Solid rotational player. That’s all he needs to be. Plus the European game plays up in college.

No but just because he doesn’t play his freshman year doesn’t mean he can’t be a quality rotation player the next 3 years

NaNas high school coach had said in an interview that there would be a pretty steep learning curve for him but once he got it all down the growth would be exponential. I would expect there will be some games this year where he completely amazes us and some games where we are calling for him to sit the bench. But as others have stated as long as he is willing to defend he will see minutes w that length n athletism

I have and your always down on the kid. Is he a D-1 guy right now? Probably not but he made great strides in a 2 month period doing an auctual weight training schedule. He’s 6’10” w a lot of potential and we don’t get that very often here.

Roby and Copeland are both stretch PFs but we definitely should be looking for another w out last scholarship

Those are the crystal ball projections from 2017 when he committed to Washington. Nebraska definitely seems like a throw in here because he hasn’t even revisited us

That high light video is from 2 years ago when he was on an under 16 team I believe. There is however nothing newer regarding scouting reports or film on him that I can find. His offer list isn’t horrible

There’s a pretty easy path too 9 or 10 wins there if 2 of our 3 early entries come back. Ohio state lost lost by far their two best players, northwestern has 2 of their 4 best players back plus a good recruiting class, Murphy is gonna be back for Minnesota, Iowa should be a 20 win team if they find another gaurd

Idk about light us up as his role would be alil different than it was at USD but the kid can ball that’s for sure.

Hope Edwards leaves or Purdue is gonna be awful good next year again

Roby would replace Copeland to the point of by January everyone would forget Copeland even left. The key is Watson has to get back to atleast average play. One of Allen, Thor, nana have to make a big jump with the other two atleast proving to be reliable bench guys. If nebraskball was ever gonna catch a break it would be palmer coming back for his senior year to work on his defense and off ball offense too. center is the real issue here, jordy needs to improve by leaps n bounds or the open scholarship of mcveigh has to turn into a 6’9” guy who can play some ball. A front court of roby, jordy, borchardt is not gonna cut it

Your very negative on this kid with all your posts. I’ve never seen him play in person but I’d rather take a chance on a “project kid” an hour from Lincoln rather then some of the kids we have taken in the past

Well that makes it alil more interesting that we couldn’t offer him a scholarship if we had seen him against high competition. I guess wingett averaged similar number against better competition and we didn’t offer him either. Grades may have factored in that decision though

Daum probably didn’t play AAU ball where as I believe Heiman has so that definitely affects recruiting as far as offers and exposure

I don’t hate the idea of roby n Jordy as seniors with nana,Thor,Allen, Xavier,Karrington rounding out the guards positions. Hopefully would see some development outta Heiman as a big off the bench. Now I admit the chances of those 8 being here to start the 19 season are extremely slim

Was a total waste, their decisions made no sense at all at the time to not redshirt with 2 seniors and a high rated prospect in Allen ahead of them. I may be wrong but couldn’t they still have practiced and been at games if they redshirted? Turns out at the end of the year it makes even less sense n looks more foolish on their parts. Only way it ends up bein good for them is if they were to transfer so they could then redshirt without loosing eligibility but again how many power 5 schools have 35 mins of 2 gaurd play open next year?

Antun Maricevic he’s from Croatia and is currently playing for Casper as a JUCO. Would have a few years of eligibility left. Saw on another recruiting page he is waiting till after the JUCO season is over to deal w recruiting. He’s 6’10” ish n looks like a bully in the post, a lot to like about his game

Bates Diop is leaving they honored him at senior night. Carr probably should leave as it’s unlikely he gets much better at penn st but he might wanna come back to try and get them in the tournament. I don’t really see Wagner leaving, he probably can’t raise his stock much by coming back but he’s probably a second round pick right now at best anyways.

I don’t see palmer or cope leaving, they might test the waters w that new nba rule but they will be back. Really hope that nana doesn’t leave, all the minutes he could want are right in front of him here. I do think if Watson is able to be a grad transfer that he might leave which even with his struggles would be a huge bummer since we rarely have 4 year players it seems. Mcveigh seems to be a real good character and glue guy but ya I’d love to use that scholarship elsewhere presumably for a transfer of our own. If Jordy leaves it will be a letdown after all the time they put into him and for the fact that we just don’t have anyone to replace that size. All n all tho we should probably be picked to contend for the big ten title next year w the likes of Michigan and Maryland and Wisconsin

Most who watch his highlight tapes would agree with you, however it was gonna be us or Creighton it sounded like and as long as he takes the redshirt year it’s hard to beat having 4 years of a 6’10” guy that grew up 45 mins from Lincoln

Looks like a pretty solid prospect. Willing defender, moves well w out the ball n fairly crafty off the bounce. We could definitely use that catch n shoot three point ability right now too. Anyone know if those highlights are from his junior or senior year?

I would agree hopefully he can go somewhere to get some playing time, seems like a heck of a dude it’s just not meant to be here. hopefully they don’t use Jordy just because it’s hard to find bigs this late in the recruiting cycle my hope is they find a development guy in the roby mode who can someday play the 3 or 4( would like to see them offer wingett but don’t see it happening ) then ya pluck the best transfer we can so he will be ready to go for 19-20 season.

Check the stats dude, not saying it’s pretty but since he started playing better in the last 20 days or so that stats are there in limited minutes, 0 fouls over his last 26 minutes of play. Not saying Thamba wouldn’t of taken his minutes or that JUCO from Wyoming wouldn’t take his minutes but he’s been playing much better lately

You guys realize if Jordy was getting 25+ mins a game he would likely average a double double w his current play. I agree w you guys he only has one post move and doesn’t know how to kick the ball out to save his life but he’s playing much better. He’s even starting to foul less it seems

I don’t know if they have any other offers out but IMO they should be looking at guys w 3 or 4 years of eligibility not just grad transfers
