Maybe that's why some NIL calls were made today.

So far in the 2022-2023 + season, Nebraska Basketball is undefeated against the Axis of Evil: Creighton, Iowa and Wisconsin.  GBR!

His footwork is elite in the midrange and around the hoop.  If you know how to do that kind of thing, defensive rotations etc won’t be an issue for this young man.

Just watched his 12 minute highlight video. Not overly athletic, but this kid is a straight up hooper. As a junior in HS has more polish than most college seniors. Obviously hard to read too much from just a highlight video, but he gives me some real Tominaga vibes in the way he shoots/plays. 
 

One question I have is whether he is a PG or a SG. If he is not a PG then he is a bit small and unathletic for the 2, and may have defensive limitations similar to Keisei

I love HHC! It's an online bar where people can speak their minds.

I watched a video with a badger podcaster that hosted a fairly knowledgeable recruiting analyst to discuss him.  He said that while he can step over and play the point, his best stuff will come at the two because of how good he is at moving without the ball and shot hunting.

An absolute stud and the type of player we just don’t get, ever. Wish he could sign his LOI today because the blue bloods will be calling next year. 

[HuskerFever]

I'm just not an offseason person. But I like this offseason.

 

Is it enough for us? Idk. But who cares. Let's go!

[royalfan]

For nba guys footwork reminds me of a prime Dragic.  Little better shooter than Dragic but not as quick as a prime Dragic.  

[basketballjones]

This is….. uh…. a hell of a f***ing steal from Wisconsin.

The difference is he’s legitimately 6’4”, strong, and has decent length. Much more room to develop physically than KT.

Sebastians kid?

Hahahaha!  The 250 lb kicker!   Great reference 

[Huskerpapa]

Wow.  Nice get.  What a great week.  Welcome to the real land of red young man!

[B-town hoopsfan]

He’s got some broad shoulders, very bulky frame in a good way imo.

 

his game and size give me jalen Pickett vibes which would be a home run for us

Wisconsin and Marquette didn’t pursuit very hard, wonder what the deal is

How is this known exactly?  Or assumed since we got him that they couldn’t have?

Yeah, sort of. . . the left-footed kicker's named Janikowski.

Wow. Was not expecting this. After that Parker F slow-play 3-time disaster, I'd forgotten that high school kids can be decisive and not all of them are afraid of commitment. This is Nice.

Observation #1: Fred seems to like lefties.

 

Observation #2: Matt Thomas, II?

 

Observation #3: I really like the way he simulates shooting an arrow every time he hits a deep shot and jaws his opponents after scoring over them rather than getting back on D. /snark

Matt Thomas was the first player who came to my mind as well.  I know I am type casting a bit…Top 150 6’4” white kid from Wisconsin that can bomb threes.  I don’t think Matt was a lefty but a lot of similarities in the role I envision on our team.  Nick may have more game inside the arc than Matt but time will tell.

Rivals Futurecast had him 100% to Wisconsin, so ...
