NUance Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Husker freshman Nathan Hawkins goes from DNP to A-OK By Lee Barfknecht / World-Herald Bureau / PUBLISHED WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 2013 AT 10:46 PM <snip> “I had no intention of redshirting when I got here,” Hawkins said Wednesday night. “We had individual meetings before the season and coach Miles told me he saw me getting minutes.” After the injury — to the same foot Hawkins broke in eighth grade and again in 12th — Miles asked if he wanted to sit out. “I didn't want to,” Hawkins said. “He said, 'Good, because I don't want you to redshirt, either.' He had plans to play me from the beginning.” Hawkins' first action was 11 minutes at Creighton LINK We're getting him back just in time for a conf sched. Looking forward to seeing more of Hawkins.

BigRedBuster Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 That's wonderful and I think he is going to be a very good player for us. However, I question how effective he is going to be as a true freshman with very little experience at Div 1 Basketball going into the gauntlet of at Iowa, at Ohio State, Michigan, at Purdue, Ohio State again....etc. Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Supposedly a great shooter, but we haven't seen it yet. Hopefully he surprises in the manner of Terran as he gets more experience. Quote Link to comment
