About an hour ago Tim Miles showed his reaction to Mr. Roby's news:

I guarentee you that he doesn't have hair on those legs yet...Maybe I am getting old, but Isaiah looks like he is about thirteen.

Young looking under the radar 6'7¨ kid with a head on his shoulders? Did we just sign the next Shavon Shields?  

OH YEAH!

Miles is KILLING IT in recruiting! Booyah!

Alright, no lies.  I'm drinking my typical $12 whiskey---AT 50% OFF.  Seriously, PM me, I'll give you the location of the spot droppin 6.54 1.75's of gold...  IT MIGHT JUST BE A CORNER PHARMACY.

But, it's rant time.

I never hated the Roby kid from Colorado.  And I hate everything Colorado.

Because it's not NU

Now NU HAS A ROBY

And I couldn't be more excited.  Why you ask?

Because I can't even in my deepest, darkest, twisted mind think of anything clever  to say if Roby lets me down.

Actually, this is kind of twisted, but if he lets me down I'll think of diss-roby.  Which is kind of funny (or fun) depending on how you see it.

As I'm typing disroby I'm watching the royals fall apart and making obvious parallels BUT a HOMERUN happens, so Roby is obviously a homerun.

It's not that Roby is Royal, but the connection is obvious.

Roby+ time= Row time.  4th row (number of letters in roby's name) will likely win some kind of Runza/pepsi promo this year.

I just feel like that's enough for me to consider this an exciting sign.  I've never followed logic in life.  It makes a lot of sense not to. 

As you already know, WE WILL WIN.

I'm thinking with all of the Illinois players we will be seeing this kid in PBA often in the future.

That is AWESOME!! Miles is the man. Welcome to the family, Isaiah Roby! 2015 & 2016 classes are looking very bright for Nebrasketball recruiting. GBR!

My buddies assessment of him being a Kyle Anderson style player seems to be what everyone is making him out to be. 

Great pick up by Miles and crew!

That wouldn't suck....

He's apparently a legit 6'8" according to Roby himself.  Wow.  Love this kid.

Saw some video -- will try to find the link -- and the kid looks very athletic.  You can just see it in the way some kids move.  At 6'8" and entering his junior year, you might expect some kids to look a little clumsy or awkward.  Not this kid.  Very smooth stride.  Very smooth.  And appears to have some very solid ups.  

On record right now:  I really like this kid.

I've been intrigued by this kid since NU started in on recruitment as Miles likes 'em "long, lean & under-rated" -- apparently, also, how Miles likes his zucchini & an 'Arop'~!

Here's the vid.  Team clip but Isaiah's action is early.  Watch how he carries himself for a young, lanky, tall kid.  He moves extremely well for a kid with his length at his age.  Fantastic body control.  He has a very athletic stride.  I'd say we're very fortunate to get this early commit because I expect he'd blow up by next summer.

yes welcome Isaiah, see you in two years.

Yeah after watching that I really agree that he's KA Lite.

There are some more highlights from 2013 of him mixed in here.  He looks even younger.  You can tell though there has been quite a bit of growth in the last year just from the two videos.

Could he...possibly...kind of...perhaps....maybe develop into a...dare I say...Kevin Durant type player???
