Okay, I just watched the championship game so haven't watched a lot of his play but that's good to know.  I agree next year will tell us a lot about his game after they lose the core of that team!

Really? I was super impressed with all the little things he did in saturdays game. My only two questions about him are creating offense for himself and his feet looked alil slow on the perimeter but I to think he’s a must get.

Wasnt overly impressed with him, would like to see some more explosiveness.  Does he have an outside shot?   Kinda reminds me of Yvan..  He is an in state guy though so think we should still pursue him.

 Washut seems to believe he is along the lines of Roby in that he doesn’t know how good he can be yet. He doesn’t take over games because he doesn’t have to with the players he has on his team. Once he becomes the man though the skills are there to be a dominant player he just needs to show it. I think he will, and I think it could potentially give us a steal of a deal if we can land him.

I think he's more of a  Shavon Shields or Jeriah Horne type rather than a Roby?

[Silverbacked1]

He has had to play like 4th fiddle on that team the last few years.  I thought he looked like the hard working lunch pail what do i need to help kind of guy.

 

Glue guy.

Hopefully Jasen keeps growing. Because while I think he is a stud, his game and athleticism is more of a swing-4 than it is a 3-wing. Could be super effective if it's 6'8" or whatnot... But if he's 6'6"-6'7" I'm not sure if it'll work out.

 You are reading it wrong. He’s not saying he is Roby like on the court, but more in the mold of the Stephen Bardo saying of Roby that he doesn’t know how good he is yet. We are starting to see what Roby can become in the NBA. Here’s hoping we can land Green and he realizes who he can become as a Husker.

Can one inch really make that big of a difference?

All the difference in the world, my wife says.

I get that, but I still find it an odd comparison.    I agree with you though in that I hope we can land Green.

It’s all about girth. 6’6” 230 lbs is very different than 6’8” 195 lbs.

Yes. I agree but I think sometimes height is a bit over blown. Give me a guy who will fight for rebounds and knows how to get position.

I also think a guy who is 6’8 and 195 needs to have weight put on correctly so they can still run the floor.

I hear you. However, in this case I was using basketball players’ physical attributes as a metaphor for something else.

For the first time in my life, my mind wasn’t in the gutter...

Who would have thought at 32, I finally grew up?

I’m almost double that age, and it ain’t gonna happen for me.  It’s not all bad being a permanent junior high boy. (that’s middle school for you youngsters).

Love this.  I like Traudt obviously, but Green could have a really nice D1 career.  It's hard to find a proper comparison to his game, but he's the kind of a swiss army knife--pretty good at everything with a D1 body to boot.  Like a Ron Harper, but a SF/PF.

He kind of reminds me of T Badgett back in high school, versatile 3/4 man

Yeah, I would love for Nebraska to add him. Plus, added benefits would be that Nebraska needs to be able to start landing top Omaha talent, to open that pipeline up, instead of letting those guys leave the state. Another side benefit could potentially be that if things don’t work out for Sallis in Spokane, for whatever reason, it probably wouldn’t hurt Nebraska to be a school close pretty close to his home and also where his high school teammate is playing ball.
