Huskerpapa Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Any projection on a starting line up for next year is WAY to premature. I do believe Copeland reminds me a bit of Walt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rr52 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Anybody else concerned about Gill returning at full speed? According to what I've read he can't resume normal activities for 3 months and sports activities for 4-6 months. And there is no guarantee he comes back full speed. There could also be a little bit of a mental block on his "trusting" the knee. For some reason I just have bad feeling about this injury.

What he did to his knee is sometimes career threatening. rr52 and Silverbacked1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KZRider Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 At least for the moment, the signing of Copeland is significant enough to be mentioned under the "Top Headlines" banner at ESPN NCAAM page. I don't know how long the link will reflect that but it was cool to see as of my posting this. Nebrasketballer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the patellar tendon there are many more question marks than a typical knee surgery such as an ACL. A lot of people will just kind of put Gill's issue in the typical 'knee surgery' category and think he'll just have surgery, have a recovery period, and be back. That is not the case. If he comes back (patellar tendon rupture can be career threatening), there will be serious questions about what level he is able to return to.

Think Strickland, Lue, Moore & Hamilton as in 1995-96. That was probably our most talented (on paper). I sure hope you are right, though.

75unlgrad Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I think the addition of Copeland will cost Jordy the most minutes next year. As the season goes on, I see Morrow and Copeland starting with Jacobson as the first sub for either of these two. The maturity and talent level of these three will earn Mile's trust and they will play the most. I also see Roby making a big leap next year and could play the four with Morrow or Jacobson at the five spot -- again, taking minutes away from Jordy. (I really want to see Roby at the three spot -- with his vision, passing ability, driving ability, shooting, he needs to be on the wing to take advantage of his talents.) Mucho talent for the next two years -- can't wait. Nav78 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure hope you are right, though. I'll take 1991, which had a future first rounder coming off the bench in Piatkowski. King and Farmer were also NBA players and Bruce Chubick barely played. Not to mention guys like Scales, Hayes, and Owens that would all find minutes on that roster. And they won 26 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copeland was a five-star prospect coming out of high school, but the 6-foot-8 forward never progressed in his career with the Hoyas. He had bright moments as a freshman and looked good in flashes as a sophomore, but he lost playing time this year as a junior and eventually left the program. The connection here is pretty obvious: Kenya Hunter, a former assistant with Georgetown who recruited Copeland to the Hilltop, is now on Tim Miles’ staff in Lincoln. Copeland has one year of eligibility remaining. He will be eligible to play for the spring semester in the 2017-18 season or for the entire year in 2018-19. Honestly, Eeyore, I don't think the author really knows what he's talking about. That should make you feel better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good front court that would've performed well in the B1G, I think, but the guard play wasn't great on that squad. It showed in the tournament.

Chuck Taylor Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Not sure if this one had been posted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKDf-EakBYE Ignore the usual dunks, etc. that highlight videos always have and watch where he's shooting. The stuff around the elbow is killer for breaking 2-3 zones, not to mention the 3s. I agree that playing time is going to be difficult to figure out, but Copeland's game will have a major impact on our offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATM to me he's our backup PG next year and best case is that he comes in to give Watson breathers and/or because of foul trouble. Whoever is the better shooter/scorer between Palmer/Gill should be your starter at 2. Art Vandalay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifetimesker Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 It just seems that every time this program is delt a blow (ala AWIII, Anton), something good will happen like an improbable start to the conference, winning 2 on the road, and now Cope! I believe Coach Miles is just slowly adding key pieces here and there. Whether that's coaching staff or kids on the roster. My heart tells me that soon, this whole thing is going to come together and it's going to be really cool to watch! Silverbacked1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphilso1 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Anyone who's already penciling in next year's starting lineup needs to own an awfully large eraser. And I wouldn't overlook Horne as a possibility at the 2. rr52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlHessEatMy.... Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Dang surely King has some kids?? If they as tall or athletic as him we should be recruiting them for Mens or Womens team haha!! Was fun watching a game that far back...
