Nebraskans are Producing Basketball Babies Again

[HuskerFever]

Donovan Williams (Nebraska), Josiah Allick (UMKC), John Tonje (Colorado State), Brady Danielson (North Dakota), Shiloh Robinson (Liberty), Baylor Scheierman (South Dakota), Nate Lliteras (Longwood), Lök Wur (Oregon), Jason Booth (Omaha), Max Murrell (offers to Creighton, Iowa, Kansas State, Minnesota, TCU, and Virginia), Jasen Green (Nebraska).

 

It's been awhile since we've seen another major pool of Nebraska-born/raised talent in basketball. If memory serves me right, we had a big talent bubble around the early 90s, but we started to lose that talent pool from an outflux of parents and athletes leaving the state due to disagreements with Nee's recruiting outside the state of Nebraska (where 20+ Nebraska kids were on D1 rosters elsewhere).

 

This talent pool won't stick around forever, but this time around the coaching staff needs to show an interest in trying to sustain it for as long as they can. Either that, or people need to start making more babies who are born with the Herbie Husker basketball logo tattooed on their arms.

You mentioned class of 2022 Jasen Green but not his 2021 teammate, Hunter Sallis, whom we've also offered, and crosstown 2021 rival Chucky Hepburn who also has an offer.

The list of Nebraska talent was so long, my typewriter ran out of ink.

Love seeing this kind of talent.  Now if we can consistently get the top player each year, it would be the cherry on top.

Nebraska has a big crop of talented athletes in a lot of sports. And finally basketball is among them, again.

 

*Correction to the LJS story: Baylor Scheierman signed to play for the Jacks of South Dakota State (not the Yotes of S.D.).
