2014 PFIsaac Copeland ->GTown -> Nebraska

[Huskerpapa]

I am not a big fan of picking up another "junior" next year.  It would be good if we could start balancing our classes.  Next year we will have two, possibly three seniors (Evan, Nick & Anton).  Next years Junior class will have MJ, Jack, Ed, JP and Glynn.  The sophomores will be Isaiah, Jeriah and Jordy.  We currently have one incoming freshman.  If you add another junior, that would place six players in the junior class.  Seems too heavy.

This is from a December 22 report by Jon Rothstein:

 

Georgetown Hoyas transfer Isaac Copeland will for apply for a medical redshirt for the 2016-17 season, multiple sources told FanRag Sports on Thursday.

. . . a source told FanRag Sports that [Copeland] will undergo back surgery in the next few days and miss the next two-to-three months before he can resume physical activity.

. . . 

A former five-star recruit out of high school, Copeland would have two years of eligibility remaining if he receives a medical redshirt from the NCAA for this past season.

A separate source told FanRag Sports that Copeland received his unconditional release from Georgetown on Thursday.

 

If the guy is getting back surgery you probably can throw out this year's number when evaluating whether or not you'd want him here.

Good stuff here.  It's probably premium content, but the tweet gives a good heads up.

Him having 2 years eligibility remaining (if that ends up the case) would make a lot of difference to me in terms of wanting to add him.  How long would he have to sit to be eligible?  Fall semester graduation next season? 

[ShortDust]

If he's given his medical

hardship then he can play immediately next year, if not granted that he will be eligible in January.

do you think copeland and ed would start inside next year? or would copeland move to small forward?

Copeland played minutes with a 6-10 270# and 6-7 250# player on the court. (He is 6'9" 220), He also played a lot of minutes with the 6'10" center.

Seems capable of playing as a stretch 4 or a 3. Anyone who saw him play last year would be able to clarify.

 

Him starting or playing big minutes is a whole other ball of wax.

For someone who has researched and read about this transfer, what are the odds he commits here?

Well, Kansas, Arizona, and Texas are all interested, among others.  But, Hunter helped recruit him to Georgetown, so there's that.  And then there's this:

Anybody know if Isaac was in the house today?  College Park is like a subway ride away from the Georgetown campus.

[royalfan]

If he was, I don't think the uniform selection probably hurt matters.  Nor did the result. 

[uneblinstu]

No inside info here, but NU doesn't usually get involved with transfers and not land 'em, it seems.

...except for Max Bielfeldt...

That's why I put some qualifiers in there.

But we've had more "success" with traditional transfers than we have the senior transfer route.

If he visited the odds are quite good.

He retweeted Anton Gill about his injury....both those guys played HS ball in Raleigh so they probably know each other.

At some point they played on the team. High school I think.

[REDZONEDAN]

[Silverbacked1]

Thanks, I missed that link. We might actually fill all of our scholarships for once.

That picture must have been when they were freshman because they look very young.

[ShortDust]

If he makes it on campus I line our chances. Feel Ku is biggest competition. Just have to wait and see here rather soon.
