Norm Peterson Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Thanks for the vids, MichHusker. No offense, but whoever did the filming in 2010 was pretty bad. And so was Sam Ozier. Flat-footed on D, and kind of stood around watching a lot. Horrible hands. I can see why he didn't do very well in college. That backdoor oop play they tried to run at the beginning of the 2nd vid was comical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hskr4life Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 This guy kind of looks like a Walter Pitchford type that would rather drive than shoot it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichHusker Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Honestly for being as late as it is in the 2015 cycle, Mike Edwards might not be a bad get. Especially if we have an open unused scholarship. But only if he has a tremendous work ethic and is very coachable, Cuz he has a lot of work to do to be a big 10 center. Supposedly he didn't start playing basketball till the 7th grade... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredsSlacks Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Potential is there with this kid. we need bigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredsSlacks Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 seems pretty similar to Jake hammond in size and skills, and hammond was a top 150 player at one time. Mmmm, I don't know that I've seen film of Jacob showing the kind of athleticism this kid shows. This kid gets up and down the floor. Runs the floor very fast in those videos. He's also overall just stronger with the ball than what I saw of Jacob Hammond. I think there's a reason Jacob fell out of the Rivals 150. at second glance, he does seem a bit more explosive than hammond. similar body types though.

Dead Dog Alley Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 That's why I said "like" eastern illinois. Give me some credit: I had the right state. Indeed. And I just did. Northern Illinois had a 6'4" post player that outplayed Tony Farmer in the first half of that game. That guy was impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhcmatt Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Kinda like Rich King going off for 40 points against some, like, Eastern Illinois team whose tallest player was shorter than your wife. Norm, I hope you will forgive me for being historically anal, I realize this wasn't the main point of your post. But it's ironic you brought up Rich King's 40 point performance. It was actually against Northern Illinois - not Eastern Illinois. And in fact, it was a very good Northern Illinois team. Oh, and by the way, look who was coaching Northern Illinois per below. As a guy who prides himself of remembering to reference past items consider me impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichHusker Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Scored 8 tonight in a low scoring win. Both teams in the 30's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Peterson Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Creighton 4* Josh Patton scored 11 in a loss where his team scored in the 50s. So, I feel better, I guess, about the kid who scores 25% of his teams points in a low scoring win than I do about the kid who scores 20% of his teams points in a blowout loss. Not that one game tells the whole story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swan88 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 According to Verbal Commits we offered him todayHe also received an offer from Georgia this week.Here is an article on him from Detroit dated two days ago: http://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/high-school/2015/03/12/recruiting-john-glenns-mike-edwards-a-rising-star/70238056/ This article says he is 6' 10" and gained 10 pounds to 217. Here is a portion of the article: Edwards, whose father by the same name played football for Michigan State in the late 1980s, has now received multiple offers, including some from SEC and Big Ten schools. "Georgia's head coach (Mark Fox) watched him play Thursday (March 5), then sent his assistant to Monday's (Class A district opener) game and that's when they offered," Watts said. "Nebraska's assistant (Jim Molinari) was at Monday's game, too." Edwards has offers from Georgia, Boston College, Eastern Michigan, Detroit, Cleveland State and Loyola-Marymount, and is being looked at by such schools as Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Iowa, Arkansas, Butler, UTEP and SMU.

TheKamdyMan Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Would you guys take him over Levi Cook? I would only for the fact that levi cook has gotten worse as hes gotten older. I want a guy thats showing he is working on his game. Now that doesnt mean things cant change but I'd rather ride the guy going the right direction.

FredsSlacks Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 does this offer mean petteway is gone? or is it tai, jake, or nick? I don't think miles makes this offer without being close to 100% sure someone is leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskerCager Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 does this offer mean petteway is gone? or is it tai, jake, or nick? I don't think miles makes this offer without being close to 100% sure someone is leaving. It possible. Or it could also be possible Jack Mcveigh doesn't end up here either since he is only a verbal. Pure conjecture on my part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huskerpapa Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 The one short segment where he boxes his man off the board, the rebound goes elsewhere yet he sprints down the floor for a dunk got me a bit excited... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugeaterZ Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 does this offer mean petteway is gone? or is it tai, jake, or nick? Tai isn't leaving. Hear he has a very serious girlfriend and Miles will not run him off. I don't think miles makes this offer without being close to 100% sure someone is leaving.

Huskerpapa Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 It is what it is, but I kind of abhor the who is staying and who may leave discussions. Just seems to be shots in the dark for the most part. That said, there is a part of me that thinks that the indivdiual who may choose to leave isn't mentioned that often. But...we will likely find out the answer(s) within the next two to six weeks. 49r and Red Don 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
