Definitely gets all big ten honors but we would have to win out for him to get in the running for POY honors IMO. We should probably convince him to come back for next year so he can be the front runner for POY.

the way Copeland is playing he might sneak into the 2nd or 3rd all big ten team too, when was the last time two huskers made it in the same year? 

Would be kinda surprised if AROP went to Nebraska but would like to see them go aggressive after Robinson, his current wing span makes it look like he’s got a ways to grow yet

Nice to see most of his stat lines include 8+ assists n 5+ boards, two things we are in desperate need of

Does Nebraska have much of a history of walk ons contributing in basketball?

Where is that blogger who had inside info on JPJ being “very bad” haven’t seen him post since I got involved w this site.

taylor is just tough, tough tough tough. I didn’t like him as a starter so much but gotta give it to Miles he is money off the bench n he brings that swag. Him n duby are the kinda guys teams need to give you alil “juice”, just scrappy hard nosed players

we actually match up fairly well w Michigan, as someone stated above they space you out and hit threes, Nebraska defends well in space and inless its the last minute of the game has guarded the three point line pretty good this year. 

We also match up fairly well w Ohio state as we can throw Copeland or roby at bates-diop then palmer or Taylor at Tate. 

we Have a shot vs Michigan but it would be nice to see the skers come out good for once. Last night if anyone caught the Purdue game they were the much better team but they hit those couple early threes n the crowd roared the rest of the first half. Our crowd doesn’t get that chance because most games we shoot like 2-10 in the first five minutes of the game. It would be an excellent time to turn that around 

He didn’t make the McDonald’s squad but he’s having a heck of a year. Seems to get to the rim at will n does a good job getting teammates involved. Would love to see him n palmer on the floor together next year especially since Xavier has the size to play some 2 gaurd

he's rawer than all get out but I really wouldn't mind taking a chance on Wingett if it came down to it (and he qualified). Great athleticism and if anyone can get him to defend with a purpose it would be Molinari and Miles

Ya totally agree, I think coming out of high school grades were the main issue as I believe he’s at a prep school in Oklahoma now? But he’s 6”7ish with good wing span and big hops, and can hit the three ball. Doesn’t look like he currently has many offers but he’s been putting up good numbers. If miles is gonna be retained I’d rather see him take a chance on a guy like wingett then another transfer. I think he played some 1 3 1 in high school to boot 

Be real interesting to see what they do since hunter previously said they are focusing on ‘19. I’m sure we take atleast 1 transfer since that’s our MO. Would be real nice to find a lower rated guy w robys build n get him in the fray as a developmental player 

Thanks, it appears his other current bigger program offers are from the likes of BYU and Wichita ST. Just from watching a few YouTube clips of him it looks like he could bring some much needed physical play to the skers, and fill the hole left by Thamba choosing Baylor

Both guys quit on their team. While I get it might be a bit of a stretch because of situations, it still happened. 

Walk ons leave all the time, starters who play 20+ mins every game just deciding before the plane leaves that they need a mental break is a huge distraction, I don’t have a problem w miles letting him back on the team if the team supports that decision, I would however boo Jordy like no other if I was in attendance for the game he comes back. 

Let’s hope Kenya hunter gets us another one, hard to see him passing up a chance to play at Baylor with there track record of developing bigs tho. I’ll be anxious to see what the back up plan is If we don’t get him, atleast 2 available scholarships left I think

Lost 6 from fantam goal tends & another 10 from the line. 

 

That first one on duby looked to be a terrible call. I wonder why they don’t make that reviewable like they do if a toe is on the line for three pointers. Then wasn’t there another one where a penn state guy flat out grabbed the rim when the ball was up there to pop it out?

Anyone know anything more on this guy? Seems to have a pretty legit post game being able to use both hands and a nice baby hook shot in his game. Looks like he uses his body well when getting position too.  

Would be great to get Thamba on Monday but this guy would have several years of eligibility left and would bring something that the husker probably haven’t had since Ubel was a senior
