gbr93 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Athletic forward that is transferring from Duke. Rivals is saying we are going after him. From what I remember when we went after him the first time, this would be another huge addition. This team may look completely different come next season. Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 As a Duke basketball fan and Kansas resident, I'm sad to hear Semi will transfer. I followed his play during his HS career at Ottawa and on to Duke. He just never had the foot speed to play at 2/3 and, despite the best strength on the team, wasn't big enough to bang with 4/5. If I remember correctly, he narrowed his original choices out of HS to: Duke, Stanford, and Indiana. He is a really bright kid. I've heard local rumors he may end up close to home, KSU or WSU. I believe Wojo was instrumental is his recruitment, so keep on eye on Marquette, too. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 This team really needs some pure shooters. When Smith and Abraham get healthy we will have big bodies inside. We have guys who can drive the basket in Shields and Petteway. We need shooters from the outside. Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 We just need Petteway to stop acting like he is a pure shooter. Drive to the freaking lane.. get to the free throw line. Our one pure shooter: Fuller cant get open. We need to add another big. We have plenty of athletic wings.. we need a big bruiser down low. Quote Link to comment

wiuhusker Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Please let a kid with this kind of athleticism end up on this campus. We have athletic kids now but nothing like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viB6rGUhEIM Quote Link to comment

Count 'Bility Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 We just need Petteway to stop acting like he is a pure shooter. Drive to the freaking lane.. get to the free throw line. Our one pure shooter: Fuller cant get open. We need to add another big. We have plenty of athletic wings.. we need a big bruiser down low. Until Pitch starts knockin em down, and Tai somehow finally finds the ball to let some shots fly, this wont be happening. We emerged last year, cuz a 6'10 Pitch was able to pull the bigs out AND knock down shots. Made it pretty easy for Shields and Pettway to get to the hole. it's not happening this year. it's like we're playing 2-5 when we have the ball. Quote Link to comment

I get what you are saying with the defense basically just sinking in to the paint... That takes away a good chunk of the penetration, but if you have good ball rotation you can still attack that sunken zone and get to the free throw line. I would love to have Semi for his athleticism but with Leslee and Moses both hurt, it is obvious where we will struggle next year and future years. Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Even with good ball rotation, if there's not threat of outside scoring, there's no step out. Think about this. Shields Petteway Webster Parker Pitchfor or Shields Petteway Webster Rivers Pitchford or Shields Petteway Parker Rivers Pitchford Hell, sub Terran Smith in any one of these combos, and tell me, where the wing threat? It's not there this year. Now, not all hope is lost, Pitch could catch fire any minute. Benny Parkers gettin some buckets. Rivers is knockin down a jumper here and there, more often than a year ago. But until we get it from Pitch and Tai, it's gonna continue to remain pretty ugly offensively. Quote Link to comment

SouthLincoln Husker Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Love to have this guy, but we will have steep competition. Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Anywhere he goes he will have to sit out a year. I think he's a sure fire starter here. We're in the Big Ten, have state of the art facilities, and recent success with major promise. I won't be surprised with his decision, that includes choosing nebraska Quote Link to comment
