Good news!

This is the coolest thing I have read in a while. Bernard starred in the first Nebrasketball game I ever saw. What a smooth player.

Does Keith Neubert have a kid? What about Richard van Poelgeest? Pete Manning?

GBR!

Is BJ actually good enough to matter, or will he end up a bench jockey, eighth-man role player?

Walk ons in basketball almost never "matter". But ya never know...it's a "free" player so there's no downside.

In my opinion, he is another Jordan Tyrance. Would have been a decent D2 player. Hope he proves me wrong and becomes an all-conference player for us...

Yep, a power forward game with 2 guard height. More skilled than Tyrance but probably less athletic.

They may not "matter" come game time. But they certainly matter in practice and the locker room. They can be a big part of the team chemistry and the better they are the better for practice.
