Tough to get lower than Chan. He was like if you ordered a Herbie Husker shirt online and when it showed up it was a child's size 10.

I'd say JR Strowbridge is the top end of that scale. Someone has to occupy the bottom spot and Elijah Wood is thankful that Tim Miles recruited Dedoch Chan. thrasher31 and Huskerpapa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hhcmatt Posted July 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Considering the current glut of guys we potentially have graduating in 2024-25 I wonder if we make this pickup if WB is still on the roster as that would have just left us with one scholarship for 2024-25. I suspect we still take Diop but it's certainly becomes a debate first. Handy Johnson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norm Peterson Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 I don't know how good his shooting touch is, but it looks like his mechanics are solid, so at least there are no big red flags that he's going to be a terrible FT shooter like our old friend Yvan.
