Moses was actually getting better in mid-December, when he broke his hand. While he played a little after that, it was a huge setback for Moses, and a moderate setback for the team. Leslee Smith hasn't been mentioned, but blowing out his ACL during the summer before his senior year was his demise, rather than not being developed.

But Moses was never a guy that was going to be an offensive plus down low. Rebound and putback was his scoring forte.
Smith's injury hurt though. I think he could have been a factor offensively.

This makes me feel good:
This gave me a little concern based on past issues with recruits:

Outstanding job recruiting this kid by the staff, especially Kenya! I think he will be a good player for his sophomore-senior year, but what can we really expect from him this year? Maric is really the only player in recent history we can compare him to.
Maric came to Nebraska at 6'11" and 255/260 lbs and probably finished his last 2 years here at 275 lbs. Jordy has a similar body type, I'd say Maric was a little more built, Jordy probably longer (has a 3" longer wingspan). Based on Jordy's body type, I'd like to see him at 250-255 lbs.
As a freshman, Maric averaged 20.8 minutes, 8 points, and 6.3 rebounds. Maric was considerably more skilled offensively, but probably not as athletic. Maric was good rebounder mostly because of strength and I.Q., Jordy looks strong and fairly athletic in the film I've seen. I'm not saying that Jordy's basketball I.Q. is low by any means, but one thing Maric doesn't get enough credit for is how smart he was on the floor. He was probably the best passing post player in the country his last two years here.
Two different coaches and conferences obviously. Using that as a rough gauge though, I'd be really happy with 15 minutes, 5 points, and 5 boards a game. Wouldn't you guys? At least I hope we can get that out of him. It would change the dynamics of our defense for nearly an entire half. That would also allow Morrow to play the 4. Jacobson may still start at 5 and slide over to the 4 at times.

As a freshman, Maric had already played at the international level for Australia, and had been playing basketball on a national level for years at AIS. He was way ahead of where Jordy is. I'd be happy with the bolded above. Just letting Morrow and Jacobson play at 4 sometimes would be great.
BTW - new guys are added to the roster.
It will be HUGE imo.
so why are you undercutting jordy by an inch? 6'11".
Talk to 247.
look at his official records...he's 6'11".
Not going to do it.
why not?
Because its not that big of a deal to me.
