Not saying this is the case here, but sometimes guys will go to prep school and reclassify if they haven't fully recovered from an injury. (And I can't give any examples of this because I might be completely wrong.)

khoock 1,215 Report post Posted November 19 And to think I didnt turn 18 until two days before my first day of college. Thats quiet the physical advantage Not that its his fault or anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hhcmatt 10,777 Report post Posted November 19 The thought that DW would not sign at Nebraska because he wanted to prove first that his knee was good enough and thus he was good enough seems pretty far fetched if you think about it. How volatile is this roster/program? I think on April 15th he's going to have a better answer for that question than he would now. I would assume that he's going to sign here unless whatever we do in the next 5 months changes that. I would also assume he's not going to sit around without a backup plan. 1 Shawn Eichorst's Toupee reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khoock 1,215 Report post Posted November 19 My hope is that there is a date that is meaningful to DW in the spring and he would like to sign on that date. We need him (or someone like him) to replace Haanif Cheatham as a big guard and wing defender. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LK1 1,181 Report post Posted November 20 Next year's roster is already interesting. I'd guess it would be something like: Mack-Burke Green-Burke-Curtis Banton-Thor Stevenson-Cross-Arop Yvan-Walker Not a ton of minutes for an incoming frosh SG unless he's all world. That said, Sallis in the 2021 class should be licking his chops to play here immediately. Hope we get Williams. I think his injury is a huge question mark, though, and I'm fascinated to see what kind of recruits this staff can pull. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silverbacked1 4,072 Report post Posted November 20 This is the reason why I truly feel they need to get rid of the "verbal". commitment altogether. Especially for any player before his or her senior season. We are talking about 16, 17 or 18 year old kids who really aren't ready to make that long of a time commitment at this time in their lives. Just sign them on the day and everybody wouldn't lose their minds so much. Would kill a bunch of " experts" careers though. 2 1 throwback, kleitus and gobigredbrah reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You make a valid point but I will also say that Hoiberg says he has a position-less offense so Williams could get time at the wing. (And he has enough size to guard wings as well) Regardless you point is well made and competition for minutes will be tough next year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khoock 1,215 Report post Posted November 28 Hopefully Donovan is patient enough to realize that after his freshman year he will have all the playing time he could want (as long as he has the game to back it up) as Thor, Jervay, and Dachon will all be graduated. Maybe hooping for his home city and possibly making history here will be worth one year of riding the pine. Also, who knows, maybe Donovan is talented enough to warrant playing time as freshman. 1 thrasher31 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
