75unlgrad Posted October 23, 2020 Report Posted October 23, 2020 Is Fred (and Matt) building our next team with freshmen as the foundation?? I think the possibility is there. Consider: Andre = 6'10" center with a 7'4" wingspan that likes to play defense and rebound Woods = 6'5" combo guard (was a Top 150 player as a sophomore but was down-graded for not playing summer ball) Breidenbach = 6'10" center/power forward (plays for one of the top high school programs and is rated anywhere from Top 53 to not being in the Top 150) McGowens = 6'6" shooting guard/small forward -- rated as a 5-star player Traudt = 6'8" perimeter/power forward -- rated as a 4-star player with potential to be a 5-star = 5 other scholarships available (I hope for 2 or 3 more freshmen and 2 juco's /transfers and maybe have one open scholarship for that late transfer) I like that we are starting this group with two good options at the center position -- when were we ever this strong at this position (most years we didn't have even one) If we get McGowens (and I'm already counting him in -- I can't help myself), then I think we get Traudt. He will see what Fred is building and that he 'fits' this style perfectly. He is a Nebraska boy. He grew up a Husker fan. I think we get him. And these players help us get other top-rated players. And the ball keeps rolling, and rolling, and rolling our way. GBR!!!! roscoe 1 Quote
Jacob Padilla Posted October 23, 2020 Report Posted October 23, 2020 Traudt: “I grew up a fan of Oklahoma and it was really neat to get an offer from them,” he said. ”My mom's side of the family is all Oklahoma fans. My grandpa is a big OU fan and that is why I grew up a fan.” https://omaha.com/sports/high-school/recruiting/plus/isaac-traudts-recruitment-grows-with-six-power-conference-offers-in-one-week/article_5c7b9cbd-3e19-59bf-b48f-bf65ddc117f1.html Quote

TourneyBound Posted October 26, 2020 Report Posted October 26, 2020 ya unfortunately at this point I don't see us getting Hunter or Traudt.. I will take B Mcgowens though as a nice 5 star alternative!! Quote
jimmykc Posted October 26, 2020 Report Posted October 26, 2020 We just need someone who has been in his basement rec room to tell us what poster he has up. Quote
