Yeah, I for one, will be rooting for him to play and live out the rest of his college career on the court instead of the training room.  The odds certainly don't appear to be in his favor though.  He seems like a genuinely good kid based off very brief interactions with him.

From Hookem Headlines: 

 

On Texas Football's Gerry Hamilton reports on May 17 (premium content) that Texas "remains in contact" with Buyuktuncel a few weeks after the spring portal window closed in early May. Texas reportedly likes the "skill set and upside" the UCLA transfer brings to the table as a skilled stretch forward who has multiple years of eligibility remaining to be developed in the frontcourt.

How 'bout this one...

If it's so small it has to be hid, have the courtesy to lift the lid!

Three of my all time favs of things I’ve read in the men’s room..

- in case of nuclear war, hide in here ( toilet), it hasn’t been hit yet 

- if you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie 

- why you looking up here, the joke’s in your hands

RE my post early Weds morning having access to a pic of Berke at the San Antonio airport with Husker shorts on….see Huskerpapa’s tag line “men in general are quick to believe that which they wish to be true “…..how appropriate-> so my bro simply sent me the pic Weds morning and said “hey is this guy a Husker recruit or something?”  He just noticed he was tall and had Husker gear on.    I saw the pic and totally thought it was Berke.  It looked like him and given all the circumstances it added up,easily.  I showed the pic to a friend at work ( who’s a big Husker hoops fan ).  I can’t remember what I said to him or how I might have “led him”.  On a quick glance he said “ oh that’s Berke”….meanwhile back to my brother, that morning I sent him a follow up text saying who he in fact saw in the airport.  ( course I said Berke and who he was and how big a deal he is etc).  Well I finally received a follow up text from him late last night and here’s the rest of the story….my sister in law had talked to the guy AFTER my brother’s initial text.  The guy in the pic is a Sr at NU that works in UNL’s athletic dept (don’t want to be creepy and give more details) and is about 6’4”.  Now that I know that and go back and compare pics a bit more, I can see things better.  Still pretty remarkable resemblance on a glance though. It was a side picture, so that  likely contributed to the error on my part.  I’m sure a year from now (should Berke end up here), it wouldn’t stump me because of being way more familiar with him.  Glad I didn’t post that pic…. Bottom line, I was wrong and what a fascinating situation I did there (sic) …..even BIGGER bottom line “ please Mr Berke, come play hoops here next year ! “ 

 

Just now seeing this.... damn man, you had me excited, lol.

Hearing good news may be coming on this front.  Hope it's true, stay tuned.

Per Berke's instagram, he's at home which means he's eligible to be paid NIL $

[royalfan]

Also means no visits for a little while.  Can he commit during dead period?

Well they did officially change their country name to Türkiye in 2021. So maybe he went to the wrong country. Or went to the countryside in the US and found a turkey.

So it's just a question of who offers the most Anatolian Simoleons?

If never been to Türkiye everyone should consider it sometime.  Istanbul is a very touristic city and multiple things to do and see!  Crowds always.  Grand Bazaar is a definate must see.

Went to Istanbul last year.   A very interesting city.   Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque are both incredible structures.   We just visited the touristy area of the old city - and took a cruise on the Bosphorus.  But it is a very modern city (and enormous - 20+ million).   Airport was probably the largest and arguably the nicest I have seen anywhere.
