BigRedBuster Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 What are your thoughts on Chang as a recruit now that this season is pretty much over? I saw him play once in Grand Island a week or two ago. I'm having the same feelings as when I saw Arop play. They are both good players. But, I'm having a hard time picturing their skills transitioning to a Big Ten team well. But, I can't put my finger on why. Maybe it's their lack of bulk (size)??? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment

I've not seen him play, but he is similar in size to Roby. Arop was shorter. If he is long and athletic, he can make up for bulk as he would be playing small forward. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Comparing the info in the OP of this thread for Chang and Roby's info on Huskermax, Roby is 34 lbs heavier and an inch taller. Seeing Chang in person, that does not surprise me. Now...take 34lbs off of Roby and you get an idea where I'm coming from. Quote Link to comment

In fact, I seen an article that him listed as 6'9". I'd say that pretty close. Quote Link to comment
TonyStalloni Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Tayshaun Prince had an NBA career at 6'9" and 212 pounds but I don't think he was that heavy while he played at Kentucky. Quote Link to comment
Cdog923 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 He will probably be a 3 at the next level. He's going to need at least a year in the weight room to be effective against Big Ten teams, though. Quote Link to comment
seaofred92 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I would take this kid in a heartbeat. Good/great athleticism and can switch screens on everyone from a 2-5 on D. Plus a local kid that will strengthen ties in the Omaha area. This is the kind of kid that Creighton has gotten and turned into a productive player for a long time. Need to lock him up. 1 Quote Link to comment

Couldn't agree more. Would hate to miss out on him and have him playing for them against us in a couple years. Quote Link to comment

This is almost the most important aspect of his recruitment. Nebraska needs to be more active in Omaha. Quote Link to comment
seaofred92 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Also- one more thing to add: I'm all for this team adding length. This kid is a legit 6'7 with a 7'1 wingspan- are you kidding me?! I love Fuller's hustle and heart he brings but if you're going to give a guy like Fuller a scholarship I can't see how you ignore this home grown product. It can't be valued enough that his length allows him to switch all ball screens, makes it harder to run your stuff on offense. I don't know that he is really a proven, dynamic scorer and I would like to add another shooter in this class that can space the floor but if we were to add Chang all of a sudden you're looking at a really big, long team at almost every position (minus Watson). Things we really need to add in the next two recruiting cycles: 1. Shooting 2. Size/Length 3. Additional ball handler Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Gonzaga is interested. 1 Quote Link to comment
spurs1990 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Didn't know he was rated a decent amount higher than Akenten. We better be giving this guy the full court press. Quote Link to comment
spurs1990 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Saw flashes of ability in the state championship game. Ankle didn't look good though. At some point you have to say either play through it or sit down. His running looked absolutely horrific. He still made plays, but it did not look like he should have been out on the floor.

SouthLincoln Husker Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 If anyone wanted to see how much BB talent is in NE, all they had to do is watch the state tournament. It was pathetic. Even my wife was laughing. Chang was definitely the best player, even with a bad ankle. Quote Link to comment
