huskerbaseball13 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Posted April 3, 2014 I'm sure Miles would have liked to have Hawkins stick around but not a huge loss IMO. He could have turned into a solid player but hes not someone we can't replace. I think he could have developed into a good shooter but I was not that impressed with his athleticism. I'm looking forward to seeing who coach can find to replace the two new schollies with. hhcmatt 1 Quote
bobcat402 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Posted April 3, 2014 Maybe Biggs is coming back... !!!! no thanks, that ship has sailed, and i think its in the best interest of both parties, Quote

twinswingohuskers Posted April 3, 2014 Report Posted April 3, 2014 according to OWH Miles was surprised and disappointed with Hawkins departure. If that is the case I doubt if they were looking for someone to fill that position in they're spring recruiting until now, so we may have all of a sudden be looking at an offguard as well as a big.

AuroranHusker Posted April 3, 2014 Report Posted April 3, 2014 If one were to speculate, it would be somewhat likely that Miles & Co. have been working all angles, especially the undergrad & grad transfers, to add depth for both now & the future. It will be very interesting to learn what 'odd pieces' (as Miles noted) that might be heading to Lincoln in short order... hoping for a big that's a brute, a guard who can fill it up from deep w/ lock-down D status as well as a shooter/scorer/slasher who can eventually replace Terran.

They may not have been particularly looking at someone but with two expected spots they had to have several players in mind. This now gives them a third option as well if it came down to several players wanting to be N. Norm Peterson and AuroranHusker 2 Quote

Wayne Pesek Posted April 3, 2014 Report Posted April 3, 2014 Speaking of ISU transfers, DeAndre Kane would have looked good in a Husker uniform this year. Quote

hhcmatt Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 They play zone, shoot 3s, have an open scholarship, and are located in Texas. Seems like a good match. Quote
tcp Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 They play zone, shoot 3s, have an open scholarship, and are located in Texas. Seems like a good match. Interesting choice. Dropping down a bit in competition. Wish him well if this is his choice, though. May he rain threes on anyone in the Big 12. Quote
Swan88 Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 UTA Mavericks? Presumably, that refers to University of Texas-Arlington of the Sun Belt Conference. If so, that's the school who finished 6th place in the ten-team Sun Belt for the 2013-14 basketball season (that's two spots below Arkansas State) and whose final 2014 RPI is 204. Hmmmmm . . . Quote
Norm Peterson Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 Not to sound like sour grapes, but I've always been a bit of a doubter as to whether Nathan had the game for this level. He's supposed to be a 3-pt specialist but his HS percentage was around 30. Never really impressed with his athleticism. I'd say UTA is probably about his speed and I hope he does well there. Quote

Huskerpapa Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 I thought and still believe Hawkins could have been a good player for us. He would have lacked quickness, sure. But he appeared to be physical and oftentimes, physlical play will make up for lack of quickness...especially with the right officials working the game. Quote
Norm Peterson Posted April 13, 2014 Report Posted April 13, 2014 Good for Nate. Wish him well. I think he's a good kid and I hope he has a good career there. Quote
AuroranHusker Posted April 13, 2014 Report Posted April 13, 2014 Thanks for sharing... wish The Hawk well w/ the Mavs down south! Quote
