Nebrasketball Roster Tracker

Fred Hoiberg and the Huskers have a massive offseason to restructure the team ahead of the 2025-26 season.

Fred Hoiberg has a big offseason that could make or break his tenure at Nebraska.

Following a trip to the NCAA Tournament in 2024, the Huskers began the 2024-25 campaign 12-2 before finishing 5-12 and missing not only on March Madness but the Big Ten Conference Tournament as well. Even with a College Basketball Crown title, results will need to improve in 2025-26.

"We got a lot of guys we got to replace," Hoiberg said after the regular-season finale against Iowa. "Certainly, we're going to be aggressive in the portal. There's no doubt about that.

"It's going to be an important offseason for us."

The transfer portal for men's basketball ran from March 24 through April 22.

Also new for this offseason will be an increased roster limit of 15. College men's basketball had been operating at a scholarship limit of 13 but no limit to how many players could be on the roster.

Hoiberg is 84-108 at Nebraska. That number looks better over the last three seasons, at 60-41. But outside of the NCAA Tournament season, in which the Big Red finished third in the Big Ten, they have not finished better than 11th under Hoiberg.

Nebraska is losing six seniors who have exhausted their eligibility, including four of the top five scorers from this past season. One of those seniors is Brice Williams, a first-team All-Big Ten selection after averaging 20 points a game in his senior season.
