They lost their best player right before school started. They lost a rotation guard early in the season. Their best post player has been out since their 3-0 conference start. They have 3 true freshman in their rotation. Also, as if that weren't enough, they also have played one of the toughest, if not the toughest, schedules in the country.
I don't think you can just look at a record and gauge talent, at least not without context.
Here is your roster next year...
Watson
Palmer
Horne
Roby
McVeigh
Jacobson
Morrow
Copeland
Gill
Taylor
Jordy
Akenten
What don't you like about this roster? When is the last Nebraska team to have this kind of talent?
There's "promise" in that roster but I'm not sure it's one you look at and say "what's not to like?"
Watson is all conference level.
Morrow is a nice piece to a puzzle...a 10 and 7 guy. Nothing wrong with that.
After that some guys need to make MAJOR strides. Several have shown flashes here and there but not a lot of consistency out of any.
