  1. When I see a (4*) power forward who is at least 6-9 who can actually drive, shoot and REBOUND, then I will get a little bit excited.  Right now there 4 teams in the big ten that are just reloading and we are still trying to compete with big 10 average talent upgrades (3*s).  Look at the other big ten teams and see who they recruit. We' are not that much better.

    #Nebrasketball has reportedly landed JUCO freshman Blaise Keita from Mali.

    Keita is a 6'10" 230# traditional post player with 3 years of eligibility left.

     

    Keita currently is playing for Coffeyville Community College and is averaging 12pts and 8 reb through 8 games.  Another familiar name on the Coffeyville roster is Nebraska offer Markeith Browning.  Prior to college, Keita attended prep powerhouse Sunrise Academy in Kansas where he was a teammate of current Creighton player Shereef Mitchell.  Keita also played for the Mali U17 national team.  

     

    Blaise Keita is the first known commit for Nebraska's class of 2022


  3. 6’6”, skilled, athletic, long, and an elite shooter.  He’s a prototype NBA shooting guard.  He doesn’t need to play within a system to score as he’s comfortable pulling up from anywhere outside of the 3pt line and scoring one on one.  He can be effective as a combo guard for sure.  I’m guessing he’ll play off the ball primarily and help at point.  If you’re talking Banton/Allen, he’s basically both.  

     

    Andrew White + ballhandling skillset

     

    After watching his highlights, I was thinking Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics.

  4. One noteworthy thing: If my math is correct, we have 1 spot currently available for 2021 recruits. We've made about 7 new offers as of Monday to 2021 recruits. ALL OF THEM are high school kids. All of them. (So, Donovan Williams was ... mistaken?)

     

    It seems pretty remarkable to me that we'll likely have no more than 2 total freshmen and sophomores on the team next year (not this one, but the next one after this year). The rest of the players will be juniors and seniors.

     

    Which means we're just a couple of years away from another virtually complete roster overhaul.

     

    With the era of no-sit transferring soon to be upon us, maybe that's no big deal. Maybe we're better off relying on free-agency rather than developing draft picks.

     

    But it'll kinda change the vibe on senior night when, instead of looking back fondly on the video clips of a kid playing here as a freshman and then as a senior, looking at your roster and saying , "OK, now who is that guy?"

     
    I'm confused.  Are not the 7 new offers (and now 10 or 11) for 2022.  We should have ~6 openings.  Also I read that Trevor Lakes is now a Graduate transfer.  Is that true?  If so, that would be another opening in 2021.
  5. I'm not sure this chart really compares apples to apples.  For one thing a school could have a great recruiting class, but the results of that effort may not be seen for 2 or 3 years.  This list shows the same 4 years of recruiting with the record for the same 4 years.  How does it handle a graduate transfer?  Look at Texas Tech.  Not a great recruit status, but a few graduate transfers and they almost win it all.  Some schools on this list recruit a lot of one and done players.  Those freshmen are much better that the 3* that other schools get, and their results show up on the chart.  Kansas, Duke etc.  How did Gonzaga look so bad on the recruiting?  Is that because their conference is so weak?
