Team Photo

[NUdiehard]

It's always intriguing when the Husker Hoops team photo comes out because the photo doesn't lie about height (unless some players cheat and stand on tip-toes :).  The one big take away from this year's photo is that our new "big" is really not-so-big.  Chan is listed at 6'8" on the roster and was recruited to be a potential backup big after the departure of Jordy.  Ummm, I sure hope his wing-span is about 8 feet because he is the exact same height as our new PG Amir Harris and our new SG Karrington Davis (and 5 lbs lighter at that).  He stands right next to Copeland and is dwarfed by him.  

 

On the flip side, it does appear Harris and KD are legit 6'6", which is pretty solid for a PG and SG.  Roby looks like he has bulked up nicely.

Ya I noticed that as well, hopefully he plays bigger than his height. Davis could turn into a heck of small ball 4 with what we currently have too

I think Harris and Allen are really going to help with the scoring load, the ball handling and taking some pressure off the Big 3 (4)?  While this team might lack a traditional 5, it has lots of interchangeable and moveable parts.

Not to hijack the thread, but has anyone heard anything on Karrington Davis... like at all???

 

Im pretty sure I have heard talk, whether it be in the papers or info passed around on here, about every scholarship player except for KD.

Would it be possible to see this "team photo" of which you speak? Does it show the knees, and are they all bending in the proper way?

I was interested in him too and wanted to learn more but he doesn't even have social media. The dude has been a ghost for the last two years.

Havent even heard anything about him coming out of offseason workouts or anything. All i have seen is the speculation on how some believe he will be a contributor. Should get more info with practice set to begin.

Part of that is because he hasn't been cleared to practice fully yet. That hip injury severely weakened one of his legs so they've been trying to build that strength back up.

 

He has a good frame and a smooth stroke. I don't know if he'll be able to beat out any of the guys ahead of him for playing time this year, especially with how far behind he is right now. But I think he'll be a good player down the road. I touched on him and all the other newcomers in this section of my in-depth roster overview I rolled out this week at Hail Varsity.

 

I will say I think Dedoch was a little hunched in that picture plus Cope's hair makes him look a little taller than he is, but Chan is definitely a little smaller than you'd like to see as your back-up 4/5 (he said he's working mostly at the 4 but has practiced a bit at the 5).
