No oversea trip...

[Huskerpapa]

...this year.  Likely a bummer for some, but logically when you view the comments from Coach Miles.  Other tidbits in this article as well.  For example:

 

All of Nebraska’s 11 scholarship players were in Lincoln on Monday and ready to begin the first full session of summer school.

 

That included three newcomers: senior center Moses Ayegba, a transfer from Georgetown; freshman guard Tarin Smith from Ocean City, New Jersey; and freshman forward-center Jacob Hammond from Comanche, Oklahoma.

 

Here is the article from the Lee Barfnecht and the OWH

I thought Hammond was from Duncan,OK?

Gotta love this Tim Miles comedy from the article:

“When we do team-group work, we’ll work on specialty things, like whether there are new things on the screen-and-roll or post defense. Maybe we’ll try a tricky thing on offense, like throwing it inside on occasion so we aren’t surprised to try it during the season.’’

It never made sense to me that they would do an overseas trip with an experienced team.  This sounds like a better plan.

I noticed Jake Hammond played in an OK-TX all star game last week, but I never could find a box score for the game.  He got passing mention in the articles I found, so it doesn't sound like he must have had a sparkling stat line.

I got a good laugh out of that.

We knew there wasn't going to be a trip a while ago, though, didn't we?

Comanche is to Duncan as Inglewood is to Fremont.

Huh, who knew Fremont, NE, had such a prominent community next door?!

Didn't locate the box score, but ran across this snipet.  Perhaps it is the same information you already have at your disposal.

 

In a game filled with players committed to some of the best basketball schools in the county, assistant coach Aaron Weast, athletic director at Comanche, said Hammond, who is committed to Nebraska, held his own around the rim. When the six-foot 10-inch center fouled out late in the fourth quarter, it was a big blow for the Oklahoma team, which ended up losing 116-112 in overtime.

“Texas had two bigs that could leap out of the gym, and we needed Jacob in the last few minutes,” Weast said. “He held his own and did a good job.”

Yes we've known for awhile but it just wasn't officially in print anywhere. I think it might've been in a radio interview awhile back where it was mentioned that the trip was scrapped.
