has a higher floor and similar ceiling to Gates.
Easy, correct answer. Just that simple.
No offense to you Bad ... but this Tweet looks like it comes from a nobody. Doesn't even have enough followers to qualify for an "official" account symbol. I don't put much stock into this.
I really don't know if he's plugged in, but a few others on the board have relayed his messages, so he's got me curious. Passed along FWIW, buyer beware.
He was spot on Fleck hiring.
Old Tweets Exposed.
Why you gotta get our hopes up like this.
man....i had to read that like 15 times.....and was getting pumped....then seen the year! dang it
I don't know exactly who Greg Flugaur is, but he is plugged into the U somehow. He is usually right when he has talked about things like this (coaching rumors, schedules, etc.) at the U and the Big Ten. He's got an inside source.
