Matthew Atewe -> Auburn -> Washington

[Cookie Belcher]

lol he didn't even tag Atewe in that post so I take it as a good sign that Matthew even read that tweet.  Means Atewe is going out of his way to read up on Nebraska basketball.

[uneblinstu]

Or the he follows BR or someone RT'd it and tagged him in it.

[TheKamdyMan]

He's talking back and forth with his "fam" Nate Hawkins tonight after his fam tai yesterday.

I wouldn't read that conversation with Hawkins if you have college age daughters...

[Silverbacked1]

Okay I went creeping on Matthews tweeter page. 

 

He only talks to close friends and the 3 that have signed with us.

 

Seems promising.

@RobinWashut: #Nebrasketball target Matthew Atewe talks about his in-home visit with Tim Miles and Chris Harriman on Mon. night ($) http://t.co/vh9czDSNRY

[ajb5856]

Robin's write up is just one of his updates at this point and not a full article. Atewe says the visit was very good and also added that Husker fans should already know what his interest level is. Atewe said that Miles and Harriman were very honest with him and he was very "intrigued" by that. Interesting...

[Nebrasketballer]

Yeah, he had multiple tweets between himself and Nathan Hawkins and then tweeted about Tai, which I assume is Webster:

Here is a message board thread from an Auburn site: http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=6&f=2775&t=11409770&p=1

The thread ultimately goes off on a bunny trail, but it provides some interesting Nebraska and Atewe comments and discussion nonetheless.

I think the one gentleman needs to talk to somebody about his time over seas. 

 

He is carrying around a lot of anger.

 

Not judging just hoping he can find peace, and I want to thank him for his service.

[ajb5856]

What to believe...what to believe

@joshharveyscout: Despite a lot of rumors stating otherwise, Matthew Atewe has told me that it's still a four-team race for his services. #Nebrasketball

Why can't he just make the freaking announcement already?!

Not sure that was anger--more like perspective. 

[ajb5856]

So MA tells Brian Rosenthal that he's down to two, Auburn and Nebraska. Then he tells Josh Harvey that he's still with the 4 schools. Normally when a recruit cuts down his list its all over twitter with multiple recruiting people reporting it. Maybe it's just because it was just Rosenthal that he spoke with and not one of the Rivals/Scout guys. I still think MA is 'N' and he's trying to keep his secret until the 30th.

True but I still think he needs to talk to somebody.

[Hooper]

I think he's just trying to be respectful to those two coaching staffs. I don't believe either Nevada or Charlotte is getting a final in-home visit. This should all be over Saturday.

[FredsSlacks]

I think it's fair to say we have at least an 80% chance of getting Atewe. I would be very surprised if he went somewhere else.

[TheKamdyMan]

Fwiw robin also said he was told he's down to two.

Josh Harvey of the Big Red Report has the following:

[PimpMario]

Do we think he would start as our biggest player?

We all stand corrected.

Interesting stuff here. Washut and Rosenthal wouldn't have reported that MA was down to just Nebraska and Auburn if he didnt say it to them last night. Now it seems like MA is backtracking on this. Maybe because he likes all the coaches and wants to be fair to all of them?

[FredsSlacks]

He won't start next year. He will likely only be used in situations where the opposing team has a dominant big man or a big front line. He'll average 15 minutes a game at most in my opinion. Miles has shown he is not going to play a big man if he is not ready. (vooch)

[Silverbacked1]

I was looking at this, we will easily go over 40 pages on this thread.

 

We have at least 5 more pages after he says yes/no.

Nah, if he commits we'll just start talking about him on the basketball page.

By GOD I'll make sure it goes over 40 myself if I have to!!!
