[Husker] Hoops

>From my understanding, Collier has brought in a new assistant coach who is apparently very well regarded when it comes to recruits and I'm hearing next season class is pretty good. I do think that Collier should dump the 'Princeton' offense as it seems to just bog down more than anything. Plus it seems that it doesn't quite use the inside presence for scoring as well as it could and with the talent in the middle for the Huskers that shouldn't happen. I like Mulheisen but he doesn't seem like the guy we should have at point guard. I think he would be better as a shooting guard or even small forward. These are just a few of my opinions and I'm not a basketball guru in any sense. I will admit I back the Bluejays in b-ball more than the Huskers but I would like to have the Huskers as a competitive team in the nation also.

    You are correct.  I was looking at a site from Huskerpedia and didn't notice it didn't include 2003-2004.  If I recall we did finish about 8th or 9th in the conference.  But the point being we haven't really seen any major improvement in the program since he took over.  And, like the football team it goes to recruiting.  Collier has had very few difference maker type players since he has been here.  I really think this season's Big 12 schedule for the Huskers could get ugly.
