Um come again?

He's a junior though right?  Grad transfer?

Doubtful he's a grad transfer. Seems like he could get a hardship waiver.

 

 

[hhcmatt]

I think he's a good player but I look at those 3pt shooting numbers and wonder if Nebraska is like me and coffee beers when it comes to transfers

I will buy any coffee beer even if I know it's not going to be what I wanted.

LOL

[Cowboy Kermit]

I mean.... It wouldn't suck

[AuroranHusker]

I have no issue with NU pursuing Kobe King, he's a salty B1G player. I hope our interest also means he's interested in Nebraska.

Apparently trying to set up an OV. 

 

I would've loved if it would've been today. Just to stick it to Wisconsin

[Fullbacksympathy]

I’d love to have this kid.  He’s an ox of a 2 guard.

Interesting take with our last current scholarship

 He's N. 

 

Matt A. is the king of the transfer market.

Think he gets the waiver based on that whole deal w the strength coach?

Let's see what happens!

 

 

But in all seriousness he looks like the answer to the question of 'what would you get if Dachon Burke put on 25# of muscle'

[hhcmatt]

 

 

Seems likely King will get his waiver granted

[huskerbaseball13]

The staff just keeps recruiting. Not only is King a very good player his Big Ten experience will be huge for us. Great get

[AuroranHusker]

A B1G bodied guard will fit in nicely next year with this squad.

[hhcmatt]

Very good read on King to get you up to speed on who he is

If the powers that be think yes, that is further support for the proposition that a certain 2 guard who formerly was a juco and is named after a color will be somewhere else next year.  

[hhcmatt]

Here is when King was offered by Iowa St.

Fred was hired by the Bulls on June 2nd, 2015.

Almost positive that King was one his last offers while still at ISU

 

[hhcmatt]

It would seem that King initially was a shooter who added driving to his game according to this recruiting article from 5 years ago. That seems like a good sign for us resurrecting his shot.

Thank you @hhcmatt for digging this info up for everyone lol

[The Polish Rifle]

Justin Fields wavier set the precedent here. This should be a shoe in. NCAA is incompetent though, so who the hell knows. If you can get a waiver for a fan using a slur, you surely will if your coach uses a slur.

It’ll be interesting to see how next year’s team jells. That’s a lot of talented newcomers.
