This kid just had his scholarship revoked a few days ago from Northwestern. Sure he has some kind of relationship with Coach Gates, could be a possibility for that last scholarship? I know we don't necessarily need another guard, but it looks like some quality teams are giving him a look.

He was denied admission into Northwestern.  Most of the chatter on Reddit over the weekend about him seemed to indicate being denied admission was not due to a grade issue.  Seems to me to be that caveat emptor would be a pretty necessary approach for any school who is considering offering him a scholarship.

 

**edited to clarify that the admission was revoked (meaning that he had previously been granted admission) not denied

I would take a freshman guard of this caliber over the big man transfer from Tennessee State.

 

Not that we're necessarily in the running for either, but if someone granted me special powers for a day and I could just decide for them, provided his revocation of admission to Northwestern wasn't reflective of a serious character issue, I'd pick a kid like this.

 

Hands down.

Helpful coincidence that we have an open spot and just hired an assistant coach who probably played a role in recruiting him there.

There should be some serious mutual interest here...

 

Beyond the fact that the new assistant was the lead recuiter for the team he committed to, you’d think playing quality minutes with/under glynn and james palmer jr. would be great experience. Then, the next year (2019-2020) you have the keys to the car. Everything is yours

Isn’t anyone worried as to why he was revoked admission though?

Yes.  I am confident in our staff though.  So if I hear that we are contacting him, it will be with the blessing of our administration team.

Not any more it is win now time DAMN IT!!!?

I assume there is a bit of humor intended in your reply, well because there is a bit of humor in almost all of your reply’s. I trust our staff to do their due diligence and if they offer they will be comfortable with that offer. I don’t want Nebraska, in any sport to ever get to the, “ Damn the torpedoes, it is win now time!”

This would be a great get.

But didn’t we just sign a 6’5” 195 lb. point guard?  Why would a 6’4” 175 lb. point guard want to come here in the same class?

 

I think that’s a great question... but I think historically Tim has liked guards that can play both guard positions. I know he’s said that in the past
