Tai Webster reminds me of...

[aphilso1]

...Shane Larkin, the current do-everything PG for Miami.  Every time I've seen the Canes play this year, I can't help but see similarities to Webster's highlight videos.  Anyone else noticed this?

[PAhusker]

hope so

[Cybrrmonky]

If he's that good, we'll win alot of games.

If he's that good, we'll contend for the league title.

when does webster get to campus? June?

[uneblinstu]

I haven't seen nearly enough of Webster to compare him to anyone.  Also, Larkin didn't step onto campus and immediately become the leader of that team.  He was just a role player last year and I'd argue Webster probably has a bigger adjustment to make than Larkin probably did.

[cipsucks]

He reminds me of Tyronn Lue, Dapreis Owens and Andre Woolridge.  I say this having watched only a few seconds of his videos.  He looks really good.

 

From what I've heard, if he was playing in the USA, he'd be a four star recruit.  If I'm not mistaken, Lue, Owens and Woolridge were also.  So, which one of these former Huskers will he resemble?  The one that met and surpassed expectations, the one that did okay, but for the most part, fell short of expectations or the one who decided Nebraska wasn't the place for him?

 

That's the thing about these kids.  You just never know.

Webster actually is a 4-star on ESPN.com. He's unrated by Rivals because they haven't been able to evaluate any film on him.

 

I don't have confirmation on Webster's arrival date, but Nate Hawkins gets to Lincoln the first week of June, so I have to believe Fuller and Webster will arrive around that same time. That will give those guys months over the summer and fall to play a lot of basketball with their new teammates.

This just seems a bit odd...how does ESPN have film to evaluate but Rivals doesn't?

 

Not that it matters, but I don't get it.

All three: Nick, Tai, and Nathan were right on the cusp 4-stars in their evals this summer, from at least one of the major services.  These guys are much closer to legit 4-stars than I think we give them credit for.  ESPN has international correspondents (Like Fran F.) so they've seen him in person a couple of times, where the other probably don't.
