2016 F Isaiah Roby - Signed

[hhcmatt]

Anyone see the resemblance of Roby's size and game to Jared Uthoff?

 

 If he can hit the 3 and only eats 1 day a week he'll be a spitting image

The first of many post-season honors...

If you were to compare 3A basketball in Illinois to Nebraska what would it be?

[hskr4life]

C1 ish

[Huskerpapa]

This is the class size qualifications for Illinois

Boys Basketball  

 

 

1A: up to 275.00, 

2A: 275.01 to 551.00, 

3A: 551.01 to 1378.00, 

4A: 1378.01 and over

 

For comparison sake.  In Nebraska, Lincoln Pius is always dancing between Class A and Class B.  They have approximately 850 students.  Omaha Central is one of our larger Class A schools has approximately 1900 students. 

 

So 3A in Illinois is akin to a high Class B to medium Class A school in Nebraska.  A school in Nebraska with approximately 1350 students is Lincoln Southwest; so in Illinois, Southwest would likely be 3A.

C1 ish

So High C1 and low B

C1 ish

So High C1 and low B

 

No the numbers say high B middle A

I alway think this is stupid when we do the size comparisons for the classes between states. It doesn't really make any sense. We all know the level of competition here in Nebraska high school hoops. Obviously, even if he did play in a C1 comparative class by size in Illinois, that doesn't compute to a Nebraska C1 level of play/competition.

Southwest has very close to 1,800 students and North Star has over 2,000. Every LPS school would be a 4A school in Illinois but I doubt the talent is comparable.

I'd like to meet that .01 student!

This made me have a big old smile on my face!

[jason2486]

This kid could be a FREAK for us!

[busticket]

I honestly see a lot of similarities with Roby and Porter's game (Rivals #2 in 2017 class). I think we got a heck of a steal here.

[MandRHusker]

I'll repeat again that I have been told by people within the program they think he'll be a starter next season.

[busticket]

If he could slot into Shavon's spot I'd be thrilled.

[Norm Peterson]

At risk of getting this thread > 20 pages, I'd just add he's proving among all-stars that he's the talented kid we thought he was.  Excited to see him in a Husker uniform.  Long dang off-season.

Here are more highlights of Roby.

And to top it off, he is fast:

 

Dixon 94, Mendota 50:

Isaiah Roby made his season debut after a foot injury and helped set a senior class record in the 800 relay during a dual win at Mendota.

The all-senior quartet of Roby, Nate Gascoigne, Benny Mayes and Kyle LeBlanc finished in 1:39.25, and represented one of 12 meet wins for the Dukes. Gascoigne also ran the second leg on the winning 1,600 relay team (3:39.55), joining Josh Dallas, Bryson Forrest and Jared Harrison.
