HuskermanMike Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 We are now almost complete with our roster and it is a completely revamped team. As we get new players I will add them but so far here is our roster and potential additions for 2019. Nebraska is allowed 13 scholarship players in total. I probably missed some transfers but I am only adding them if they visited or have some connection with the staff (Lard I think). Update: This staff is recruiting at a high level. They have added some solid players to this roster. The main thing now is how will the roster gel for the 2019 season. Justin Costello has left the team according to Washut so I removed him. On Roster Dachon Burke Thor Isaiah Roby (Almost certainly going pro) Jace Piatowski(Walk-on) Charlie Easley(Walk-On) 2 scholarships Recruits signed Jervay Green Akol Arop Cam Mack Yvan Ouedraogo Kevin Cross Samari Curtis 6 scholarships Grad Transfers/Transfers Committed/Signed Haanif Cheatham(Grad) Matej Kavas(Grad) Dalano Banton(Transfer) Shamiel Stevenson(Transfer)-applying for a waiver for immediate eligibility. Derrick Walker(Transfer) 5 scholarships Right now that leaves us with 0 available scholarships. If Roby wants to stay things could get interesting. 13 total scholarships. Transfers/Grad Transfers-I will leave these names on here in case something happens but it looks like our roster is full at the moment. Maurice Calloo(Transfer)- seems we want him to go Juco before we give him a spot. Joel Ntambwe(Transfer)-visited for the Spring game. He could potentially apply for a waiver to play immediately 7 Quote Link to comment
SouthLincoln Husker Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Good time for this! I like Johnson, as he will give Heiman one more year before he becomes the starter. I also prefer Mack over Cheatham. And I do not expect Roby back, so we need a couple of guys in the 6' 8" - 6' 9" size. 2 Quote Link to comment

He is raw, but gets every rebound close to him. 1 Quote Link to comment

On Roster Amir Harris Dachon Burke Thor Justin Costello (Walk on) Isaiah Roby (Potentially going pro) Karrington Davis Johnny Trueblood (Has a chance to come back, but unlikely) Brady Heiman 6 scholarships Recruits signed Jervay Green Akol Arop 2 scholarships Right now that leaves us with 4-5 available scholarships depending if Roby leaves. High school/Juco Recruits-We probably take 1 Cam Mack Mika Adams-Woods Transfers/Grad Transfers- 3-4 I would assume two will sit and two will be grad transfers Haanif Cheatham(Grad) Matej Kavas(Grad) Jayce Johnson(Grad) 7 footer-working on official Maurice Calloo(Transfer) Cam Lard(Transfer)- Possible connection with the staff? If not I can remove him. Am intrigued by Costello. Miles didn't play him AT ALL during the last 1/2 dozen games even though the bench resembled a M*A*S*H unit. Meanwhile FH has him on the roster seemingly ahead of potentially Trueblood. ?? Also wondering if yesterday's rule allowing walk-ons to transfer immediately without having to sit a year may impact Jack Hoiberg from MSU? Quote Link to comment

Also wondering if yesterday's rule allowing walk-ons to transfer immediately without having to sit a year may impact Jack Hoiberg from MSU? The order of players I put was in random order. I really want Trueblood and Roby back, but I will understand if they both want to move on. This roster needs some shooters and immediate help as soon as possible. I believe it makes sense to raid the transfer market-especially grad transfers because that will open up the roster for 2020 to get more transfers and high school players. We will for sure get two transfer players that have to sit and possibly three. But we need at minimum two grad transfers ready to go because we need bodies. A big man and a good shooter are what we need and all three of the grad transfers I have listed check those boxes. Cam Mack is an electric playmaker and distributor which is what this offense needs. Right now we are at 8 scholarship players that leaves us with 5 remaining spots and we will also have to see if Roby goes through to the NBA or stays. Quote Link to comment

I totally agree with all of that, I was just intrigued by the fact that Costello played not at all for Miles at the end and yet Fred still has him on the roster. I wasn't saying one was listed ahead of the other. I also totally understand we need transfers and we need them NOW to build this roster, so walk-ons will be a very small input to what we expect to see on the floor by November I am impressed by the number of guys we are in on and are scheduling visits for this quickly. Now we need signatures! 1 Quote Link to comment

That being said, he reminds a bit of Jordy at times in terms of foot work-- gets a little "shuffle-happy" and gauges space by shoving his shoulder in to guys. The tape I saw made me think there isnt a lot of height in the league he was in, so he would have to get use to playing against guys who are 6'9-7'0 where he is giving up a few inches. He seems to only shoot layups/or bunnies. All of these things are me being hyper-critical and I assume the staff sees him as a project. I am a bit more apprehensive on guys who would take a schollie for 4 years but I dont pretend to be a great basketball mind. Quote Link to comment
HS_Coach_C Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Here's one for next year. 2 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 So the positions break down something like this: PG - SG - Harris, Davis, Burke, Thor, Green, Cheatham SF - Arop PF - Roby (?) C - Heiman Hopefully Mack fills the PG spot but it's looking like a lot of four-guard, run and gun to me. 1 Quote Link to comment
SouthLincoln Husker Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I think Davis & thor can play sf. Quote Link to comment

SouthLincoln Husker Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 We will probably run 3 guards, anyway. I was looking at last year's roster compared to the year and a few guy grew a little taller. That's why I mentioned Davis. Now we need mack & some big guys. Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Best outlook right now: PG: Mack G: Green G: Cheatham F: Roby C: Johnson - G: Burke G: Harris G: Davis Quote Link to comment
