I wonder if any hyperbolic Omaha writers want to cry about this one. Great get. Twice the player Arop is (no offense to the kid). Outstanding offensive talent, and an absolute steal under the radar.

Alright I'm really gonna be that guy and ask what makes him "twice the player." And I'm purely asking. No agenda. Totally open to hear what you ha e to say.

i'm not sure if nana is twice the player, but he's clearly a better fit. it's pretty difficult to be successful in tim's offense if you can't shoot. aguek would have struggled here.

 

i think the omaha writers shut up after they realized no decent D1 schools were interested in Aguek after his recruitment was reopened. now that i think of it, i haven't heard of any d1 school officially offering aguek. anyone know?

Looks to be a very, very good pick up for us.  49r mentioned he is comparable to Horne.  I respectfully disagree.  I cannot tell in the limited video how quick he is, but he certainly appears athletic.  He is a guard/wing hat seems to have more similarities to a hybrid mix between Shavon and TP.  Horne  is a power player that appears to have the ability to step outside.  NuNu appears to be an outside player that may be able to mix it up a bit inside.

 

The great news is that he has an appearance of being both a shooter and a scorer.

The book on Nana seems to be that he's a B1G level athlete and can get and make his shot.  I think there is work to be done on defense, ball handling, and probably on all aspects of his game which would explain why he's not rated by anyone. If he continues to develop gives us the spot up shooting, SG defending player this team needs.

No offense taken.  He can fill it up--very pure, natural shooter who can get his own shot.  Plus, he's easily athletic enough to be an excellent B1G defender.  He fits a major need at the 2.  We have a lot of 3-4 swing guys, but we don't really have any 2-3 swing guys.  Great job from TM and co nabbing another Illinois kid.

At least it says that he can create his own shot...AW3 could not!

The book on Nana seems to be that he's a B1G level athlete and his dad thinks he can get and make his shot. I think there is work to be done on defense, ball handling, and probably on all aspects of his game which would explain why he's not rated by anyone. If he continues to develop gives us the spot up shooting, SG defending player this team needs.

Nana's defensive issues wouldn't be lack of speed

I did too, only I read it as "a more athletic and explosive Andrew White."
