Will  Sadler be able to bring in the better players.. get them to come to NE 
or is  Basketball in NE basically doomed.. well not doomed, but you all know 
what I  mean.  Can basketball 'get good' at NE like DUKE OR North Carolina or 
is  the best we hope for is an Illinois for instance that has a nice run every  
once and a while.  Like this year A&M?


I don't get caught up in subjective recruiting rankings, but those who do  
rate this class of Doc's from the fall signing period, a good one:
 
Steve Harley 5-11 SG South Plains CC, TX
Shang Ping 6-9 PF Illinois  Central CC, IL
Alex Chapman 6-10 PF Sheridan CC, WY
Alonzo Edwards 6-8 PF  Houston, TX Klein Forest
Cookie Miller 5-9 PG Cincinnati, OH Harmony  Community
Rishawn Norwood 6-4 SG Mt. San Antonio CC, CA
Brandon Richardson  6-0 Hawthorne, CA 
 
Most were quite impressed that Sadler was able to do what he did in the  
short time he had.  According to those who supposedly know, he made some  great 
hauls in the JUCO ranks, which CAN be a good way to 'get good' in a  hurry.  
Ping is described as 6-foot-9 and "mean" by one analyst.  I've  seen Sadler's 
class rated in the Top 20, for what that's worth.  The early  indication is that 
Doc can both coach AND recruit.  Wouldn't that be  nice.  We shall see on both 
accounts, but a lot of the 'pundits' are saying  nothing but great things 
about Nebraska's new coach at this point.
