Kyle and Perkins would be good adds. Bring in Fidler for offensive burst, lose no more to the portal and if Uhlis is eligible the Huskers have a comparable and probably better 8 man rotation than this year. No one as exciting as Tomi but Perkins was all conference and a good replacement. And Perkins/Uhlis defensively in the backcourt would be an upgrade defensively over Tomi/Sam. I love Sam’s effort and all the little things he does but he’s limited athletically. The 2nd half vs IL and the TAMU game showed you need athletes to get to the next level.Frankie Fidler is part of a group of three players out of Bellevue West HS that all went elsewhere.
Frankie Fidler - UNO (in portal)
William Kyle - SDSU (in portal)
Chucky Hepburn - Wisconsin (Not in Portal, at least not yet)
With our recent good results from bringing home Nebraska players to finish their careers (Sam Griesel, Josiah Alleck), some are speculating any (or all) of the three would be welcome to return; And would be valuable .contributors to the team.
Mike Sautter reporting we reached out to William Kyle as soon as he entered the portal. Among bigs, we've also reached out to Michigan Sophomore Tarris Reed.
I read where we have also reached out to Tony Perkins - Iowa. (Ahron Ulis was his room mate @ Iowa)
I know Fred is being selective on who we go after, but I do think he's not going to put all his eggs in one basket, and is going to have backup plans if our first choices go elsewhere. I think Hugley visiting from OU is additional indication that Mast might be heading home.Im kinda wondering if Gavin from rutgers that is visiting, is a indication that fidlers not comin
