2020-2021 B1G Basketball Thread

I'm hearing it will be NU (from an NU fan I know well). UW just offered another kid at the position over the weekend. Maybe coincidence, maybe not.

The Rivals UW GUY turned his pick to UW, so that's about all we need to know.

I still think they should go grad transfer for that spot and kick things down the road a year, but maybe if they get a more developmental player, that would fall into place. That backcourt is gonna be very green.

I know they offered a dunker with a Kansas offer, so that's super unlikely. There's a tall guy with a French background who also seems ideal.

Michigan with another basketball transfer, although I can't say I've ever heard the name Cole Bajema before.

[MichiFan87]

He looked decent in the limited minutes he played (primarily at the end of blowout wins, of course), at least offensively, but he couldn't even get minutes over Nunez for whatever reason.

It's not surprising but strange that it took until May to figure this out, which is frustrating because now all the good grad-transfers are gone. I realize the redshirt requirement for regular transfers could be eliminated soon, but I'm still skeptical of if Michigan will be able to take any good transfers if those players aren't able to get their credits accepted.

The back court was already looking somewhat problematic and this just exacerbates that. Hopefully Livers will at least decide to return soon....

BTW, the guy picked NW. Nice pickup.

Grad transfer would be good for that spot. Otherwise, bank it for 2022. Either option helps to balance the classes.

Surprised nobody in here is talking about the NCAA actions against Kansas, Louisville, NC State, OkSU, South Carolina, USC, and TCU. They have all been served with notice of allegations... 

Apparently there are (5) Level 1 infractions alleged against Kansas, including LOIC. Louisville with only (1) Level 1 infraction alleged.

There's been some talk on it. Kansas is being really uncooperative, and quite arrogant.

So the NCAA is going to really hammer Oklahoma State, then?

I hope they go that way if it comes to it, but looking at some of the 2021 shooting guards they're eying, I'd take 'em.

Granted, if they can't get one of four or so guys, no need to take them just to take them.

I'm sure Iona is about to get hammered for Louisville's issues.

Does any of the oSu stuff translate to Underwood at Illinois?

[bayareabadger]

I'm sure Iona is about to get hammered for Louisville's issues.

I mean, they walked into that one

Yeah, I don't know what they thought was going to happen there.

Lincoln - Nebraska men's basketball coach Fred Hoiberg will participate in the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Championship Webinar Monday afternoon.
