hhcmatt 13,356 Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 2 hours ago, REDitus said: So what would the difference be between this guy and Brady Heiman? Brady was listed here at 215 and last year was listed at 210 at South Dakota. I thought Heiman would fill out but he hasn't and he isn't a combination of skilled/athletic enough to pull it off here without the bulk. Doesn't seem to possess the skillset we would want at 4. The right move for us to punt on him. This guy is listed at 220 and he looks like he's 240+ waiting to happen. To me he seems like a longer but slower Ubel though I'm not sure he has Ubel's range.

Fair enough. I will say he does look better in the 2nd video which is more current than the first video which I was looking at. I was trying to think of a comp for him, since you shot down my first one how about Dan Heimos? Depth & development is fine. I have no problem with 2-3 players that are development players.

LK1 1,677 Posted Monday at 01:18 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 01:18 PM (edited) Great get. Major upgrade to our front court after losing Yvan. Depending on his off-season weight gain, this kid might start once Walker graduates. It’ll be a good battle between him and and Andre. Andre might have more upside but Oleg has a lot more skill at this stage, and he’s a legit 7 footer doing all that. We get a PG and look out!

And Blaise Keita appears to have both the upside and the skillset. Building frontcourt depth like we haven’t seen at Nebraska in a long time.

He scores 6 of his team's first 8 points, commits 2 of their first 3 fouls, and snags a pair of rebounds before the Slovenians from Hay Springs are forced to call a TO baby. He's the tall guy in green. Jersey #15. Slovenia v Lithuania - Full Game - FIBA U16 European Championship 2019 - YouTube Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Robin writes for Rivals. Right now, Wilhelm is a 3-star on Rivals but he's a top 150 guy and, with the numbers he's putting up at the start of their season, it's not out of the question that he'd get that 4th star back from Rivals.

While scrolling 247, I noticed that Bryce is our #1 recruit dating back to 2005, and Wilhelm is our #3 recruit. Not bad when your pair 2 of your top 3 recruits the last 16 years in the same class.

This kid isn't a stretch at all from my vantage point. He's almost as good of a prospect at the 5 as Wilhelm is at the 4, imo, and I really like Wilhelm. Those are two extremely skilled bigs from day 1. Remember this kid is taller than Andre. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thrasher31 498 Posted Monday at 06:33 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 06:33 PM The little bit of video that's out there, looks like a sound defender that could use the training table for an additional 10 lbs at least. Solid pickup though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
