AuroranHusker Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 6'-8" wing guard from Down Under. Yep, got it!! Quote
Timforthewin Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 I think Akoy's decision will tell us a lot about Miles' knowledge of Terran's future (Europe or NBA) or a different schollie leaving the team 49r 1 Quote
Minnesota_Husker Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 So if we add Agau who is your most likely: going to leave guy. My guess is either Tai Webster or Nick Fuller. Unless is there a possibility one of them is a walkon? doubt it. EDIT: by walkon, i meant a guy giving up his schollie to be a walkon. Quote
AuroranHusker Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 OK, so does someone leave after this year? only if Agau jumps on board. Agau can take the scholarship now. B1G rules allow for oversigning so we can still sign McVeigh but someone would have to leave at that point if we got both. One wonders what Tai might be thinking... ??? Quote
The Coach Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 If Terran goes pro, that would open up a scholarship. I have my doubts about McVeigh. Maybe it's because Tai was overhyped. Remember Aleks was from Australia and he turned out pretty well. I'm just not sure we need another wing right now. Quote

Remember Aleks was from Australia and he turned out pretty well. I'm just not sure we need another wing right now. There has been some good Aussie talent in the states. And reading up on McVeigh he knows how to put the ball in the hoop. If Terran goes pro it's to go overseas. I don't see him getting drafted at this point. Quote

Remember Aleks was from Australia and he turned out pretty well. I'm just not sure we need another wing right now. not sold on oceanian kids yet. hope he proves me wrong Just because one single guy in Fran Frischilla pumped him doesnt mean every other player sucks down under. Tai was rated a 3 star on two sites and no ranking on Rivals. we've had multiple 3 star flames like Josiah Moore, Corey Hilliard, Nate Hawkins etc. He's much better than Tai was at this point in his career. He will be a solid player. Like I noted months ago I feel he will be a Sam Dekker lite. Quote
49r Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 YES! HE RECOGNIZED THE EVILS OF THE KUDZU! Chalk one up for the good guys! Silverbacked1 and Norm Peterson 2 Quote
FredsSlacks Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 Petteway has actually been worse than last year overall, so I would be surprised if he left early. He is a late 2nd round pick at best right now. I think it is more likely that Tai leaves than Petteway. Fuller could leave depending how much playing time he gets the rest of the year. Hammond might be a darkhorse to leave, but probably not. Quote

Concrete Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 I don't know why people think we don't need help on the wing, we need shooters almost as badly as bigs. If McVeigh is half the shooter people say he is, he will be a great addition next season. Buglem 1 Quote
Norm Peterson Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 We have Andrew White III coming in to shoot lights out for us next year. WE NEED A BIG. I'm OK taking this kid. He might benefit from a redshirt year where he can get used to the American style of ball. BUT WE NEED A BIG. AND A BIGGER BIG THAN AKOY AGAU. Think about it. What are we missing right now on this team? If you answered shooters and a low-post presence, you answered right. AWIII be that shooter. Who is the low post presence? Because the two guys sitting out injured are both seniors. So, they won't be here next year either. If there is another spot to open up, please oh please bring in a big big. And not Andre Almeida big but, y'know, a big who can actually play. Quote
doc1394 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 I think it is pretty telling how most of the replies here are about no room for Agau now instead of celebrating McVeigh. Miles has seemingly missed on Webster, Vucetic, and Pinder is a long ways away from coming here still, so I hope he hit on this International recruit. Quote
Norm Peterson Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 By the way, I'm OK with this signing. Don't think that I'm not. We need shooters, too, and this kid seems clearly to fill that void. BUT WE NEED A BIG IN THE WORST WAY. Quote

Miles has seemingly missed on Webster, Vucetic, and Pinder is a long ways away from coming here still, so I hope he hit on this International recruit. Well, that might be because we don't know a lot about him. I saw his video and I'm satisfied that the kid can shoot. Don't know whether he's good enough otherwise to see the floor, but I'll assume the coaches are comfortable with what he has the ability to do. Still, we, the average fans, don't know much about him. So, yeah, probably not a lot of talk about him. Quote
Silverbacked1 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 I hate how we always start to kick kids to the curb if the next best thing comes along. I know it is a message board and we need something to talk about, but I think we(some) were always fast and trying to get David and Benny out of here. Things will play out as the year goes so we will be fine. Just my pet peeve of this site, and only pet peeve of this site. doc1394 1 Quote

49r Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 Remember how when Doc was here he was just looking for ONE athletic wing and he could never get one? Interesting how times change, eh? Quote
Concrete Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 I don't think Pitchford/Hammond/Morrow/Jacobson/Fuller is a HORRIBLE front court group. Ideal? Not even close, but it's certainly better than what we've seen this year. Quote
Norm Peterson Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 Here's another vid of the kid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTR0A20uCKo Quote
49r Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 Also, if anyone is looking to kill a little time, I would recommend going back to the first page of this thread and read the first dozen or so comments. It might help brighten your spirits some. AuroranHusker 1 Quote
Huskerpapa Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 Nicely done staff! http://nebraska.247sports.com/Bolt/McVeigh-commits-to-Nebraska-34506142?utm_source=247Sports+Newsletter&utm_campaign=30ec2fc8a3-150106_Nebraska+Cornhuskers&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5300ae947-30ec2fc8a3-222682225 Quote
FredsSlacks Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 This seems like a low risk high reward pickup. worst case scenario he's a 6'8 guy who can shoot. if we can add agau or another defensive big, we should be loaded for next year AuroranHusker 1 Quote

He will be a solid player. Like I noted months ago I feel he will be a Sam Dekker lite. Also, keep in mind the level of play in Australia is substantially better than New Zealand. Does anyone remember the video I posted a couple of years ago of Tai playing in the New Zealand HS NATIONAL championship game? Looked like a solid Class B team from Nebraska could go down and win the NZ National Title. Tai was the best HS kid in NZ his senior year. This kid is the best Australian kid this year. I'm not hoping to kick Tai to the curb and I'm not hoping he leaves or that this kid replaces him. This kid has committed here now and I want him to be good. And if you think Tai is not good enough, I don't think Tai's example is a reason to think this kid won't be. Quote
