So reading up on r/Collegebasketball about this kid it seems like Wisco and Marquette didn't really pursue him (red flag) and I don't know much about his other offers other than Iowa State had a non-committable offer out.  Again, strange for a supposed 4 star from the area.

 

He just seems like the prototypical Badger.  So much so, in fact, that I just expected him to even just walk on if there was no offer pending.

 

I still would say it's only probably 50-50 the kid even makes it to campus.  2024 is a long time from now.  So, I guess I'm not really gonna get to excited.  But hey, I like it and it would be pretty friggin awesome if he actually comes here and is productive.

Sounds like a bunch of sour grapes. Not sure how Reddit guy knows the Iowa State offer was non-committable, but they just hosted him on an official visit so that doesn’t seem accurate. 
Wisconsin actually does a pretty poor job of recruiting their own state. They probably give good effort, but talented kids don’t want to go play in that offense. Their own players don’t even really want to (Chucky). 
 

It appears that he has never visited Wisconsin. Maybe he just hates the Badgers as much as we do. I’m gonna go with that, because that makes me like him even more.

What the heck is a noncommitable offer?  That’s an oxymoron. An offer by definition is something that can be accepted or rejected. If it can’t be accepted then by definition it’s not an offer.

I suppose it’s like asking a girl out on a date, but letting her know you are only taking her out of a different girl you prefer turns you down.  It has to be quite flattering.

At Nebraska we don’t Rebuild, we RELOAD…!!!

This kid can ball.  He is an elite one on one scorer and shooter and needs basically no room to fill it up.  Probably won’t be a great defender, but he’ll outscore most of his matchups from day 1.

The American Tominaga?  Doesn’t really have a ring to it….

 

I am thrilled (shocked?) how well the last week of recruiting has been going.  I hope we can keep the momentum rolling into next season.

They are very similar.  Keisei is a little quicker, but this kid is a lot bigger, a better ball handler, and has a scary midrange post game to go along with a similar outside shot.

As someone who was behind making coaching change earlier this year, I am excited for this commitment. This kid can flat out hoop. If Fred can parlay the upcoming season into a success, this will be an excellent building block moving forward.

Not following they both offered him and were actually recruiting him still? Wisco fans are pissed he didn’t have interest in them

He sort of seems to be that hard nosed gritty type that the home team loves and everyone else can't stand him.  Perhaps he will somehow have a six year career here.

There’s also a long list of talented present and former players from the state that, unlike Janowski, the Badgers didn’t offer. Tyrese Haliburton and Jordan Poole are a couple examples. There’s an even longer list of NBA players from the state that were offered but never considered going there.

I don't know if Wisconsin and Marquette didn't pursue him, moreso that Wisconsin has a guy higher on their board (Knueppel https://247sports.com/player/kon-knueppel-46115296/). Also, Gard has NOT done well in the state of Wisconsin for a while. Davis twins were the last two hat Gard landed from the state. He does do well when Wisconsin kids transfer, and he CLEANS UP in Minnesota. But I view this as more of a Gard connection with the HS's locally more than anything. I had the same thought as you at first, but did some research and found all that out. Found it very interesting honestly. 

 

Here's a screengrab of Wisconsin's in state efforts also: https://twitter.com/itsAntWright/status/1645912694996754438?s=20

Bad angle but Nebraska commit Nick Janowski hits this 3 at the buzzer to give @PhenomUniverse a 61-58 win against Team United. Phenom scored 26 points in the 4th after trailing 45-35 at the end of the 3rd. Janowski led with 15, Amari McCottry had some important late baskets too. pic.twitter.com/eISsAL5fjv

Man am I stoked we got this kid to commit.  

[hhcmatt]

It's been a long off season. I'd forgotten that Jano had committed back in March

This is great. Badger fans claimed they passed on Janowski because they were going to take Knueppel instead. Just another example of the best players in the state of Wisconsin not wanting to play for Wisconsin. Happens every year.

Unfortunately, we sort of have the same issue at Nebraska.  Sad, but true.

I hadn't noticed anyone else point this out yet, sorry if I missed it, but Rivals gave Nick his 4th star and moved him into the top 100.

The upside to coaching continuity is that you are able to land guys like this before they potentially rate out to a more prestigious program
