i still like our chances because we have the brewster connection, and i think he can play right away because heiman could redshirt and we will lose duby.

The only thing that concerns me (about playing right away) is that isnt he a similiar build as Heiman? 6'10 205lbs ish. I could be totally remembering it wrong.

 

However, im sure at the moment hes much more skilled then Heiman.

I think we're looking at Roberts at stretch 4 so it's more about if Copeland will be here next year.

[ShortDust]

Let's land Nate coach Miles in honor of Row6's birthday. Prayers up and GBR. Row6's birthday is the 17th and same day Nate will be announcing.

[49r]

I guess we've kind of given up on Nate, but today is the day.

 

247 still has Washington as the pick with 'Cuse next.

Wow. I thought earlier this month it was 50/50 us and syracuse. Now we are out of the picture and Washington is the favorite??

[AuroranHusker]

Announcement at 6:30pm CT tonight. Presumably on twitter.

I think that earlier 50/50 was a mistake because later that same day the person who had apparently projected us had switched it to Washington.  It was us for like an hour.

[hhcmatt]

Based on us offering a 2018 post player on 10/11 and Washington being over on their scholarship put my crystal ball to Syracuse 

[Huskerpapa]

Hmm.  I wonder if he said no to us or we said no to him???

Nebraska would never say no to Nate Roberts.

Actually, Washington is an odd place for Mr. Roberts to land.  And, by the way, Syracuse message board folks are acknowledging he isn't going there either.

But get this:  Washington's record for all of last season is a whopping 9 wins and 22 losses, for a winning percentage of .290.  In-conference Washington racked up 2 wins against 16 losses for a .111 percentage.  They ended up second-to-last in the Pac 12 (between Washington St. above them and Oregon St. below them).

And they managed that record with one Rivals 5-star and at least two Rivals 4-stars on their roster.  And it looks like the 5-star is now in the NBA.

So . . . only those on the inside would know what's going on here.

The one now in the NBA: the No. 1 pick in the 2017 draft, Markelle Fultz.

That was the Lorenzo Romar era where he would always pull in top level guys and never win as much as you'd think he should.  That's where the Porter family (potential #1 overall draft pick Michael Porter Jr) was going until Romar was fired and they ended up at Mizzou.  Former Syracuse coach in waiting Mike Hopkins is now the coach at Washington and the Huskies are in this because Hopkins was recruiting him back at Syracuse.

 

Part of the sell of Nebraska was being part of rebuilding it. Washington fits that bill.

[Cowboy Kermit]

Expect him to be Syracuse bound barring some last minute switch up

 

EDIT: Spoke too soon. Commits to Washington

Washington seems like a place where turning over guys is no big deal and Roberts is always listed as a guy with "upside"

Seems like a name to keep tabs on in the transfer market at some point.

Yup, as a heart attack.  Don't know if he chooses us or not, but many things go into a scholarship offer and many reasons exist to offer or not offer a scholarship.  Not saying we didn't follow up with the offer but the inner workings of this specific recruitment allows me to question whether or not we chose not to follow through with the offer.  Fair enough?

He said no to us.
