I think Chang's length makes up for any lack of physicality on the defensive side. And it's not like he won't get stronger. As far as his offense goes...the kid is a sniper. Ball weighs < 1.5 lbs I agree with what Mitch says. Dude is a sniper. A 6'7" Steph Curry. Oh, but he was skinny as a sophomore in high school, so maybe we don't want ... ... to judge what he'll be like physically in two years when he's a college freshman. How's that?

I'm happy to say that somewhere out there there's a picture of Tear'a Laudermill and her parents standing in front of that same granite ball during her official recruiting visit and the gentleman on the other side of the camera was none other than yours truly. (Edited to add: Just for the sake of clarity, it was THEIR camera, not mine. I didn't just snap some picture of Tear'a and her folks as I was walking by. They asked and I happily obliged.)

Erstad made his MLB debut the same year he was drafted, ultimately spending 10 seasons with the Angels and winning a World Series in Anaheim in 2002. He also made the All-Star team twice and won three Gold Gloves."

What's that stuff on top of his head? Fungus or something?

HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY PLAYER!That being said, we are asking all games are played at the park. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That's just where he scores the most.

I really do think this would be a fun set of game (to 15) to watch. No frickin' running clock. Play to 15, man. And then run it back 6 times. Who wins best of 7? The Huskers' fans if they could watch it.

I think 49r did that to be sporting about it.

What are ya? The frickin' grammar cop? Because he also misspelled "hailing." Just, y'know, saying.

I took Team 49r as well. Both teams have clear strengths. I'm going with guards and shooters over bigs. I think these would be two pretty competitive teams. But I think the Fightin' 49rs win in 7.

It's not even close to that simple though we've grabbed a top 100 for this year (Palmer) ATM there is one former 4 star who is immediately eligible (LJ Rose of Houston). I don't think the playing time he wants is here for him as he's not coming here to be Watson's backup. The rest of these types of players that are currently transferring either aren't interested in us or never lived up to the potential for whatever reason (think Moses Abraham) That's what i'm trying to get at -- somewhere in there in the second line that you didn't quote i said 'if it fits'. the thing is... with morrow and jacobsen i'd be hesitant to take a 4. with palmer and roby i'd be hesitant to take a 2/3. so you're basically left with a 1 who thinks he's better than watson (good luck with that) or a 5. we're way more likely to try and get a high-end high schooler in the next recruiting cycle IMO. We lose two 2s to graduation after this coming season. I would not be hesitant to take another top 100 type shooting guard transfer to sit out if we can still find one at this juncture. Best option would have been a grad transfer center like the kid from Louisville who never materialized. Seems unlikely that would happen now. I'd go get a 2 or save it for the 2017 class.

Notably, both teams field more Rivals 4-star players than all Husker teams combined from 2000-2014.

Full-court, first team to 15 wins each game, run it back 6 times. Here are the teams: GATA Pimps: #1. Andrew White III - SG - (2012 Rivals 4*) #3. Jordy Tshimanga - C - (2016 Rivals 3*) #6. Tai Webster - G - (2013 UR) #8. Ed Morrow Jr. - F - (2015 Rivals 4*) #10. Jeriah Horne - F - (2016 Rivals 3*) 6th Man: Malcolm Laws - G - (2014 Rivals UR) Fightin' 49rs: #2. Glynn Watson Jr. - PG - (2015 Rivals 4*) #4. Anton Gill - G - (2013 Rivals 4*) #5. Isiah Roby - F - (2016 Rivals 4*) #7. Michael Jacobson - F - (2015 Rivals 3*) #9. Jack McVeigh - F - (2015 Rivals UR) 6th Man: Nick Fuller - F - (2014 Rivals 3*) Pick your winner!

And I'm sure Pimp Mario greatly appreciates the fact that you took didn't take the last ball-handler left on the board. Big shout out and thanks to Pimp Mario and 49r for help with this 1st Annual Off-season HHC pick-up game at the H. Next, the gambling ...

It makes total sense. When football isn't in season, a portion of the Memorial stadium sellout crowds who are from Omaha attend Creighton basketball games and the ones from Lincoln watch the Husker hoopsters at PBA. It's like the migration of Sandhills Cranes. Next fall, our fine feathered friends from Omaha will be back to wearing red and migrating to Lincoln on Saturdays.

49r, go ahead and pick a 6th player so that you have some depth, just in case you want to do some subbing.

Updated ...

James Palmer isn't eligible.

Alright, well, that makes a stronger case for what you said. I always said if Ed keeps shooting the way he has been, he'll get a 4th star.

He's pretty straight-line fast for a guy who weighs 280#.

Congrats on the big number, Auroran. Keep rolling.

Can it be both? A favor to them and a trap game to us?

I like Ed Chang and hope we land him, so I'm not saying this to diminish Ed at all, but ... Your premise -- the fact that the class is ranked #23 (actually #25) -- doesn't prove your conclusion. The class is ranked so highly primarily because of one player: Rivals #32 player Shamorie Ponds. They also have an under-the-radar German kid who wound up as a Rivals 4-star but only had a handful of offers from American colleges/universities. Good player but definitely one they had to beat the bushes to find and get involved with. The other player in their class was a 3-star juco kid, so ...

If you want to take over from here, I'll gladly defer back to you dimes. So far you've got Watson, Gill and Roby. In other words, you've recruited 3 Rivals 4-stars without even trying.

Beautiful picture. Welcome, Isaiah. Can't wait to see you in scarlet and cream and dribbling that basketball in a game for real.
