Stadler a whole tier above other SLTHs imHo. Really giving it to Bezedalackek today.

too bad he lost in boulder.

Capel is the best SLTH.

They are a thin team, though. I'd love to play them again.

But if I'm a NU fan I might be ticked.
Sadler announced after two exhibition games that Richardson, a 6-foot point guard, and Alex Chapman, a sophomore transfer forward, would redshirt. The decisions to redshirt McCray, a 6-foot-6 wing player, and Alonzo Edwards, a freshman forward, came Sunday.
The redshirt decisions are better for the program’s long term, Sadler said. When it’s not likely Nebraska will recruit a Kevin Durant-type, freshman-to-NBA player, it’s best to build for the future. He referenced Purdue and Gonzaga, schools that have built programs with fifth-year players.
“I’m hoping our fourth and fifth-year players are going to be better than North Carolina’s freshmen,” he said, “and the experience of four or five years will overcome that freshman phenom that we’re going to play against.”
But when Sadler sees players in street clothes who could probably give his team an immediate boost ...
“No question that Brandon and Toney would be in the top eight,” he said. “Those two guys can really shoot the basketball.”
Edwards was a player with offers from USC and Texas Tech. McCray had offers from Washington State, Baylor, and Georgia. So you've got two 3-star players you left on the bench on a 7-9 Big 12 team and had 4 single digit league losses.

Our three redshirts (Clemente, Samuels and Hoskins :pray:) are better.

They might have been able to make an NCAA this year if they didn't redshirt those guys because Maric was still there. That alone would have been worth playing them this year but Maric will be gone next year.

Exactly. All that begging to get Maric to stay when he gets the job and how does Sadler reward the kid for his senior season...redshirt about 1/3 of his roster. Nice touch. Memo to Doc, you've already got a pro-type player on your roster. May as well maximize it. The stars may not align like that again.
