Frost is way ahead of Hoiberg. And recruiting rank is better. However, basketball can turn around quick with just 1 or 2 of the right guys and we have Bryce McGowens coming.
Frost and Company have built a roster with a boatload of top 250 players, as well as many other great players that are on the verge of breaking out. His team though, is young. He literally needs more time...for this roster to mature. But for the first time in years...the talent is there.
The football tradition at Nebraska is something special in all of sports and throughout America. That is a huge advantage. But I hope for both coaches to succeed.
No knock on Hoiberg. B1G is far and away the best conference in Basketball. He could be .500 with a nearly top 25 team next year and all Frost would have to do is beat 1 team he's not supposed to and win the winnable games. Bball could turn quicker but still have a harder road to good win %
Frost will never win at Nebraska. Hoiberg had a rag tag bunch competing down the stretch vs BIG. Imagine what he’d do with a top 20 class. Frost has zero buy in from his players
Hoops is easier to turnaround and he's got a 5 star coming in. His team played tough all year in a good conference too. They just need to figure out how to win. Two halves together. Both teams beat themselves a lot, which is a problem. Plus next year's football schedule is brutal. How bout Bolt?
I still have faith in Fred and his system in this conference. I don't have the same feeling about Frost any longer. I am fully in "show me" mode with the football team, I don't believe any offseason talk anymore.
I think next year with the 4 & 5 * ranked brothers, we will see and very nice improvement. I think it is going to be close just because of the amount of games played by the basketball team. An extended slump could hurt the BB team % wise.
Holy Crap was this a tough call. I chose Giannis because if he ever develops a quality jump shot/3 point shot, it's game over for the NBA. Luka is younger and already top 5 player so it's close call
