AW-III IS BACK FOR HIS SENIOR SEASON (SOMEWHERE)

[Silverbacked1]

I think back in my day if you were a senior you could get drafted.  I don't think there were any papers, or maybe that is why the phone never rang.

 

I would have been perfect now of days because I was a pretty good long snapper.

gota get used to this being a regular thing now. I like it a lot. Writers  probably should adjust how they write these headlines, since the big thing is obviously agent/no agent. So maybe, "Andrew White III declares for draft. NO AGENT!" Will cut down on cardiac arrests.

I haven't seen any writers mentioning this without the 'no agent' line.

So this will be another Ryan Anderson deal...right?...right?

[Silverbacked1]

Except that the powers that be won't pass the paper around so that everybody can have a good laugh.

My senior year at NWU I stayed home for the NFL draft.  You know just in case.

Good thing you didn't show up to the green room.

After watching the Clippers several times this season, I would tell AWIII to study JJ Reddick. Reddick underwent a basketball "makeover" of sorts. He improved his ability to create opportunities and score off of the dribble and had the best year of his career, averaging over 16 per game. Granted, AWIII is a way better rebounder and a bigger body than Reddick, but I think they have comparable offensive skills. That said, I personally can't stand Reddick, but appreciate what he's done with his game.

I would have had one fine looking suit to wear!

Good move by Drew.  In the end, I hope that this move benefits both Drew and the Huskers

Doesn't sound like overseas is really on the radar

 

 

White also is graduating this semester, which has led him to consider turning professional. He said he hasn’t looked into playing overseas, but might study it if there are no NBA options by May 25.

“Never say never,” he said, “but I haven’t thought about that too much at this point.”

I don't see him passing up his last chance to play in Allen Field House, among other things. If he does, though...get ready to be the consensus preseason #13 pick in the conference.

Would "the NBA" include the D league in his mind, I wonder?

I highly doubt he would skip his senior year to play in the D-League.  I think he's going to make the actual league after his senior year.  I love that he knows he's a specialist.  He has the tools to a be the Bruce Bowen model.

I really doubt playing another game at Allen Fieldhouse will have any impact on his decision to return to NU or not.

[Silverbacked1]

I think that education is huge in his family.  So getting to start on his Masters (for free) might also help tip the scales in our favor.

I agree but that is assuming he wants to get a Master's degree.  If he is just going to stick around for one year to play basketball and doesn't plan to ever finish his Masters, then it might not make a difference.  A lot of wins next season will decided by if he comes back or not.

[khoock]

Surprised more players from our team didn't do it. You get specific feedback from NBA people about what you need to improve on and it doesn't mess with your eligibility.

[khoock]

I'm a huge NBA fan but am far from a talent scout, realistically how much of a chance does AW3 have? Obviously his shooting gives him a chance but he is not athletic enough to play the 2 and even the 3 could be a stretch as he would slightly be on the small and unathletic side of that position in the NBA.

Also, does anyone know is it NBA or bust? Or is he considering overseas as an option?

[hhcmatt]

I think he would have to have a spectacular combine. He's got the size and skill-set to become a NBA player at some point in his life but I just don't think he's there right now. 

 

Maybe this is me being selfish but to me I think with the returning talent on this team getting him some better shot opportunities I think he has a chance to up his NBA value in a Buddy Heild-esque way.  Even though he had a great year shooting I don't think he's hit his ceiling.

I hope he returns, more information I hear, more I think he may go. If he does leave, I'm all off the Tim Miles train.

You'd jump off the Miles train because he brought in someone good enough to go pro early?

 

Really???

So you're saying if he leaves it has more to do with negative inner workings of the Tim Miles program rather than it being a good thing that we are getting players good enough to sniff the NBA? So from my limited perspective it seems the only way he would/should leave Nebraska is if he gets drafted. I would agree that it would turn some heads if AWIII chose not to return to Nebraska in favor of overseas or anything else that's non-NBA. Are you suggesting that you are hearing that this could become reality and that it's because of Tim Miles and the program here?

Doesn't even make sense... I had to read it twice to make sure I read it right.
