2016 PF/C Jordy Tshimanga - Signed

[mwm89]

Norm I think it makes 30 before he decides and or signs.

And that's probably a conservative guess at this rate.

If we don't offer Link, I have a bad feeling about Jordy. If they are close siblings, it'd be hard to not want to play together. With our need for bigs, I'm very confused as to why we haven't.

Because he's not a high D1 prospect. At all. I understand it may be necessary in order to get Jordy, but the reason we haven't to this point is we aren't wasting a scholarship on a position that can be equally filled by a walk on.

Pretty sure he'd be an upgrade over Kurkowski or Borchardt, so I'm gonna have to politely disagree.

Miles probably plans on filling out the scholarships this year. That's the plan anyway. Whether he does is besides the point. All I'm saying is the reason we haven't offered Link as of yet is that he isn't a Big 10 caliber prospect. That's why we didn't offer him the first time around. And he may be a slight upgrade over a kurkowski or a borchardt but that alone doesn't make him scholarship worthy. Riding the bench is riding the bench. a practice player is a practice player. Now I'd rather have Jordy so if Link is a requirement to get Jordy then fine but offering now is a waste of a potential scholarship.

I see your point, I just guess my biggest worry is not getting Jordy and getting two random guys late that are projects at best. At least Link was a Big 12 scholarship guy. But hopefully Miles has things figured out, playing it close to the vest.

One can hope so.

to add some more suspense... scout.com just updated his ranking to 4 stars.

If he continues to drag this out he may end up with 5 stars.

I feel like he may be stalling on his decision in order to see if any other late suitors of a, shall we say, "higher pedigree" come calling.

There must be more going on behind the scenes than we know. It reminds me of Chukwu last season. As it turns out, Burno was offering to pay Chukwu and when TM found out about Burno's bad recruiting habits he asked Burno to move on. Chukwu then found his payday at Syracuse. Connecting a few dots here, but not many.

Just wondering here.  Word on the street, at least on the street where I live ,  is that IF Jordy does not come to NE White is definitely gone BUT, the kicker is, IF White goes, Webster will also go back to NZ to play professionally.  Something to keep an eye on because this could be a very interesting problem for Timmy boy (I say affectionately of course cause Jim Bob just didn't seem to fit).

IS the street you are on full of falling skies and drugs?

 

White isnt going to not come back just because we cant recruit a big man.

 

Tai isnt going anywhere either.

Nope, no sky is falling scenario at all.  This is REALLY what I am hearing and have heard it from more that one place, and not casual conversation I might add.

It might affect White's decision because I'm sure he doesn't want to play a lot at the 4 next year.

I don't think he would have to with Jacobson, Morrow, McVeigh, Roby, Horne, and Fuller all capable of playing the four

This, he would be a 2 or 3

I don't understand the Tai rumors, NZ will always be there for him, that's not going anywhere. With another good season Tai can parlay this into a good European career, secondly when he signed here , I believe his father placed the upmost importance of education so I can't see why or how they would let him make that decision

Hence why i think that post is poppycock.

 

I could be wrong because i dont have any "sources" but just dont think it makes sense.

[swoof]

Predictions on how long this thread gets before he commits somewhere? 40 pages?

Let's hope Tshimanga attends NU so we don't have to find out.

Poppycock....mmmmm

[AuroranHusker]

Poppycock, Tennessee. Those Volunteer rascals even have a song that some think is Rocky Top. It's really Poppycock.

Gopher Reggie Lynch arrested today for sexual assault. So that will likely open a scholarship for Minnesota and they will be needing a Center.
