bball23 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Washnut reporting on twitter that Aram Martin is the next in line that NU is looking at. 6'9, 180 lbs. Little thin. His list of teams looking at him not overly impressive yet, but have heard he has a lot of upside and more offers may come. He also tweeted that Martin is hoping NU makes an offer and to make an official visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also tweeted that Martin is hoping NU makes an offer and to make an official visit. That's really thin, hope he can bulk up quick. I would think he would defiantly be a redshirt candidate. I'm also assuming this is a 2013 recruit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kldm64 Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Here is what Robin Washut is reporting but this kid sure don't look very impressive with his size or schools that have offered him. Robin Washut @RobinWashut #Nebrasketball is showing heavy interest in 2013 PF Aram Martin of The Miller School in Virginia. Hoping to set up official visit this month Robin Washut @RobinWashut Martin tells me NU coaches will see him play next week, where he's hoping for an offer and to schedule an official http://ow.ly/eYXLz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh42 Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 I know we all get caught up in measurables, but the kid looks pretty athletic. Add some muscle and who knows? As far as the schools that are offering....there are a lot of great academic institutions listed. Must be a smart kid, which is a positive in my book. Another positive would be him hoping for an offer from us and Miles wants guys who want to be here. Sounds like it is a matter of the coaches watching him in person and determining whether he warrants an offer or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49r Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 *sigh* Do you do this just in protest of having a members-only recruiting board? Norm Peterson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huskerpapa Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Yikes, I get a little concerned with his weight...as I am with David Rivers. Our league is pretty darn physical. Can he handle that type of game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Peterson Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 The whole point of the recruiting page is to keep this stuff private so that no chance of turning off a prospective recruit. The first post in this thread says a prospective recruit doesn't look very impressive. Dimes, can you move this to the recruiting board, please? 49r 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverbacked1 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Just tweeted: Robin Washut @RobinWashut Here's an update on 2013 PF Aram Martin, who could be getting a #Nebrasketball offer by the end of the week ($$$) http://nebraska.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1432957 … I don't have rivals so can't read the article, maybe somebody else can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredsSlacks Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I think NU needs to be a little more patient before offering this kid. He seems like a project and will probably have to redshirt to put on at least 20lbs. I'd rather go after Tory Miller who could play from day 1.

FredsSlacks Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 His body type is extremely similar to John Henson that played at UNC. Henson was 6'11 though and had one of the longest wingspans in college basketball. Henson could afford to be skinny and still play inside because of how long he was. I'm not sure Aram have the length to be effective like Henson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henson could afford to be skinny and still play inside because of how long he was. I'm not sure Aram have the length to be effective like Henson. Im basing it on seeing John Henson play in HS a couple times and the video from above. Henson really isnt 6'11'' as I am 6'7'' and he didnt have 4 inches on me when I stood next to him in 2008-09. He was a stick and half but he definitely bulked up over the years at UNC. Im definitely not saying this kid will play even a quarter as good but at the same age the body types are close to it.

Norm Peterson Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Well, after seeing what a project Vucetic is, both athletically and skill-wise, it would be nice if we could bring in a kid who could contribute early. Not sure those guys are on our board any longer this year. Should we maybe just wait until next year? I dunno. We'll see what happens and I'll let the coaches coach.

TheKamdyMan Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 watching the video I see Vucetic part 2 maybe worse in all honesty. Nothing stood out to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Peterson Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 No, Kamdy, gotta disagree. Look at the first vid that Smiles posted. Lots more going on there. Not saying he's the next great center, but he's got more game than Vucetic from all I can tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskerpapa Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 + Rivers has improved exponentially over last year. If he can continue to improve, we may rue the fact that he did not redshirt....but....perhaps he can redshirt next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Peterson Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Vucetic is going to have to get a lot better to get much more playing time next year than he's getting this year. Not saying he can't get it done, but he will have to get better in order to play. That's already established. If he brought more to the table than Rivers, he'd be playing right now, and he's not. Position is irrelevant. It's what you bring to the table when you're in there. And if Miles would rather go small than go Vucetic, that tells you something. As far as waiting a year if he doesn't see the floor next year, that's kind of a gamble for the kid. IMHO, if he's not real confident that he can elevate his game substantially and start seeing the floor next year, then the time to transfer is at the end of this year where he'd have 3 years to play after a redshirt season sitting out as a transfer. Frankly, I think the kid probably needs to redshirt next year either here or somewhere else. He just won't have time to develop and see significant playing time in 4 years. But the question is whether Miles thinks there will be enough upside to justify tying up that scholarship spot for 5 seasons. My guess is that Miles will make an honest assessment of where Sergej stands and will explain to him at the end of this season what he would need to do to ever see the floor here. At season's end, it might be mutually beneficial to just shake hands and part ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying he's the next great center, but he's got more game than Vucetic from all I can tell. that video is better. To be fair I started at the bottom of the 4 and worked up and stopped after 2 videos of seeing lackluster play. I still dont know as he is head and shoulder taller than his opponents which works in high school but in college half of his baskets wouldnt have ever happened from that video. He shows more athleticism than Vucetic but he also is giving up 3 inches to Vuc. I think if it came down to martin and Atewe Im going Atewe due to actual size of frame and higher upside.
