I'm curious if Central thinks we maybe got in on White too soon as well?  White was a top 50 recruit out of HS but was stuck behind two potential (Wiggins already) lottery picks and Self made it clear he wanted White to stay.  Good get for Miles!!

 

Hopefully up next.....Morrow and Watson!

Re: Andrew White 

Nebraska has great facilities and they were on him longer.  He may see more opportunity for playing time there, too.  Plus, they were a tournament team last year and likely will be one this year.  We need to win to attract ids like this.

 

Seems like we were saying similar things (i.e. need to win to get the top recruits' attention) not that long ago.

Well I guess that's it. We've made it. Maryland, a traditional basketball school, thinks they need to win games to keep up with the likes of Nebraska.

Was gonna post the exact same thing. It's incredible a fan of a school with that kind of pedigree has these thoughts.

Can we just sign Miles to a lifetime contract now?

Great day for Husker Hoops! To me this sends some great messages to other potential recruits out there. Yes we are a destination for top 50 talent. Yes we are a program on the rise. Yes we have great facilities and a great coach.

Thank you Tom Osborne for the great hire!

Andrew White III to Transfer to Nebraska - Huskers.com

 

White, a 6-foot-7, 220-pound guard from Richmond, Va., spent the last two seasons at Kansas, playing in 44 contests. He helped the Jayhawks to a pair of Big 12 titles in his time at the school. White chose Nebraska over Maryland, Richmond, Notre Dame, Wake Forest, Miami and Florida State. 

 

“I am really excited to add Andrew to our program. I believe he can be an impact guy for us.  He has pro potential and reminds me of Paul Pierce.” said Miles, the 2014 Big Ten Coach of the Year. “Andrew has been involved in the elite levels of high school, AAU, and college basketball and that will continue with the Huskers.

This can help Petteway and Shields develop further by having a comparable defender work against him in practice.  Good on good should make everyone better. His size and skills should fit in with what Miles likes on the basketball court.

And check out this information, courtesy of a Huskers.com, from Andrew White's high school days:

"White attended the Miller School in Charlottesville, Va., where he averaged 22.9 points and 10 rebounds per game for Coach Scott Willard as he was named the Virginia State Player of the Year in 2012. White’s senior season featured a game with 46 points, 19 rebounds and seven assists. He was ranked No. 48 by ESPNU100 and No. 51 by Rivals.com in the class of 2012 and ESPN’s No. 11 small forward in the country that season."

46 points, 19 rebounds and 7 assists . . . all in one game??!!! 22.9 points and 10 rebounds per game on the average??!!! Scheesh . . . that's not too bad.
