Tominaga - 富永啓生

[The Polish Rifle]

Leave it to Kentucky to find the visa workaround....Seems like there are ways to get Keisei paid.

I’m stoked about getting my Keisei Tominaga rookie card in the mail today!

You're right...the thread title should have been called: 富永啓生

 

I can't believe it's taken this long to think of this.  It absolutely should be changed to 富永啓生

 

@Huskerpapa or @hhcmatt you gotta get on this!

Keisei is planning to play in Japan next year

Damn, that is a buzzkill of epic proportions.

Who do we play in Japan next year?

Watching KT play got me thinking about what kind of shape this kid is in.  He is playing almost full game minutes now and he is running all over the place to try to get open as team are face guarding and going no catch on him.  He plays with so much energy and emotion the kid has to be exhausted after every game.

Pry why he has cramped up badly at the end of a couple recent games.

I broke down the connection between Derrick Walker and Keisei Tominaga (with clips) for Hail Varsity.

Thanks, Jacob.  As always: great work, and it's greatly appreciated!

I have two work-around ideas...

 

1. Have KT's parents invest in "BBB Printing," so any profits realized from the sales of their shirts can be funnelled there. Or something. I'm clearly very intelligent and knowledgeable about business.

 

2. Play a game in Japan, so while he is in Japan he can participate in NIL deals like Jaz Shelly did this summer. Take enough boosters and we can make it worth it while he's there.

A Kick-Off game in Japan sounds intriguing… NGL.

 

Logistics wise, don’t know that it could be pulled off at this point though.

Aren't they eligible to take an overseas summer trip this year?  IIRC schools can take one every 4 years and the last time we took one would have been in summer of 2019 to Italy?

 

Maybe Japan would be a good place for these guys to go?

Can we take Kansas State with us?

I’m going to be pretty bummed if he leaves. He’s my favorite NU basketball player - maybe of all time…

[AuroranHusker]

Perusing the statistics for K.T., in the past 5 games, he has averaged 16 shots per game. Prior to that, he had been getting just over 6 shots per game. His scoring average went from 10.3 to 12.7 in that 5-game stretch. Last season, K.T. averaged 5.7. In 2022-23, he has been shooting 49.2% from the field (40.3% from three) and 86% from the line. Last season he shot 37.3% (33.3% from three) and 84.2% from FT line. Significant progress all-around in his offensive game, same could be said defensively.

 

It would be very interesting to see how much more progress Keisei could possibly make. I'd love to keep being able to see it, in Lincoln, that is.

And that's when we realized we couldn't compete pre-NIL because we didn't have a varsity boxing program.

Walking into the Vault today see 5 Asian gentlemen outside taking pictures and seemed vvveeerrryyy excited to be here. Then go inside and see 2 more Asian gentleman looked like brothers with their Brand new red 30 Husker jerseys. I do believe he had reached the level of HERO.

I will say this with utmost respect for Keisei.  I thought he struggled a bit today.  He certainly may be worn down a bit, and Minnesota did play him exceedingly physical; but he may also be feeling a bit more pressure given the presence of his parents,  the crowd expectations and his own expectations.   

 

The game to game cramping issue may be tied to this as well.

 

The good news, everyone is picking up their games.  The fact that he is on the floor spreads the floor and allows Sam, DW and many others , great driving lanes.

 

Man this is fun.

Tuesday will be a HUGE game for him 2-28-23 in Lincoln.  Beau Reid hit the game winning shot against Michigan State on 11-28-80 in Lincoln from 30 feet+.  Tominaga will hit a lot of shots from that distance Tuesday.  I wouldn't be surprised if Tominaga scores 28!
