OT: Nebraska adds Football players for Big 10 tournament

Huskers add football players to basketball team

I know I’ve seen this talked about on here in the past as a joke, but very interesting to see another school actually resort to adding football players on the basketball team because of scholarship issues. Wonder if we have any high school ballers playing for UConn Football? Let’s hope we don’t have to do this!

John Chaney would love this move.

John Chaney would love this move.

He would of gotten Matt Peart a few minutes to commit some wild fouls

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I love moves like this.

Noah Vedral can ball and might legit get some run with Green being the only true guard with regular minutes throughout the season. He was a 1286 point scorer in high school and won three state titles while Brant Banks averaged 11.5 points and 7.6 rebounds in his junior (and last) year of high school ball in Texas.

Here's their lineup for tonight. Numbers in (xx.x) are their minutes per game.

Thorir Thorbjarnarson 6’6 206 (29.1)------Brant Banks 6’7 300
Haanif Cheatham 6’5 195 (32.1)----------Akol Arop 6’5 190 (4.6)
Yvan Ouedraogo 6’8 240 (21.6)-----------Kevin Cross 6’8 240 (18.1)
Charlie Easily 6’2 190 (10.9)--------------Noah Vedral 6’1 200
Jervey Green 6’3 200 (24.3)

I'll be watching. Love unique situations like this and my wife is a 1/4 Icelandic so always fun to root for Icelandic kids (I see you Thorir!)

We should have done this a few weeks ago. Obviously not going to happen now.

[Hurleyman216]

Is Bob Diaco a better b-ball coach than he is a football coach?

I would look to the volleyball team also
