In state kids?

[basketballjones]

I saw Daum play twice in hs left severely underwhelmed each time. When he turned up at SDSU after his redshirt season and exploded I was purely shocked. 

 

And you guys know I'm desperate to get some in state kids.

I think we've carried an extra scholarship into the season every year under Miles. Only once have we filled it with a mid-season transfer. I'm excited for his potential, but I'd love it if at least occasionally that scholarship had been filled. Someone like a Tre'Shawn Thurman would have been a perfect use of that open scholie. There are plenty of in-state guys that could have been the 13th guy on the roster. That doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

 

No longer with the Omaha Mavs......

Wonder what this means for TT.....

Thurman is a nice player, and could play here - but he doesn't play a position of need, Miles will look elsewhere.

Highly unlikely, but maybe we will get the chance to see if Thurm can play for Nebraska and in the Big Ten any day of the week like Mr. Sam said.

On a serious note does anybody have any info?

 

I don't believe he is graduating this year so he will sit one to play one right? Maybe he wants to link up with Tazz and JP (assuming he's not gone) and play for Creighton.

Found this from Swaggy T. Seems like a sound take.

Interesting move. I'm assuming he's graduated?

nope. Redshirt one to play one.

He's moving to get more NBA exposure.

Wow the family made the decision for him? Not a fan of that at all.

[busticket]

Sucks for UNO.  I wonder how many programs want to take a kid for one year to play one year.  TT is a nice player, though.  He had some crazy dunks for the Mavs this year.

Add that to Jess Shepard transferring from Nebraska, and it's been quite a day for in-state prospects moving on...

Big question is... what team is going to give up a scholarship for 2 years, to get just 1 year of PT?

I'm going with Iowa St. They lose a lot.

This was my initial thought too. I don't think Creighton or Nebraska are willing to give up two years of scholarship to play one though.

He'd do well there, I'd imagine.

So, is he going to Syracuse?

Besides Ed Chang, I'd say the best in state prospect is Kanon Koster out of Kearney. Worth a look

Too bad Aguek Arop didn't follow the same course of action... what's Arop up to at the moment?!

Excellent. I hope he gets qualified and then gets to Lincoln.
