I believe he attempted a 3 against Wayne St and missed. Even though it doesnt technically count.

[Huskerpapa]

I will say this, after watching Jervey last night, I believe we have our PG for next year...and we won't have to be concerned with his outside shot or his ability to take it to the basket or his ability to dish the assist.  The concern may be his defense, but he will likely be fine there as well.

[Art Vandalay]

I like Harris but we could have really used X. Shooting 40% from 3 so far (I know it’s way early still) and had 20 today. This is going to bum me out for a few years, really liked him.

[bigFRED]

This was the kick in the groin I needed today. Being reminded that not only did we lose a game, but a good PG

[nustudent]

He’s really really good

Yup. This was probably the biggest blow to losing Kenya.

Don't think there's any probably about it

[FredsSlacks]

didn't realize he would be this good of a shooter from day 1. we definitely missed out.

 

i'm still an amir fan though. he's got length and athleticism that you can't teach. if he puts in the work, he'll be very good down the road.

‘Without a doubt, he is exactly what we needed in a true PG, was real high on him.

[B-town hoopsfan]

This one is gonna sting for about 4 years. He’s so fast and gets in the lane with ease. Imagine if he was comin off our bench

Bohanon couldn't breathe down the stretch last night with Johnson on him. His demeanor & speed are both incredible. I am sick that we lost him. 

[bigFRED]

Made me sick watching him last night. The "What-ifs" will kill you

[B-town hoopsfan]

Gotta be the toughest recruit we have lost in the miles era doesn’t it? Not counting transfers. I’d say white was probably tougher if you want to count transfer

Respectfully disagree

2-4 years of XJ >>>>>>> 1 year of AW.

 

XJ could have been a jersey in the raptors dude here if he keeps developing.

So he could be a dinosaur?

[busticket]

I didn’t realize Kenya leaving was why he decommitted.  Makes sense but still hurts like a son of a gun.  He would have been the perfect replacement for Glynn.

Don’t disagree Xavier’s the better player but white leaving essentially ruined a season. I don’t see Xavier bein the reason we go in the pooper again 

[Silverbacked1]

Guys, guys, guys... we know if he came here he would have either:

 

1) Got caught in a car in a park with a girl and. left. 

2) take something away from a fellow student and then leave.

3) not like his amount of playing time or where he was asked to play and then leave

4) fall in love with the Runza and gain about 40 pounds

5) no speaka Engrish

6) or can we see that paper you wrote in 5 th grade to see if you can get into Nebraska?

 

Sound familiar?

Pretty sure he meant he would be playing in Toronto.

[royalfan]

Can’t assume he would be shooting this well here.  People sometimes don’t excel shooting here fir whatever reason.  

[khoock]

You guys keep bumming me out. Everytime i see theres new posts in the recruiting thread, i get excited thinking/praying something might be developing with a big man but its just ppl fawning over Xavier Johnson.
