nebrasketball10 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 I'm guessing that all this guessing is a waste of time. His tweeting "games" are almost as bad as Agau's. But I'll play the game... if it "changes everything" and Nebraska was his favorite, that doesn't bode well for us. If Nebraska was his favorite and he was waiting to qualify, that doesn't "change everything". It would just allow him to commit. I think it's meaningless chatter. I would guess it means (to him) that more schools can go after him. Like someone else said, he's used up his visits (with one remaining). But if he did/does have a "dream school" that he's been waiting for an offer from and he gets it, I would guess that he doesn't need to take an official visit to choose them over the likes of Charlotte and us. Fortunately I'm trusting in Miles and his staff, regardless of what this unproven prospect decides to do.
GoBigRed Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 I think by "this changes everything" it meant he was scrambling to figure out what to do and was panicking, but now he doesn't have to have a backup plan anymore. At least I hope so. Everyone assumed we were sniffing around for another big man because we thought Atewe was going elsewhere. Maybe we were looking for another big man because our coaches didn't think he was going to become eligible?
Red Rum Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 I'm going with the over on 35 pages. I mean I can post stupid crap all day long to get us there if I have to. Norm Peterson 1
ajb5856 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 @ReggieRankin: 2013 post Atewe nearing a decision http://t.co/ELnRIBslsR Atewe's response: @MatthewAtewe41: @ReggieRankin huh? I'll say way over 35 pages.
leonidas Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 Okay, I know it's all in fun in trying to reach 35 pages but in my opinion, posting nonsense just to post nonsense just clutters up this thread.
Norm Peterson Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 Speaking of posting stupid crap, Atewe just retweeted a tweet from Reggie Rankin saying that Atewe is close to a decision. Let me say that again. Atewe just retweeted a tweet by Reggie Ranking saying that Atewe is close to a decision. That's different from Atewe saying he's close to a decision. Not sure how different, but it's different.
Norm Peterson Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 Wow. Old news on the Rankin tweet. I have slow fingers today it looks like.
Swan88 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 What is now public information, that was apparently a mystery before today, is this: Matthew Atewe had eligibility issues that are just now resolved in his favor. He is now eligible. This seems to be very good news. This is the first time we've seen anything approaching a reason that makes sense for the delays (and the appearance of indecision) that have produced 30 pages of angst and discussion on this board.

Other than his public statements that he wanted to take all five visits? I still don't understand your reluctance to believe that he did, in fact, want to take all five visits.

TheKamdyMan Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Posted March 13, 2013 Robin said he hasnt been able to contact Atewe to find out exactly what his plans are with this recent news but said this should change everything going forward and could be wild few weeks and that he may possibly cancel his Nevada visit to see if new suitors come into play.
Norm Peterson Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 I'm gonna go out on a limb and say there's a 50/50 chance that he winds up at a school whose name begins with an "N."

Tyron Lue stuck with the team that stuck with him. He's in the Husker HOF now and has a couple of NBA rings. Just sayin'.

So he's gonna see if any other schools come after him now that he's cleared the clearinghouse. OK I get that. I know he initially had a whole bunch of offers. KState, Marquette, Georgia Tech, a few others. My question today after we learned what we learned would be did he actually weed those schools out and say no to their offers or did those schools cool on him and back off once they learned he may be a question mark on being eligible?
49r Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 I don't think you weed out K-State, Marquette and GTech in favor of Nebraska, Nevada, Auburn and Charlotte... just sayin'
Norm Peterson Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 Yeah, "this changes everything" is a little too emphatic if all you're talking about is "this means I'll now qualify at the schools I've already been looking at." Sorry, but not holding my breath on this one. Not that I have been ...
FredsSlacks Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 I find it hard to believe a high level bcs team is going to come after Atewe now that he is qualified. He has no offensive game and did not start on his high school team.
Norm Peterson Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 I find it hard to believe a high level bcs team is going to come after Atewe now that he is qualified. He has no offensive game and did not start on his high school team. I hear ya. Not sure whether to be more irritated or discouraged, though, because we got no other arrows in our quiver.

Akoy could of made life a lot easier had he committed here.

He has no offensive game and did not start on his high school team. which is funny because he started for Team Canada and that team WOULD probably beat this years Nebraska squad with the talent on that team. Andrew Wiggins #1 2013 Trey Lyles 5 star for 2014 Tyler Ennis #24 for 2013 Xavier Rathan Mayes #28 for 2013 and Atewe for the starting line-up for Team Canada. Yikes! With two 4*, a 3*, and two 2*'s coming off the bench. By the way one of the 4* players was Atewe's back-up at center though he is a 2015 prospect so hes younger. Cookie Belcher 1

Sorry, but not holding my breath on this one. Not that I have been ... Agreed. And agreed with previous poster saying you don't "weed out" higher level schools for lower level schools. I thought k st was out because they signed other bugs. Let me sift through this 30 page thread....
Hooper Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 Atewe told Robin Washut tonight that he meant nothing by the "This changes everything!" tweet, and that he still plans to visit Nevada this weekend. Back to Defcon 4. Norm Peterson 1
