Once again I'll bring up the fact that his father was a college athlete as pointing toward him being at least a Div 1 contributor vs a guy who never develops at this level. Why not take him instead of leaving a spot open. I don't understand self probation. atskooc 1 Quote

This has basically been my thought regarding Wingett. And it still might happen. hhcmatt 1 Quote
busticket Posted July 20, 2017 Report Posted July 20, 2017 With 5 spots in the 2018 class I would absolutely take a chance on Heiman. khoock 1 Quote

Especially with the immediate need for another center. Duby will graduate and Jordy would be an upperclassmen when the '18 class arrives. Grab a JUCO or Grad transfer big to back up Jordy and pair him with Heiman so he can redshirt. Thats what i would like to see. Quote
Art Vandalay Posted July 20, 2017 Report Posted July 20, 2017 100% on board with offering him asap, seems like a no brainer to me. He has some upside if he gets stronger, is a local kid, plenty of open ships, and centers are hard to find. I think he is as far along or farther than Rich King was back in the day and he turned out alright. Quote
Huskerpapa Posted July 20, 2017 Report Posted July 20, 2017 Simple question, and I am unsure if it is answerable...if you knew we were recruiting a 4* post player and could take the 4* or Brady, would you still want Brady? Quote

I guess it depends on the probability of landing the 4 star post. True posts that highly rated are extremely hard to get.... I would tend to say take the bird in hand than a flier on a kid we probably won't land. Jordy is the most promising big we've had in a long while and he was a 3 star so I would be pretty skeptical we would have an inside track on a highly regarded post unless we had some kind of connection. hhcmatt 1 Quote
busticket Posted July 21, 2017 Report Posted July 21, 2017 Just a side story on Brady I thought I'd share. A couple years ago, one of the kids in my Boy Scout troop goes to school with him and was telling me about a 6'9" kid on their basketball team. I asked a little bit about him but I figured it was just the typical high schooler telling a fisherman's tale about a 6'6" kid. Last year is when I figured out he wasn't full of it! hhcmatt 1 Quote

You'd take the 4*. But there are a few variables here that complicate that. Do we know for sure that we land that 4*? Plus there's going to be more than one spot available for a front court player.

Chuck Taylor Posted July 29, 2017 Report Posted July 29, 2017 (edited) He's getting some decent offers, but still no high majors so far, even though he's had plenty of exposure this summer. Miles' hot-seat status this year might make it tough to sell some guys on coming here, might not be an issue for him. I still think we'll offer at some point since we have 5 openings.
