    Really difficult to predict how these athletes with similar skills, body types, personalities, etc. will compare against the other based upon third party evaluations and highlight films. Who will adjust best to living far from home, academic responsibilities, teammates, and other non-basketball factors? The most important comparison at this point is that one of these young men wants to play for Nebraska and the other didn't. That's enough for me for now.

    I think the guy we already have (Jordy) is probably better than anyone we'll be able to pick up on the free agent market at this point. He's still learning, still developing, has stone hands, but fabulous size. His defense was improving even if his offense was a bit stagnant. I expect he'll show further improvement this year. Duby and Tanner combined for 315 minutes last year. In 33 games, that means we gave less than 10 min/game in the post to players other than Isaac, Isaiah and Jordy. If all three of those guys come back, do you really see that 10 min/game number increasing? Here's a better question that will address available minutes: Does Palmer move to the starting 2 and either Roby or Copeland to the 3? Leaving Copeland or Roby at the 4 and then Jordy at the 5? Best 5 players will start and get the bulk of the minutes. So, right now, we're probably looking to see whether Thomas Allen is better at the 2 than Jordy is at the 5. And the guys in between shift accordingly.

    In his freshman season, Roby hit 4 of 20 threes for a .200 percentage. This past season he shot 17 of 42 threes for a .405 percentage. At that rate of improvement, he should be over .800 next season.

  5. If he doesn't shoot much and doesn't shoot very well when he does shoot, then there's no reason not to break his shot down completely and build it back up from scratch. Isaiah Roby's shot came a very long way just from the end of his freshman year to his sophomore year. It can be done.

    I think Jack needed to make a few more McTreys if he wanted his jersey retired.* *sarcasm post. I realize you were referring to Lue rather than our most recent #10.

    I think we can all agree that Miles has been on fire since his limited contract extension. Huge Kudos to him. Doing so much with the little bit he was given.

  10. Gates reached out to Miles. This is a Miles hire. It’s not a Moos hire. This has nothing to do with any conspiracy or any Moos future head coach plan.

    Found some older film from when he was a sophomore and a junior and I think he has a better looking platform to build a shot on than Xavier did. I think I mentioned when Xavier decommitted that it might be a blessing in disguise for me to not have to watch that ugly looking shot for the next 4 years. I don't think that'll be the issue with Amir. Take a look: Following sophomore season (and that's him in the thumbnail, by the way; looks good to me): Following junior season:

    Good point. Probably did not need to shoot a lot when you can get to the rim. If he is that good of a slasher, he just has to be able to hit a set open 3 to keep teams honest.

  13. Also why shoot jump shots when I can beat every kid off the dribble and either have a lay up or dunk. (and maybe and1)? Love the rim, like the 3.

  14. Top 35 is a pretty dang good place to start the season, especially with a group of upperclassmen like we will have. Sure as heck beats top 95 like we were going in to last year.

    I am not sure that Amir can't shoot. It perhaps is a safe assumption that it isn't his greatest strength. If you looked at his various video's, he was not placed in a position that he needed to shoot. He defended, he penetrated, and he either scored or distributed the ball off of that penetration. It looked to me that his handles were effective enough that nobody could defend him on the perimeter. He also was willing to do the dirty clean up work. A middle-aged wannabe coach can look at tape and say someone is this or that, but the body-of-work will not be gradable until he is on the floor with our team and our staff. I do not think Amir is a sloppy second to Xavier, rather I believe we scored ourselves one of the top 200 players in the country who will complement our team moving forward. And yes...we need another big. I am hoping that our staff has one in their back pocket. I have heard a rumbling, that if true, will bring a smile to our collective faces. But that rumbling may be more of a wish than a fact, so we will see if anything spills out in the next month...

    Maybe I'm more worried about adding pieces for this season than the future right now. If this year doesn't go well, the future changes pretty dramatically. We aren't far away. Id just assume make sure we have all the pieces we need for this year as opposed to holding on to a low percentage shot next year,

    Honestly, I like talent. I like fit better. This guy seems to have both. Length can't be taught and defensively ... think ron harper. Harris is an inch shorter but you get the point... get a guy like that out top and you'll cause fits by default. You know one certain member of our staff has to be drooling thinking on that front. Fit matters. Xavier might be all that ... And no one doubts he will be good (that I have seen anyway). This just seems a more natural fit for someone like molinari to groom into a defensive terror.

  19. http://keaneyblue.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6862 URI thread on the former commit Sounds a lot like Evan Taylor. Tall PG skill set with the ability to lock down a guard. ET eventually developed a 3pt shot by not overdoing it. Will Harris and when? One other thing to note: 4 different HS in 4 different years and might have decommitted from Rhode Island because they recruited another guard after he signed. (Might have decommited to find a bigger school). To me screams helicopter parents and runaway bride if he doesn't play enough. Maybe at some point he will care about DONU but I wouldn't bet on it. Time will tell.

  20. seems like the point guard version of roby. might need a year to develop but could be real good in a couple years.

  21. I got no idea who is better because all I've watched is the short highlight clips, but it doesn't seem clear as to who the "experts" think is better either. 247 has Johnson slightly higher at the position ranked #20 vs. #28 in the nation among combo guards, Rivals lists them both as point guards and they have Harris higher at #32 nationally compared to Johnson's #42. I think right now it's a "wait and see" to determine which one is the better player. If you've seen more of them on tape or in person, I would defer to you.

  22. I like this pickup a lot. Defensively, he’s able to switch off any screen. Offensively, any player with handles and that type of length at PG will cause stress on the defense, even if they only hit at a 30% clip from deep. This kid should pop in a tape of Jalen Brunson and hit the weight room hard. If I were Miles, I’d have options for him to post-up a few times a game if he has that type of game.

  29. My favorite part about that story was how impressed he was with Miles being involved with the recruiting which certainly had a lot to do with us being down an assistant
