So, how long before Creighton offers?

Wondering what you guys know about him. Height, weight, position, skill level, etc...

So, how long before Creighton offers?

 

 

Pretty sure they were in on him already.  You'd be delusional to think otherwise...  

[Navin R. Johnson]

He is around 6' 4" and played the 4 or 3 for South. Averaged about 7 pts and 5 boards a game. Very athletic, very good rebounder good in the high post suspect outside shooter but may have improved since the season.

Nebraska was his first offer.

[Vinny]

Nebraska was his first offer.

I like it. I think we should be identifying local talent, and letting them know we have noticed them by being the first to offer.  That's what the only show in the state should do.

Here is a little article from NE high school hoops that goes with the film posted above.

It is also important to note that Omaha South is an up and coming program and I believe will soon derail Central as to the basketball school in Omaha...of course that is just my humble opinion.  And oh yeah...their basketball coach is Bruce Chubick Sr...and perhaps Junior helps on occasion as well   --- kind of nice to have a pretty strong NE tie to an up and coming program.

My recollection from the end of last season on these younger players is this:

1. Tim Miles suggested that the best prospects in Nebraska are from the younger classes;

2. Some of these younger players were present at the Wisconsin game and expressed excitement about the Husker basketball program; and

3. Some if these younger players were on the sidelines at the football Spring Game like other recruits.

There was an incredible level of excitement among Husker Nation in the Basketball program due to it's success as the season wore on. I had multiple friends who knew I had season tickets approach me to see if I would part with my tickets for parents or themselves. Some of people were even from out of state. So there is no doubt that any in-state talent had to be swept up with the excitement surrounding the program. That bodes well as we do have some legit talent coming up in the next few years.

We just need that one nationally high ranked recruit to commit and sign to start attracting other highly ranked recruits to give us more than a passing look.

Went from not being able to give away a pair of tickets walking up the ramp at Devaney to being able to sell tickets for 10X face value for the Wisconsin game. All in about a years time. Yes, the level of interest and excitement has escalated.

From an email I got from someone that is pretty well connected:

"His dad is about 6' 7" - 6' 8"...there is a huge Sudanese population here in Omaha that is playing basketball…he has another brother in 8th grade that is even better than he is..."

You may want to read Robin's premium article on Aguek Arop before stepping out too far on this point -- it may depend on the definition of "in on."

Ok . . . so I'm slow at catching a joke. Sorry about that, 9er.

On the subject of the above posts, Robin said UNL and UNO were the only D1 teams "showing legitimate interest" before this past weekend.

Dis a pretty big reach rite now. Kid aint got no other offers- no mid majors, no low,majors, nuttin. Seen him play and'd ont understand da rush to offer ritenow.

Hope Miles aint feelin pressured to offer in state kids just cuz dey from Nebraska.

Dis post a reech rite heeya.  Seriously the kid was a freshman last season.  Outside of the top 50 players in the country most kids don't get offers this early.  Lay off the pipe and learn some English because you make Central grads look ignorant.

Agau and Gesell both had lots of offers by dis point and neither of em be top 50 players. Insult me if'n u want, but I don't think Miles need to be the first to offer nobody. We should be better den dat.

Totally not true for either player.

Gesell had offers from Nebraska, Creighton, no. Iowa And Iowa before playing a game in HS.

Akoy had several offers before starting his soph yr.

Arop's first and only offer is Nebraska. UNO aint even offered.

You were correct on Gesell I remembered it was his freshman year but his first, and only offer, came as an 8th grader and the rest came as a freshman.  Agau didn't have any high major offers and again not until the start of his sophomore year.

 

If you want to throw straw man arguments at the top 50 comment, Gesell was #87 and Agau was #89 so its not like they were garbage players.  We will see in 3 years how stupid you or I look.  My guess is you'll look as stupid as your grammar.
