AuroranHusker Posted July 14, 2015 Report Posted July 14, 2015 Wish a guy like this could re-classify to 2015... would fill an immediate need & he'd be available for play Div. 1 ball for 3 years! Too bad, oh so sad. Quote

The funny thing I always think of when I see this is that the kid didnt have the drive for 4 year of HS to be eligible in the first place asking them to work harder than someone else to graduate in 3 semesters instead of 4 is like a unicorn.

AuroranHusker Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 Even as a 2-yr prospect starting in 2016, NU would be happy to have him! GBR Quote

Swan88 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Posted July 20, 2015 Robin Washut has a premium article on Arlando Cook. Here is a quote from the article, as to whether NU is a legitimate contender for his services: "They actually really are," Cook said. Also, says he won't take official visits or narrow his list of schools until Spring. AuroranHusker and Red Don 2 Quote

He's got some good offers now and don't see them going away but assuming he continues to get better his offers should get even better when teams need to fill some gaps. It sucks for us but for him it could be very good. Quote
hhcmatt Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 lol....wake me up when he gets down to single digits Quote
Norm Peterson Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 He's going into his sophomore year in juco. Found some interesting stats on him from his freshman year. He started all 33 games. In the only game in October '14, he scoed 6 points In 11 games in November '14, he averaged 9.3 ppg In 3 games in December '14, it was 8.0 ppg In 7 games in January '15, he improved to 12.4 ppg Then, in 6 games in February '15, it was back to 9.8 ppg. But then, in 5 games in March '15, he averaged 19.4 ppg He really elevated his game for the post season, looks like. Quote

FredsSlacks Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Not my favorite prospect. you are aware that we only have 1 player over 6'7 on our roster, correct? hhcmatt 1 Quote
Swan88 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Posted September 11, 2015 Michael Jacobson and Jacob Hammond are both over 6'7". Technically, Edward Morrow is, apparently, only a hair short of 6'8"--he's certainly over 6'8" in shoes. Oh, and on Tim Miles' last team at CSU (which team made the NCAA Tournament), the tallest player who played more than a handful of minutes per game was listed on the official roster at [drumroll] 6'6" tall. Here's guessing we won't see many 6'10"+ Nebrasketball players who log significant minutes any time soon--most aren't sufficiently athletic to do what Tim Miles wants in the post position. Quote
Norm Peterson Posted September 11, 2015 Report Posted September 11, 2015 Not my favorite prospect. you are aware that we only have 1 player over 6'7 on our roster, correct? Yes'm. And I hope to heck we can do better than this 6'9" dude who weighs in at a whopping 215#. But, if we cain't, we cain't. And I'll be standing there welcoming him to Husker nation along with all y'all when that day comes. Quote
jimmykc Posted September 11, 2015 Report Posted September 11, 2015 I think that the measurement of players should be less subjective. It seems to vary as much as 4 or 5 inches at times, depending upon whether the player posts it himself, the school posts it, etc. My own height will vary on my physicals depending upon whether I slouch down, whether they make me take off my shoes, whether my hair is permed or Mohawked (made that one up, but you get the picture). This especially is unreliable around the 6' 9 to 7'0 mark which seem to make recruiters salivate. In other words, there should be some sort of penalty for deliberately fudging this important measurement just like an SAT score. Quote
Norm Peterson Posted September 11, 2015 Report Posted September 11, 2015 My feeling was simply that he's not a post and he's a 2-year guy. He's no taller, really, than Leslee Smith, and a lot lighter, so he's not going to be banging anyone around in the paint. If we're looking for a juco, my thought process would be that you scour the juco ranks for the potential rebounder/rim-protector who doesn't necessarily need to score as much as just play good defense in the post. I don't think this is that guy. If we can find that guy, it would be better. Seems like we should at least look. As it stands, we have plenty of guys who would fall into the PF part of the spectrum, where this guy probably fits. No knock on Arlando. It's just that our needs are slightly different. Having said that, I'd be more than happy to take a 4-year player like a Jeriah Horne who, though shorter, appears to have more long-term upside. Quote
