BrasketballIfYouNeedThem Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Something is fishy...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hskr4life Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Quite possible that Agau wants to end up somewhere where he can immediately play and make an impact, and does not want to compete for playing time. One thing about our staff is if you are not ready, or not up to being on the court, you will NOT see it. (See Fuller and Hammond) I am ok with this too. If Agau thought he was going to come in and start from day one and does not want to work for it, count me out. These are all just hypotheticals too btw.

49r Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Here's hoping for the best for Akoy. Moving on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coach Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 I wish him well, but I don't see him getting much more playing time at Georgetown. The Hoyas have 3 freshman power-forwards this year who are all pretty good players, and 2 more Top 100 post players coming in next year.

HB Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 I wish him well, but I don't see him getting much more playing time at Georgetown. The Hoyas have 3 freshman power-forwards this year who are all pretty good players, and 2 more Top 100 post players coming in next year. Agree. I also wish him well, but I think this will end poorly. I predict he ultimately transfers to a lower level where he won't have to use a transfer year. Surprised Georgetown offered him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredsSlacks Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 he would have been better off staying at louisville than going to georgetown. georgetown is loaded with big guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Peterson Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 I agree with the above about G'town. I saw that and I was like what's the point of transferring then? Louisville has a nicer bench. Newer. Cost of living in D.C. is crazy and G'town will actually expect you to study and go to class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creighton Fan Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Quite possible that Agau wants to end up somewhere where he can immediately play and make an impact, and does not want to compete for playing time.

Hard to imagine he gonna have a better chance at immediate playing time at GTown than Nebraska. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugeaters1 Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 So I just got a tweet that said Agau has committed George Town. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugeaters1 Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 And another one said that Nebraska had never offered him. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobigredbrah Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 I hope this decision doesn't come back to bite miles in the butt (the decision to use the last scholly on McVeigh instead of Agau) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskerPower #nato73 Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 I hope this decision doesn't come back to bite miles in the butt (the decision to use the last scholly on McVeigh instead of Agau) It won't. And we will have one more spot next year at least when Terran goes pro. TheGov21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhcmatt Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 he would have been better off staying at louisville than going to georgetown. georgetown is loaded with big guys. How much of the decision is basketball and how much is academics/life after basketball? Playing time at GT isn't going to be a ton easier to come by vs Louisville though at least he'll have a clean slate. He seemed in Pitino's doghouse with the 0 time he's been receiving.

ajb5856 Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 I hope this decision doesn't come back to bite miles in the butt (the decision to use the last scholly on McVeigh instead of Agau) I could be wrong but I don't think this had anything to do with McVeigh's commitment being "the last scholly". We are still most likely going to over sign and if the coaches wanted Agau here and he wanted to come, there was the open scholly right now for him to transfer right in to and the additional scholarship would've sorted itself out in the off season. If the decision was to only take one of those 2 then the coaches obviously wanted McVeigh more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would all know if they took Agau that one of them would be gone for sure. I'm sure someone will leave, it just natually happens, but I dont think Miles wants that playing out that way right now.

Norm Peterson Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Any chance we can run this thread over 20 pages? Be a shame to have a thread under 20 pages for a player we don't get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverbacked1 Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 This is the reason I don't care about a kid until the ink is dry. Then he gets my full support. He will lots of cool places to see in DC, best of luck, bye-bye now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're midseason...this should burn out quick enough Even if he didn't come to Nebraska, Akoy Agau is still from Nebraska. A lot of people will be interested in seeing how AA finishes up his career with the Hoyas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleujay Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 The best part about this whole thing is how much people from Central/ Omaha area high schools would talk about him/ idolize him back when he was dominating Nebraska HS hoops. Had a friend working at Paradise Bakery and said he even got to make Akoy a sandwich! Honestly though, I knew something was up when there were rumors of him transferring to an east coast school for his senior year... then when it comes time to make a college decision, he burns his Nebraska (state) fan base...twice... and is still too deluded to see that being at a less than blue chip program is what would've helped his growth as a player the most. Maybe he did it for the schooling, but that seems to me a bit of a reach. He wasn't a good student back at Central from what I heard. GL Akoy, I truly hope you improve enough to be a contributor at G'town Silverbacked1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
