2018 Team Melo forward Nate Roberts sets official visits: Washington 9/1-3, Nebraska 9/16-18, Syracuse 9/22-24, Wake Forest 9/29-10/1

That would be for the Northern Illinois game which starts at 11 am. Wouldn't be my first choice of a game but it should still blow him away when he sees the game atmosphere and even more important, the facilities.

We will know on Oct 17th either way, probably

Nebraska: “I know they play a fast paced game. They need more versatile guys that are not just bound to play a position but flat out play hard. I know that my former teammate, Thomas Allenloves it there. We have a great relationship outside of basketball so he’s been telling me how things are going over at Lincoln.”

Syracuse: “The name speaks for itself. Over the years, coach [Adrian] Autry and I have built a strong bond. He loves my potential as a player and me as a person. Their players that make it to the next level. Coach [JimBoeheim and I have developed a relationship recently and he’s come to watch me play a few times. He likes my game and knows what I can do to help the program.”

Wake Forest: “Coach [Jamill] Jones and I have had a close relationship over the years. Since he’s gotten to Wake Forest he’s been recruiting me hard. Coach [DannyManning and I have developed a relationship which also is a plus. With coach Manning being one of the original versatile forwards in our game, it helps to know that he actually has been through what I’m trying to go through. So, I could learn a lot from that experience.”

UConn: “Although UConn has been down for a few years, the name alone speaks for itself. Coach [Dwayne] Killings and I have developed a close relationship over the years that he’s recruited me. Hearing coach [Kevin] Ollie‘s vision for the program and believing that he needs players like me to push the program to that next level to where they used to be is important.”

I love the in home visit concept. If i remember correctly Tim and Kenya had one with Thomas Allen after he got his Kansas and other offers. Seem so genuine and personal for the coach - player - family roles in college basketball.

I am asking this, because I don't know the answer...don't all coaches make in home visits?  I thought everyone did this.

Oh, I am sure they do. I'm just glad they do

If nate is 6'11 and it sure does look like he is I want him even more. That big and that skilled already. A mold of Copeland to come in right after! Please, but looks like Cuse is the team to beat.  

 

Yeah, his buddy, Buddy Boeheim, is going to the 'Cuse. Yes, that is Jim's son, Buddy.

I had to do some research to see how Boeheim could have a son that is still in high school.

Final 3 is better than being out of the running. Final 3 on a couple of good ones and still in the running with both.  Love to land them both.  Get in enough fine 3s and you eventually should land one.  Just a numbers/odds game. 

Totally agree. It's good to be in on the top talent and make the final cuts. Hoping that the Allen/Brewster connection pays off this time.
