I like our class.  I think we have a great coach who is extremely strong at developing players.  I heard a college bb coach once say this about Yori while she was at Creighton.  "At the beginning of the season Coach Yori had numerous players that nobody recruited highly but at the end of the season she had a lot of players that everybody wanted".

Anybody hear of any signings today from the 5 commits for 2016?

[Row6Seat10]

Hannah Whitish makes it official!!

 

 

The coach says:

 

“Hannah Whitish was the last player to commit to our recruiting class and we are thrilled that she did,” Yori said. “She is a winner and an absolute gym rat. When she came on her visit, she could not wait to have some time alone to shoot in the Hendricks Complex. I think she is going to wear some of these nets out, along with Natalie Romeo for the next couple years. Hannah is a tough competitor who comes from a winning program and expects to win. She is going to bring that mentality every day to our practices and our games.”

 

Hannah chose Nebraska over Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, Arkansas and Florida Gulf Coast.

Mi'Cole Cayton signs on the dotted line!!

 

 

What the coach says:

 

“Mi’Cole Cayton is going to remind Husker fans of Tear’a Laudermill and Yvonne Turner,” Yori said. “She is a speed guard and she plays the game with loads of energy and a lot of flare. She is the kind of player that is going to be exciting to watch, and our fans are going to appreciate the work she does to wreak havoc on the defensive end. She is explosive off the dribble, can hit the dribble jump shot and can shoot a pretty high percentage from three-point range. She has the skills she needs to be successful at this level, and she also has a great desire to win.”

 

Mi'Cole chose Nebraska over Arizona State, Iowa State, Utah and Colorado.

Grace Mitchell is all "N"

 

 

Her  future coach says:

 

“Grace Mitchell wasn’t really a highly recruited player until this summer because she didn’t play much AAU basketball. We were lucky to get her because she has a lot of potential,” Yori said. “Grace will add great size and athleticism on the wing at 6-2, but she also has great shooting range. She should give us the ability to stretch the defense from the wing, which we haven’t been able to do. She has the chance with Nicea Eliely, Maddie Simon and Jasmine Cincore to give us great versatility in our wing rotation.”

 

Grace picked the Huskers over  U-Tex/Arlington, Tulsa, Oral Roberts and Wyoming.

Kathleen Doyal is "N"

 

 

Yori says this about her:

 

“Kathleen Doyle was the first commit to this year’s recruiting class, and we’re confident we have found a winner both on and off the court,” Yori said. “She is an extremely smart player with a high basketball IQ, and she is also a really intelligent person off the court who was recruited by basically all the Ivy League schools. Kathleen is a pass-first point guard who can shoot it too, and she is a tough defender. She knows how to find the best solution to leading her team to victory.”

 

Kathleen chose Nebraska over Indiana, Wake Forest, Dayton and Marquette. She also strongly considered several Ivy League schools.

[Row6Seat10]

Last but not least is Nicea Eliely. No signing picture yet.

 

Yori says

“Nicea Eliely is an exciting defender. She has excellent lateral quickness, great length and a commitment to defense,” Yori said. “She also has a quick first step offensively and can hit the dribble jump shot. Nicea has received some good coaching, and she has become a significantly better player each year in high school. We expect that growth to continue this season and once she arrives at Nebraska. She has a chance to provide us with some versatility in our wing rotation that we haven’t had in a long time.”

 

Nicea chose Nebraska over Colorado and Wichita State.

Nice work Row posting all the newest NU newbies !

 

This is really a strong overall class...especially when considering our future needs. Will put us in a real nice position for talent at all positions. Lot's to like !

 

Strong point guards, and real shooters at the wing. I think Yori has said we have been in need of scoring wings. This class will help fill the bill when Rachel T. leaves. We could be really set for guards/wings going into the next few years. Hannah Whitish could be the sleeper....I recently read some of her local news articles and she's a great team player and leader.

 

Maybe the following year...more bigs?

 

Great class !!   Welcome !

Not sure Silver, but I think the lady sitting beside her would be her mom, if that's who you meant. Her dad (pictured sitting beside her) played football for KU back in the 70's.

And I believe Grace Mitchell's grandfather is Jack Mitchell, KU Head Football Coach from 1958-66.
