2016 PF/C Jordy Tshimanga - Signed

[49r]

I've heard that he was going to visit this weekend but is not going to now.

 

Apparently, his brother is going with him on his recruiting visits but is unable to travel right now due to a surgery that he has had recently.

 

He will visit at a later date.

 

At least, that's what I've heard.

Ok... So let me get this straight. His brother had knee surgery right?

That is breaking news that his brother had knee surgery.

Yes but now we kneed to know how the surgery went.

[HuskerCager]

Oh, brother.

[aphilso1]

Oh, brother.

 

The one with the bum knee?  I heard he's having surgery.

[AuroranHusker]

What a bummer. On the brother.

 

 

 

Knees knocking in anticipation.

I wonder if the knee injury had anything to do with a wheelbarrow.

We need this kid...and I would also like to pick up a JUCO big man as well.  Having three post players and then moving MJ and Ed to the 4 would make us extremely versatile.

Do you believe that Ed Morrow has the ball handling skills for the 4? And does MJ have enough quickness to defend a B1G 4? I like the idea but I'm not sure either will be ready for the four next year.

 

Either way we need a physical post presence to add to the mix.

Yes I believe both fit well at the four.  They do okay in the post, but I believe they fit at the four.

I would be good with Jordy, if no post players leave, if so, I'd wait to see who is available on the grad transfer market. We have 2 post players coming in and we really need another PG/big combo guard to sort of bridge the Webster/Gill/Arop time frame.

We have plenty of depth at the 4 IMO. I think when you add Roby who will play 3/4, Horne who is a 4, Jacobsen and Morrow you have a lot more depth beyond the next year. I think if you Jacobsen and Hammond at the 5, with another year, and Jordy, you have a lot of depth and bodies inside.

Of course if you dot land Jordy, then you HAVE to go for a transfer or juco kid.

I for one think PG depth next year is an issue depending on how good of a ball handler Gill is.

My only input is that I believe Roby is more of a 2/3 (think in terms of Andrew White) rather than a 3/4.  In fact, at times in HS ball, I believe Roby is even playing PG a bit.  Sort of a point forward.  Bottom line, he will provide a versatile opportunity for Coach Miles.

[PimpMario]

What are our current chances of landing jordy?

[Huskerone]

What are our current chances of landing jordy?

Probably not good if we can't get him on campus.  Only 1 more home game left.  I'm not sure we would even have a high enough seed to get a home game if we made the NIT.

 

We might have to reel him in in lieu of a game day atmosphere.  Spring game maybe?  I'm not sure.

 

Keep grinding Coach Miles, keep grinding.

[AuroranHusker]

[49r]

We have lots of hard work to do here too...only 9 pages!

[Red Rum]

Well let's roll up our sleeves...

[Silverbacked1]

If he can only come later in the year could Tim call out for a group to show up at the Vault to show him what it is like.  Just tell people that something is going on at the Vault and people would show up!

Wow. Jordy's brother really has it together in terms of the recruitment. He sounds extremely informed about what Nebraska has to offer both on and off the court. After reading Robin's article its sounds like we are in perfect position. Now he just has to say he's N. I'm not really worried about a school like Arizona after his brother's comments about how badly he wants to have an opportunity to play immediately. Now watch him go ride pine at Arizona.

[colhusker]

Boy we need this kid and as Norm has said a few times, a guard that can score.

[mwm89]

Well, that's encouraging to read that tweet from Robin. Just show Jordy the video of the game tonight and that should tell him as long as he stays healthy a starting spot is his to lose. Now let's finish the sell.

[HuskerCager]

It's interesting that one analyst projected Jordy to sign with Boston College (of all schools) this week.  I hope that this and all the buzz about the mystery big man doesn't mean we are losing out on this guy.

Since he lived in Springfield, Mass. it would make sense if his family still lives there ( home of the basketball hall of fame). I also note this "expert" who is a Duke guy is only correct 75% of the time.
