2016 F Keanu Pinder JC -> Arizona

[hhcmatt]

Pretty sure there's not a person on this board who suggested Miles doesn't have a back-up plan. The concern is about the caliber of that plan.

That's fair. Mostly I wanted to repost Keanu.

Keanu Pinder is N!!! decent way to start off the week

[Huskerpapa]

Are you for real huskas4real?  I haven't found the confirmation yet.

[HuskerPower #nato73]

Lots of "booming" from asst coaches on twitter.

And now tweeted by Keanu himself.

#BOOM

If he qualifies then this could be a 4 star get. BOOM!

[HB]

Any update on his chances of being eligible?  Earlier suggestions were that eligibiltiy was a long shot. 

[bball23]

Great news!!  Now, what are the chances of him being eligible?  This is a great get for NU.  Very excited to have him on board.

[jdostal]

Per Washut, it sounds like he'll have to reclassify for 2015.

 

Edit:  I'm not sure how speculative that is versus what he's heard.

Washut's take on eligibility

 

[bball23]

Ha!!  I just posted this on the main board.  Having Pinder on both pages gets confusing.  Can we move this to the main page now that he has "committed"? 

 

Thanks!

[Cookie Belcher]

Big pickup. Too bad he has to reclassify but as long as he makes it here I guess.

[Huskerpapa]

He actually is now going to stay two yours at the Sunrise Acadamy and will be a 2015 recruit.,

[royalfan]

Can this kid shoot?  Or does he have the type of game that could turn into being a good shooter?

As long as he makes it here AND is as good as advertised.  I mean, if it turns out he sucks, I don't really care whether he makes it here.  We will know a heckuva lot more in just a couple of months, though, when we see what kind of body of work he starts producing here in perp school.

Perp school Norm? Guess he is trying to be one bad dude.

[Norm Peterson]

Sorry, I meant "PREP school."  Must have been a Freudian slip.  My bad.

[busticket]

Rivals has him listed as 2015 FWIW. Solid get either way; we haven't had a ton of 6'8" athletic forwards on the team for some time!

[rahusker]

I believe he is on one of the top prep school teams but does anyone know if he's playing?

hes playing but how much is anyones guess.  Their school site, Maxpreps, etc have scores listed but no stats or box scores.

[Hooper]

Sunrise Christian has three teams, and Pinder is on their "Elite Team," along with Lourawls Nairn and their other D1 prospects. I don't know how many minutes he plays. They have some great players on that team, so competition for playing time is pretty intense I would imagine.

Here is a recent highlights video from Sunrise Christian Academy.  Keanu Pinder is # 20.

[trickey]

 

Dang those Spartans...#11 is hot!

[huskerbaseball13]

Should we be concerned that Pinder is not getting much PT this year?  Sounds like he is on a pretty solid team but a recent update had him playing like 6 minutes a game.  Sounds like he has A++ athleticism but is extremely raw.
