I think that might be water under the bridge as Aguek Arop did, in fact, go to a prep school (as Miles suggested he do) and then Aguek received a great offer to San Diego St. I doubt there's acrimony unless a coach perpetuates this sentiment through something happening over & over. This Arop is at Prep, so I'd say there's a chance for very good NU vibes with Kenya Hunter's son having played there.

Watched every game last year and the only time I saw Roby come out was when he was in foul trouble or when a natural rest break would be needed. He was not held back, he was not limited on his involvement. Much of the two-man game was designed for him. Hell, Miles restructured everything so he could get him on the floor more. His tendency to get in foul trouble was the only thing that led to the limited avg for minutes per game that you showed above.

Very comfortable in the pick and roll. Would like to see some of that with Roby when he is in the game. Great passer out of the pick and roll and good first step. Doesn't elevate to finish as well as I would hope. Doesn't shoot as well as I would hope. Shot looks kind of flat to me. Jury still out for me.

Happened back in May. I'm not quite sure how it works, though. He shows up as 141 in their own rankings and 135 in their composite. Yet they show only one major service as having evaluated him (which would be them, I believe). So how is his composite ranking higher than his 247 ranking? I don't get it. But one of the 247 guys saw him play in the spring and was impressed.

I wasn't suggesting you were. I was just saying I really don't know what qualifies as "prominent people around the basketball program."

I don't believe what happened between Nebraska and Aguek will have too much of an impact on what Akol chooses to do. We've already seen Akol go out and make his own choices with him going to Creighton Prep over Omaha South for high school (South thought he was going there; they even had him on their bench at state as an eighth grader IIRC), and he has a different group around him offering advice/mentorship. Right now, Nebraska is Akol's best offer by far. We'll see what the next two weekends bring, but Nebraska's in a good place right now, I'd say. I highly doubt he turns down Nebraska to go to UNO or UAB.

We should never be second to a soccer school

I don't know exactly what qualifies as "prominent people." If it is an assistant coach then I suppose he should listen. I suppose the athletic director would count as prominent. But no athletic director of any quality would try to dictate specific tactics to a coach. If by prominent you mean a booster then I would say no coach of any intelligence would listen to a booster try to talk tactics. Now I suppose a coach might have to pretend to listen politely to any booster arrogant enough to think they were qualified to make suggestions but they wouldn't listen. So I guess I still don't know what qualifies as "prominent people."

Arop? Haven't heard that name in years

Give me two Richard Van Poelgeests and a David Ponce.
