Coach Miles has to do some serious work.. He's already visited once though so its not impossible

Isn't there some kind of law against 5 star kids looking at Nebraska basketball? He would be an instant celebrity here!

I really like this player. Good team player with great skills. He's a winner.

Unless we hire his AAU coach he won't be a husker IMHO

Him and Tyus Jones have said they will go to the same school.

They all say that, and then reality sets in

You honestly thought there was ever going to be a chance

No but one can dream right?

 

[nuhuskeralum]

can we hire his coach? I think it would be worth it!

 

[BigRedBuster]

Have we replaced the AAU coach that left that was such a good recruiter?

Nope miles mentioned waiting until the offseason. He will bring in an ace recruiter for sure. Miles just gets it and knows what it takes. Can't stop bragging the guy up

This kid would turn us from good to great very quickly.

Imagine Atewe this year and Okafor next year.

I doubt we can get him.. but if we did.. i honestly could see this team not only making the Tourney, but doing something in said tourney.
