Some good stuff on there of Jordy working out. Ranging from weights to basketball drills with the post players. Looks like Fuller, Morrow, and Jacobson are also present. Didn't happen to see Horne in any of the clips however.

Oh well. Would have liked to land him but not landing him means we have more leeway with the '17 cycle and makes it more likely that we keep our core of young players intact. Paul White would have been competing with Morrow, Jacobson, and Horne for playing time which means we would more than likely lose one. That chance decreases if he White decides to go elsewhere.

I think we will be alot better this year than last. The loss at Ohio State is an easy pick. I went with Indiana bc Mike Riley is notorious for a let down game throughout his career, so this seems like the perfect trap game. I went with Wisconsin bc there's no way I feel comfortable picking us to win 10 regular season games and @Wisconsin seems like the toughest game left on our schedule.

I'm calling 9-3 (6-3) with losses @Indiana, @Wisconsin, and @Ohio State.

Is he by any chance squeezing in another visit this weekend? I thought he would've announced by now.

I can kinda see why he made the Arop - Morrow comparison at first glance but it's not a very thorough comparison. Both: -are good rebounder -can dunk on anybody (at their respective levels) -aren't known to be able to score away from the rim.

6'8 195lbs SF. 4 star Top 100 recruit according to ESPN.

My counter argument against the Arop missed his prime recruiting window (which I partly agree with) is that even if teams weren't going to games to directly watch him, they were still going to watch his teammates and his opponents. So if he was making plays and seemed like a really solid to good player I guarantee you coaches are going to remember that and be in contact with him.

Anybody know what kind of interest Arop is pulling? I've heard Denver has offered and that's about it. If he falls to a Summit League caliber school UNO has to grab him. There's enough low to mid level D1 talent in this 2017 class where UNO could fill their whole class without leaving the state. (Arop, Wingett, Chandler, Strom, Akinwole)

He would be ahead of only Malcolm Laws.

Yikes. Gesell as a SG... no thank you.

Either way if we take Arop he more than likely wouldn't contribute until 3-4 years into his career and you guys (you know who you are) would be crying and complaining, begging for him to transfer and stop wasting a scholarship bc you have no concept of player development. Just like you did with Tai. Miles made the move he felt was best for the program and I hope it works out for us and best of luck to Arop. Wherever he lands will be lucky to have such a hard working, smart, and good basketball player.

You're right let's fire Miles today and lose half of the top 150 talent we have accumulated and get to work on sifting through the long list of candidates that are lining up to take the Nebraska Men's Basketball HC job.

Gotta love the guy trying so hard to get clicks! Makes me appreciate good journalism that much more.

In the same segment Dirk also describes Arop as an undersized SF with a damaged ACL and a shaky jumpshot. Definitely sounds like he could knock out Webster, Roby, or McVeigh out of the top 9... by TOMORROW.

Does anyone else just freaking hate Dirk Chatelian??? Here's a clip from today's Mad Chatter: "He (Arop) could walk in to PBA tomorrow and crack Nebraska's rotation, partly bc Nebraska's rotation isn't very good." What a clown. In what world would Arop be able to play over anyone in our rotation this year or even next year. And I'm not trying to knock Arop as I wanted him to come here but even I saw him as a redshirt guy who doesn't crack the lineup until his RSo or RJr year.

Yes this will hurt Arops recruiting to some degree but either way if his AAU play was that good other coaches would have taken notice and will definitely remember to give him a call. With that being said, I really wish we would have kept Arop as he is a great defender and has very good athleticism. He will be a very good college basketball player by the end of his collegiate career.

I do wonder if Miles prep school and reclassification plan was genuine or if it was just for show and he didn't want to straight up pull an offer of an instate kid who has been 100% committed to the university since before his sophomore year.

Athletics is a cutthroat business. If Miles didn't think Arop had developed like he had anticipated and wasn't deserving of a scholarship than it is his obligation to pull it and find someone who is. However, I do feel for Arop as all of his best recruiting days are behind and he seems like he is destined for a lower level school. I hope he ends up at UNO but wish him the best of luck wherever he lands.

Just seems like we have typically had 3 to 4 walkons a season during Miles tenure and currently only have one. So I'm assuming we would add some more but I have no information on it. Was hoping someone on here might have an idea or some inside knowledge on it.

Well Robin had some info as well that said they are looking at multiple options with him including going to a prep school for a year.I just heard the podcast and Sharpe and Benning make it sound like all ties are cut. Any chance you can lead me to the Robin Washut info? I haven't seen it on his twitter yet. Rivals. Out of courtesy to Robin posting paid content isn't allowed here. I understand that. I am a rivals member and usually he tweets links to his articles (and says whether they are free or not) on twitter but I haven't seen anything about it yet. That's what I was getting at.

Any news on the class of walkons for this year? Seems like we should be adding two to three pretty soon.

Hope that's not true. I'll wait to hear something more official though as a talk show hosts' job is to do just that: talk.

I believe I read he visited Miami and Georgetown coming out of high school. So it's prob us, Oregon, or Miami.
