Got to be a Crayton lean being named after the city they play :)

Got a 5* rating on ESPN too, so he's a perfect fit for their system!

I said City not school ;)  But this would be a better fit name wise

[Cowboy Kermit]

He'll be playing at Waukee High next year with Top 2 2021 recruits in the state of Iowa in Peyton Sandfort and Tucker DeVries. They'll be a fun team to watch.

How fitting that a kid named Peyton will be playing on a team with a kid named Omaha...

 

[Chuck Taylor]

How fitting that a kid named Omaha is playing on a team with a kid who plays for an AAU team from Omaha (DeVries)

We get him for a year then he goes to whoever has the 4th pick in the 2024 NBA draft. 

 

Someone on the Rivals board claims Biliew said Nebraska is recruiting him harder than anyone, fwiw.

Supposedly visiting on an unofficial early June per 247sports

In Soviet Russia, Omaha Bills YOU!

[Dead Dog Alley]

So would he put his first name or his last name on his jersey?  In the NIL age that could be a big decision.

 

(Putting your first name on the jersey is not unprecedented; Olajuwon did it.  Although he was too shy to tell everybody at Houston that they were spelling his name wrong; hence it was "AKEEM" and not "HAKEEM".)

247 has him quoted as we are giving the most love right now.

He'd be in the same recruiting class as Simeon Wilcher.

 

I mean, just sayin.

[MichHusker]

So his brother is a low-mid D1 juco recruit right now considering the Omaha Mavs. I wonder if staying close to his brother is something that matters?

We've got two roster spots now, so...

 Why couldn't we get two top 10 recruits in the same class?

 

After all, we'll have plenty of roster space that year after a lot of guys go pro after our first Final Four season.

How fitting a kid named Omaha will be playing for the Huskers.

 

Am I doing this right?
