LJS: NU's Smith brings smarts, athleticism to point guard He decided to take business calculus as his first college course in June....... Smith, a business administration major, had a high school grade-point average on the north side of 4.0 and was valedictorian of his senior class at St. Anthony’s High School in Jersey City, New Jersey....... Remember that when you hear Nebraska coach Tim Miles talk about Smith’s intelligence and high basketball IQ......... “He might be our most athletic kid on the team,” Miles said. “The other day he went down the lane in one of our workouts and went off his wrong foot, his left foot, and dunked it left-handed over like Moses (Abraham) or Walt (Pitchford) or somebody like that. “You’re like, ‘What just happened?’ That’s hard to do. At least, it’s hard for me to do.” Just got to like the kind of recruits Miles attracts (and the staff he is building)!

Thanks for sharing and the Link, Norm! Great Promo!

Hi HB, Myself, I'm not so sure Petteway is a lock to 'go pro' after this year. Not to be contrary; you're a much better judge of things MBB than I (come to think of it, FB too). I don't believe it's a question of talent, desire, or 'being ready', as much as it might be a matter of loyalty (I know, is there any, anymore?). From what I've been reading TP is so glad to be at Nebraska; he would only continue to languish at TT. I think a lot may depend on what happens this season: Where do we end up in the B1G? Will we make the Dance again? Will we win our first Tourney game? How deep will we go? Will TP feel that he's leaving the program in good hands, or could he anticipate playing with the 'new' players and believe his contributions could be important for the next season? One thing that may be in our favor, it seems there is much less risk of players suffering a career-ending injury in BB than in, say FB. Anyway, I expect to enjoy the coming season, and every game, as if it might be TP's last. Serendipity, Red Don (Oh, & btw thanks for showing me this site, I'll learn a lot about BB)

Good idea, Thanks AH. I checked Coach Miles Twitter & the only thing was the same photo as above fm the OWH. (As a techno illiterate, I don't know if there's another place on twitter that I should check.) I was hoping one of the fans in the stadium might have captured the event on his video cam.

I just re-watched the Miami Game on the DVR. There was nothing shown on TV re: Tim Miles, or the Basketball Team. Does anyone have any video they took of the event they would care to share, or Post? (I'd love to see Miles (& Tai) doing the NZ War dance) (First post for a former Lurker. Found this site thanks to HB. Thanks HB!)
