2017 PG Mark Smith -> Illinois->Mizzou-KSU

[AuroranHusker]

LET'S DO THIS, MARKY MARK!!!!!

[FredsSlacks]

one thing we have going is we can offer playing time. he could easily start at the 2 from day 1, especially if the palmer rumors turn out to be true.

[throwback]

Hopefully he automatically moves schools that fire their coaches to the bottom of his list.

Was told last night Misery is in the picture now.  Not sure if true.

Would make sense.   Wasn't he committed there for baseball?

He was but was because of former baseball coach.  Time will tell, would be a wonderful pick up.

While true...but he obviously felt comfortable enough with location.

 

Dynamite pickup, but hope we are exploring backup options.

Yup

that's going to make for a pretty hectic weekend...

[uneblinstu]

He's planning to take several unofficials, right? Lincoln is a short drive from Manhattan.

Better idea... 

 

Miles and staff are standing in a line at MHK when her arrives.  They are standing right next to Husker One with a scholarship in hand.  They invite him onto our own personal plane and wine and dine him the rest of the weekend where he commits without taking that visit to OSU.

 

Whaaaaa!?!?!  OK I'm awake, I'm awake!!

[basketballjones]

Doesn't remind me of Tai at all. Reminds me more of one of the Harrison twins at Kentucky. 

 

Tai and him are different builds. Smith looks like a running back, a bully on the drive, low center of gravity. Tai's more like a wide receiver. That might make sense to only me and I'm fine with that.

 

Smith also looks like a much better outside shooter than Tai but who knows.

[hhcmatt]

No one coming up with the Erick Strickland comparison?

[jimmykc]

How about Lance Jeter?

[Norm Peterson]

Washut has an article this morning the headline for which says (paraphrased) despite his recruiting heating up, Huskers still holding strong.

 

Hmmm.  Interesting.

 

If they can swing this kid, it would be gigantic.  (Notice I didn't say YUGE?)  I said it before, but this kid is frickin' good.

[TourneyBound]

has a cousin on Nebraska baseball team and best friend is committed to run track at Nebraska.  Has to help some.  just need a visit!!!

[FredsSlacks]

miles will have to find a guard somewhere. our backcourt needs help for sure. not sold on gill or taylor as a starter, and palmer is a mystery at this point.

Also sounds like he is pretty good friends with Nana and I hear he and Nana talk quite a bit.  Everything seems to want to point towards the Big Red, but I just don't know what it is that gives me that "I'm going to be disappointed" feeling.

Because it is a feeling, felt often for Husker basketball fans hsker4life!

That and he's being recruited by some true blue bloods... Here's to hoping we can successfully pitch immediate playing time and the chance to do something that's never been done before. 

[Huskerpapa]

Hmmm, stranger things have happened...just saying.

Did I mention that Tom Izzo has the clap?  And pimps his players out to the professors in the sociology department?  And he's secretly suffering from congestive heart failure and might die next month, in which case, Michigan State is likely to replace him with Jud Heathcote's dimwitted bastard son?  These are things I'd want to know if I was looking at different programs for my college career.

 

And someone ought to tell Izzo that Mark Smith has been known to practice celibacy before marriage.  And reportedly may have inhaled.  Just saying.
