Spring game visitors

[thrasher31]

Has a paywall up but we know calloo from Oklahoma State is visiting. 

 

Other than that no clue. Should find out over the next few days

[khoock]

Jervay as well

[khoock]

Also, two transfers from UNLV. Joel Ntambwe (6'9 Fr F) averaged 28 min 11.8 pts and 5.5 reb and shot 40% overalll and 38% from 3.

 

Other UNLV guy is a 6'8 Fr F/C who played about half as much as Ntambwe but shot 47% from the field overall.

 

So we are up to 4 guys visiting.

Ntambwe also recently visited UCONN and is given high praise from UNLV assistant coach saying he will be a pro in two years and would have eventually been Mountain West player of the year had he stayed with the Running Rebels.

Is it possible???  Can Nebraska get players like Joel to commit???  Please, Please, Please!!!  Can a nightmare turn into a beautiful dream???   Don't wake me up!!!  I think I am going to like this dream!!!

Triple confirmed

Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua is 6'8" 230#. Real raw offensively but rebounding/blocks/rim defense is there.  Reportedly he's pretty bright and lives in the gym.

Do we know what the eligibility situation is for each of these guys? I assume the non-juco guys all sit one year but I can’t keep up with all the new waiver “rules.”

Can we fit his name on the back of a uniform though?  How about a phonic pronunciation of his name?

A waiver would mean immediately eligible. Who knows there. Otherwise:

 

• Top-five JC prospect Jervay Green - Immediate
• Former Oklahoma State forward Maurice Calloo - mid semester 2019-20
• UNLV transfer Joel Ntambwe - 2020-21
• UNLV transfer Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua - 2020-21

[bigFRED]

Give me Ntambwe, JTT, Jervay, and Cam Mack and I'll never ask for anything again.

 

(until next recruiting period)

UNLV players would be eligible for a wavier. NCAA approved multiple waivers for players last season, who were leaving due to a coaching change. Its not a guarantee, but it is possible that Ntambwe and JTT could be eligible for 19-20.

Anyone hear if Mack got a conditional/unconditional release from St. John's?

Yeah, the NCAA has been extra lenient these days.  Would not surprise me one bit if Ntambwe and Tchtchoua got a waiver to play right away since there was a coaching change at UNLV.  Add Green and Mack and throw in a guy like Ntambwe and we become a very interesting team next year.  Still probably a big man short but man we will be fun to watch.

Cam Mack

 

Not sure if this was posted already, but looks like he’s on record telling a reporter that he will not be going to Nebraska.

[hhcmatt]

Everything after Green to me at this point is gravy but spring is certainly the time for optimism

Old news. That was when he hadn't gotten a release yet and Mullin hadn't yet stepped down.  Things have changed.  You gotta keep up.

Don’t think there is a conditional release any more.   It’s either release or not.

They got Thorbjarnarson on this year so they can at least give it a try.

Good point! Let's hope we have to worry about it.
