Thinking ahead

[Norm Peterson]

Probable 2015-2016 roster:

 

Seniors:

 

PG  5'9"  Benny Parker

SF   6'7"  Shavon Shields

PF  6'10"  Walter Pitchford

(PF  6'8"  Leslee Smith?)

 

Juniors:

 

PG/SG  6'4"  Tai Webster

SG/SF  6'7"  Andrew White

 

Sophomores:

 

PG  6'2"  Tarin Smith

SF/PF  6'7"  Nick Fuller

C  6'10" Jacob Hammond

 

Freshmen:

 

PG  6'0"  Glynn Watson

SF/PF  6'7" Michael Jacobson

(PF  6'7"  Ed Morrow?)

 

If Terran goes pro but we get another year of Leslee Smith, which is entirely possible if not likely on both accounts, we'd have room for 1 more recruit in the 2015 class in addition to Morrow, whom I'm just going to go ahead and pencil in, because, y'know, he was born a Husker, right?  Anyway.  In addition to a big man, seems like we need another long shooting guard in the Petteway mold.  Either/or?

 

Edited:  Forgot Jacobson

[aphilso1]

No Michael Jacobson in the frosh class?

(PF  6'7"  Ed Morrow?)

 

If Terran goes pro but we get another year of Leslee Smith, which is entirely possible if not likely on both accounts, we'd have room for 2 more recruits in the 2015 class in addition to Morrow, whom I'm just going to go ahead and pencil in, because, y'know, he was born a Husker, right?  Anyway.  In addition to a big man, seems like we need another long shooting guard in the Petteway mold.

 

I think you are forgetting Jacobsen which would leave us with 1 schollie assuming Petteway goes pro and Leslee gets another year.

Ha! Beat you to it.

Would Keanu Pinder be on scholarship if he still comes to Nebraska after Junior College?

Would Keanu Pinder be on scholarship if he still comes to Nebraska after Junior College?

 

Thats the only way he'd come here.

[KarlHessEatMy....]

He would be 2016-2017 though wouldn't he? I think I am year to soon on him

[AuroranHusker]

I'd say another wing and a big man would be in order for the 2015 recruiting cycle...

[49r]

I'm not giving up on TP being back for his senior season.

[TheKamdyMan]

I think Leslee only comes back if they cannot find another guy they like better for the spot by next spring/summer.

[Norm Peterson]

No Michael Jacobson in the frosh class?

Oh shoot.  Yep, better add him.

[Norm Peterson]

Anyway, even AFTER Petteway (who I assume goes pro after this year), that's going to produce a pretty decent lineup next year.

 

Maybe starters and key reserves looking something like:

 

PG Tai Webster/Tarin Smith/Glynn Watson

SG Andrew White/Tai Webster/Tarin Smith

SF Shavon Shields/Nick Fuller/Andrew White

PF Walter Pitchford/Ed Morrow/Shavon Shields/Nick Fuller

C  Jacob Hammond/Walter Pitchford

 

That would be a 9-man rotation. Including 4 players who, at one time or another, were among the Rivals top 150 in their respective classes.  Hmmmm.  Life after Petteway.

 

Edited:  I forgot Jacobson again.  He's probably a 4; maybe a 3.

[TheKamdyMan]

can someone screen shot this one so we can bag on Norm for forgetting Jacobson if he blows up like TP did and bring it up and say remember when you forgot him twice......

[AuroranHusker]

Normy, if you gonna keep forgetting Michael Jacobson, you might just doom us w/ TP not being back at all in 2015! I'm w/ 9er, I say Petteway has a decent shot at returning for his SR yr to get Nebrasketball past the Elite 8!

Yeah but Kidney ain't gonna like it!

[a0t0w0]

Don't mean to pee in cheerios, but...

 

We fall off HARD in 2016 when Tim accepts the job as POTUS, honorary speaker at every Ivy league school, volunteering 40+ per week, building model planes, coaching NU, etc.

 

Not to mention atleast 3 hours a week tweeting and adjusting glasses.

[jimmykc]

The glasses are a necessity when he is in his Clark Kent mode.

[hhcmatt]

He also doesn't come back next year if he comes back this year

Silverbacked, what's the deal?!? -1 for what.... said, like "Turned Down for What"
