We're back to recruiting HS kids from Lincoln

 

[basketballjones]

 

This is a huge commit tbh. Lincoln and Omaha are exploding with talent and he plays for an influential AAU team, and is well liked. 
 

Great future piece.

I'm trying to verify the rumor that he committed to us.

 

Can verify

Here's a comment I saw elsewhere that I thought was particularly appropriate:

Love this pick up for the Huskers. I don't want to overstate it, but you simply cannot go 20 years in between Nebraska HS recruits signing with your school. It is just unreal that we haven't signed a Nebraska kid since 2001.

Except it's not even remotely true:

IIRC, Coach Miles had signed several Nebraska kids in that cycle too.

it’s kids from lincoln not just nebraska

It's the sentiment that counts.    Hopefully in-state recruiting is becoming more important to Fred and his Assistants, particularly with the upcoming talent in the state.

Okay fair enough.  But still patently false:

Looking forward to having to explain to someone in 2035 why we didn't land Lincoln native Chuck Love Jr.

Funny, I was just thinking of that myself.  Yeah, that could prove uncomfortable. 

Hmm, I also wonder why the young man transferred?

To La Lumiere?  Because it's a basketball powerhouse that will increase his profile.

Oh shoot, I forgot that was his landing spot.  I was talking about his initial move from Southwest to Northeast. 

I did note that Nebraska is supposedly still recruiting Chuck.  Coach Howard is mentioned as his main recruiter.

He didn’t ever sign though did he? Just a verbal commit for a while.

For a coach who's supposedly on the hot seat he sure as hell can recruit!

Fred and his staff have worked very hard to show they value the in-state kids in the last few years. They’re making huge progress and the talent is starting to blossom.

Like I’ve said in other threads, I don’t think Coach is on the hot seat whatsoever. I think he has a very long leash because Albert’s likes how they run their program and the changes they've made. 
 

Now…….. if we have a bad year this year… idk
