colhusker Posted August 28, 2019 Report Posted August 28, 2019 Glad to see he is Lincoln bound. Quote
HolyBobpilgrimage Posted August 28, 2019 Report Posted August 28, 2019 Think itll be entirely fine, but the lack of contact of yvan with the team both in decisions and travel arrangements early in his time here is concerning. However, I have a feeling he was this summer just in a process of enjoying his last months of French culture and immersion with that national team. Any cultural change is always hard, I can confirm from experience. I gotta give the kid some leniency. he isnt even here yet. Ideally we like to see kids on campus ASAP to get acclimated and into the system, thru culture shock ( esp in yvan's case), but I'm just happy to have any highly talented kid in lincoln like him. Just get him here, make him feel welcome, and try to get used to Nebraska life (the good life). Get another teammate to bring him out for runzas this fall/winter. He'll be fine! #GBR AuroranHusker 1 Quote

It would be best if he's around before this weekend, get the culture shock out of the way with a Husker football game under his belt before attending classes full-time.

Handy Johnson Posted August 29, 2019 Report Posted August 29, 2019 His biggest culture shock might be the size of the city itself. You forget how “small” Lincoln is until you’re away from it for awhile... HolyBobpilgrimage 1 Quote

Handy Johnson Posted August 29, 2019 Report Posted August 29, 2019 Even at, what 285,000 these days, I’m sure young Yvan is use to MUCH larger metro areas. He’ll mainly be on campus, I get that, and Nebraskans are friendly to a fault, but Lincoln doesn’t just have a “small town” vibe it is small. Another point to ponder, he’s SO young, does he even know who Dwayne Wade is? Quote
Red Don Posted August 30, 2019 Report Posted August 30, 2019 That being said, I'm not so concerned at to how he responds to a 'small town' as to how he responds to a 'packed' (that is sold-out) Memorial Stadium and PBA! HolyBobpilgrimage and Handy Johnson 2 Quote
49r Posted August 30, 2019 Report Posted August 30, 2019 I know I've been tempering expectations on the other thread this morning about Yvan, but man he sure does *look* the part of a turn-key big man here doesn't he? Norm Peterson, HolyBobpilgrimage and Handy Johnson 1 1 1 Quote

Handy Johnson Posted September 2, 2019 Report Posted September 2, 2019 Hopefully someone is working with him on the lost art of the “Baby hook”... anything we can get from young Yvan offensively is a complete bonus. Can’t wait to see him in person & get a sense of his feel for the game. Quote
