Haha my timing is impeccable. Can delete my other thread.

Was there really anywhere else he was going to land? The minute he announced he was transferring, the odds were 99.9% he was ending up with the Mayor.

Wisconsin is probably getting a good chuckle out of this. They're 5-1 since he announced he was leaving. Seems like addition by subtraction.

Fred's the Mayor of Transfersville USA.

Hoiberg is revisiting the formula he used at ISU. Going 2-14 in conference will do that to you.

Half the guys on the team this year are transfers, he’s not revisiting anything he is who he is. He just didn’t have enough talent yet this year.

Mack, Burke, and King will be a pretty formidable backcourt next year. Not sure what they have inside.

King will need a waiver to play next year.

I’m about 85% sure he will get it following the “racial” issue with the now former UW strength coach.

It is amazing how Hoiberg always seems to land so many high profile transfers. Of course there is no tampering there. Just amazing fortune.

I would love to know how much Fred pays his runners......

Typical Hoiberg, taking in other players who left their programs for personal reasons. Does Fred even recruit?

Shows you how much I know (or care) about Nebraska basketball.

I feel kind of bad for King. He’s a solid player. And Fred will bring in a better transfer next year and recruit over him. It’s really quite sad.

I don't think he even offered Xavier Foster. He'll probably get him in a couple of years.

It would be a kick in the nuts for Wisconsin if Micah Potter couldn't get the waiver, had to sit an extra handful of games, and King gets one.

The Mayor welcomes Kobe King to Husker Boys Town.

 

[Zstatman]

If Bo Ryan were still coach at Wisky, could've/would've he stopp this transfer to Nebraska?

I know the Mayor has played and coached a lot of basketball but I suspect he might find competing in the current B1G tougher than the Big 12.

 

[NorthKCHawk]

While I am in favor of allowing more freedom to transfer, until they change the rule, if I was Wisky, I would not agree to this. This is not like Uthoff moving back to his home state. This is a transfer to a conference school with no connections to this kid and to a coach who has a history of being a serial tamperer/professional transfer poacher. Make them jump through the hoops.

 

[koralakers]

Does the Mayor recruit ANYTHING BUT transfers? Ever?

The thing is its harder to do his thing in the Big 10 than the Big 12
