Random transfer of a kid out of Des Moines

 

 

Long, athletic kid with a solid midrange and in game. Would definitely be a good get to back up Jordy if we didn't already have someone in that role

He would have to sit for a year and Dube is gone.

Is he going to be better than a Brady Heiman if that was the choice you had to make?

Take both if Steele is even interested in coming to Lincoln.  Allows Heiman to redshirt his Fr year and then a year to back up Steele and Jordy.

I'd have to think Steele would be interested and this is more of a 'Are we interested' scenario. Is this guy good enough to spell Jordy in the B1G for two years?  If so you could basically bookend him and spend the rest of the time recruiting elite combo guards and point forwards

Think we are on the same page here.

If you take this particular guy does this close the door on Heiman? I know that we don't ever use all of our scholarships anyway but theoretically it could happen.

I'd guess no. It would allow you to redshirt Heiman, which he definitely needs.

So, there's not a lot out there in English about this guy.  He's Swedish/Nigerian?  Stands about 6'8" and wingspan over 7'. 

 

Realizing that he's a foreign dude, the video above makes it look like he has a fairly American-looking game, and it appears he has decent range on his jumper.

 

I'm going to guess that he played 1 season in juco and would be immediately eligible because he probably would have qualified out of HS and went juco because nobody knew about him.

 

I'd say bring him in, redshirt him a year to develop him, and then he'd join Thomas Allen and Nana Akenten in next year's sophomore class, which needed a big man in it.  Just looking at the video, it doesn't seem like a stretch to me to say he's scholarship worthy.

Does seem to have nice range.  Some of those gyms are interesting places.

 

Yeah, but he also drives the ball pretty well and he has some fairly well developed back-to-the-basket post moves.

 

I think it'd be worth a shot redshirting him and developing him and seeing what we get out of it.  And, besides, I always felt we needed a big in that class.

As far as I can tell, KC averaged around 10-12 minutes per game, so 3 & 3.7 is actually pretty decent in spot duty.

Would be in the same class as Nana
