New Nebraska men's basketball coach Fred Hoiberg will be on hand with a group of hoops recruits. He'll perhaps feel at least a tinge of nostalgia, in part because in 1991 he was a terrific run-and-shoot quarterback for Ames (Iowa) High School — good enough that he received a recruiting call from NU as it was in the tunnel before a game.
He'll soak it all in Saturday, and Doc Sadler will be on hand as well. Sadler, by the way, is an astute football observer. Many of our conversations during his tenure as Nebraska basketball coach (2007-12) were more about football than basketball.
