Concrete Posted March 24, 2013 Report Posted March 24, 2013 Thomas reminds me of a more talented version of Quincy Hankins-Cole, whereas I can't really find a comparison to Sai because we haven't had an athletic and dynamic post like him in over a decade. I also think Sai's potential is much higher, and we get to develop him for 3 years
hhcmatt Posted March 24, 2013 Report Posted March 24, 2013 If his in-home with Miles and Harriman isn't until Monday, I'm not sure this tweet a good sign. Who did he see yesterday? I hope he picks us but I wouldn't put the chances any higher because of this. You can take the tweet two ways... You can take it as a "these guys really impressed me... I think I am going to go with them." OR "Wow these guys did not impress me much on this in home visit... Nebraska is probably the front runner for this one, and if they impress on the in home, they are in." Thing about social media, is you can get a wrong vibe just from the words and not any expressions to go with it. And, btw, the tweet was, in fact, as Hooper mentioned, about a shoe purchase. FWIW you guys would make excellent teenage girls doc1394 1
Swan88 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Posted March 24, 2013 Here's a better question: Tumalla or Thomas? Looks like we may have an answer to our question of why the Huskers cooled off on Thomas and said we were going a different direction. From what I've seen, frankly, I'd take Tumalla. Tumallatewe. Finish off this class with a two-headed monster. Here is a description of Thomas from his JUCO coach, Butch Estes, provided to Rivals back in early February: "Butch Estes . . . said Thomas would bring a little bit of everything to his next school. 'I think he's the ultimate role player,' Estes said. 'He's not a go-to guy. He's more of a complimentary, do all the little things it takes to win. So if someone were coming in here saying, "OK, we need a wing that can really light the scoreboard up," that's probably not Kevin. He rebounds, he passes, he scores, but he doesn't look to score. He's very unselfish, would rather defer to other people type of a player.'" Perhaps this description provides a hint of why Tim Miles & Co. decided to focus on Tummala.

Id really like it, if all 5 schollie's were used.
49r Posted March 24, 2013 Report Posted March 24, 2013 Well, we better hurry and get to 35 pages, then. This baby's closin' fast. Or so it seems. I think we're gonna make it, Norm.
Nebrasketballer Posted March 24, 2013 Report Posted March 24, 2013 Hey could someone please post 1 or 2 of Atewe's most impressive videos if they know where to find them?
Norm Peterson Posted March 25, 2013 Report Posted March 25, 2013 Well, uh, he has videos for sure. Impressive ones? Depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for a good sized big man with exceptional athleticism, then you'll be impressed with any of his videos. If you're looking for a guy with polish, then you won't. I think it's pretty much that simple.

I think it's pretty much that simple. Cool. I was just curious, because I cant really find many. I think I've only seen one or two of them and there wasn't really much on those, so I didn't know if someone knew where the best place to find them was. I just tried to google. I haven't really been able to find much of Webster either. I thought maybe I wasn't looking in the right place.
Norm Peterson Posted March 25, 2013 Report Posted March 25, 2013 I'm sure there are some posted in the early parts of this thread. The ones I've watched include full game videos of his prep school from this season. If I have a chance and you haven't already seen them, I'll post. But it's unfiltered stuff. Shows the good and the bad. Keep that in mind as you watch.
Swan88 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Posted March 25, 2013 Here is a highlight video of multiple players. Matthew Atewe is the first player featured in the video. Norm Peterson 1

ajb5856 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Posted March 25, 2013 @MatthewAtewe41: @RobinWashut @tjawtherula what u mean?.. It's a foregone conclusion that Atewe is 'N' as you can be at this point, right?
Silverbacked1 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Posted March 25, 2013 What will the first question be from Matthew to Coach Miles tonight at the in home? 1)"What's with the tweets?" 2) or "How was your flight?"
Norm Peterson Posted March 25, 2013 Report Posted March 25, 2013 I think we can safely say that Matthew does NOT read HHC and have an account that allows him to read the recruiting board.
TheKamdyMan Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Posted March 25, 2013 I think we can safely say that Matthew does NOT read HHC and have an account that allows him to read the recruiting board. LOL he might be scared a bunch of guys have compiled 35 pages on him.
ajb5856 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Posted March 25, 2013 Decision on the 30th? Are we sticking to that or are we gonna get an Instagram for twitter pic of Miles and Atewe tonight straight from the tweet deck with the caption 'Me and my new coach! Happy to be N!'?
Silverbacked1 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Posted March 25, 2013 I would have to crack a beer for that news!!! :) :) Decision on the 30th?

This was in reference to a Robin tweet about the rumor that Tai may not end up at Nebraska which, Washut said he WILL be here.

This was in reference to a Robin tweet about the rumor that Tai may not end up at Nebraska which, Washut said he WILL be here. that tweet came AFTER Robin said that though so its more like Atewe hadnt heard it and the tweet by robin concerned him possibly and wanted more info.

This was in reference to a Robin tweet about the rumor that Tai may not end up at Nebraska which, Washut said he WILL be here. I know what it is in reference to. That's why I assumed it meant that Atewe is 'N' after he tweeted his question since he's obviously very intrigued by the situation. You know, Tai Webster and Atewe have done quite a bit of messaging back and forth lately.
Nebrasketballer Posted March 25, 2013 Report Posted March 25, 2013 Tai Jack Webster@Tjawtherula @MatthewAtewe41 @robinwashut of course I am! Only thing holding me back is this SAT hahaha! tweeted about 15 minutes ago
Nebrasketballer Posted March 25, 2013 Report Posted March 25, 2013 Matthew Atewe@MatthewAtewe413m @Tjawtherula hahaha you gotta get that done fam!!
ajb5856 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Posted March 25, 2013 Tai Jack Webster@Tjawtherula @MatthewAtewe41 @robinwashut of course I am! Only thing holding me back is this SAT hahaha! tweeted about 15 minutes ago So what have we learned so far today? Webster is coming, he just needs to get test scores up or maybe taken in the first place. Atewe is conversing with Webster, Miles is in house with Atewe tonight and a commitment from him is looming.
