Chuck Taylor Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Central junior, 6-9 and 260 pounds. Didn't see a thread for him. Don't be fooled by stats, his teammates don't get him the ball. Conditioning might be an issue, but he's a big kid.

Huskerpapa Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Looks to be a pretty decent project. Good size, but I have to wonder about his true height. I see him listed on various sites from 6'7" to 6'9". Iowa, Iowa State and Creighton were all on him prior to us; not sure that matters or not. He seems to have a decent basketball IQ and appears nimble on his feet given his size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Taylor Posted December 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 He had 12 points last night in a win over Millard North. Central could be good if they got him the ball consistently, but the guards think they're the show. North's guards figured it out last year and rode Patton to their best season in years. cwg, you're right about Iowa State and the school that shall not be named being in on already, but I think they're both waiting to see how he develops. I haven't heard much about Iowa's contacts with him, but don't doubt it's true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uneblinstu Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 That's a big boy. With two more years before he steps into a college court, he could be a mountain of a man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivals: http://sports.yahoo.com/nebraska/basketball/recruiting/player-Isaiah-Chandler-184573 Video: He is similar in size to Barrett Benson but appears more athletic than what I thought of Benson. Must have a pretty long wingspan to get to some of those shots he swatted at. Appears to have decent hands, but we didn't see him shoot other than to dunk it or lay it in off of dishes. Would like to see what he looks like shooting a mid-range jumper and posting up. Can he shake his defender? Can he create some space? He has a big body. What's the leg hair situation? Any chance he grows another inch or two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basketballjones Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 6'9" is a stretch...... And if he is, he doesn't play like it. Project for sure, but he's young and developing late - so definitely one to keep an eye on. hhcmatt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobcat402 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Def somebody to keep an eye to see if he can grow a little more and add to his game, but i dont think we offer a scholarship just quite yet, i feel like deep down, he's a UNO type guy maybe D2 who whatever its called now a days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleujay Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 i think this is a good option for him, he may be able to get some PT early on and can develop into a solid 4 year player. but right now I'm not sure he is high major material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That comment was off-the-cuff based on the Harriman family being in Nebraska. It looks like another assistant, Alan Huss, might be the lead recruiter for Poor Bear. Found this from the Albuquerque Journal: "The tweet was posted after a weekend official recruiting visit to UNM that was spearheaded by Lobo assistant coach Alan Huss and included attending Friday night’s Lobo Howl event in the Pit..."

Chuck Taylor Posted October 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Good spot to land. Still a good program, even with Alford gone. Slipped last year but the Top 144 countdown has them at 55 and second in the MWC this year. Lack of consistency and non-basketball stuff held him back, change of scenery might do him good. Definitely has the physical ability and is good around the basket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first glance, I read it as "At this moment, I'm going to New Mexico, but that might not always be the case." That's how I normally use that phrase, so that's how I read it.

Cowboy Kermit Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 I feel that we would've been in on Chandler if 1. We weren't so forward heavy to begin with 2. He didn't play so soft for a center 3. Academics weren't an issue 4. The last player Miles went after from Omaha Central didn't end up like Deverell Biggs did. Interesting to see Harriman pounce on a Nebraska kid though. Can only wish him the best, but also hope he doesn't add to the in state stigma that continues to plague Coach Miles in the media.

He's an inside player, we need guys to bang. You want to tell him he's soft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
