Tamin Lipsey recruiting thread
- Thread starter Cyclonepride
- Start date
I just still can't wrap my head around Fred and Nebraska....there is just so much wrong about this. It's like waking up from a bad dream....
I'm not sure how much longer Deputy Dog will be coaching. He has that issue with vertigo that dropped him at one of his games.
“Hey Kid, how would you like to not play in NCAA tournament games while I’m not even your coach?”
If you look at Fred's buyout, you'll see that there's a really good chance he's there for the long haul.
at least 4 years. They seem to be very worried he would get poached in the near future because those buy outs in year 1-3 are crazy and he gets a 1 million dollar bonus for staying there until July of 2020...
Why do you think Fred agreed to a steep buyout if he left for a D1 job, but his NBA buyout is so low?
Like all coaches Fred will do it until a better opportunity presents it's self or he is fired. If a Blue Blood comes calling where recruiting is easier or the NBA where there is no recruiting he will leave.
While I think he'll be there 4-5 years and then there will be a change. Nebraska isn't a destination job and even though I think Fred will be successful in the short term I don't think it is his dream to coach in Lincoln for the rest of his career rather and a good well paid option right now to rehab his coaching career.
Hoiberg’s buyout, should he leave Nebraska for another coaching job at the Division I ranks, would be as follows:

Well most of the time bad dreams fade away. This one will be refreshed over and over in CF, Randy Peterson and the Register, the Gazette, ISU Daily, you name it. Go Cyclones.
Wow! So basically, he's not coaching at college after this stop, but NBA is very much on the table. Keep an eye out for a Minnesota Timberwolves opening or Indiana Pacers opening in 2021 and he's gone.
Exactly - so he could leave for the NBA anytime he's got an opportunity. Buyout will be no issue there. I thought he'd try to drag it out long enough to get clarity on the T'wolves situation, but this seems like a good compromise for him.
I don't really see this as a huge deal for ISU. If Fred isn't successful, ISU isn't impacted. If Fred is successful, he's going to be in the NBA quickly. I think Fred will do whatever he can to get an opportunity in the NBA. I'm sure he doesn't want to have his only NBA coaching experience to be a big failure.
Yep. Say he has some success at Nebraska...you just know NBA GMs will be calling.
Wouldn't it be a nice change to hear a kid say, "I grew up a die-hard Cyclone fan and I'm going to ISU"......Seriously, if we can't land this kid.......i'll bite my tongue for now....agggghhhhh!!!
