Cheatham is N

That was fast - great news!

 

As long as the shoulder is healthy, we're getting a really solid all-around player - averaged 10+ ppg at Marquette for 2+ seasons and shot nearly 37% from 3. Exactly what we need from a grad transfer.

It appears you can't leave HHC very long without missing out in the next few weeks.

Team building continues.

Outstanding!

All the Dominos are starting to fall, dare I say it but Hoiberg’s private workouts with Roby might sway the young man’s opinion about one more year of tutelage from the “Master.”

Quote

The 6-foot-5, 195-pound guard announced his commitment to NU via Twitter, choosing the Huskers over the likes of Arkansas, Cincinnati, Arizona, and Virginia Tech.

“Just the coaching staff and the people I’m going to be surrounded by every day; the resources that are here that are going to allow me to become a better player throughout the whole season,” Cheatham said of why he decided to make his commitment on Saturday.

“And then just playing for an amazing coach in Fred Hoiberg, a guy who knows what he’s doing. I’m looking forward to playing for a great fanbase, and I’m just excited about it all.”

Is he having private workouts with Hoiberg? I thought I read someone say on here recently that he was working out on his own or something. I might be misremembering. Anyone know for sure?

[Red Don]

I read somewhere that Hoiberg was working out with Roby to help prepare him for NBA team tryouts.

Yeah Hoiberg took him through a few workouts of what to expect at the combine. 

 

He's working out in Chicago preparing for the draft now though

The coach said he's put Roby through several individual workouts, with an emphasis on the two-on-two and three-on-three drills he'll see when he works out for certain teams. He also said Roby is taking advantage of the rule change that allows college players to hire an agent in an advisory role in the work-through process while retaining their college eligibility.

This Cheatham commit has the possibility to be very interesting. Is he a grad transfer that just wants a place to get up a ton of shots and have big numbers? It’s possible I guess. But the other possibility, and he kind of hinted at it in the article, is if Hoiberg has a few other guys that he feels VERY good about coming here. Most grad transfers want to win, and maybe Cheatham was told player X, Y, and Z are most likely coming here

Whoever took that pic needs to learn to center their subjects in a photograph. That's a lot of 'ceiling' to contend with. GBR !!!

I just read on twitter that Hoiberg has conducted personal training sessions to prep Isaiah for the NBA scout combine workouts.

Michael Lewis said he didnt think he would come back next year and no reason for him to fwiw.

Cheatum is the 6'5" athletic type of guy we're going to be bringing in bunches 

[Handy Johnson]

And he’s sporting the Vintage ‘96 NIT champ throwback Jersey!

[wordyginters]

Is this type of player Neb would never be able to pull in the past?  My memory ain't what it used to be, but I can't recall a SR grad transfer who had a big impact for NU on the floor?

Good with me. I noticed a ton of new NU offers were to the 6'-5" 200# type of "dudes."

I wouldn't say Duby Okeke had no impact, but he didn't receive a ton of minutes either.

Spencer had to sit out the prior year (2010-11) in order to play his Senior season (2011-12) at Nebraska.

Is it wrong of me to wonder about Roby class attendance?

[FredsSlacks]

if we get mack, the backcourt has potential to be as good as last year.

 

pg- mack, harris, thor

sg-green, burke

sf- cheatham, davis

 

front court needs some work though. brady, akol,  maybe roby?
