Red Don Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 Not trying to be a 'fly in the ointment' here but please allow me to play 'Devil's Advocate' for a moment. It would seem to me that if any recruit doubts their ability to compete for playing time, maybe they are not the right fit for us. If anything, our recent successes (not just the palpable improvement over the last 4 games, but the incoming talent scheduled next year) should enhance the reputation of Nebraska as a desirable place to come if you want to play high-level basketball in any recruits eyes. We do have the minutes to give, and it IS a Great Place to play Basketball (just ask Frank Kaminsky). Quote
Norm Peterson Posted January 22, 2016 Report Posted January 22, 2016 Still, the opportunity for immediate playing time is a drawing card and we should play it to the hilt. No one wants to go ride the pine somewhere for four years. Quote
ShortDust Posted January 22, 2016 Report Posted January 22, 2016 I think if miles had a "big" he would play morrow abs Jacobson at the 4 more. He would be able to play 2 "bigs" at one time and be able to play match ups better, hence aw3 vs msu. It'd give him so many more options to have a "big" and replace it with someone who can't crack rotation. Vacant ship would work as well. AuroranHusker 1 Quote

colhusker Posted January 22, 2016 Report Posted January 22, 2016 Wow. He's up to 6'11" and 270#. Not all that long ago, he was listed at 6'9" and 230#. Growth spurt?!? No hair on his legs Silverbacked1 1 Quote

I see Gill replacing Benny and McVeigh replacing Shields in he starting lineup. Obviously minute distribution would vary I just see it playing out that way to start. Quote

I see Gill replacing Benny and McVeigh replacing Shields in he starting lineup. Obviously minute distribution would vary I just see it playing out that way to start. I agree on Gill. The argument that had been made earlier, though, was that Jordy might look at our lineup and think we're basically set at the 5 with Jacobson there. I don't think that's true at all. Jacobson and Morrow are playing the 5 by default and are more naturally 4s. If we had a legit 5 on the roster next year, Jacobson would probably battle Morrow, McVeigh and maybe Horne and Roby for time at the 4. But none of those guys are 5s. The roster is wide-open for playing time for a legit 5 to come in here and take it. That was my point. Quote
TheKamdyMan Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 Hopefully, too late. Only scary thing is one of their assistants has a huge connection to the prep schools in Massachusetts which is how they landed Kaleb tarczewski. Hopefully our connection via Kenya is a better one. Quote

ShortDust Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 It'll be interesting to see how this plays out... Quote
Norm Peterson Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 It'll be interesting to see how this plays out... Yeah. Do he and his brother truly not care about how big of a name a school has? Just want on opportunity to contribute early? If so, then count AZ out. Because whatever they lack today, it'll be different next month or next summer or next fall. Jordy should be just as concerned about what a program like Arizona might recruit after him as he would be concerned about who's already on their roster when he's considering if it's a place he'll be able to contribute at early in his career. Just ask Akoy Agau about the ability of places like Arizona and Louisville to recruit for your spot in the recruiting cycle AFTER you commit there. Quote

Fullbacksympathy Posted January 26, 2016 Report Posted January 26, 2016 I think it would be a bad sign if no good programs wanted Jordy. To me that says Miles has a standard he's trying to meet with his recruits. I have no problem with that. The big we get should match the quality of the 1-4 depth we're going to have. Get it in there and fight like you've been doing since day one, TM! Silverbacked1 1 Quote

Just ask Akoy Agau about the ability of places like Arizona and Louisville to recruit for your spot in the recruiting cycle AFTER you commit there. Looking at AZ roster, they need depth at the big man position after this year, as most of their minutes at the C spot graduate. They have a freshman and sophmore who don't log a lot of minutes right now. Hopefully Miles can sell him on UNL as being the right fit for him. Quote
Swan88 Posted January 26, 2016 Report Posted January 26, 2016 Arizona has a four star big (6'10", 210 lb.) signed for 2016. They signed a four-star center (6'10", 195 lb.) in 2015. Dusan Ristic (7', 255 lb.) will be a Junior center next year. Quote

Dusan Ristic (7', 255 lb.) will be a Junior center next year. If we lose Jordy to AZ, can we at least have one of those guys in return? We were actually Ristic's backup plan. He had an offer to Arizona that was dependent on them having room for him, and he said Nebraska was the only other school he was considering. You almost had your wish 2 years ago! Quote
jayschool Posted January 27, 2016 Report Posted January 27, 2016 The Pac-12 is a trash conference, Jordy. C'mon. Play with the big boys. Quote
Swan88 Posted January 27, 2016 Report Posted January 27, 2016 Slightly off-topic: remember Elbert Robinson III? He visited here before Shaq convinced him to sign with LSU? Well, Elbert's not getting a lot of playing time there. As to Jordy, Pitt may be the real competition here. Pitt offers some opportunity for a big, with one exception: they will have a 6'11", 300 lb., center next year coming off a redshirt year--he'll be a junior, after playing his first two years at a Juco.
