2017 PF Daniel Mading -> UC Riverside

[TheKamdyMan]

Goes to the Rock school in Florida by way of Australia. He's 6'9" 175 currently. Will be a high level player as he's got quite a few offers already.

[Norm Peterson]

Well, 6'8" and 175# as a 10th grader ...

 

That boy still has some growin' to do.

 

And Miles doesn't seem to be intimidated or scared off by the offers some kid might have from other schools.  Good for Miles.

If we land him do we become the next Baylor but with a lethal man defense? My word...picture him, Roby, and Arop on the same team. Oh and Marrow. That's some serious length.

Another connection is that he plays on the same club team as Pinder.

[AuroranHusker]

Whoa, talk about a string bean... this kid might be called bag o' bones for Halloween.

 

At 6'-9" & 175# he could add 30# w/o anyone hardly noticing...

Thinking the same thing.  He has almost a foot on me and I have almost 20 pounds on him.

[Silverbacked1]

Yeah I think I eat more than he weights at Thinksgiving.

From Burno’s contacts, the Huskers also have offered 6-8 forward Melo Eggleston from Upper Marlboro, Maryland, for the 2017 class. Eggleston is an AAU teammate of 6-10 forward Daniel Mading from Australia, who is another target of NU coach Tim Miles for 2017.

I wonder if we were a player for Mading while Harriman was here...if so, we may be less of a target today.

Found the old Mading thread. Probably Harriman in on him which means a re-recruit.

I think he'll end up being heavily recruited so I'm not sure how in we were even with Harriman.

 

Jack McVeigh excelling here in the next year or two would really help any sort of Australian recruiting.

Looks like Mading is still in play: He was in Lincoln yesterday

Thon Maker's cousin

Ended playing ball at St Anthony's in New Jersey for Bobby Hurley Sr.

Verbally committed for the class of 2017 to Hurley Jr and ASU in Dec of 2015 as the #64 prospect in the country. Decommits June 2016

Plays a year of prep at The Rock School because you can only play until you're 19 in NJ. In Feb 2017 chooses Texas Tech over Providence

Ends up at San Jacinto College.

In March of 2018 commits to UC-Riverside as Arizona St has probably recruited over him.

 

He redshirts for 2018-19 and should be a 22 year old sophomore when he comes to back to Lincoln as part of the UC RIverside Highlanders team
