Fullbacksympathy Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 This is a 5 star recruit that, at times, lived up to it when healthy his sophomore year. He's literally capable of dropping 30 on some nights. Absolutely huge get. We now have the best front court in the league next season. Easily. And this kid can be a legitimate 3 at 6' freaking 9". Wow. HB and AuroranHusker 2 Quote

huskerbaseball13 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 So where does he fit in on next years team? Does this push Jacobsen to first off the bench? If everybody sticks around(minus Fuller)...man we will have a lot of options next year. Very hard to predict how the starting lineup will shake out. Quote

Dead Dog Alley Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 We now have two former teammates of Agau. Maybe he will grad transfer to North Carolina or Duke and we can get a third... Quote

Defensively he seems like a 3 who can at points play a stretch 4. Offensively, seems like a guy capable of successfully shooting from anywhere, especially mid-range. I had someone hitting me up on twitter about how the lineup will look for next year. Man, I don't even know what color of jerseys we're wearing on Saturday.

Yep, we've got a 2 1/2 year window. It *should* be a lot of fun. If they can sneak in this year and build on it next year, they should have no problem back filling that crowded sophomore class. The rest of this year and next year are huge for the direction of the program. Quote

Can you please tell me who can play the point next year if Watson get's injured or is in foul trouble? From the looks of Palmer he is not a ball control guy. Gill is not a point guard... Taylor is our best bet, but I would not feel comfortable We need a point guard to go along with Akenten for sure Quote
49r Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 http://hailvarsity.com/s/818/georgetown-transfer-isaac-copeland-commits-to-nebraska Nebraska basketball received some big news Monday morning when Georgetown transfer Isaac Copeland committed to the Huskers. He was at Pinnacle Bank Arena for Nebraska’s 93-90 double-overtime win over Iowa last Thursday night, which impressed the 6-foot-9 prospect both on and off the court.“I was surprised to see such a big crowd, especially given the time,” Copeland said. “It was over winter break and stuff so there weren’t a lot of students but everybody in the city supports the university. It was a great environment.” Click the link above for the full article Quote

Maybe Roby could play a little if needed hhcmatt and HB 2 Quote
ShortDust Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 Miles will get a pg in this class, whether it's hs or juco or grad xfer Quote
49r Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) Barfy's take: "Copeland becomes the highest-ranked player at Nebraska according to recruiting services, which became prevalent in the early 2000s. He is the ninth current Husker on scholarship who was ranked in a national Top 150 list out of high school." Edited January 9, 2017 by 49r Quote

And I'd be fine with either a JUCO or H.S. for that backup-type PG, as well. Quote
hskr4life Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 The 9th Rivals 150 player.... let that sink in... before there is even a thought that Miles should be on the hot seat. BjoeHusker, Red Rum, Bugeaters1 and 2 others 5 Quote
Fullbacksympathy Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 I think it'll be something like this: Watson -- new pg -- Gill Taylor -- Nana -- Gill Copeland -- Roby Jacobson -- Copeland -- Horne Morrow -- Jordy Copeland pretty much allows us to do anything we want at the 3-5 and could be a nightmare stretch 4 or 5 if we need a change in scenery. It's fantastic that TM can now put ALL of his energy into getting one point guard. I mean, holy hell that's going to be one amazing senior class with Morrow, Jacobson, Copeland, and Watson.

I still feel Roby has the highest ceiling of all of them too! Quote
Coaches kid Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 This addition will make next year's the most complete team we've had since Miles' has been here - in fact, maybe since Nee's era. Hopefully, they will be able to produce some great results. Quote
Coaches kid Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 LK - I think you're forgetting Palmer, the transfer from Miami. Some guys who watch practice regularly tell me he's one of the best players on the team right now. I temper that comment because people told me the same thing about Gill, but they say Palmer plays with a confidence and swagger unlike any of the other guys on the team. He's a guy who can play at either the 2 or 3 position. Fullbacksympathy 1 Quote
