NU to sign 7 foot Russian center

[jimmykc]

According to anonymous sources, Igor Grigory Rasputin-Novy a seven foot center from the remote Siberian village of Pokrovskoe will be playing for the Huskers next season. Little is known about this unexpected recruit other than he is reportedly able to dunk without leaving the floor and plays in a full beard to honor his great-great grandfather. The only remaining hurdle , according to his coach/interpreter Sydd Finch is for him to pass the NCAA clearing house which should be no problem judging from the ease Nebraska had in signing Roburt Sallie.

He averaged 20 and 10 in the Siberian Summer League.  Me likey!

[Buglem]

Don't forget the 11 assists and 7 steals per game. I heard he's the best point-center in the history of the Siberian league!

[Blindcheck]

Wasn't Sydd Finch that great New York meets prospect that just never could get his head straight enough to pitch in the Majors?

[Norm Peterson]

I tried to find video on him, but I got a warning from homeland security about hacking foreign government websites.  There's talk of hauling me in front of Congress to testify about my attempt to contact the Russians, but my lawyers are working out an immunity deal.  I'll keep everyone posted.

I didn't know Russians hyphenated names.

Hearing from sources that he's a perfect fit for Creighton's system.

[jimmykc]

Rasputin was granted a special dispensation from Tsar Nicholas II at the behest of his wife Alexandra in 1907 to use the hyphen. And I'm not making this part up. By the way, I am thinking of petitioning Trump to grant me the use of a hyphen if the Huskers could actually get a 7 foot Russian to come. For the time being Putin still has them all tied up in his "army of trolls".

Michael Flynn was the lead recruiter on this one, give credit where it's due.

Hearing he has Trump University paraphernalia plastered all over his bedroom walls too.

I found that he has moved to California and is now attending a Jr. College there this semester.  

 

After being immersed in the culture there for only two months, "he" is now a "she", has changed her name to Gloria,  and now identifies as a woman.

 

Bad news for Miles but good news for Williams as she now plans to be a "lady" Husker.

I'd like to see him and Andre Almeida square off at an Old Country Buffet...

Don't we already have one of those on this Board?

Goodness, I knew this was an April Fools joke, and then a friend of mine sent a text about another kid who is about to provide us a commit.  We shall see

I'm not dumb but I can't understand, why she walks like a woman but talks like a man.  (sorry for the slight edit, Fred)

If only Jeriah and Ed had announced their transfers today.

LJS feature by Lange-Kubik reveals Walt Pitchford has been playing in Georgia/Russia this year (and likes cookies). Walt-Russia-Igor=coincidence? Hmmm. I will be absent from board until Tuesday so will predict ol' Roy will win another, just for the record. Cheers to all.

I expect that in 18 years there will be quite a few 6'9" kids running around the Caucacus who have a striking resemblance to the above picture.
