He's another North Carolina kid

Corprew reminded us of a younger Andrew White but with better athleticism and ball handling skills. While not the shooter of White, Corprew is smooth as silk and has the unique blend of skill and athleticism. He was explosive off the dribble and is extremely quick off his feet.

Since this message board, like all others, thrives on unsubstantiated rumor and speculation, let's add this one to the mix: 

 

Deshawn Corprew has a high school teammate who is also uncommitted for the 2016 class, according to this report out of Georgia:

 

"there was a twist that was hinted at the very beginning.  If Corprew is interested in Georgia, . . . then there is a possibility that Georgia could try to land his high school teammate, Papa N’Diaye, in a tandem deal.."

 

Here is a link to N'Diaye's Rivals page: he is a 6'9" / 215 lb. Rivals four-star Center (ESPN and Scout 3-star PF), with Nebraska listed by Rivals and Scout as having interest.  ESPN says Mississippi State has offered.

Good job Swan, you virtually guaranteed we won't land this kid now.  :mad:

Good eye...it probably isn't any sort of package deal thing but I don't think it's a coincidence that they are teammates.

Lets get this kid him and Glynn would have our backcourt set for years to come.

[Norm Peterson]

I have been saying we needed another guard. I kind of like this kids's film. I certainly think he looks like a lot better prospect than Bakari Evelyn. Didn't jack McVeigh come on our radar about this time last year? There is some precedent for us finding a decent recruit at this point in the process. What I can't figure out is how a 4-star guard is still available to the point where we can still get involved.

He was sort of under the radar, committed to Ark Little-Rock in October and then broke it off.

[Swan88]

Perhaps his below-the-radar status has something to do with eligibility issues that are just now resolving favorably?

[Norm Peterson]

I went on ahead and looked at several of his videos online and he sure seems to look the part of a rivals four-star, ranked #112 in the country. I certainly wouldn't complain about us getting involved and potentially landing a kid like this at this point. Call me very enthusiastic about this development.

Here is some information from a Wake Forest article dated in June of 2015:

 

"Corprew is continuing a streak of continued improvement from his junior season. In 16 EYBL games for Boo Williams, he is averaging 15.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.4 steals, while shooting 43% from beyond the arc, and 73% from the charity stripe."

[Norm Peterson]

43% from outside? Sign this kid. Now.

[Norm Peterson]

Of course, he's not from Omaha, so ...

[Huskerpapa]

Man...he is a playa...

[colhusker]

43% from outside? Sign this kid. Now.

I will second this here and now.

[Norm Peterson]

Here's another one of his films:

 

[Fullbacksympathy]

Yes please.  This kid is doing a lot of high difficulty things with ease.  Good build too.  Looks strong and confident.  

[ShortDust]

I'm on board with this. I see a lot of comparisons to Dion waiters. Dude can shoot and drive like none other.

[AuroranHusker]

[Norm Peterson]

That's really bad news for us.

[Swan88]

That's really bad news for us.

But he might be available again in a couple years?

[Norm Peterson]

It would really be a coup if we were able to land this kid at this point, with KU jumping in.  And, according to Verbal Commits, he also has an offer from Louisville.

 

Shoot.

YUGE coup if we land him along with Jordy.  That's my goal, though.  Land 'em both.

Missouri is confident they will land Deshawn Corprew.  (SB Nation, 1/21/16)

 

Kansas expects a commit from Corprew sooner rather than later.  (KC KIngdom 1/21/16)

 

 

 

I'm gonna get a good laugh out of it when they're both wrong and he signs with us.

Like when the Missouri governor stated that Mizzou would be 'in' the Big Ten in 2009, huh?

[49r]

With the dumpster fire that is Missouri U, and the Mizzou basketball program being as crappy as it is, I don't see how anyone can be confident that they could land *any* recruit.

 

I mean, the radio guys here in KC are talking about how much folks want to fire Kim Anderson, and he's only midway through his second year!
