Fastbreaker Posted June 24, 2017 Report Posted June 24, 2017 >She is an excellent student, has great character and fits perfectly with the humble, hard-working culture we are establishing at Nebraska I also think this quote was an indirect shot at a fat, slobby prima-donna we used to have putting in her time at Nebraska.

caveman Posted June 25, 2017 Report Posted June 25, 2017 If she gets the boards and defends well we are already a better team. HUD, mwm89 and Silverbacked1 3 Quote
HUD Posted June 25, 2017 Report Posted June 25, 2017 She is also an 80% free-throw shooter. Silverbacked1 and mwm89 2 Quote
rand909 Posted June 25, 2017 Report Posted June 25, 2017 Well, how about that? Just about the time so many of you had decided that Coach couldn't recruit a big - indeed, many said she wasn't trying to recruit a big - she signs a top 100 true post who can play immediately. Maybe Coach does know what she is doing. HUD, Merlin and 12dozen 3 Quote

And it was nice to see the staff listened to us! Red Don 1 Quote
HUD Posted June 26, 2017 Report Posted June 26, 2017 The WBB roster shown on Huskers.com has just been updated to include Kate Cain. I hope #31 has a great 4 years at Nebraska. She is listed as a center. Cazzie22, mwm89 and Red Don 3 Quote
Row6Seat10 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Report Posted June 26, 2017 Quote With the help of her AAU coach, John Reilly from Hudson Valley Elite, Cain got her name out in recruiting circles once again. Schools that were on her original list had already filled needs so Cain sought schools that still had scholarship spots available. She visited Nebraska, Dayton, Virginia and Minnesota, and also got calls from Indiana, UCLA, Oregon and others. Cain said she had the same “gut feeling” about Nebraska as she had for Delaware and made the confirmation phone call a week ago. She signed her final papers on Friday. “She will fit in very nicely in the Big Ten,” said Nebraska coach Amy Williams. “There’s absolutely no reason she can’t come in and make an impact for our program.” Williams likes Cain’s size, her good hands, her soft touch around the basket and ability to use either hand with her back to the basket. “That low-post presence is something that will fit really nicely into our system and we’re very excited about that,” Williams said. Cain reports to Nebraska on July 9 for summer prep and studies. She will major in some sort of business studies. “I really am excited just to get everything started,” Cain said. “I am definitely a little nervous because everything changed so much within the past month ... so I’m definitely overwhelmed, but I am really excited to see what the future has in store for me.” Pine Bush hoops star commits to Nebraska HUD 1 Quote

redsteve Posted June 26, 2017 Report Posted June 26, 2017 I hope Burns will be healed, and just be able to play. It's obvious she loves the game. ...and ....she can work with Cain in learning some the Rachel's toughness and aggressiveness. That may be one of the important things to adapt to in the college game. After all she'll be a freshman rookie, with ton's to learn. Sounds like Cain has some good fundamentals....as well moves with the basketball, rebounds... and can shoot. oh...and she's 6-5. That's height on the floor is a psychological boost to the team. Just hope she can learn fast and not be to overwhelmed. Good luck to her...sure glad she pulled the trigger for NU. !!! Welcome Kate !! Merlin 1 Quote

HUD Posted June 27, 2017 Report Posted June 27, 2017 Good article in the Lincoln Journal Star this morning by Brent Wagner on an interview he had with Kate. Sorry but I couldn't copy it for this post. Quote
12dozen Posted June 27, 2017 Report Posted June 27, 2017 Having a new "Big" for the next 4 years is exciting. Welcome Kate. Quote

The AAU circuit began last week and the coaches are scattered all across the nation watching for that next Husker. Saying "who's next" is their way of putting the 2019 class on alert that they'll be on the lookout nationwide for that next big commit.
