it's not so much about the actual blocks themselves, but usually good shot blockers are also great at altering shots and making it difficult to shoot over you. and at the juco level, you'd think a 6'8 guy playing 30+ min could get more than 0.3 blocks per game

seems to be a decent offensive player, but his defense worries me. only blocked 8 shots in 25 games as a starter in juco.

I thought miles was just saying that we passed on a player because we already had enough big guys. and was basically saying we would have added that guy if we had known jordy was leaving.

i would think this staff always has a list of names they keep track of in case of emergency (especially after the andrew white transfer). i would be very surprised if nobody else is added before the semester starts.

this guy is available. started 27 games last year. http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/3155706/hassan-hussein

that site doesn't appear to be updated at all. like 95% of those guys have signed already. not sure what the story is with this kid. former 4 star that left memphis for juco. http://www.verbalcommits.com/players/nick-marshall appears to have missed the 17-18 juco season because of car accident injury in december of 2017. i assume he'd still be eligible if he finished his classes?

that's really all we need. copeland/roby will be getting 32-35 min per game as long as they stay out of foul trouble.

Miles still could have recruited another juco/transfer big guy knowing we had a good chance of losing jordy and/or copeland. he deserves some blame for that, but like i said he has a little time to pull of another evan taylor type signing. we'll see.

Jordy missed games and practices during conference play and told multiple local reporters he was leaving the program back in January. I think i would have just moved on if I was miles. A player committed to the team/program doesn't do that in the middle of conference play.

miles deserves some blame here. jordy wanted out back in january, and miles essentially pleaded for him to stay. the team was playing better without jordy in the starting lineup anyways. and now here we are in late july without a legitimate big guy. brady is barely 200 pounds and borchardt is a 3rd string center at best. unless miles can pull off a evan taylor type signing, this is a bad start to the 18-19 season.

i'm gonna go out on a limb and say he's not coming here. i'd imagine his family doesn't think the most of miles.

doesn't seem to have any offers yet. i would assume we'd at least have a shot given that wade has been on campus multiple times.

i honestly thought he'd been done with college basketball for like 3 years.

there's no guarantee he has a good relationship with gates. gates recruited him and then left, and the school gates recruited him to wouldn't even admit him. just going off the film on youtube, i think harris has a brighter future, but i do think they could both play together in the backcourt. we have harris, allen, nana, thor, davis all as underclassmen backcourt guys on the roster. i'm guessing jordan goes to a school with less guard competition. but if he wants to be here, we should take him for sure.

i just hope the guys are more focused on winning than the nba. just win games and the nba will take care of itself. DiVincenzo was not even projected to get drafted before the tournament and now being projected as a 1st rounder.

hmm. you'd think we'd be hearing more about us trying to get this kid. -he's visited unl several times unofficially -we just hired his lead recruiter from NW -our starting point guard will be gone after this year -we have an open spot -we are also in the B1G just like NW. if we are passing hopefully it's because there is a character issue and not because miles likes to leave an open scholarship.

he either has no sources and made this up, or he's the biggest jack mcveigh fan ever.

i think he's trolling nebraska fans and likely going to San diego. i don't think we're looking to add anyone right now unless it's a big time transfer.

like 90% of the people on here were saying he would redshirt when we signed him.

will he redshirt? i say no unless another player is added to the roster.

they'll be back. palmer has only has 1 season as a starter under his belt. I don't think copeland is ready to settle for a european career. remember that he was a top 25 recruit.

would be my guess but who knows. don't think he'd play much here as freshman unless copeland leaves.

seems like the point guard version of roby. might need a year to develop but could be real good in a couple years.
