To me that sounds a bit like both Gordon and Tucker for the Houston Rockets.

Ooo.  I like the comparisons.  He’s probably right in between those two but I think you’re onto something.  He’s a finesse bruiser.

Exactly since Robin says that after every visit.

Has there ever been more arrows in a recruiting thread title?

[REDZONEDAN]

Committed per Robin Washut.  Not a surprise.

I hope he said the visit couldn't have gone much better. For what it's worth.

Dayum! @basketballjones gonna be excited.

[hskr4life]

I am sure this has already been answered, but he will be able to graduate and play right away next year.  Is that correct?

I didn't want to copy and paste from other site so had to change the wording a bit...

[thrasher31]

I'm completely on board. Fills a need right away. Scoring. And fits Fred's offense. 

 

The other stuff, I trust Fred and Matt in regards to this. 

[AuroranHusker]

GO BIG RED!

 

Big-time commit for the Huskers !!

I am.... but with reservations. Haven’t been jacked to see the choices he’s made post-grad. The potential story out of Wichita State is ugly (admittedly the woman’s story has changed, so who knows). I’ve also heard that Huggins can put up with quite a bit and deals with these type of young men a lot, to hear he couldn’t make it work is..... worrisome. 
 

He can play. And he’s a good kid with a good heart. Rough life and I feel for him. I truly hope he turns it around and I believe he can. But I’m also a teacher of emotional/behavioral disorder kids (I have kids who are Boystown type), and I’ve heard, “I’ve learned my lesson and I’ve changed,” a lot. And, well, you can guess what that batting % is. 
 

But Teddy owes me or us nothing, and he has nothing to prove to us. Only to himself and the people close to him that care and support him. We’re just dudes on message boards! So I’m hoping for the best, and truly want him to succeed. Hope this turns out to be a perfect fit for him. I enjoy watching him play. Wears his heart on his sleeve - will not be a guy other teams fans enjoy.

This is a better recruit than any high school player we could get right now, in my opinion. 

As a true freshman he was a rotation player on a team that got 2nd in the big 12, was #2 in the country at one point and went to the sweet 16 before losing to eventual champion Nova (he had 10 points in that game). 
 

West Virginia fans loved him and thought he would be their leading scorer as a sophomore. The team voted him rookie of the year over Wesley Harris, who started every game.

 

His body type and skill set appears to fit perfectly with what Hoiberg wants. Georges Niang: 6’7 230#

Melvin Ejim: 6’6 220#
Dustin Hogue: 6’6 220#
All of these guys could play at least 3 positions.

 

If there weren’t questions about off the court stuff, I think just about any team in the country would gladly take him. I have full confidence that this coaching staff will be great for Teddy on and off the court.
 

Welcome home, Teddy!

I just went back through and read this whole thread.  Kind of interesting.

I skipped the thread re-read and went with “War and Peace” instead. That Tolstoy dude, man, he cracks me up.

Ron Artest comes to mind as a comp.

You know the saying "You are the position you guard"? Well, in the B1G, how do you project him on the defensive end? Can he guard other teams' best perimeter players? Or would he do better on 4s? I haven't seen enough video to tell.

That’s a good question. At West Virginia, they almost always had Carter and Miles on the court harassing the other team’s guards. And Konate was always protecting the rim. So I’m just guessing that he was required to guard the 3 and 4 spots. I’ve watched one of his juco games on YouTube, and he’s not really required to guard anyone...

[Art Vandalay]

This should be pinned. Anyway his old coach was on the radio here a couple times this week and it was pretty interesting. Said Teddy has been better at Juco not getting Ts and other issues after they laid down the law. He said Teddy does not really trust a lot of adults so it will be good for him to be close to him and his old Boys Town AD. He said Teddy will listen to them even on hard conversations and he knows it’s his last chance. Similar when he got to Boys Town, not getting a 5th or 6th chance anymore and he was great there.

 

He also said he completely respects Fred and sees him as someone who can get him to the NBA. Fred said they need wing scorers and that is Teddy. 50-40-90 guys are rare at any level.

 

i am excited to see him in Red, hopefully he stays out of his own way.

Agree.  That said, I think it’s a given he’ll outscore his matchup basically every night.  

[thrasher31]

I'm REALLY hoping he's as good as this next year. We're going to need his scoring badly. He'll 95% likely be a starter. Just need to get him to campus. 

[jayschool]

Teddy still shooting 41 percent from 3-point land and 91 percent from the line (92 percent in the last 12 games).

Could someone make a Teddy Allen Free Throw Hype video?
