What's going on in Lincoln? 4 transfers out. Definitely either a meltdown or getting rid of poor attitudes on the team.
OT - Nebraska MBB
- Thread starter mtdew_fever
- Start date
im just happy that Tim Miles doesnt own Fran....as was suggested.
He'd be smart to not even own a house (in Lincoln).
It's a meltdown. They are running away from Miles. The man cannot coach at all. Gonna be ugly in Lincoln next season.
Miles has had moderate success everywhere he has went except Nebraska. I think he's a good mid-major coach and that's the level he should stay at.
It's odd because McD and his staff recruited really well at Iowa St, just didn't get the breaks or have the depth.
Miles - I really have no clue. His new arena has been filled and the excitement has been there, but other than 1 year he's been a dud at Nebraska.

Is Nebraska trying to get rid of him that hard already that people are trying to drive him off the road

I am surprised that Miles survived this offseason. I thought he would be fired when Morrow announced that he was transferring. Morrow was a legacy and the team's 2nd or 3rd best player this year, as a sophomore. That is a sign that something is wrong.
As Iowa well knows from the Lickliter days, transfers are problematic when the transferring players are starters. You don't improve as a program when the nucleus is splitting and you are constantly rebuilding. It is hard enough to replace senior starters without also having to replace underclassmen starters.
I think that Miles' problem is that his acceptance of any high-level transfer who wants to come sends a message that he is not loyal to the players who are already in the program. It is hard for a player to sacrifice individual development for the team when the team views him as expendable.

I wouldn't say that. If nobody transfers from Nebraska over the past few years, they would probably be a middle of the road B1G team.
It's a balancing act to be sure with the transfers. No one can blame a coach for taking in a transfer who improves the program. Miles taking White from Kansas filled an area of need. But in turn it devastates the program when White then left as a graduate transfer for Syracuse, as other wing/SG prospects would not sign with White and 30+ minutes on board. Fran took Uthoff and that was certainly a good thing.
But it is very difficult for a program to move forward if rotation players/starters are moving on. It erodes depth and raises doubt. I too found it surprising that he wasn't fired, the Nebraska AD would have been justified in doing so. Miles' personality and acceptance by the Nebraska media and administration likely saved his job so far. That may serve to further damage the program before making the necessary changes.

Jeriah Horne is transferring
Michael Jacobson is transferring
Nick Fuller is transferring
thanks. good luck to Nebby next season! Yikes!
this smells like a Lick. where there is Lick, there is fire
Fred is a better coach than Miles. Fred could sustain the transfer mill because players had fun in his offense and had a legitimate chance at developing their pro potential.
Nebraska is a volleyball school.
1. Sergej Vucetic
2. Deverell Biggs
3. Nathan Hawkins
4. Tarin Smith
5. Walter Pitchford
6. Terran Petteway
7. Johnny Trueblood
8. Jacob Hammond
9. Bakari Evelyn
10. Andrew White
11. Nick Fuller
12. Jeriah Horne
13. Michael Jacobson
14. Ed Morrow
That's the total number of Cornhuskers players that have either transferred out, quit the program (i.e. Pitchford), or left early for the NBA Draft (i.e. Petteway) since the conclusion of Tim Miles' first season at Nebraska (2012-2013).
They might not be as bad next season as some would think (still have a core of Glynn Watson, Evan Taylor, Jack McVeigh, Isaiah Roby, and Jordy Tshimanga, along with incoming transfers James Palmer and Isaac Copeland), but just looking at the program's attrition rate since Miles has been there, it doesn't bode well for them/him in the long term.

If we could somehow get Glynn Watson to transfer to Iowa that would be nice.
I'm posting a rumor from Nebraska fans that Jacobson is enrolling at Iowa so don't hold me to this.
Like we need another 4/5 on this roster? That's ludicrous that he would transfer here.
thank you for making this list.
makes you wonder if the players just can't stand him, like Lick?
i think he is a decent sub, but like others have said, we don't have room for him
How about if he redshirted ( if he has not already done) I can see him in two years fitting in
Yeah, theres no way. I like him as a player, reminds me of a Tom Davis era player but we have about twice as many bigs as we can use now.
I actually knew Miles when I was in college. If you look at his ascent to where he's at, in my opinion it seems much different than a lot of guys and I think he's in over his head.
He went from small College asst to another small College as head coach took the job at North Dakota State and then on to Colorado State before UN.
While impressive, he doesn't seem to have ever been in a situation where he was mentored by a big-time coach. I think he would be fine as a mid-major coach but it just seems you have to be connected and learned the ropes somewhere along the line. I just don't see guys take his trajectory that often.
