2023 PG Simeon Wilcher -> UNC->St John

[throwback]

It's a good thing he wasn't JPJ and those weren't Big Ten refs, or his highlight tape would've been about 30 seconds long because he'd have been sitting on the bench with all the Ts for looking at opponents the wrong way.

 

Actually, I didn't have a problem with it either - looked like all of the talking was aimed at one team. I have a team I feel that way about too. 

 

[Silverbacked1]

He is young so hasn't maybe learned to control the "extra" stuff.  Also don't know the background...  Could have been some things written or talked about before the game, or could have been their biggest rival.

Unofficial visit in June to help CJ move in and official visit lined up in October assuming for a football game according to Robin.

Prior to Bryce McGowens, I'd have been like, sure, he'll come for a visit. But now, I'm like this could maybe actually happen.

Wow.  

 

Get ready for the renaissance.

Is Simeon's unofficial visit in June at the same time Isaac Traudt is having his official visit?  Are we starting to form relationships?

He’s got the best film I’ve ever seen from a realistic Husker recruit. And it was from his sophomore year in high school... I honestly think he could’ve started for us last year. 

 

His dad says, “He wants to play with his brother... It could be a beautiful thing.”

[REDZONEDAN]

I hate to get too optimistic, but it sounds like he is ours to lose.

[AuroranHusker]

Let's keep up that "bro-bro" with another "bro-bro" for NU's recruiting scheme rollin', and Hoiberg Hoops could be a beautiful thing

.

Good god, Simeon and Omaha only and we are a top 10 class that will make me ecstatic.  Anything after that is frosting on the cake.

I heard Bryce handled the majority of the unofficials for Simeon and Omaha.

The staff feels very confident on both those two guys

That would totally not suck. Like not suck an awful lot. Like be the hugest thing in Husker hoops maybe EVER.

 

Hope you are right.

Let's make that balloon flight a non-stop to Lincoln to see both sons.

I don't mean to start a rumor, but this morning Robin Washut talked about how the 2022 recruiting class will shake out. Said the only 2022 recruits we're after now are Traudt and Green. Mentioned transfers (as always) and the possibility of a 2023 recruit reclassifying and becoming part of the 2022 class. That would be a strange thing to throw out there if he didn't know something was up. I had wondered if Simeon reclassifying was a possibility - CJ had Ivy League offers out of high school. I'm guessing Simeon's academics are in order. 

Not sure who else it would be? Yalden or Clemmons? I think Yalden is at his 3rd high school in 3 years now, so that would surprise me. 

Imagine the Husker hoops hype train next offseason if Simeon and Traudt were on board. Simeon would be the best Nebraska basketball recruit in history. I've said this before, but his sophomore film is better than any Husker recruit I've seen. He's college ready right now.

That is some juicy information!  Gotta think we have an inside track if it is a kid that is both considering reclassifying and we feel confident in landing.  That makes me hypothesize that it's someone with a family connect -- either Simeon or Clemmons.  Yalden seems like he likes Nebraska but also likes a lot of other schools.  And his family/local connection is pretty thin.

Bred from the same killa mentality, nephew @SimeonWilcher is ready for a break out year. Yeah he’s 2023 top 10 & all but we talk’n undeniable pro talktime to turn the few ?s to !s I sure hope they do @NikeGirlsEYBL & @NikeEYB together#JERSEYGUARDSDIFFERENT boys AND girls pic.twitter.com/kxQoh92xxf

One part of whether or not we might land Simeon Wilcher is whether or not he even goes to college.

Just turned down big bucks in high school

Seems like a very long shot to get him at this point.  Matt A has surprised me before though.

Perhaps.  But the fact that he values non-monetary experiences like prom and walking at HS graduation?  That makes him seem like the type of kid that would value the college experience vs going pro immediately after graduating.  And maybe also the type of kid that would value playing with his brother in his one year of college.

[Norm Peterson]

"High six-figure offer." Whoa. That's some serious dough he turned down.
