Where is Jordy at? Am I blind?

I'm really not trying to be a downer, but his 3pt % is really bad! I would like NU to get a "Shooting Guard" that can shoot damnit!

If Roby does not start I will be shocked... in a pick up game I take Roby 10 times out of 10 over Taylor... I know they play different positions, but Watson Palmer Roby Copeland Jordy or Watson Taylor Roby Copeland Jordy Looks a lot better than Watson Taylor Palmer Copeland Jordy I guess I see Taylor as a role player, and I see Roby as an all around star type player

First let me say that the talent on this years team is far greater than 14-15, but there were players that under performed that year I think the following would of had a say in who started Petteway - for sure Shields - 90% sure... Although we have more athletic guys right now Webster - 75% sure... He was a hyped player coming in Pitchford - 100% to start the season (Basing this on the 13-14 season production)... but his lack of production in 14-15 leads me to believe he would of been benched for Roby Smith - 50% sure... His lack of size tells me it would be 50/50 on who starts between Leslee Smith and Jordy Problem is Watson starts over all of them, so obviously one of them does not start Watson > Parker Petteway > Palmer Roby > Pitchford (I still believe Pitchford gets the nod if our mindset is after the 13-14 season) Copeland > Shields Jordy > Smith In my opinion these 5 with our mindset going into 14-15 would be legit D1 players PG - Parker SG - Petteway SF - Shields PF - Petteway C - Smith Did it turn out that way, that is another story!

Wow didn't know Allen had the range to be a PF... Not many 6'0 PF's in D1 ball that I know of

The answer to your 1st question is yep PG: Watson SG: Palmer SF: Roby PF: Copeland C: Jordy I'm sure one out of this list could be a 6th man Nana Allen Duby McVeigh Taylor Gill The answer to your second question is the year after we went dancing. Hell we were pre-season top 25

Yeah he goes to a catholic school. He did the CYO/PAL last year, and he is doing the fall OSA Conqueror league with the high school team this year I believe. I'm looking for a team that has a "Basketball Coach" and not a dad that volunteers without having to fork over a mortgage payment.

Thanks for some advice. I play with my son at least 3 times a week, but I want him to learn the game of basketball. I have a hard time teaching that in my driveway! He has the fundamentals down, meaning he can pass, shoot and dribble. Not saying he couldn't get better at that stuff, but I'm not as worried about that aspect at the moment. What I am looking for is someplace that will teach him about spacing, and court vision. He is 9, so his shot is not perfect but looks decent when he is set. He is the tallest kid on his team, and he plays point guard and post. He is the best ball handler on the team, but being 4'11 at 9 years old I know that is not going to be his position in the future. I just want him around other good players to start knowing the sport itself, and know it is a team sport. I try to drill it in him that Blocks, Rebounds, Assists and Steals are just as important as scoring points. I brought him to an open gym at Burke and they split the kids up in groups of 3. They paired him up with a boy who had a cast on one arm and a 1st grade girl. So it was basically him verse 3, and I was just extremely upset about it because it does not help him with the game of basketball when stuff like that happens. He would pass it to them and they would lose it, or they would just chuck it up. So for the most part he dribbled around by himself a shot it. He scored every one of their baskets, and it taught him how to be a ball hog. So the big thing here is I want him to learn the game of basketball and where to be at on the court. He used to play for OSA inhouse, now he just plays for his school team. He is not getting the game of basketball taught to him, he just continues to go over stuff I can do with him in my driveway. Sorry guys I'm just stuck right now on what would be best for him. I may look into TNE/Express, but I really want no politics involved. Meaning I know this kids parents, so he gets to play on "this team" kind of stuff.

Hey guys I debated on even asking this here, but I am struggling trying to find the right amount of basketball for my 9 year old son 1. We have an adjustable in the ground hoop in our driveway 2. We have 2 courts in our neighborhood park 3. I sent him to some UNO Camps So what I am looking for is something other than ridiculously priced basketball option for my son who absolutely loves it, but my wife and I don't want to spend $1100 for OSA or $800 for school of hoops Can someone let me know where I can get my son some extra playing time with gids around his age

I'm not Dean Smith... but I've heard he has cried in frustration from a coach I know that coached against him. I can't say that is fact, but my friend that is a coach has no reason to lie about something like that

All I can say is I have my fingers crossed he can take his game to another level, because at the moment I am not sure he'd play at a Division II school let alone the Big 10. Not sure if any of you watched the state game where they played Alliance, but Austin Luger a 6'8 200 player for Alliance made Heiman look like a deer in headlights. Heiman was 2/13 with 4pts... where his counter part Luger was 10/20 for 23pts In my personal opinion he isn't even the best player on his Class B team... that honor goes to Nate Thayer.

The one thing I noticed right off the bat is that he never finishes with his right hand. I do like the flow he plays with and his aggressivness.

I agree with this I think by conference play Allen may take Palmer's spot. One thing I know is that they need to make Roby believe he is the man, because if he gets the confidence he needs he is going to be one of the best players ever to put on a Nebraska basketball Jersey. I see NBA all over this kid!

I think of Charles Richardson too... It felt like he was here for 10 years but I definitely got to throw Petteway into that list

Not seeing it... Nana and Wilson play the same position. That position is not our biggest need right now either

Boy I really hope you are joking! Here is a laundry list of Omaha Mexican food places that are better than weak ass Julio's. Hell El Bee's and OJ's are better than Julio's Cilantro's is the best "Chain" Mexican in Omaha Abelardo's (Fast Food) Lina's (Fast Food) Howards Charro Victor's Guaca Maya Don Gaby's El Rancho Azteca And just about every restaurant south of 24th and L Street Edit: Also want to give a shout out to Jacobo's(Grocery Store) because you can buy Carnita's by the pound there and their chips and salsa are cheap and delicious!

Yes, I truly felt Shields lacked athletic ability and that is what held him back. Morrow is explosive, athletic and a physical presence... I would pick Morrow over Shields in a game of pick up if I had Webster and Watson on my team. Shields could get to the rack, but his lack of athleticism made it tough for him to score. If I had to put in a line up Morrow misses the cut, because of his size and Jordy takes his spot G - Watson G - Webster G - Petteway G - White F - Morrow My gut is telling me in 2 years the line up will be G - Allen (I just have a feeling him and Watson are going to be special) G - Watson (Could be the best Guard since Lue) G - Petteway (Best scorer at Nebraska since the 90's) F - Roby (If this kid gets confidence he will be in the draft, and will have a banner hung in PBA) C - Jordy (True Center with NBA potential) or G - Watson G - Petteway F - Roby F - Copeland (Like Allen jury is out with him, but I have feeling we are going to be impressed) C - Jordy

Tanner B. of course

Base on the most talent on the roster 1. 2015-2016 2. 2016-2017 3. 2013-2014 4. 2014-2015 5. 2012-2013 Most talented Miles players... Shavon is not in the Top 5 sorry guys... If it was most heart he would be. 1. Terran Petteway 2. Glynn Watson 3. Andrew White III 4. Tai Webster 5. Ed Morrow Players that have potential to make the Top 5 list above on our current roster Thomas Allen Isaiah Roby Jordy Tshimanga Isaac Copeland Nana Akanten ^^^ These guys have potential through the roof I am very excited to see them play

Where is Palmer? I think he should be somewhere i the 6-8 range on your list

We need a Wing and a Big... we have 6 guards now with Allen in the fold and only 3 Wings and 1 Big

Guards Watson Allen Gill Taylor (Can play SF) Palmer (Can play SF) Nana Wings McVeigh Copeland Roby +1 Posts Tshimanga +1 In my opinion we can win some games with one more serviceable Post player. I really like the thought of the following line ups. I REALLY like the Watson/Allen back court, and I really like our two wings in Copeland and Roby Starting line up Watson Allen Roby Copeland Jordy AND our shooting... Watson Allen Nana McVeigh Jordy AND our athletic line up... Watson Allen Nana Roby Copeland AND even a Physical line up... Gill Taylor Palmer Copeland Jordy There is a lot of versatility with the 10 players we have Minutes... Watson - 35 Allen - 30 Copeland - 30 Jordy - 25 Roby - 25 Nana - 15 McVeigh - 15 Taylor - 10 Palmer - 10 Gill - 5

Welcome aboard! Now all we need is some help for Jordy, and we will be a good bball team again

Copeland may have more versatility, but Morrow was a Rodman clone. You can't teach the instinct that Morrow had! Please quit trying to spin that Morrow is not a huge loss. I would like to see Morrow still here with Copeland, but hey maybe that is just me. Losing Horne, Jacobson and Fuller is not that big of a deal if you ask me, but throwing Morrow in the mix makes losing Jacobson hurt more. Horne Pros He can shoot He is a decent rebounder Cons Terrible at decision making Rushed shots Wanted to be more than what he was Not good at ball handling Morrow Pros Best rebounder on the team Explosive Intimidating Spark Plug Decent Shot Blocker Cons Could not shoot Predictable Could not get the pass out down Jacobson Pros Good at offensive rebounds Good Free Throw Shooter Excellent at effort plays Cons Poor shot selection Limited athletically Offensive Liability Fuller Pros Glue Guy Played harder than anyone on the team Cons Do I really need to go here?

If Morrow isn't the last, Miles needs to be let go ASAP. If it is Glynn Watson you are talking about, he needs to have his contract burned. Morrow and Watson are (were) the Face of Nebraska basketball and losing Morrow means all what I was defending Miles for is out the window!
