If Stanford is a major competitor against us - him reclassifying would really  help our chances. Because Stanford got the kid from Millard North.

They are also full for 2020, 2021 is a different story.

Only problem currently is he is VERY VERY skinny. Not quite heiman skinny but still. His skill is high though for a big

 

But he's mean and explosive.

 

He's probably about 205-210 now.

 

He reminds me of Keith Van Horn.

This is no diss to any of our current bigs - but if his guy is as advertised and can physically withstand D1 ball - he's our best big  when he steps on campus. 

 

Easily.  He can play the 4 too.

I really wanted him for 2021 when I went and saw him play. I had kind of bought into Sanogo so it was hard to lean back with this news. After thinking about it more while Sanogo in the paint sounds like a good thing after seeing last season, WB is a great fit for Nebraska long term and think he will be a very good player for us. I’d love to get him now and develop him. While his weight could use a few I think he will do well right working with other very talented players and won’t have to transition from maybe being the man to playing his role and excelling at it.

Perhaps Sanogo’s academics will prevent him from reclassifying to 2020?

I think he's still waiting on an ACT. He would've taken it by now had we been in an ideal situation. It'll be interesting what the NCAA does with situations like that. I believe our football recruit Betts is also waiting on an ACT score.

 I think the NCAA will be more lenient on Seniors in that situation than Juniors wanting to reclassify. Of course both guys being considered would be doing that but WB would probably have a better shot with his academic background.

Stanford just got a commit from the #5 player in the country, Ziaire Williams.  That now puts them over the limit for 2020.  Gotta think our odds are getting better and better if Wilhelm reclassifies to 2020.

[Huskerpapa]

Don't sleep on this kid.  He will be a good one for someone.

[colhusker]

With all the offers that have gone out this kids thread has been covered up.  Still hoping he will be N for next year.

It'll come down to us and Marquette down the stretch apparently. I think I like our chances here

Well this is a tasty little morsel from Jeff Faraudo, a pretty connected freelance writer out in California.

 

"He’s drawn interest from Cal, Stanford and Vanderbilt, but may be thinking Nebraska."

Washut just put in his futurecast for the Huskers.

Oh fuck.......

 

In all honesty, I hope he's N. Perfect fit for the offense, but I'm not believing it until I see it

I mean, a guy's gotta get one right eventually...right?

You guys are killing Washut.  Lol.  I think he does a pretty good job overall.  

 

This kid would be awesome.

I'm poking fun at the general prediction picking process in general. Robin is certainly connected and knows what is going on.
