Nebraska's remaining group of re
cruits include center Scott Bullock and
guards Darren Brown and Milton Shobe.
Bullock, a 6-10 freshman from Fort
Collins, Colo., is being projected as a
redshirt this season, while Brown and
Shobe will give the Huskers some
much-needed depth at guard.
"We went into last season knowing
we were thin at the guard position
simply because we didn't have any
returning experience there," Baack
said. "We hoped we have solved that
problem, though, with the addition of
Shobe and Brown because we feel that
both of them are very capable players."
Nebraska has seven players return
ing from last year's team, which fin
ished in the three-way tie with Kansas
State and Colorado for fifth place in the
Big Eight conference.
An eighth player, senior Demetrius
Buchanan, has been declared academ
ically ineligible for the first semester of
the 1985-86 season, while a ninth,
sophomore Keith Nubert, is coming off
a redshirt season.
"We feel very happy about the group
of returning players we have coming
back," Baack said. "We feel we have got
a very good group."
If the Huskers were to play a game
tomorrow, Nebraska basketball coach
Moe Iba said, the tentative starting
line up would be Brian Carr and Harvey
Marshall at guards, Day and Chris
Logan at forward and Dave Hoppen at
center.
According to Iba, Hoppen is defi
nitely the key to Nebraska's offense.
"Opposing teams generally build
their defense around Dave (Hoppen)
simply because he is such avital part of
our offense," Iba said. "A lot of the
success we have had in the past couple
of years here can be directly credited to
him (Hoppen)."
Last year's troubled spot apparently
has turned into one of this year's
stronger points of the team, Baack said,
as Nebraska returns both Marshall and
Carr at guard.
Last season, Marshall started all 30
games for the Huskers and averaged
10.7 points and 2.8 rebounds per game.
Carr, a junior from Munice, Ind., also
started all 30 games for Nebraska and
averaged 9.5 points and 1.9 rebounds
per game.
"We feel that Harvey (Marshall) and
Brian (Carr) work very well together In
the backcourt," Baack said. "Both of
them are vital parts of our offense."
At forward, Nebraska returns two
part-time starters in Bill Jackman and
John Matzke.
Although both Jackman and Matzke
have been tentatively deviated to back
up roles because of the rise of Logan
and Day, Baack said they were fitting in
well in their new roles.
"Jackman played very well at the
end of last season so we will definitely
be counting on him again this season
while John Matzke has always been a
vital contributer to our program," he
said. "Both of those guys are super
individuals who I never hear anything
except positive things out of."
Nebraska's two tentatively proposed
starting forwards, Day and Logan, are
both in relatively new roles with the
Nebraska basketball program, Baack
said.
Logan transferred to Nebraska one
year ago from Antelope Valley junior
college in Lancaster, Calif., but was
declared academically ineligible for
the second semester of the 1984 season.
Day, meanwhile, a transfer from
Moberly Junior College in Moberly, Mo.,
averaged 14 points per game before
coming to Nebraska.
"Overall, we feel like we have got a
very fine group of players at all the
positions," Baack said. "We're very
optimistic about the upcoming season."
