Love that one actually.
Probably not as skilled with footwork or moves around the rim, yet. But play style wise that seems to be a reasonable hope for him.

That's a good point. If you can pressure the guards enough, they will cough it up. If they get in transition.....not ideal.
I think the best version of Morez would be Bam Adebayo. Robert Williams who used to play for the Celtics reminds me some of Morez. He really never fulfilled his potential though.
Yaxel I think is going to be a bust. He’s already old for his draft class. I just don’t see anything other than maybe a 3 and D role player. So I wouldn’t draft a guy like that very high.
Michigan obviously great this year but they will need to retool a lot in the off-season with all the talent they lose

Not sure about that either:
Even if they are favored, it would be extremely marginal.
Has nothing to do with Nebraska, but to explain the math theoretically — imagine there’s 3 games in which a team has a 45% chance of losing….
if you were a gambling man for ONE of those games, you’d take that team to win. But for across all three games, it’s significantly more likely the team drops at least one than wins them all.
Therefore, the thought “just because they’re favored they’ll win” …. it might hold true for one game, but it will almost NEVER hold true across a collection of games.
Similarly, Nebraska has 3 losable road games remaining: @Iowa, @UCLA, @USC. Them going 2-1 is a whole lot more likely than going 3-0. I honestly wouldn’t even rule out 1-2.
Knowing how much this staff loves shooting I’d very surprised if Certa isn’t given a Josh Dix level offer at least from Illinois in the offseason.
He’s shoots 37% from 3 on real high volume (over 6.4 threes attempted a game) and 90% from the line. He loves Shrewsberry but maybe he’s enjoy winning more?
Virginia and OSU playing in Nashville coming up is kinda cool.
I’ve been impressing by UVA this year but don’t really respect the ACC. Bowl game measuring stick kind of feel

One mock NBA draft has Morez going pro in 2027 and is projected to go late in first round. I am not sure how his game translates to NBA.
Well slap my a** and call me Sally
I coached against him in HS. We held him to 16 thru 3 and then he had 21 points in the 4th. Lol. He needs to put on some weight but he is a natural scorer
Would not surprise me to see Morez, Mara and Yaxel gone in 2026.
Speaking of Josh Dix, Creighton falls to 13-13 on the season
Dix shooting .313 from three this year
For comparison, the worst shooter in the history of basketball (Ben Humrichous) is at .352
Thank you.
The overarching respect for Nebby has been crazy. They lost back to back games against Michigan and Illinois and there were posts that they'll go 18-2. Purdue won at their place, and still there's comments they won't lose again.
Purdue is coming off an extremely impressive road win @Nebraska.... how many comments are there claiming they'll go undefeated in their remaining games? (I actually think that's more likely than Nebraska doing so; yes they have Michigan, but it's at Mackey, and Purdue's a much better team)

We dodged a bullet yes? Twice imo… Sarr.
Ian Jackson isn’t exactly lighting the world on fire either. As much criticism as Andrej has gotten, he has been very important to our success this season.
Sounds like Dix is going through some tough personal stuff too. I hope being closer to home at this time has made up for a rough senior year bball experience.
Oddly enough on Sarr, his minutes are ticking up again - yet nothing statistically indicates it should. Super curious his offseason path
The Duke orbit seem to think / say he’s one of better defenders on the team and admittedly I have only watched Duke maybe 3x this season but he’s been invisible when I have
Same story with Nebraska.

Iowa is not in a great spot right now (LvilleILL1)
- Des Moines, IA
UGLY scenes in Providence today.
While 4 Johnnies were tossed against Providence, it was a terrible Flagrant 2 against Hopkins kicked off a fight with players leaving the bench. Later, another Providence player was tossed for an intentional shove on a St. John’s player in the air heading to the hoop.
I don’t see how Kim English makes it to next season. Not only is Providence not good, it looks like English has lost control of the team.

Iowa...
The craziest part of this whole ordeal is Powell's haircut...
Iowa has a bad habit of getting off to some horrible starts.
Hopefully Tevion Banks isn't done for the day.
Ohio State might be cooked this season. Diebler’s seat is going to be very hot going into next season.
