Norm Peterson Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Sounds like he had a few explosive dunks. So the leg appears to be fine........man we are recruiting some length. The question is can he shoot? We're recruiting him as a SG so he needs to be able to shoot. I saw an interview of him from a few months back, after the injury, where he was talking about working on his shooting. From what little video I'd seen of him PRIOR to the injury, it sure looked like his perimeter jumper needed some work, but then again, he was what?, just a sophomore? His coach knows the game, though, and I'm sure is capable of teaching fundamentals like shooting. Hopefully, outside shooting will be a strong suit of his when he gets here.

Navin R. Johnson Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Coach Chubick made the comment that he is still only about 80-85%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Peterson Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Coach Chubick made the comment that he is still only about 80-85%. That sounds a bit scary, actually. Is he expected to make a full, 100% recovery with no residual pain or limitation? And did Coach Chubs say anything about his shooting? We need him to be a shooter.

Navin R. Johnson Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 I dont think it will dog him for his career if thats what you mean. He will have to improve his outside shot. Still a lot of time to get better at both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, really good interviews with Aguek and Chubick, Sr. I wish the camera would have captured Chubick's face when Aguek went down hard on that alley oop attempt.

hhcmatt Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Omaha South has him listed at 6'5" these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskerpapa Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 He needs to put on about 25 lbs of muscle and improve his outside game. But he is an exciting player with a tremendous upside. Should be fun watching him mature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be fun watching him mature. He's just a junior so I'm hoping the shot will develop over the next couple years. Heck he might be 6'8" by the time he's a freshman and can slot into our roster of 12 6'7"-6'9" guys by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, AA has a couple years to grow in stature and girth. Hope the outside game continues to improve by leaps & bounds, as well. Preferably by 'swishes'!

Art Vandalay Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Norm - I watched him practice quite a bit when he was in 8th and 9th grades. You can tell he was taught form shooting but it just did not look real natural at that time. Not sure what it is but it just looked a little different maybe because he has such long arms or something, I am not sure. He has a nice mid range game so I think the 3 ball will come as he gets older and stronger. His AAU coach at the time (8th grade) told me he has never coached a kid with such energy and the ability to play extremely fast but under control. If he develops a legit jumper the sky is the limit with him. He also seemed to be a great kid helping out the younger kids in practice, running drills, etc Red Don, Norm Peterson, HB and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throwback Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Omaha South asst coach & former Husker Bruce Chubick had some comments on Arop on 93.7 Friday. If I linked this correctly, fast forward to 10:30 mark. http://www.theticketfm.com/podcasts/gaskinsstephens/2016_01_15_2_Chubick.mp3 Said Arop is "energizer bunny" - never stops working, never stops moving on offense. Very coachable, always takes comments from coaches and tries to implement them. Thinks he'll be a guy at D-1 level who can guard a variety of different players, quick enough to guard players smaller than he is, but is going to have enough explosive jumping ability and length to rebound vs taller players. Said he'll definitely need to get stronger to play B1G basketball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neebrasketball Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Good talk about Arop on Sharpe & Benning this morning. Sipple was on for Sharpe. Sipple said Arop is a lock down defender and loves playing defense He compared him offensively to Shavon Shooting could improve He is going to play some AAU on a Chauncey Billups team so he can play with taller guys and thus play the 2 I found this interesting since I haven't read specifics about his game. Also, Mike Sautter was on and said while Arop and Chang are very close, he thinks if Chang keeps on improving he could become a blue-blood recruit.
