Jordy on Sharp and Benning

[big red22]

We got ourselves a personality on the team.  Reminds me of Barkley when he talks, or maybe even Big Easy from the Globetrotter.

 

Listening to him got me pretty pumped up, he has a lot of confidence too!

 

Sorry don't think the podcast is up yet guys

Solid piece here on Jordy.

 

I'm liking the sound of this kid (especially the Shakespeare part); I just hope his credits transfer.

Wow.  Great interview.  I love the fact that this kid has so many unique cultural perspectives he's been around.  That can be really great for team chemistry.  Seems like he'll add some confidence to the squad.

Is it fair to expect NCAA Tournament now? Do they need any more pieces?

-Why did Nebraska get Tshimanga over his other offers?

-Is this the perfect fit for Nebrasketball?

-Also, News of the day: Roughned Odor rocks Jose Bautista, is this now the gold standard for baseball fights?

-Also, robber gets beat down by a dude who looks like Harry Potter. Should this robber retire?

Are there multiple lineups that would work?

Also, dude loves pizza so much it defies logic. Do you love pizza this much?

Well, I guess we now know who will inherit Benny Parker's number from last year.

I haven't seen a whole lot of pictures of Jordy, but even I can tell right away there there is a pretty significant difference between him and Jake Hammond.

He's going to need to cut the sides

That's Maric-esque, innit?

It's we don't need to beg the staff to make sure he's eating enough steak at the training table-esque!

Also Maric was 265# and 6'11" as a freshman

Jordy was over 300# in high school and has completely transformed his body.

 

He could be 265# if he wants to be.  I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see him in the 245# range by the opening tip of the first game.

 

I thought he was much lighter than the 270# that Robin Washut says he's listed at.  I don't see him listed on the Nebraska roster yet, though.

 

Edited:  I see it now.  It's on the news release, not the roster itself.  Again, I thought Jordy had dropped a ton of weight, down to the 230 range (see ESPN profile) and that he'd have to add weight to get back up to play at 265 or 270.  But now Rivals is showing him at 270 as is 2/47.  They must have updated after our press release because I don't think that's what they had him at before.

Props to Gabe Miles, btw as he was mentioned by name on both of the audio clips in this thread

Jordy and his coach Jacque Rivera on Hail Varsity

Starts at the 30:00 minute mark

To me Jordy has the sort of personality I was hoping Walt P would have.  He's easily going to be a fan favorite.
