I like this one.. What does Nebraska say the "N" on their helmet stands for? A: Knowledge

Jump shot looks pretty good from midrange when he does shoot it. Also seems like he plays with some fire too which I like to see.

Just when I thought I couldn't get any more excited for the upcoming year.... - Leron blocking Smith is awesome. Love the Freshman trying to take it to the upperclassman. Wasn't a soft slam attempt by any means either - OH MY EBO spin move - Finke looks very comfortable at the high post spot -...

Is it possible to revoke a scholarship from a previous coach/year. For example, if this year plays out poorly for one or two guys, can Underwood say "sorry buddy but after your play last year I don't think you are a scholarship player on this team next year." Basically forces the young man to...

Would take all three of them right now. High flying athletes playing with emotion. Hellems has a nice looking jump shot. Okoro and EJ swat everything in sight.

Wonder if Smith's comment “It’s exciting, and I know other players and recruits will want to be a part of it,” Smith said." is reference to another elite Southwestern Conference recruit E.J Lidell...

Football commitments make zero sense to me. I actually think it teaches these kids bad habits. NCAA should figure out a solution to this madness. These kids shouldn't be able to "commit" to a school but still tell coaches to recruit them. If the NCAA really cares about student athletes, then...

I Like his growth and athleticism. Would like him to sprout a few more inches to be that athletic big man that is so fun to watch. Hope his personality/home situation is more in line with the Mark Smiths of the world and not Jeremiah Tilmons

I agree it can be done without athleticism. You can probably list countless Big10 post players that succeeded in NCAA/NBA without being athletic. Hell Wisco has one every year it seems like. I am just saying in today's game being able to put your elbow in the rim makes up for laziness or lack of...

He seems to have solid post moves and is agile for a 6'10" guy. I like his game from a fundamentals standpoint and you can't teach size, however, when watching highlight videos of 6'10" guys I would like to see a dunk or ten to show some athleticism and playing above the rim. Seems like Morgans...

Ayo's form is brutal. I know he has mentioned it as something to improve on but it is impressive to me that he is a top 30 player with a shot that ugly. I understand that players with ugly shots have been successful before (Lonzo Ball shoots it from the wrong side of his body and starts at the...

Bulls were just on the clock and I was hoping they took Evans. Would be great for Underwood to sell in Chicago market. Too bad they didn't but congrats to Underwood for coaching a pro

This kid's film looks great. Yes he is skinny but he plays above the rim, is athletic and isn't afraid to throw it down. I would argue those are skills that aren't easier to teach and throwing some weight on the frame with Fletch should be low hanging fruit. I am on board with this kid

I see what you did there.... I'll pack some beers in my Coleman Cooler and watch this one unfold...

Can we get clarification on who some of these players are? Specifically: 0:13 1:07
