Husker Hoops Penitent Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 I think both will not be remembered as walk-ons but as major contributors. I have followed basketball for years and can't remember someone as good/highly ranked as Easley walking on at a major program. Both guys may end up being the sleepers of the entire first recruiting class. HolyBobpilgrimage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoiBall Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Wouldn't be surprised if we added another walk on guard, maybe one with B1G experience... HolyBobpilgrimage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husker Hoops Penitent Posted May 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Well spotted regarding Maye. Nevertheless, a rare, and fortuitous development for NU! millerhusker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basketballjones Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Not sure on Piatkowski, but I'm fully with you on Easley. Absolute steal. Husker Hoops Penitent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This past season, Borchardt had 716 minutes total, with 432 minutes in B1G play (including 11 starts). Overall, he averaged 20 minutes per game) and had 17 starts due to Copeland going down. Tanner finished his Senior season shooting 48-79 from the field (27-46 in B1G), 23-40 FT (14-23 from the line in B1G); and #20 grabbed 167 rebounds, and scored 119 points this past season. Pretty decent impact for an O-Lineman who made himself into a serviceable Big Ten Basketball Big Man.

Handy Johnson Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Andrew Drevo was our leading scorer in ‘03... haven’t really seen little Pike play, but that Easley kid is far from a “throw in” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khoock Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Could play important roles especially when you consider that the staff wants 2-3 redshirts a year. Add that in with a couple injuries or a recruiting miss or two and one of these two walk ons could find themselves in the mix for playing time.

Tanner Borchardt became one of my favorite Huskers from this past season. Dude balled out. Proud of the transformation he made to be able to contribute. And when his number was called, he delivered. Same "readiness" could be stated for Johnny Trueblood in those final 6 games. Red Don 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
