Tai Wynyard

[lanigan123]

Plays for the tall blacks, is from New Zeland. He is a big. This article says john calipari may visit him. Appears to be a 2016 kid. Haven't heard anything about him yet in regards to the Huskers. Anyone know of anything?

I don't know whether to make the "we could corner the market on dudes named Tai in college basketball" or a "Wynyrd Skynyrd" joke here.

Was in the news in NZ today that he is being recruited by Kentucky, Wake Forrest, Texas and Utah aswell as many others. Hawaii, St Marys and Pitt have all watched him in Auckland. Nebraska may be in on him but were not among the named teams

 

Is a big strong kid that is actually pretty skilful. Not the most athletic player but can set great screens, pass out of the post and finish around the rim. I think he has a good chance to be the real deal and is following a similar path to Webster in his lead up to college.

 

He might be the first player from NZ to ever get the attention of big time schools like Kentucky. Mostly even the top NZ players go to mid-major or the lower big conference schools.

thanks Cell, always good to hear from you.

Has Nebraska shown an interest?

Hmmm with all Harriman's connection to the area I wonder if there is a reason we weren't mentioned.

Will name first born Tai, or Taiana, if either Tai plays a part in a sweet 16.

Committed to Kentucky today. ESPN story originally had a picture of Tai Webster instead of Wynyard.
