Red Don Posted April 17, 2021 Report Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) HOLY MOLY, SUFFERING SASSAFRAS!!!!!! https://nebraska.n.rivals.com/news/husker-hoops-land-depaul-transfer-wing-keon-edwards Quote Edwards, a 6-7 wing, was offered by the Huskers shortly after head coach Fred Hoiberg and staff took over in 2019. He held a Zoom meeting with NU’s coaches last Friday, and the second round of his recruitment quickly escalated from there. Edwards chose Nebraska over other offers from Georgia, Texas A&M, Florida State, Arizona State, Alabama, and Auburn. He only played sparingly in five games this past season for the Blue Demons and transferred after head coach Dave Leitao was fired. Because of the free year of eligibility players received from the NCAA last season, Edwards will now arrive in Lincoln as a true freshman but significantly more prepared for the next level. Quote he averaged 14.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.9 blocks in 18 games as a junior at Hillcrest in 2019-20. He was twice selected to participate in the 2019 USA Basketball Men's Junior National Team minicamps. Edited April 17, 2021 by Red Don Quote

Norm Peterson Posted April 17, 2021 Report Posted April 17, 2021 Nebraska got Bryce McGowens and it got everyone else to say "why not?" Quote
Keenan9595 Posted April 17, 2021 Report Posted April 17, 2021 Let this sink in, we have 2 to play 4 year top 150 transfers. A very promising top 200 7 ft center, a top 5 judo player a top 25 player and another top 100 player all in same class...pinch me I’m dreaming. Nebrasketballer and Swan88 2 Quote

Remember Glynn Watson, Ed Morrow, Michael Jacobson, Andrew White III? That was like the pinnacle of Husker hoops recruiting in the era of on-line recruiting services. This class blows that one out of the water. Absolutely blows it out of the water. Red Don, Swan88, Vinny and 1 other 1 3 Quote

Type juco and Siri decides it should say judo. I've even had times where I correct it to what I wanted and Siri changes it back. That bitch. Keenan9595 and Red Don 2 Quote
busticket Posted April 17, 2021 Report Posted April 17, 2021 Didn’t expect to see this when I logged in. Wow. Quote
75unlgrad Posted April 17, 2021 Report Posted April 17, 2021 I see this recruiting class as: Two 5-Star players -- McGowens and Edwards Two 4-Star players -- Breidenbach and Wilcher Two 3-Star player -- Kojenets and Tominaga Plus -- a verbal commitment from one of the top juco centers that will join this class in 2022-23 (Blaise Keita is 6'10" and 240 lbs.) Obviously, I believe it to be the best recruiting class in UNL history. Now, IF we can have another successful recruiting class come in 2022-23, we will be 10 deep with talent at every position (we need a point guard in this class). IF THAT HAPPENS -- WOW!!! Nothing will seem 'out of reach' -- Dancing, Sweet 16, and dare I say it -- Yes, maybe FINAL 4!!! Let's Go Huskers!!! Omaha Husker, KarlHessEatMy.... and HuscurAdam 2 1 Quote

Norm Peterson Posted April 17, 2021 Report Posted April 17, 2021 4 minutes ago, uneblinstu said: Why did he only play in 5 games at DePaul? Well, he skipped out on part of his senior year of high school to join DePaul after everyone else on that team had been practicing for a few months. He would have been way behind. He will be joining us late spring and have a chance to fully acclimate. Quote
millerhusker Posted April 17, 2021 Report Posted April 17, 2021 Think this needs to be clarified... he started out as a top 25 player in the 2021 class in his sophomore year, but he did drop in the rankings - 247 had him ranked #111 (still in the 2021 class) before he reclassified and enrolled at DePaul. Still happy to have him as a Husker. Quote

Nice. And honestly, I know they’re just highlights, but his highlights really aren’t much less impressive than Bryce’s. Norm Peterson 1 Quote

Huskerpapa Posted April 18, 2021 Report Posted April 18, 2021 Deep breath...it is worth mentioning, Danny had some pretty high rated classes as well. But man, this class is amazing. Quote
