The Coach Posted August 1, 2013 Report Posted August 1, 2013 6'10 post from New Zealand says he will going the US College route as a 2014 recruit. Hopefully Harriman is on him. He played in the same pro league Webster did and is currently playing with the NZ National team in international play. Had 16 points and 8 rebounds in a recent game. Link Link hhcmatt 1 Quote
ajb5856 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Posted August 1, 2013 He's a lefty, too! Miles and Harriman are all over this guy. Quote
Swan88 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Posted August 1, 2013 Here is a link to a set of interviews, including one of Jack Salt. Salt's interview starts around the 8:15 mark and ends around 9:20. The interview posting is dated July 18, 2013 and includes a discussion of Salt's decision to play basketball at a US college. Quote
bobcat402 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Posted August 1, 2013 My wish includes this gentelman and Hammond from oklahoma, these seem realistic targets for us to get SKERS!! Quote
Huskerpapa Posted August 1, 2013 Report Posted August 1, 2013 Just 17 and he appears to have game...me lika. Quote
Cell Posted August 1, 2013 Report Posted August 1, 2013 Mentioned Salt over in another thread a while ago http://board.huskerhoopscentral.com/topic/1746-another-tai-thread/ He was on the same High School team as Tai was last year and has been involved with the New Zealand breakers pro team for a while now. Also he went at 8.6ppg and 5.4rpg for the Super City Rangers team that played in the New Zealand National League. I could see him ending up at a college on the level of Nebraska, having Tai there surely couldn't hurt your chances in getting him. Quote

The Coach Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Posted August 2, 2013 Here's some video of him playing in the New Zealand league (#91 in blue) Link Seems very "Vucetic-like" at this point, runs the floor well but not very strong. He got owned in the post a few times. Has an awkward little hook shot. Had a nice follow-dunk at 18:30 though. Quote
TheKamdyMan Posted August 14, 2013 Report Posted August 14, 2013 He played for the NZ national team last night, The Tall Blacks, against Australia in the Fiba Oceanic Championships. He went 0-1 in 16 minutes with 0 rebounds and 0 assists. Not exactly a great night from him. Also in that game the top 2 Australian high schoolers played a few minutes. Im assuming him to be a future one and done player at Indiana in Dante Exum and 2015 stud Ben Simmons. Quote
Cell Posted August 16, 2013 Report Posted August 16, 2013 Salt only played about 3 minutes. It is a huge step up for him to be going against the likes of David Andersen (former NBA player) and Luke Nevill (former MWC player of the year). Salt actually only made the team due to 3 other big men making themselves unavailable. He does look like a player that in 3-5 years could be a solid international player for New Zealand as a back up big man for Steven Adams. He was interviewed on television last week here and said he is being recruited by Pittsburgh, Wake Forrest, St Marys and St Louis. Quote
