FredsSlacks Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 Looks like we have a winner! Seems to be a kid who,has his head on straight and has some talent. He looks like that type,of player who plays with a smoothness that makes him look like he isn't working very hard. He will learn quickly, but he gets to play tougher players on his AAU games which will help him the most. He's 6'8" as a HS junior. No hair on his legs or face. Probably still growing. He has the skills of a wing. Nice touch on his shot. Agility for a guy that size is ++. Some guys that size are still a little awkward/clumsy at that age (or older -- think Toney McCray.) Isaiah is fluid. He's fluid, he's smooth, he has a nice build even at his height and weight. He'll be able to add to that frame. Plus, he has the ability to put it on the floor and drive or shoot from the perimeter. He has a lot of tools and a lot of upside. And he seems to have the kind of demeanor that won't be a liability come draft day (see Petteway, Terran.) Roby will be a great replacement for Shields. possibly an upgrade if he keeps improving.

According to Miles, Gill is targeted to be the replacement for Shields. He said exactly that when he announced Gill was official. Quote

IIRC, Miles was referring to immediate scoring punch from Gill to replace Shields' production at the offensive end. Quote

Norm Peterson Posted June 16, 2015 Report Posted June 16, 2015 The baby face is being replaced by more of a chiseled jaw. The boy is becoming a man, and the man can play some mean ball. Looking forward to this kid. Silverbacked1 1 Quote

colhusker Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 49r - I am thinking you will like this kid as much as you like Shields. Quote
49r Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 49r - I am thinking you will like this kid as much as you like Shields. Nope. Norm's already claimed him. Quote
Norm Peterson Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 He'll be good enough that there'll be room enough for more than one fan to jump on his bandwagon. 49r 1 Quote
49r Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 In all seriousness however, I am extremely excited to see how he has progressed and it appears he's on track to come in and be an impact player from day 1. I'll admit I had my doubts at first but I am definitely sold on him now! Quote
TheKamdyMan Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 As the record shows I have been high on him from day one. He is Kyle Anderson IMO and that would bode well for NU. hhcmatt and Norm Peterson 2 Quote
AuroranHusker Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 A lot of hardcore Nebrasketball fans have anticipated Isaiah Roby's eventual rise to greatness. Now it's about developing an all-around game to go with his physical skills, which seems to be his trajectory to a great hoops career. And let's hope he doesn't hit his peak performance until he's wearing the Husker jersey while contributing meaningful minutes. This NU roster is starting to look #B1G-time! GBR Quote
GATA Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 As the record shows I have been high on him from day one. He is Kyle Anderson IMO and that would bode well for NU. Go ahead and sign me up for a four-year version of Kyle Anderson. colhusker and AuroranHusker 2 Quote

Go ahead and sign me up for a four-year version of Kyle Anderson. To be fair to both players, I dont think Roby will be able to get to where KA was statistically until his junior year but having 2 years, just like UCLA got from KA, of that production (on top of whatever he can provide the first 2 years) will be very valuable to the Huskers.

TheKamdyMan Posted June 22, 2015 Report Posted June 22, 2015 and this doesnt change my comparison one bit Quote
Brandon4Real_X Posted June 23, 2015 Report Posted June 23, 2015 He looked great in that video but I would have liked to see his shot some more Navin R. Johnson 1 Quote
Huskerpapa Posted June 23, 2015 Report Posted June 23, 2015 and this doesnt change my comparison one bit Looks like he has the ability to step into Shavon's role fairly seamlessly. Quote
Norm Peterson Posted June 23, 2015 Report Posted June 23, 2015 and this doesnt change my comparison one bit Yep, that video does absolutely nothing to diminish my enthusiasm for this kid. I only wish he'd get here sooner. That cross-over dribble at the :52 mark was sick. Quote
AuroranHusker Posted June 23, 2015 Report Posted June 23, 2015 Isaiah only needs to add physical maturity to his development, it seems. Will be a great prospect for Nebrasketball's future hopes & dreams. Quote
49r Posted June 23, 2015 Report Posted June 23, 2015 I like the Roby kid! colhusker and hhcmatt 2 Quote
TheKamdyMan Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 He's now #130 in the rivals 150 Silverbacked1 and 49r 2 Quote
