Blaise Keita is the first known commit for Nebraska's class of 2022 Great pickup. He's a similar athlete to Walker. Great size and lots of experience. Has a decent turnaround jumper in the post which we haven't seen in God knows how long. Quote
jayschool Posted February 15, 2021 Report Posted February 15, 2021 He's already 21 years old, so he'll be at least 22 by the time he shows up on campus. Lining up talent and depth in the middle. 2021-22: Walker, Andre, Ouedraogo 2022-23: Andre/Keita, Ouedraogo Quote

I remember his recruitment back in 2018-2019, and I don't think I was impressed when I watched him (watched basically every big available due to the big situation Miles and co was in at the time).

ConkTrifecta3 Posted February 15, 2021 Report Posted February 15, 2021 This is a good pickup. Threat to step out 10-15 ft and hit adds another dimension Quote

In scrolling quickly through the game posted above, he hit 6 of 6 from the line that I saw--splashed them all. Also, he is most definitely a rebounding presence and a disruptive force in the middle!

Huskerpapa Posted February 15, 2021 Report Posted February 15, 2021 I notice that he wears ankle weights while playing. That probably explains the lack of vertical...I kid, I kid. Quote

jimmykc Posted February 16, 2021 Report Posted February 16, 2021 Coffeyville trivia: 1. My brother began his brief career as a left handed pitcher at Coffeyville JUCO. 2. I once bought a postcard there featuring the bodies of the Dalton gang laid out after they had been massacred in Coffeyville in 1892. 3. Walter Johnson was born there. The Big Train had a somewhat longer career than my bro. roscoe 1 Quote

Can’t say I’ve been there myself, I was always more of a Hutch Blue Dragon fan! jimmykc 1 Quote
