imnothipp Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 according to Twitter he is visiting Tuesday. Surprised no one has brought this up. I saw the post on RSS from Steven. Apparently a PG. https://twitter.com/MahlonJones01/status/325296728901296128 http://stats.njcaa.org/sports/mbkb/2012-13/div2/players/mahlonjones48q5 Quote

imnothipp Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Posted April 21, 2013 Stealing again from RSS, a poster who seen him many times says definitely not a walk on. Ha offers from mid majors. Even though he played D2 juco, his team played against all of the Kansas jucos and he held his own. Norm Peterson 1 Quote
TheKamdyMan Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 Stealing again from RSS, a poster who seen him many times says definitely not a walk on. Ha offers from mid majors. Even though he played D2 juco, his team played against all of the Kansas jucos and he held his own. That guy was just blowing smoke. All it takes is checking their schedule to see they played a bunch of Kansas school for the blinds. They did beat one D1 juco but lost, and sometimes badly, to the others they played. They mostly scheduled a bunch of NAIA JV teams. That's like Norm playing against them. Also if he has all these offers why can't any site confirm them. Guys usually aren't visiting schools they don't have offers at when they don't have much time left to make a decision, especially a juco player. Quote
Norm Peterson Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 Hmmmm. Biggs do something bad again? Maybe those squelched rumors about Tai actually had legs. Otherwise, this doesn't make sense. Quote
MandRHusker Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 Or are we having trouble filling the last scholarship and are willing to look at a guard to fill it, if he is good enough? Quote
Huskerpapa Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 ...or perhaps he requested a visit and we are accomodating him. Quote
Nebrasketballer Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 He is a Div II JUCO. If would seem to me that he would be a walkon. I can't imagine Nebraska taking him ahead of Tummala or Herbert. https://twitter.com/huskerextrabr/status/325993882095599617 Quote
GATA Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 He is a Div II JUCO. If would seem to me that he would be a walkon. I can't imagine Nebraska taking him ahead of Tummala or Herbert. https://twitter.com/huskerextrabr/status/325993882095599617 Being that it's an unofficial, I think that pretty much tells us he isn't a legit target with our scholarship. Or maybe that's just my hope... Quote
HuskerCager Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 It doesn't seem like we are enjoying that schnapps in moderation anymore. Quote
Silverbacked1 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 It is a bit nippy outside yet so a shot of schnapps is still a welcome taste. Quote
The_Vault Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 he just tweeted that he is a combo scoring guard. So he could be a 2 I guess. Says he trusts Miles Quote
TheKamdyMan Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 btw his visit is unofficial. More and more just sounding like a courtesy to the kid who was trying to contact Nebraska. Quote
Donkey Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 It was posted on RSS that no scholarship offer has been extended to Jones; however, supposedly Jones really wants an opportunity to prove himself. It sounds like he is a preferred walkon candidate and nothing else. I do wonder if Miles is entertaining Jones because Peltz's recovery has not been progressing as expected. Quote
Silverbacked1 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 Well I think this means Menke is leaving. I mean why would you stay at a program that pulls your scholarship? Quote
Norm Peterson Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 he just tweeted that he is a combo scoring guard. So he could be a 2 I guess. Says he trusts Miles Has really low 3 pt percent for a guy who considers himself a combo guard. His juco stats indicated he's about a 20% shooter from outside the arc. Quote
HuskerCager Posted April 22, 2013 Report Posted April 22, 2013 I'm not sure Menke's scholarship was pulled, so much as it was promised to him for one year, right? We've done that before. Quote
Huskerpapa Posted April 22, 2013 Report Posted April 22, 2013 Jones earns All-American recognitionApril 10, 2013 Hesston College men’s basketball standout Mahlon Jones (Oklahoma City) has been named a third-team National Junior College Athletic Association All-American. http://www.hesston.edu/2013/04/jones-earns-all-american-recognition/ Quote

The_Vault Posted April 22, 2013 Report Posted April 22, 2013 i tweeted him and he said he wasnt gonna be a preferred walk on. not his decision but still. He's hoping to get a scholarship Quote
TheKamdyMan Posted April 22, 2013 Report Posted April 22, 2013 i tweeted him and he said he wasnt gonna be a preferred walk on. not his decision but still. He's hoping to get a scholarship cant fault the guy for trying but he has definitely set his sights too high when he cant even get MVC or C-USA schools that are regionally close to offer him. Quote
TheKamdyMan Posted May 3, 2013 Report Posted May 3, 2013 didnt make it when he scheduled and said it would be the following week and again heard it was postponed. I think the kid is realizing Nebraska was probably being nice in saying he could visit but now knows he wont get a scholarship. Quote
