Having an ISU legend at Nebraska doesn’t make me any more likely to cheer for them than when an ISU legend coached Iowa wrestling. I will still hope Nabraska fails at everything except beating Iowa.
Hoiberg to Huskers

Well, that would be the express highway out of Ames lore and into Ames loathed. Business is business but I don’t see this ever happening unless it’s mutual.
Sucks I can’t root for him if he takes the NU job. I am curious to see what his strategy is for building up a program again. He caught lightening in a bottle here, you can’t just repeat that strategy.
He has a lot to sale personally, and for as terrible as Nebraska’s program is there are a few things they bring to the table, fans, facilities. Not unlike ISU football a few years ago (ducks).

For me it's specifically Nebraska; I hate Nebraska. As long as it isn't Iowa, Nebraksa, or Kansas, I really don't care.
Hey kid, you could go to Iowa State, a school with a little bit of tradition, most likely NCAA tournament appearances, possible Big 12 tournament title runs, a lot of time spent in the top 25, fans that adore you and sell out Hilton all the time or you could go to Lincoln, NE and have none of that.
Nebraska’s top 3 players are SR’s so they lose a lot but I would bet money Fred will turn them around fast.
They’ll be in the tourney two years from now.

I don’t think people should be worried about Nebraska and Hoiberg. Prohm could have a lot to build on after the tourney including a 1 and done and fingers crossed a deep run. Also Hoiberg and co focused a lot of time on MN and WI while Prohm recruits nationally.
Tim Miles hoisting the N.I.T. championship trophy and the A.D. comes to center court and fires him. That's what I want, like the WWE.
I could be wrong, but I’m not overly worried about him poaching players. In his time here, he had what, three really good high school recruits? Niang, Morris and Thomas? And Thomas was the only one from a state we have a pipeline in, and he was a TJ guy through and through anyway.
I guess you can give him partial credit for Ejim, but he only kept him, didn’t recruit him.

It takes ten years to build a program in the b10. Empirical evidence out east.
If he didn’t like recruiting he’s sure as hell not going to like recruiting without TJ doing all of the work on the HS kids.
Yeah, I’m not sure how to read his time here when it comes to high school recruits. Seemed to be on the cusp of bringing in blue chips but didn’t quite make it. But 2 nba players in his first(?) class ain’t bad.
I wonder what happens with the bigger recruits we were on if he publicly turns down the NBA.
Have nothing against Fred,but if he's at Nebraska I hope he loses every game but against Iowa for as long as he's there. **** Nebraska.
And Fred will only be a short 60 minute trip from them!
