2021-22 B1G Notes

 


5. Nebraska


247Sports recruiting class ranking: No. 17 


Breakdown: A 14-45 record through two seasons for coach Fred Hoiberg offers all the explanation needed to show how difficult the Nebraska basketball job is these days. There is help on the way with five-star guard Bryce McGowens arriving as the headliner of the nation's No. 17 ranked recruiting class. McGowens is the program's highest-rated signee of the 247Sports era and is the No. 3 ranked incoming freshman within the Big Ten. The Cornhuskers are poised to creep toward competitiveness in the 2021-22 season and their incoming talent will be a big reason why.

Chance he ends up back with Illinois but it also sounds like he is looking to cash in and figure out where the best place for that to happen will be.

Kentucky (his ex coach from Illinois is there)

Miami 

Illinois

Those are the rumors.

This is driving Illini fans nuts.

That Garcia PF from Marquette is transferring to Illinois (or so it sounds) and if Kofi comes back, the Illini are a top 5 and maybe top 2 team to start the season.

There are some rumors that Kofi already has about 100K lined up with NIL if he comes back to Illinois.  So he might just be waiting to see what UK can do.

Perfect example of how a college kid could become a millionaire before it's said and done.
