Norm Peterson Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Just tried to find video on Youtube. Found some game film from this last season. I'm guessing he's the tall guy, #32 in white. Didn't watch much of the game so this isn't any in-depth analysis. Looks a bit raw. Not taking the game over by any stretch. But he's light-years ahead as a junior compared to where Matt Atewe was as a senior. He's athletic. He seems to understand the game better than Atewe. Atewe always just seemed lost out there; this kid makes some decent passes from the high post, chased down some loose balls, altered and blocked a couple of shots, etc. But, again, he didn't take over the game. He was clearly a role player among the guys on his team. JMOO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Peterson Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Good find, Karl. His perimeter shooting ability and flashes of ability to put the ball on the floor are what get him that 4th star and move him into the top 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree Norm a bit raw but I like how he gets up and down the floor for 6'9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing equates to the Great Ship Almeida. Looks like another one of those long & lean prospects that Miles is so fond of... Nebrasketball will be the all-name team before long! Names bandied about as 2016 ('17*) NU prospects include Deep Gak* (?), Agueth Arop*, Wenyen Gabriel, Hasahn French*, Barret Benson, Kwe Parker, Mitch Lightfoot, Timmel ('Melo') Eggleston and on & on... colhusker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Taylor Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I'm not going to get excited about a kid when we're the 18th offer. Just don't see us beating out UConn, Maryland, Virginia etc. when we're late to the party. Sorry, I woke up grumpy this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
