Rienk a Husker

[bradleyfan124]

Comes as no surprise, Rienk Mast, now with Nebraska, getting no respect at all.
Big10 preseason poll is out, Illini are 4th, Nebraska at 12th

-Rienk Mast no votes for any preseason team, not the 10-man All Big Ten 1st Team or 2nd Team
and surprisingly...not on the Big Ten All-Transfer team!
Those 5 spots went to: Ace Baldwin, Olivier Nkamhoua, Jamison Battle, Kel’el Ware, AJ Storr (the release notes that only 5 players got any votes)

Valpo's Ben Krikke got a vote All-Big Ten team, but we coulda told ya, there's never been much respect for Nebraska basketball.

The grass may look green on the other side until you get over there. At Bradley he was family. At bigger schools you are just another number

Why would he get votes, good all Valley player but he needs to prove he can play against bigger competition.

[Da Coach]

At the Big Ten Media Day last week, Nebraska head coach Fred Hoiberg had some nice things to say about Rienk Mast, who attended the event in Minneapolis along with a couple other players.
"We have to slow him down sometimes and take some time off because of his work ethic."

Hoiberg has been complimentary of Rienk all summer-
"How hard he plays and with his spot ability to stretch the floor, he has the ability to be a game changer for us.”

Rienk missed Nebraska's summer tour of Spain while playing a couple games with the Netherlands Senior National team-

Rienk also made a cameo appearance in a promotional video for the basketball team made by Nebraska walk-on player Sam Hoiberg (son of head coach Fred Hoiberg) to coincide with the team's first practice-

I hope Rienk does well, but after watching him struggle against Brodie and athletic bigs, I think it will be a tough transition for him.
