Nebraska Basketball: Huge in-state commitment keeps good vibes rolling

There is no doubt that the walk-on program for Nebraska Football is very successful. Now, it appears that maybe some of the luck of the football program is rubbing off on the Nebraska Basketball program. While obviously those two things have no correlation, it is apparent that Nebraska athletics like to take walk-on’s. After all, some gems can be found there, and it is better to tap into the program and take a chance then potentially leaving talented players with no opportunity to play. Monday, Fred Hoiberg did just that. He took a chance on Charlie Easley, and it has a tremendous opportunity to pay off.
