Trevor Lakes is N

[thrasher31]

Nebraska secures the commitment of Div-II sharpshooting transfer Trevor Lakes.

The 6'7" 230 Lakes made over 41% of his threes during 3 years at the University of Indianapolis.

Lakes will need to sit a year, with one more to play barring some sort of unexpected waiver.

 

 

 

 

Really good shooter at 6'7. When I saw he was getting HM interest I figured it was a matter of time before we threw our hat in the ring

He's shooting from a good 2-3 feet behind the 3 point line on practically every jumper

Q: "what distance is Trevor Lakes comfortable shooting the ball from"

 

A: "yes"

[Art Vandalay]

Is this Duncan Robinson part 2? 6’7” shooter who starts at lower level and moves up to P5. Hope we get him

It appears if he is in the gym he is comfortable.

[hhcmatt]

Based on this

 

I figure this is what he should look like when he's ready to play in 2 years

Dang.  Kind of reminds me of Ethan Wragge.  (I know people will hate that comparison).  This kid has some serious range.

I get the comparison of Lakes to Korver, but the comparison to Fuck Creighton bewilders me a bit.  I might not be remembering the details correctly, but I don't think Fuck Creighton was anything near 6'7" and I don't think he was much of a 3 point shooter.  He made up for those shortcomings with an awesome name, though.

I thought he was a golfer known for his "short" game.

oh okay... I said it the other day, too, in a completely forum for all of the public to view (on a tweet). Glad we can agree that D.R. is a good comp.

 

And, I didn't notice that you wrote it here. It's all good. I hope he's a "Miami Heat" D.R. at NU, quite frankly!

This was eluded to by those highly connected that there was going to be some attrition this weekend, happened Monday, and that spot was almost earmarked for Lakes.  I wouldn't say expect a commit immediately but I would assume he's going to be a very solid practice player for us next season while he acclimates to the D1 level for 2021.
