bleujay 71 Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 That's a pretty fearsome physical profile. I would imagine he plays as much as his conditioning reasonably allows next season. 20-25 mpg? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uneblinstu 2,533 Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 That's a pretty fearsome physical profile. I would imagine he plays as much as his conditioning reasonably allows next season. 20-25 mpg? Not worried about his conditioning as much as his ability to adapt to the college game. I'd expect more in the 12-15 range to start and hope he grows into a bigger role as the season progresses. jdostal 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Huskerpapa 4,791 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 If we do not get a minimum of 20 minutes of game out of Jordy, I will be disappointed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

khoock 1,464 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 If that is his true weight and wing span he should be a defensive force from day one. Which is what we need the most from him at this point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AuroranHusker 5,342 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 A rim protector would become an effective defensive stalwart for Nebrasketball, and NU should be in great shape to take the next step. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

huskerbaseball13 1,201 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 That's a pretty fearsome physical profile. I would imagine he plays as much as his conditioning reasonably allows next season. 20-25 mpg?   I would say that's pushing it by quite a bit...probably 15 MPG tops. Like most freshman post players Jordy is still very raw. He will help in that he has great size, but my guess is it will take some time to develop his offensive game and defensive abilities within our system. Unless you are a one and done type player...you just don't see true freshman centers putting up great stats right away. But, I think he can impact the game in other ways. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say about a 1% chance he averages 20+ minutes per game   You don't have to be disappointed, it doesn't mean I can't be. Would you have imagined Michael Jacobson averaging the minutes he did last year? Or perhaps, the minutes Tai averaged his freshman year?  This young man is coming into the program with a mental and physical maturity. He plays a position where we lack depth. He comes into a program in need of someone to protect the paint/rim. Yes, I have high expectations. If he plays 10 to 12 minutes a half and Michael splits his time between the post and power forward positions, it will likely meet my expectations. trickey 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LK1 1,677 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Yeah.. if Jacobson logged close to 20min a game, I think it can be fully expected for Jordy to do the same. Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AuroranHusker 5,342 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 BTW, Michael Jacobson averaged 21.5 minutes per game in Big Ten play, which was the 6th highest average on the team. Â And, FWIW, Glynn Watson averaged 25.7 mpg in the B1G, which was the 4th highest for Nebrasketball. MitchMcGaryMunchies 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Averaging 20+ as a freshman post player who still has a raw game?  It would be extraordinary even though we have no other centers. . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
