I was of course disappointed about Tummala signing with AZ State but Herbert fills more of a void being more of a 4-5 player instead of a wing like Sai. If he can play, and we do land him, it could be a very good fit for us.

What time zone is this guy in! Some place west of Hawaii? Maybe it is still late afternoon there!

The longer he waits the less I like our chances of landing him.

Hope they are in order!

So if we go back, say about 40 years we have the following list of 4 year, non foreign true post scholarship players: J. Turek M. Moore V. Hamilton R. King D. Hoppen A. Smith C. McPipe (I can't remember Cox or MacFarlene, CWG you will have to help me out if these two made the qualifications for the list) That is really a short list considering we are going back 40 years. Some really good players though.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Lively left after a year or two and Wilbrand was not on scholarship.

Was Chandler a 4 year player? I thought of Conklin more of a 4 man.

With the recent search we are conducting to find a big to fill out our roster I was just thinking how tough it has been for NU to find quality post players. There are not a lot to go around and of course your big name schools usually pick over the cream of the crop so the rest are left searching for a late bloomer or a diamond in the rough or have to take a chance on someone as far as character or grades go. My question is: How many true post players has Nebraska recruited over the years that spent four years here and were not from a foreign country? I don't really count Ubel as I saw him as more of a 4 man having to play the 5 spot. I can only think of John Turek (Collier guy) Mikki Moore (Nee) and Venson Hamilton (Nee). That is going back a ways. Hamilton was a late sign if I remember right because of grade issues and Moore was a project that did bloom late but was not highly recruited. Any other names? I think it just shows that you can find some good guards and wing players but there just are not that many bigs to go around. (We were really lucky to have a Hoppen and a King to come out of our own state years back)

Hey, let's get the names right here! (die gas pumper!)

That would make a difference! Hope your right.

I agree that this would be a huge "get" for the Huskers but did I miss something that said we have a chance to get this guy other than a tweet that said we might go after him? Does our staff have any connections here, or is it more just wishful thinking and speculation? Not to be a buzz kill but why us?

Ask Hugh how big of a "jerk" I can be!

Okay, I will join the conversation. First time to post on this board but use to post on older Husker boards. I enjoy hearing people's opinions and I joined so I could read the recruiting board. I choose not to post mostly because of my profession. Not that I'm an insider with the program or anything like that. I'm also an old roommate of Hugh42. Go Huskers!
