2014-15 New Husker Measurements

[hhcmatt]

Huskers.com has heights/weights up for incoming players.  It doesn't appear that they've updated stats for last year's players yet.

Is this the right forum to ask about and incoming freshman walkon? I saw BJ Day listed above and watched some HUDL of two games on him. A little surprised we're taking him.

He is not on scholarship is he?  If not what is the big deal?

Regardless of being a walkon you still want guys who are athletic enough to either have a legitimate shot at seeing some PT down the road or at the very least athletic enough to provide decent competition in practice. Watch his HUDL film and then tell me your impression of him.

I guess I do not have to watch video of him as I watched him live pretty often.  He can help as a practice player.  He can bang and he has other attributes that can be benefical.  He is not a scollie player...sooo.

An extremely small amount of walk on players earn minutes outside of garbage time in college basketball. As long as they are healthy bodies that can provide some defense I'm all for it.

I had heard that we had Logan Power from Lincoln Christian lined up to walk on as well but coach Smith took him with him to South Dakota.

Haven't watched the videos.  We're talking about a Nebraska native who is the son of a former player and he's 6'5" As long as he has any sort of work ethic and the right attitude it's a no-brainer to have him on this squad.  Anything beyond that is bonus.

Welcome BJ. Dad was a great player and he will fit in nicely.

BJ Day 6'5 240lbs? Is he playing center?

I hope Miles has this program (and I do believe he does) to the point that as was mentioned above, the kids will get minutes in blow out wins and loses and provide a body at practice that makes the top 9 or 10 guys better.

Here is an article from Mississippi that says an Eddie Taylor will be trying to walk on at NU.

I am not sure whether this is just his wish or whether it is arranged with the staff...Anybody know?

 

What little I found on his stats was not world beater stuff, but who knows?

Any 6'8" tough walkons out there?
