who are our 2014 targets?

[seaofred92]

now that 2013 recruiting is pretty much over with, who are our main targets for 2014? We obviously have a big need for a big guy, should we use both scholarships on post guys?

In my opinion:

 

#1)  Myles Turner: 6'11", 225 lbs, Center

Rivals: 4-Star, #78 overall prospect in the 2014 class

#2)  Zylan Cheatham: 6'8", 205 lbs, Small Forward 

Rivals: 4-Star, #68 overall prospect in the 2014 class

(I think he could continue to grow and play the 4-Spot)

And if any more spots open up due to attrition, then I would imagine that these guys would be towards the top of Nebraska's list to fill additional spots:

 

Malek Harris: 6'7", 170 lbs, Rivals150

Leon Gilmore: 6'7"

Whatever happened to the 5-star kid out of Florida who said Nebraska had a legitimate shot with him?  Has he eliminated us?

D'Angelo Russell? He hasn't eliminated us to my knowledge. He's a rivals 4 star but one of te recruiting services gave him 5 stars I believe.

Anyone more in the know than me, which is most of you, know anything about Josh Perkins out of CO?  Scout has him as a 5 star pg and he lists us despite no offer from us.

Yeah, Nebraska is in on multiple highly ranked players in the 2014 class.  It would be a huge upgrade of talent if Nebraska were to land any of the players that have been listed in this thread.  In my opinion, Nebraska's #1 and #2 targets need to be Myles Turner and Zylan Cheatham, because they can help fill the huge void at the 4 and 5 spots.

 

Nebraska could use an upgrade in talent at any position, but I really hope the coaches focus primarily on landing players to play the 4 and 5 spots.

247 has updated its rankings:

Casey Benson's (#127) interest in Nebraska is listed as "warm".  Have hardly looked at all the guys, but checked his new ranking, since Creighton's also pursuing him.
