Gotcha. I don't have Twitter and thought he was signing his LOI this morning.

I’ve been refreshing our Huskers.com roster all day too, Norm. I’m gonna guess he’s listed at 6’8” 245.

Jared Dudley has earned a spot on that “sloppy body all-american” squad. Brian Scalabrine comes to mind, as well.

Luke Maye had offers from Clemson and Notre Dame and chose to walk on at UNC

Terry Nolan committed to Bradley

I’d be happy with one more grad transfer. Then leave one scholarship for whichever comes first of Ntambwe/mid-year transfer/open for 2020 recruit (assuming Roby leaves). I think Ntambwe is gonna be a star wherever he ends up and I’d prefer it to be at Nebraska.

Cross already posted his commitment video to his Instagram page. He's N!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVqSVD558LA Paul Millsap when he was at Louisiana Tech is my comparison. Great rebounding instincts, very physical, uses his body well but played below the rim most of the time. Tyler Cook was an unbelievable athlete and very polished at that age. I remember watching his high school highlights and seeing him do in-game windmill dunks regularly.

Even better! That’s a chiseled 240 pounds. Especially for a 17 year old with a legit 6’8” frame. Physically he’s ready to go.

Not for sure, my guess is in shoes. But it’s all relative, right? When Shavon Shields was going through pre-draft workouts, he was measured at 6’5” without shoes and just under 6’7” with shoes, and we had him listed as 6’7” on our roster.

I’m not sure, sorry.

He was measured at 6’8 with a 7’ wingspan on his visit at Nebraska

When I heard Steve Kerr talk about the difficulty of matching the Rockets physicality, referring to Eric Gordon and PJ Tucker as middle linebackers, my mind immediately went to Jervay Green and Shamiel Stevenson. These dudes look like D1 linebackers who happen to be very skilled basketball players. Mack and Burke carry themselves with a ton of confidence. Cheatham was one of the best perimeter defenders in the Big East for two years and is a vocal leader. This team is going to have a moxie about it that was missing on the 2018/19 team.

The leading rebounder in the big ten this year was 6'6". We need some post depth, but I couldn't care less how tall the player is. Stevenson has the length, strength and athleticism to be a very good rebounder.

Davis had an offer from K-State out of high school. But I'm not sure high major schools would want to use a scholarship on a kid who hasn't proven himself at that level, and who has had the injuries he's had. We'll see.

It'll be telling when we see where these guys end up transferring to. I'd imagine Amir, Brady, Nana and Karrington will not be playing for power 5 conference teams in the future. Shoot, some of them wouldn't have been on a power 5 team out of high school if we didn't offer. The first time the coaching staff met with the media, Abdelmassih slipped up and said something along the lines of, "The cupboard is pretty much bare right now." During those individual workouts they held, imagine what these coaches thought when they saw Amir's shot and Nana's ball handling abilities. These aren't high major guards/wings.

That extra weight looks a lot different on him than it did on McCray though...

An interesting comparison of measurables: Stevenson - 6'6" 245 with a 6'11" wingspan Heiman - 6'11" 215 with a 6'9.25" wingspan (measurement taken during his senior year of high school) Not bashing Brady, I think he'll be a contributor wherever he ends up. But it's rare to see a basketball player with a wingspan that's shorter than their height.

6-11 wingspan and 40 inch vertical. At 6-6, Bonzie Colson played a lot at the 5 for Notre Dame because of his 6-11 wingspan and leaping ability. I like this.

I’m not sure if this means anything, but I might as well pass along what I’ve heard - All the players met with Hoiberg last week. Brady scheduled his meeting before his test because he already had all his stuff packed up and was planning to head home right after his last final. If that’s true, then Chris Heady’s headline, which was the trigger for the social media uproar about Hoiberg’s handling of Brady, was pretty misleading.

Yep, I'm with ya. I should've expanded on those thoughts in my post.

That's true. But that's not Hoiberg's fault. I'm sure Washut regrets reporting it when he did.

Where was this pushback when Miles “mutually parted ways” with Bakari Evelyn, Dedoch Chan and Jacob Hammond? He even told the media about the tough conversations he’d have to have with some players following certain seasons. This happens every year all over college basketball, with coaches who actually recruited the players they end up letting go. It sucks, but it happens. And the players understand it.

Agreed that Kavas might be a defensive liability. But this staff definitely prioritized offense over defense at Iowa State, as apposed to Miles who wouldn't play a guy if he couldn't defend his position, even if he was talented offensively (Jeriah Horne). We might have to get used to that (personally I prefer it). You're right, all speculation. Heck, Roby might not even be back next year. In that case, I'd probably have Johnson starting with the four guards surrounding him and Kavas as the 6th man... All the different potential lineups we could run out there are fun to think about.
