Bol's way too good looking to play for Purdue. Or Iowa or Wisconsin, for that matter.

[hhcmatt]

Would be interested in his wingspan because he has a Merton Hanks length neck

[busticket]

Do we have a shot here?  Sounds like some big players are involved.  

[Huskerpapa]

1% give or take...

 

 

[hhcmatt]

I saw a box score from game one and it didn't look like he was in it

Would think we wouldn't use resources here if we didn't think we had a somewhat decent chance. Coach Ziegler would certainly earn a raise if he pulls this off

Coming for an unofficial on Saturday

He is actually pretty short for a Bol...

[millerhusker]

Holy cow. That's a pretty big deal just to get him on campus. His national consensus ranking is #25. A bit higher than Bryce. Would be our highest rated recruit since... does Keith Brumbaugh count?

Is his dad Manute? I found the answer, Manute is not his dad.

This seems like it would be a great time for the 1890 initiative to make their presence felt in basketball;

1890 will be adding mens basketball

[hhcmatt]

Looks like they made the announcement about women's basketball a few days ago on twitter. Will keep a lookout for men's

Bol should be visible from the upper bowl for those that attend the game on Saturday

For those in the lower bowl?  You're out of luck.

We might even sell out the Upper Bowl if he Commits.
