Just wanted to get the story. Uh...did you read the first post on this thread? In other words Scout has some thread about Agau still being upset that Tai Webster was more hyped than him. Also, when did that Scout thread start? I might have inadvertently triggered it yesterday by retweeting that old thread Quote

HC at U of Tampa. Take those with as much seasoning as you see fit. Edited May 3, 2017 by uneblinstu hhcmatt 1 Quote
hhcmatt Posted May 3, 2017 Report Posted May 3, 2017 Just now, colhusker said: Dang it Dimes I can't remember what I had for lunch let alone the first post here. It was started yesterday evening. lol...I bumped up the chain of tweets from like 2 months ago yesterday and someone read it and now someone is quoting it like gospel I suspect that thread fails to mention the prior tweet regarding Agau's "non-recruiting process" were he was disappointed that they wouldn't also recruit his high school teammates. Why would Nebraska be expected to sign Omaha Central's squad back in the day when Rick Pitino didn't need to? Because Miles/Nebraska's not baller enough to be able to just get the services of a top flight player like Agau without some catch? Years old beefs go both way.

Just wanted to get the story. These people are ridiculous. Miles left Vegas to watch Agau play in Kansas City. He recruited the hell out of the kid. For anyone to create some back story here is being incredibly disingenuous. If the story was created by Agau, it is pathetic. Give me a break--I consider myself dissed because coach went to New Zealand right away, even though he later recruited me hard, I went to every football game with a nice sideline pass. If he meant anything he put in that tweet, he needs to get over himself. If anyone was disrespected, it was our team when the kid wore Georgetown gear on a visit.

dskurz Posted May 3, 2017 Author Report Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) If McVeigh was the last commit of that recruiting cycle, why does the OWH article about McVeigh's commitment reference Agau still visiting. Or what am I missing? http://www.omaha.com/huskers/foot--australian-shooting-guard-jack-mcveigh-commits-to-huskers/article_b4e33da2-95ed-11e4-8a6e-4fb3cc3c4160.html Quote Nebraska signed three players in November: 5-11 point guard Glynn Watson from Bellwood, Illinois; 6-7 forward Ed Morrow from Chicago; and 6-8 forward Michael Jacobson from Waukee, Iowa. Also, Andrew White, a 6-7 wing, will be eligible next season after sitting out this season as a transfer from Kansas. Nebraska is currently hosting Louisville transfer Akoy Agau, a former Omaha Central all-stater. Agau is leaving Louisville after 1½ seasons. Edited May 3, 2017 by dskurz Quote

My point was that the belief that McVeigh was the last spot and therefore NU didn't have room for Agau seems to contradict that we were still actively recruiting Agau even after McVeigh committed.

dskurz Posted May 3, 2017 Author Report Posted May 3, 2017 I guess I missed Sean Callahan's tweet basically asking the same thing. Was someone going to be shown the door if Agau did pick us? Quote
PointGuard Posted May 3, 2017 Report Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) After the basketball season, two more left. Not sure of the timeline, but Miles probably knew that their was going to be openings. Walter Pitchford Tarin Smith Edited May 4, 2017 by PointGuard English Norm Peterson 1 Quote
