Prospects visiting Nebraska in the very near future

[hhcmatt]

So no commitment before he left town but will head back to DC and think everything over with his family.  I still see him being N though.

 

I hope you're right but it's never a good sign when guys leave campus without a commitment.

[Cookie Belcher]

Wow that is pretty shocking that he didn't commit on the trip. Actually concerns me a bit as I thought this was in the bag.

Tim asked him and Myles Turner to wait to until signing day on the 16th.

I'm assuming that everybody is assuming that you are joking.   I'd be crazy nuts if we found out you weren't

Would certainly be odd......

Yes please let this be true

Yes please let this be true

Sadly his dad was texting bill Self Saturday night during the Hoops Summit so I don't see us getting him. ;-)

Well maybe he was texting to tell Self to back off because he is going to be a HUSKER BABY!!!

or not.

Actually, if he was here on the contingency for playing time, would they be waiting to see if Ristic is coming here?

Domingo is a sophomore who is approximately the same age as the fairly young for his class Tai Webster.

He was academically gifted enough to enroll at Georgetown at the age of 17.

[The Coach]

A lot of similarities between Domingo and Tai Webster, according to this article:

 

 

Domingo made just 3 of 27 three-point attempts over two years at Georgetown. Although he was given generous minutes right away, Domingo didn't appear to be ready for the college game. His shot was off, and he struggled to affect the game in other ways. His confidence appeared to wane, and he did not play meaningful minutes during conference play.

I'm intrigued by this.  Domingo was a top ranked recruit coming into Georgetown but some Hoya fans blame Thompson for his struggles.  Sounds like a kid who enrolled a year early but wasnt physically and mentally to complete with 20-22 year olds.  If we are interested...get him to Lincoln, use his transfer year to work on his body and we would have two years with a kid that is loaded with potential.

Stephen Domingo is hard to figure. Coming out of High School he held consensus four-star status by Rivals, ESPN and Scout, and he held top 30 status in the 2013 class as a shooting guard. He also played on the USA's U17 team. He left high school before the last semester of his senior year. At Georgetown he struggled mightily over two years (e.g., something like 11% from three) in limited playing time. He is still only 18 years old. Could he turn it around at Nebraska? Perhaps Tim Miles and Co. think so. Might be a good Hawkins replacement.

Here is a link to a Verbal Commits page that has a pre-Georgetown video of him: http://www.verbalcommits.com/players/stephen-domingo . Perhaps Norm and others could weigh in on his shooting form.

In addition to Georgetown, he had offers from Harvard and Stanford, so his academics should be strong.

[Sgt Lincoln Osiris]

I'd be excited about landing him.  He's younger than a lot of incoming freshman, and a year of redshirting would allow him the opportunity to grow and develop his game with our staff and be the typical age of a junior by the time he is eligible.  I would think he has a pretty high ceiling.  

[Norm Peterson]

When did he enroll at G'town?  He left HS a semester early?  Would that mean he has already spent a redshirt semester?  So when would his eligibility run out?  Like midway through his 5th year of eligibility?  I'm curious about that.

 

As for the video, you know what Tim Miles says about highlight vids, but this kid can shoot.  Most of his shooting is coming off the dribble rather than catching and shooting, which is a tougher shot and more valuable as an asset because it allows a shooter who can do it to create his own space rather than hoping to find himself open coming off a screen.

 

The kid's mechanics are decent.  He's long and athletic. He probably started college too young and really needs that redshirt year, even now. 

 

I'd take him.  I think he looks like a solid prospect.  But then I defer to the head guy who gets paid the big bucks.

[Huskerpapa]

Petteway struggled early on in his college career as well.  Amazing what a change in scenery and coaching technique can accomplish with some kids.  This kid is bright, he has skills and perhaps was a bit overwhelmed moving from one coast to the other at a very young age.  I would snap this kid up if he becomes available to us.

[hhcmatt]

When did he enroll at G'town?  He left HS a semester early? 

 

A year early. He's from Cali and the scuttle from the GTown forum is that he wants to transfer to Stanford.

It might be a harder sell on the academic reputatoin of the school than the basketball reputation of the school.

I don't remember seeing Ayegba's high school profile on here, so I will post a link. So, basically, if Nebraska lands Ayegba, they will be getting a 4-Star Rivals150 Center that has multiple years of experience playing in the realBigEast and 1 year playing in the newBigEast...

Robin mentioned NU is waiting on Ayegba to graduate for certain in a basketball related thread. Could be the holdup with him.

This certainly makes sense. If he's not able to graduate on time (in 4 years) then he's not eligible to be a graduate transfer, correct? It seems simple enough but his eligibility runs out and his collegiate career is over unless he graduates in 4 years. Right?

No he could stay at Georgetown, which would be hard to go back after announcing but it's possible. He could also go division 2 as well if he doesn't graduate to play next year.

He could stay at Georgetown, but he wouldn't be playing basketball. He's played 4 years, he's done. The way I understand the screwy rule is that you have to graduate in 4 years in order to transfer and gain that 5th year without the penalty of having to sit out. And I think it's just a division 1 rule. Anybody else have any insight? Would make sense. No reason to do anything besides wait to see if he graduates. Probably why we haven't heard anything.
