What will Hoiberg inherit from Nebraska? Consideration of the UN List 2019-20

Nebraska has his man when Fred Hoiberg was officially announced as a new head coach on Saturday.

A task that is now high on Hoiberg's list of priorities is managing a list that could see a major overhaul of the 19-17 age group. Here is an overview of the list of Huskers who are entering an important off-season in Lincoln.

Hoiberg is not facing a more pressing problem for the moment than ensuring that the most valuable item on Nebraska's return list remains in place.

Senior-to-be Isaiah Roby has a big decision to make on his plate while he weighs his future in basketball. Long regarded as the best hope of the NBA Huskers, the 6-foot-8, and 230-pound forward will have a chance to make a quick jump to the next level if he wishes.

He will also have the opportunity to return for his last season in Lincoln and be the face of the first Hoiberg team in the NU.

Roby and Hoiberg have already met and the re-recruitment process has already begun. What is likely to result is the type of response that Roby will get during the pre-drafting process.

Like James Palmer Jr. and Isaac Copeland in the final off season, Roby has declared himself for the NBA 2019 draft without hiring an agent and will go through a comprehensive evaluation of meetings and sessions. training with NBA teams.

Roby will have until the May 29th deadline of the NCAA to decide to withdraw from the project and return to Nebraska or stay in the project and lose his eligibility to college.

Thomas Allen Nebraska's compositional uncertainty may resemble that of next season when he signed up on the NCAA transfer portal following the dismissal of Tim Miles and before hiring. Hoiberg.

Allen stated that he had not decided yet whether he would stay or leave and that he simply wanted to make sure that all options were available to him when he of a major transition for the UN program.

He too will have long discussions with Hoiberg now that the dust is starting to calm down and he might realize that his three-point shooting and dribbling abilities could allow him to integrate perfectly with Hoiberg's powerful offensive system.

However, the young junior could also use the coaching change as an opportunity for a fresh start and a potential transfer to the east coast, closer to his hometown, Raliegh, North Carolina. He always has a redshirt available, so a transfer would not cost. him any eligibility.

There is no deadline for players to remove their name from the transfer portal, but Allen will probably make a decision as soon as he learns more about Hoiberg and its place in the new system. Nebraska.

There could be another rotation of scholarships beyond Roby and Allen.

Nana Akenten has been suspended for the last six games of the season for violation of the team rules, including all rounds of the Big Ten tournament and the NIT. Miles said that he would reevaluate Akenten 's status after the season, but that the younger junior' s future is even darker after the coach 's change.

Take it for what it's worth, but Akenten recently removed the "Nebraska Basketball" part of his Twitter biography.

Then there is Thorir Thorbjarnarson, who will also be junior next year. Thorbjarnarson saw its role increase considerably at the end of the year after the exhaustion of the NU list. He played some quality minutes in Chicago and at NIT.

Even in the regular season, it was said that Icelandic Reykjavik could look to return to his native country and play professionally.

It is also difficult to say what will happen with Karrington Davis, who lost his first year season to a torn Achilles last summer. Davis is a solid asset when he is in good health, but the problem is that injuries have derailed his development over the past two years. It will be up to Hoiberg and Co. to decide whether or not they think Davis can be the player Miles thought they could play.

Amir Harris has already expressed public support for the hiring of Hoiberg, and Brady Heiman is a child from Nebraska who wants to play for Nebraska. Both should be back for their second season unless changes occur as Hoiberg and his prospective staff move in.

Dachon Burke, who was absent this year after his transfer from Robert Morris, should also be back.

Hoiberg will not only have to re-recruit already registered players, but will also win all three Nebraska signatories in the 2019 recruiting category.

The good news is that, according to early indications, Mika Adams-Woods, school guard from New Hampton (NH), seems rather excited about the idea of ​​playing for Hoiberg, he should so be easy to sell.

Omaha (Neb.) The preparatory wing of Creighton, Akol Arop, also seems eager to hear what Hoiberg has to say, but he wonders how he would fit into the new style of NU and if the new staff would provide him with the same opportunities to express his faith. that Miles promised.

The biggest unknown, and arguably the most important piece of the 2019 class, is Western Nebraska BC guard Jervay Green. The sophomore chose Nebraska at the expense of a number of other very important programs because of his relationship with Miles, and he was not happy about the dismissal of Miles .

That said, there are many who think that the dynamic striker would fit perfectly under Hoiberg and he is keeping his commitment to Nebraska at least until he can meet Hoiberg and have a better idea of ​​what he will do. future of the Huskers.

By 2020, Donovan Williams, the guard of Lincoln's North Star (Neb.), Is playing hard for Hoiberg. But the verbal commissar of Andre Davis of Indianapolis (Ind.) Lawrence Central is far from being sold.

Davis had a strong relationship with Miles and lead recruiter Michael Lewis and, like Green, said the change in direction had a decisive impact on his situation with Nebraska. He too can not wait to meet Hoiberg to get a better idea of ​​what's going to happen.
