Welcome aboard, Pop!

Third team all Big 12 last year.

I like the scoring he can provide a team that needs some scoring.

2nd hip surgery. Hmmmmm

Agree that it sounds somewhat concerning

Sounds like recovery time is usually 6 weeks so maybe not a huge deal

But, I am not a doctor. Any docs out there?

Great job by the staff here. Timing worked out about as well as I could imagine, but lawsuit was cleared, Trey announced, and we also just landed Neal

if Kalk comes back this will have already been a great offseason

I had some concerns about Isaacs' efficiency, but the injuries seem to have played a part in that, and with their offense last year he ended up taking a lot of shots when nothing else was working for them. Assuming he's healthy, he's going to be getting much better shot quality in our offense

Defensively, having 2 smaller guards in the backcourt can be an issue against some teams, but Neal really helps us be able to target the other team's best wing player and defend them, and 2 guys who can shoot and get space like Pops and Ashworth will create their own matchup issues

Hmmm. A 2 small guard lineup? Perhaps, but more the exception than the rule, I would think. Knox & Larrybuckets want PT as well - both are shooters/playmakers with size. I look forward to seeing both men in the rotation.

Larry buckets is not known as a shooter (yet) but I am looking forward to him in the rotation as well. Anyway, welcome to Omaha Pop. If the coaching staff believes in you, I do too.

Didn't Larry just shoot 50% from three this past year?
