Interesting: UNLV just added Oregon transfer Ben Carter, leaving them with 0 open scholarships. Jordan Cornish is visiting them next weekend

I really like our chances now.

 

I wouldn't really feel welcome going to a school that has no open spots for me.

 

I think we can offer just as much playing time as wake forest, but we are already an established winner in the big 10 and wake is rebuilding.

I just don't want to get too excited about UNLV not having a ship open, because what if they "make" one available by kicking a lesser player to the curb? I'll hope for the best that we get him.

Would be a great get for the '14 class...

They (UNLV) will have plenty of guards, they needed a forward and they got one in Ben Carter.

This article from today states they are now done with their recruiting class and no mention of Cornish.

That is interesting, so does Jordan and his family still go?

How good is Cornish Kamdy? I know you said he needs work on his shot. Will he contribute next year?

[OurDecay]

He's got a Big Ten-ready body.  He's grown a lot in the last year and is a pretty solid 6-6.  He's not overly explosive but I thought he had a smooth jump shot in the limited video I've seen of him.  I think he's grown 2 inches in the last year, which is part of why there are multiple height/weights listed for him on services.

He's a better overall player than Hawkins.  He has things to work on but would have time to improve.  He has the tools to be a solid player.  I dont see him being a major contributor for a couple seasons.  He would be a good 7th-8th man next year.

Thanks Kamdy. We can use someone like this, and a 7-8th man is still valuable. I'm becoming more optimistic. The whiff on Deng really hurt, but a Cornish commit would ease some of the pain!

Via a tweet from Cornish Nov 2013 - 6'6 1/4 and 208lbs with a 6'6 wingspan.  

Physically that makes him about the size of 2012-13 Shavon Shields

he reminds a lot in some of his film of Jordan McRae from Tennesee

A lesser talented version, at the same point in their lives, but I see some similarities.

What I find funny is that a year ago he was 6'4 180 and was a 4 star top 150 recruit.

 

Now he's 6'6 210 and dropped to a 3 star.

 

This would be a great kid to get this late in the game.

Man, it's like we're TRYING to get this thread over 20 pages...

[HoiBall]

Wonder when Creighton will get their visit with this guy...

[lanigan123]

He is a solid player. Hopefully he is a hard worker. Would love to see him at 6'5 185, that's guard material.

[lanigan123]

Biggest thing is Nebraska is landing solid guys to prevent the major swings year in and year out. I hope we start to land a top 50 player every few years but things are looking solid. I think 3 top 150 kids next year isn't out of the question. Hopefully Morrow has a strong summer and gets in the top 100 or so. IMHO he is much petter than Akoy skill wise and strength wise but lacks the height Akoy had.

but 6'6 210 wouldn't be a terrible 3. I could see him as a hybrid player

Be careful, you're starting to sound delusional!

so not necceassarily a poor man's Jordan McRae, but defintly not a Homeless Man's Jordan McRae (phrase my father would always use to describe players) what would the in between be of poor and homeless?

Are basing this off of the belief that he is 6'4 180 or do you want him to shrink?

The change in his ranking is interesting. According to articles dated a year ago when he committed to Tennessee, 247 Sports ranked him #128 overall and 32 at his shooting guard position, Rivals ranked him 131 overall, and ESPN ranked him 32 at his position. Those rankings appear to be gone now.

Must have known he was going to sign with Nebraska as we can't get guys that high. ;-)
