2021 PG Bryce McGowens - LOI

[hhcmatt]

 

[hhcmatt]

My Top 2:

Nebraska

Not Michigan

[aphilso1]

Looks more like a 5* football player's top 5.  Gotta think it helps us that his list isn't just four blue bloods plus DONU.

[Navin R. Johnson]

Let's put the cart before the horse. If Bryce McGowens signs with NU, will he be the highest rated recruit in Nebraska basketball history?

So...does this make up for the top-12 snub by Sallis a couple months ago or...

No.  And I feel like we've been through this time and time again.  Danny had many recruits during the 90's that would be considered 5* guys.

 

But if you are talking in the Scout/Rivals/ESPN era, then sure....yeah I guess he would be.

Found this nugget, which hopefully bodes well!!!

Trey is stealthily turning into a top 5 all-time signing for us without ever even stepping onto the court.

Jerry Meyer, 247's director of basketball scouting, just gave his crystal ball prediction of Bryce to Nebraska. 

Washut is being abnormally quiet and short with his statements about this one. I'm liking our chances. 

[REDZONEDAN]

Has there been any indication when he intends to make his final decision?

 

I like our chances here, but I’m trying my best to not get my hopes up.

I have to respectfully disagree. Woolridge would have been a 5*, but IMO, no one else. If Danny would have been landing 5* talent, we would not be sitting with zero wins in the NCAA tourney. Players like Lue, Piatkowski and Strickland ended up being really good players, but were not considered 5* talent coming out of high school.

Even Teddy Allen is recruiting

no, 247 had Isaac Copeland one spot higher coming out of high school.  If you don't want to count transfers then yes that'd be correct

Highest since Rivals and others starting ranking recruits. Danny Nee had some guys who would've been considered 5 stars. Andre Woolridge was the #2 point guard in the nation behind Jason Kidd.

If anyone wants to watch an entire game. He drops 60 in this. From February so a bit far out. But it's something

If you included transfers I think it would be Isaac Copeland.

Peer recruiting going HARD at NU

As was mentioned before, Woolridge was very highly regarded and I believe Strickland was considered one of the top 25 players in the country when he came out.

I keep forgetting Woolridge, probably because he transferred.

Boone was actually rated higher than Strickland.  He was #76 or something like that.  I’ll have to dig through the old magazines.  If I can find it I’ll post an update.  I was a recruiting nerd before it was mainstream.

 

Strickland was very underrated in my opinion....maybe it was because he was also great at football and baseball.  I remember reading about him playing against Kidd in a tournament and holding him in check.  You would have thought it would have cemented top 50 status for him.
