Nebraska head coach Tim Miles officially announced the hire of former Florida and Northwestern assistant coach Armon Gates on Monday afternoon. 

Gates takes over the spot left by assistant coach Kenya Hunter who left the Huskers for Connecticut in April. 

“I have known Armon for several years and spent quality time with him,” Miles said. “What immediately becomes clear about him is his positivity and high energy. He will be a good role model for our players. He will be an excellent teacher of the game and will do a phenomenal job recruiting, as he’s proven over the years at Northwestern, Kent State, and Loyola-Chicago. We are really happy to add Armon and his family to Husker Nation.”
"Courage; Generosity; Fairness; Honor; In these are the true awards of manly sport."

Tough game for the conference to have UW kick start the games playing at X.

Carsen Edwards was invited to the NBA Combine. I've been catching it on and off since I'm working from home today.

I'm in the horrible position where I want him to do well, but not so well that he remains in the draft lol...

(To be honest, if he gets feedback good enough to remain in the draft, all congratulations to him. Can't fault a kid for going for the money.)

It's now looking like the Terps could lose 2 more players to early departure in addition to Justin Jackson.  Bruno Fernando was already in play for the NBA.  But now, after blowing up at the NBA combine last week, Kevin Huerter is in the conversation as a high draft pick.

Corollary: our coach might have three draftees and yet didn't even make the NIT.  Just furthers the case that some are making...

This makes sense for mid-major conferences.  Hell paring down their conference tourneys to just a top 4 would make a lot of sense too

I think Lacrosse owns the patent on that Conference Tourney format.

And... Be sure you're sitting down for this... I don't want any injuries when you faint from shock...

Nojel Eastern is returning for his sophomore season.

UW is still waiting on a decision from Ethan Happ. I think he's coming back, but making money in Europe could be on the table too. Tough to tell. He's been kinda quiet.

Yeah.  Even though Huerter (who is staying in the NBA draft, it appears)  is the better player, he is more easily replaced for the Terps than Fernando would be...
