Silverbacked1 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Do we really have room for both Pinder and Morrow next year? They seem like too similar of players - athletic small-forward types. It seems like we are pretty set at that position already, especially if we land Deng this year. If we can land Morrow, I think I'd let Pinder go elsewhere. We need to add a true post player and an outside shooter (I like Andrew Fleming - haven't heard much about him lately). If we don't land Dickerson or Smith this year, we may also need a point guard. Let Pinder go and ruin my avatar? No way! he tweeted about the win and how bad he wants to be here. hhcmatt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebrasketballer Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Some people have concerns about Morrow's size as it relates to him playing the 4-spot. As a Jr in high school, Morrow's newest measurements are 6'7", 210 lbs. (That is what David Rivers is right now as a Jr in college). With him being a Jr in high school right now, it would not be crazy to think that he could grow another 1, maybe even 2, inches over the next 2 years. There is also a very good chance that he could gain 15-20 lbs over the next 2 seasons, which would put him at 6'7" (or 6'8"-6'9") and 230 lbs as a true freshman. Add in the fact that he is more explosive, more athletic, and more skilled than the players that Nebraska currently has playing the 4-Spot...and that is a pretty substantial upgrade, in my opinion. Here is the link to his current rivals profile: http://sports.yahoo.com/nebraska/basketball/recruiting/player-Edward-Morrow-153098 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanigan123 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Scout just did an update w him but I'm not a member. I think he is a 4 already. He has te to develop, of course is love for hint to get to 6'9" but he is athletic enough to be a force at 6'7" if u have a big guy at the 5.

Norm Peterson Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 He signs with us as a 6'7", 210# PF and then, over his senior year, he grows another 2 inches and finishes his HS career at 6'9" and 230#. Well, I mean, it could happen, right? Nebrasketballer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GATA Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 He signs with us as a 6'7", 210# PF and then, over his senior year, he grows another 2 inches and finishes his HS career at 6'9" and 230#. Well, I mean, it could happen, right? Sure, David Robinson grew like 6 inches after joining the Naval Academy. Maybe we can get our own Admiral!

lanigan123 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Would I prefer he be 6'9"? Yes, but his film shows the ability now. Nebrasketballer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverbacked1 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Okay an unoffical is on his own dime, but what can the staff do for him while he is here? I ask because I don't know. Thanks I'll hang up and listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coach Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Would love to get this kid, reminds me a lot of Petteway. Great motor and work ethic, terrific athleticism. I heard he held his own this year against Cliff Alexander and Jahlil Okafor (both 5-star players). I have a feeling he will blow up this summer.

lanigan123 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Yes he will blow up. If he were to grow to a legit 6'9" he would jump substantially. The future line up looks good. Would love to add another wing/guard to this class. What a solid class it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Section_316 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 An early commitment from a borderline top 100 would be so huge for this program!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebrasketballer Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 In this interview, talks about how Morrow matched up well against Jahlil Okafor. If people are worried about his ability to play in the post...I would think that him being able to match up with one of the best post players in the country would help to stop those worries. And in that matchup, he was only a Junior, while Okafor is a senior... http://www.highschoolcubenews.com/news_article/show/363257?referrer_id=596370 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuttlesworth Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Okay an unoffical is on his own dime, but what can the staff do for him while he is here? I ask because I don't know. Thanks I'll hang up and listen. Obviously no meals, entertainment, transportation to Lincoln, or lodging are provided. Other than that it can be treated just like an official, except there is no 48 hour time restriction on an unofficial visit. The university can even provide transportation around campus and between venues. His unofficial could look something like this:Friday Night: -Meet and greet with staff and players. -Facilities tour. -Dinner/Entertainment (on own dime) with players. Saturday: -Unorganized pick-up game/workout with players. -Meet and greet with S&C Coach. -Lunch (on own dime) with staff and/or players. -Attend spring game. (University provides no more than three tickets) -Dinner (on own dime) and meeting with Coach Miles. Sunday: -Breakfast (on own dime)/meet and greet with life-skills coordinator. -Meet and greet with academic coordinator/counselor. -Campus tour. -Lunch (on own dime) with staff members.
