I really like Holman also. He played last year at around 210lbs. He's already up to 222lbs with a goal of 230lbs. He's never going to be a big kid but if he can just get stronger & not get pushed around so easy he will be a big part of the team whether as a starter or a 6th man.Quote:

I'm ready to see Stapleton healthy doing some of those top 10 dunks in The Hump. State basketball needs that excitement again.
This team is filled with the right type of players that Howland likes to develop. He has a history of getting the most out of players who want to work and get better but are talented (4 star types). Where he has run into trouble in the past were the five stars who came in not as hungry to prove themselves and believed their hype too much. Sound familiar?
It's Syracuse or Louisville...My prediction is Louisville.
Louisville is closer to home. Not sure if that plays a factor or not.Quote:

The key is get him to campus but with family.
As much as he was to want us, we need to see what their "Horatio" factor is.
If you read some of the departure articles from Nebraska, may be more of a circus than your normal transfer. But this isn't Howland's first rodeo.
Is he considering visiting us? Agree that will have to happen to even be in the game for him. Right now sounds like we aren't in the game.Quote:

I think getting good senior transfers is tough bc we haven't been good in so long. A 5th year player is generally gonna want to go somewhere they feel they can get to the tourney
I just don't see it working with Brooks unless some things are smoothed over. I know we're still recruiting him & the staff is hopeful but I just don't see it as of now.Quote:
