Omaha-Husker Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Nebraska leads for top International prospect Tai Webster: Robin Washut @RobinWashut New Zealand's top player of 2013 could be a lock for #Nebrasketball. More info here ($$$): http://nebraska.riva...&fid=&tid=&mid= Tai Webster's Rivals profile: http://rivals.yahoo....-Webster-143233 This could be a HUGE pick up for Coach Miles. Here's the limited highlights I could find: 1 Quote Link to comment
flatwaterfan Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Wow. This kid has quite the credentials. Would be nice to get him. Webster & Hawkins in the backcourt. Fuller on the wing. Just need to get 1 or 2 bigs now. If we sign 2 point guards/combo guards for next year, I would like to see Biggs play this year. We sure could use him Quote Link to comment

We sure could use him I agree we could use him, but i think that would hurt our chances (at least not help) our chances of getting Akoy. Plus in previous interviews, Biggs has said numerous times that he made sure he could redshirt this year before committing, so I don't see any circumstance where he would change his mind.

Lil' Red Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Here's a Bleacher Report article on Tai Webster. Take it for what it's worth. Link Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I like what Smiles is doing.. Seems to be going after guards/wins who can shoot the ball. He is showing interst in 5* guys but is getting 3* to at least build the team.. 3-4 3*** guys and 1 5***** will be a good team if he can get that one stud! 1 Quote Link to comment
74Hunter Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I tweeted about Akoy needing to join Fuller and Hawkins for a 3-peat and Akoy retweeted me.. as did Hawkins. I honestly think Akoy is going to end up here. We will have a class of Akoy/Fuller/Hawkins and start a strong core! I don't know if we get Akoy, I certainly hope that we do. But doesn't it seem odd that a guy who has not committed/maybe not going to NU was showing around another one of our recruits and new commits? Quote Link to comment
mrandyk Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 We are so going to the tourney within the next few years. 2 Quote Link to comment
Huskball Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 We are so going to the tourney within the next few years. I like the enthusiasm, even though we are probably only at the cautious optimism stage. We have thought that many times in the era of Doc and before (even last year before the season started). We still need to secure a few top notch players before we completely drink the Miles kool-aid. It sure would be great though! Quote Link to comment
Blackshirts007 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Nexus is definitely going to need to work some o.t hours to get caught up on the past few weeks. Quote Link to comment

Nexus is definitely going to need to work some o.t hours to get caught up on the past few weeks. Maybe he is waiting until we get the LOI's - guess he could put "Nebraska verbal commit" in the meantime if he wanted to do that so we can keep track. The other commits on the list were able to sign right away so this is really the first time we've had to wait for it to be concrete. Quote Link to comment

Huskball Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 There is an article in the OWH that Akoy is heavily considering changing schools for his last year in HS to one in Maryland. It is also very close to GTown. He also mentions the pressure everyone is putting on him to go to NU. I think that most will agree that if he does leave, that will pretty much end our chances. It might not be all bad, his ego seems to be getting bigger and bigger now with possibly leaving his Omaha teammates and coaches. http://www.omaha.com/article/20120817/PREPZONE/708179846/1001#central-s-agau-ponders-move-to-maryland-school Quote Link to comment

Omaha-Husker Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 He talked about transferring to Oak Hill last season also, this sounds more legit though. Quote Link to comment
TonyStalloni Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 His high school is scheduled to play Oak Hill Academy this winter in the Grand Island Invitational over Christmas break. I was wanting to see them play. Quote Link to comment
