2017 PF/C Logan Strom -> UC-Davis

[basketballjones]

Logan Strom picked up a Boston Univ. offer. It's his 15th D1 basketball offer. I just, really, feel like these are the guys who stay 4 (maybe even 5 with a redshirt) years and are just solid studs as juniors and seniors. He's got a great jump shot, and really good face-up game in the post and pro post.

I'm far from a talent scout but idk why we would offer him. He's only 6'7 so I don't see him as Jordys back up and I don't think he is good enough to take PT away from Morrow, Horne, or Jacobson who all will have 2-3 years of eligibility left by the time Strom is in college.

[khoock]

That being said, in a world where everyone wants to play right away and be a star I do think in state players are more likely to redshirt and develop compared to out of state 4 star recruits. Which is important bc next year our rotation will basically be the same aside from Tai's gaurd minutes.

UNO offer.

UNO offer.

Good choice on their part

[Fullbacksympathy]

I'd like us to offer him.  He's another Jacobson.  I've been pretty damned happy with Jacobson.  Very similar body types/skillsets.

I have heard that he may not have the same mindset as MJ though.  Perhaps that makes the difference?

Not the same players at all. Jacobson is a much better athlete and much more willing to bang around.

I liken Strom to a young Andrew Drevo.

I agree with this, he must have made some big strides this summer. Great for him, hope he picks UNO so I can go watch him in action.

[Chuck Taylor]

Jacobson is big enough and athletic enough that he can provide some minutes at 5. Strom is strictly a 4 and we already have more than we need. Can't see any way we'd offer. 

[khoock]

Just committed to UC-DAVIS today.

[Navin R. Johnson]

I think he chose UC-Davis over Indiana State and Denver U.  I believe the Huskers wanted him to walk-on.

[Huskerpapa]

That will be a good fit for him; although, I would have loved to have him walk on here.

[bobcat402]

good fit, but i think husker football would've been a good fit as well but best of luck to him!

Hmm, just learned today that this kid is a relative of mine.  Who woulda thunk it.

Breaking news on a Monday night. Former Norfolk standout Logan Strom is transferring from UC-Davis to Nebraska Omaha. Strom will sit one year and have three years remaining of eligibility. Pretty good get for Omaha. 

[Huskerpapa]

I believe he will have sat out two straight years.

[Chuck Taylor]

Correct, he redshirted this season. Always thought that was a strange choice for him, seemed like a great fit for the Summit. Davis isn't on the ocean, so there wasn't that draw.

Man... I never disagreed with you when you responded about this. And now all three of those guys are gone, haha.

Very odd career path thus far for Strom, who apparently now is transferring to Weber State for football.  He has now redshirted at two different schools in basketball, and will be trying his hand at football without ever playing a minute of collegiate basketball.

 

This only came up on my radar because I now live in Ogden, UT, which is the home of Weber State. I saw in the newspaper that he was trasferring here and I thought "hey, I know that name..."

I hope he has things worked out now and can focus on school. He actually has an incredibly high ceiling in football but just did not have the mindset and liked hoops a lot more. Rumor was Pelini wanted to offer him as a frosh after one of their camps.
