The Central kids have played together more, but it's not like they all played together since they were young as many transferred in from different schools or junior highs.

The problem that BCS teams run into is that it takes a certain type of athlete (or at least that is what most coaches think) to play at the high level of play in those conferences but some athletes are not always great shooters. I think a lot of shooters get crossed of the list by BCS coaches because they don't think they are good enough athletes to hold there own at that level and there are only so many good athlete, great shooters to go around.

The thing about Coach Herriman going to Texas that seems odd to me is I would have thought they would send Coach Hunter if the visit was for Robinson. Or did they both go?

You beat me to it Norm by seconds.

Is anybody else reading anything into the fact that Coach Herriman tweeted that he is headed to Dallas? He is not really hiding anything there. (if his trip is connected to Robinson)

That's the one. Thanks.

I think Hahn from Fremont, Hagedorn from Norfolk the kid from North Sioux City that I can't remember and others. I think Coach Miles does a good job of touching base with some local kids that have potential, just in case they develop their game to be a Big Ten player. I'm guessing it will be a mix of 2014, 2015 and maybe 2016 classes.

I believe Coach Miles has some local talent coming in for a weekend unofficial visit. Sounds like they will play some pick-up games and attend the football game and tour the new arena.

Georgetown doing it big four big time commits!!!! Washut retweets E. Robinson He sounds excited.

They make it sound like conferences are all the same in all sports. The Big 10 is much, much, tougher in basketball than football and most years the Big 8/12 was much better or had a lot more depth in basketball than football.

Who-wool-la-jecky is pretty close I think! When I saw him he was obviously a good athlete with a nice shot and good ball handling skills. Maybe not a Big 10 player now but has a ton of potential and is someone to keep an eye on if he improves his skill set. Just going to be a junior this year.

I just call him Malik Alphabet! He just keeps getting better and better as a basketball player. It will be interesting to see what sport (or sports) he decides to play in college.

Bellevue West's Malik Hluchoweckyj (@Malik_ABC) tells me he's getting interest from Nebraska for football, basketball and track. #Huskers From Robin Washut on twitter

Can we start the clearinghouse process now?!!!

I guess we are not the only program with an open scholarship this late in the game.

The website for the Bison team is: nbda.net Click on the "red team" and that will give you a roster and tournaments. The White and Gold teams are younger kids.

Wow, when you look over that list of players that were suppose to be our top recruits you see a lot of names that really did not pan out. Sallie was a good player, but I don't think he was nearly as good as people here in Nebraska made him out to be. Harris was okay, but not close to a game changer. Diaz never really had the fire to be a big time player. Niemann had major injury issues, but I don't think many really expected him to be a game changer either. Joaquim has been better than I thought he would be and Standhardinger did not ever seem to really fit in with the system or his teammates. Looking back, I'm not sure how much we really missed out on with these guys. It's more like we played the "what if" game with some of these guys and built them up to be better than they were or are.

Robin Washut tweeted we might be to late to get a visit from Uchebo.
