    Huskers Announce Georgetown Transfer

    Lincoln – University of Nebraska basketball coach Tim Miles announced that Moses Abraham Ayegba (pronounced EYE-eg-buh) has signed transfer papers to attend the University of Nebraska. A native of Kano, Nigeria, Ayegba will graduate from Georgetown with a degree in economics next month and will be eligible for the 2014-15 season.

    “We are excited to have Moses Ayegba join our program,” Nebraska Coach Tim Miles said. “He provides us a veteran physical presence on the interior, and he can affect the game on the defensive end with his rebounding and shot blocking. When building a defense from the inside out, you are looking for a player who can protect the rim and be an anchor, and we think Moses can do that for us. We also think he has the tools to improve on the offensive end and believe he has a chance to flourish in our system next year.”

    Ayegba played in 31 games at Georgetown last season, averaging 1.9 points on 56 percent shooting and 2.8 rebounds per game, as the Hoyas went 18-15 and reached the second round of the NIT. The 6-foot-9, 247-pound Ayegba was second the team with 23 blocked shots while averaging 13.1 minutes per game. His best game of the season was in an overtime loss to Marquette, when he had six points, five rebounds and four blocked shots in a career-high 30 minutes of work. He had five or more rebounds in seven games, including eight against both Butler and High Point and seven at Big East Tournament champion Providence.

    During his sophomore season, he returned from a knee injury to appear in 28 games, averaging 1.3 points and 2.5 rebounds per game to help the Hoyas win the Big East regular-season title and reach the NCAA Tournament. He came off the bench and played at least 10 minutes in 11 contests, including 10 times in Big East play. He grabbed a career-high 10 rebounds in games at Notre Dame and at Syracuse and had eight boards in 18 minutes against Cincinnati.

    During his first three years, including a medical redshirt year, at Georgetown, he worked with current Husker assistant coach Kenta Hunter, as the Hoyas made three straight NCAA Tournament appearances.

    Ayegba attended Progressive Christian (Md.) Academy and averaged 15 points, 16 rebounds and 12 blocks per game in his only season at the school. He was top-100 recruit by Rivals and was among the top-20 centers in the country by both Rivals and Scout.com in the class of 2010.

    The son of Josephine Adikou, he will graduate with a degree in economics and also looked at Indiana, Boston College, Miami and Long Beach State before selecting Nebraska.

    Ayegba joins a Nebraska program that went 19-13 under Miles and reached the second round of the 2014 NCAA Tournament. The Huskers return all five starters, including All-Big Ten performers Terran Petteway and Shavon Shields, and a roster that returns 82 percent of its scoring and 86 percent of its rebounding from a year ago.

    Hey, how'd you embed that tweet!?!

     

     

    http://board.huskerhoopscentral.com/topic/2172-pinnacle-bank-arena/page-3#entry28900

     

    It's easy.  Just about as easy as posting YouTube videos.  No, you don't need to have a twitter account to be able to do it.  

     

    Here's a quick and dirty tutorial...note, the URL's in my example below have had the http: part stripped outbecause the dang noparse UBB tag doesn't seem to work here right now....DIMES!

     

     

     

    Say there's something someone tweeted that you want to embed in a post here, first you go to their twitter feed (we'll use Coach Miles as an example here).  The URL in your browser will look like this:

     

    //twitter.com/CoachMiles

     

     

     

    Next, find the individual tweet you'd like to embed.  In the upper right-hand corner of the tweet will be a time stamp.  It'll say "3m ago" or "6h ago" or "18 Apr".  If you click on that, you will be taken to a page that displays that individual tweet and it's corresponding conversation thread (if there is any).  The URL there should look like the one above but it adds "/status/bunchanumbershere".  It would be like this:

     

    //twitter.com/CoachMiles/status/324671833980940288

     

    Just copy that link and paste it into a post, et voila!  You have posted a tweet!

    Ah, yes.  Couldn't find that one and I knew I wrote some half-assed tutorial so I found that one.

     

     

     

     

    because the dang noparse UBB tag doesn't seem to work here right now....DIMES!

     

     

    We have a noparse ubb tag?!?!?

     

     

     

    Don't know if this board supports it, but yes, there is [noparse], I've used it elsewhere.

    'Bout damn time. Took him long enough. Mom flies all the way from Ni-frickin-geria for him to commit and he holds off? If I was his mom, I'd beat his ass for that. Kid, I flew all the way from Ni-frickin-geria and you gonna think about it? This here nice man gonna offer you a scholarship to start on your masters' degree and play basketball and you gots to think about it? You better sign your name on that dotted line right now, son, or we're about to have a problem. Mm'hmm, that's right.

    He wanted to wait to announce until after Georgetown's banquet.

    Shows he is a class act. That is being a good repectful teammate.

    While Ayegba/Smith won't make you forget Sampson/Olajawon, think of a front line of Ayegba-Smith-Pitchford. This gives us SO much more size and versatility, can't wait to see what Miles pulls off next.  I'm guessing one of last two scholly's goes to a JUCO wing who can light it up.

    I'll put it on my list to check into.

    It's possible that they way I have twitter embed installed simply bypasses the noparse bbcode

    It also gives us more depth... something we've been lacking since the Nee era.

    At least we know that Moses will become an instant success. I can't believe it took a lot to convince him to leave the most elite college basketball conference in the world. ;)

    I will echo something Normie said...we are now one shooter short, that may be the missing link at this point.  Is that shooter Mr. Fuller?  Will Tai all of a sudden find his range/shot?  Otherwise, we need to get "that guy" for next year.

    Yeah, and we know from 'Requiem for the Big East' that the 'real' Big East conference died a year ago. So, in reality, Moses Ayegba & Kenya Hunter were together for 3 years in the powerhouse 'real' Big East (then Ayegba spent last season in the Big LEast). :D

    I wouldn't expect starters' minutes for Ayegba, even if Moses were to 'start' the ballgame. I'd imagine a three-headed monster in the middle w/ Pitch & Smith also w/ playing time at the 5. Ayegba will be an enforcer who could have a short or long stretch of minutes in the range of 12-20 minutes per game depending on the matchups down low.

    Hope expectattions aint to hi. He got a 7ft wingspan but da brotha couldnt get much PT even doe Gtown lacked post depth all year.

    Why wouldn't there be high expectations?  Of course my definition of a high expectation may differ from yours.  I expect him to provide solid minutes, be a great team player, playing within the role that is defined for him.  I expect him to guard the post, and protect the paint.  I expect him to set terrific picks.  I expect him to rebound, and even if he does not get the board, I expect him to box out the world.  I expect him to score when the opportunity exists.  I expect him to improve his free throw percentage exponentially over his past few years and I expect him to score five to eight points a game.  I expect him to make his teammates better.  And finally I expect him to be a good citizen.

     

    I do not think that those expectations are exceptionally high.  I believe they will be acheived quite frankly.

    He looks pretty well put together:

     

    Markel+Starks+Georgetown+v+DePaul+i6PTID

    He sets a nice screen, too.

     

    As far as expectations, it's a damn site better than leaving the spot open for another year.  Even 15 minutes of big muscles and long wingspan gives us more than what we'd have without him.  And he might yet blossom with a change of scenery.  He might have just needed to get out of G'town.
