Transfers

[GATA]

I see Creighton got a nice transfer in Maurice Watson. That's a great get.

miles sounded extremely confident that we were going to land some big guys in his spring game interview.

I think we have somebody locked up that nobody knows about yet.

Is that common out of season? For someone to give a silent commitment before doing so verbally?

[FredsSlacks]

It was an interview with Will Shields on btn. He asked Miles if Nebraska was going to be better in 2014-2015

 

Miles said something like: we should be much better inside next year from our recruits that we are bringing in.

Not sure if anybody saw this....the guard is transferring from USC and is eligible for one year next year right away.  Averaged 17.8 PPG.  Guys a baller.

 

Obviously I have NO idea if NU is even looking or if he would even come this way, but its kind of fun to see who comes and goes from schools. 

[GATA]

He'd certainly fill a need, although he doesn't appear to be a great outside shooter.

This post, though, probably belongs in the transfers thread.

CSU Grad transfer Dwight Smith re-tweeted someone who basically thought DS would end up at Nebraska w/ Tim Miles (once again).... [ I'll have to look it up later.]

You'd have to think that DS is our "are you kidding me we didn't fill our scholarship allotment again" player.  It's be rather ODD to sign him.

No doubt. Tim did say that 'odd pieces' were involved, but perhaps that comment referred to Molinari.

Here it is... the accompanying article is an interesting read:

Nebraska is recruiting Cole Huff, a 6-8 sophomore who is transferring from Nevada.

Iowa, Creighton, Michigan, and Dayton are also after him.

[MandRHusker]

There is a report that the Huskers are pursuing sophomore Nevada transfer Cole Huff. Cole is a 6'8" forward who was 2nd on the team in scoring at 12 ppg and averaged 5.4 rpg. Huff shot 45% from the field and 40% from the 3 point line. Iowa is also after Huff.

[hhcmatt]

Nevada fans seem pretty upset about his loss.

However looks like they just loosened up where he can transfer

 

 

He's from Cali...he might look to go back there.

[Cookie Belcher]

I would like to have him but don't see any special reason he would favor Nebraska.

[GATA]

My takeaway is that if we're after Huff, it must mean we don't have a silent commit from anyone else.

Nebraska still has 3 open schollies, who's the other known 'N' guy(s) besides Moses Ayegba? Would that be a for-sure-healthy Deng Deng or mere speculation?

[TheKamdyMan]

My takeaway is that if we're after Huff, it must mean we don't have a silent commit from anyone else.

Robin commented on HOL that Huff would be a perfect fit for the 3rd open spot. That leads me to believe there's something that he knows that's currently off the record otherwise that response seems odd.

That could be.

 

From a different prospective, it could mean he's perfect for the third spot because the second spot needs to go to a 5th-year transfer (Ayegba), and we probably aren't getting two of those, leaving the third spot for a transfer who must sit out (since this player theoretically isn't coming off an injury like Deng).

What would be the purpose of a silent commit at this point (after signing day)?

The silent commitment, I presume, would be from a transfer who isn't ready to announce or maybe he has to get his credits figured out?

That scenario would make sense. Can you recruit a player that hasn't announced he's transferring? Or is that like tampering in the pros?

[FredsSlacks]

Moses, Huff, Deng. That's probably the 3 players we are after. I doubt there's a silent commit at this point.

Only if the player contacts the 'new' school in the first place... not the other way around.

[Natural9]

We appear to be on the outside looking in with Huff.

 

Here's a tweet from his AAU coach:

No visit dates have been set yet for Cole Huff but Dayton Iowa Creighton Vanderbilt Michigan are the schools he's most interested in

So now Creighton can beat them in conference and act like they accomplished something.
