Here’s a video I hadn’t seen before:

It looks like this is the reason: “Heiman’s rapid physical gains.” On the recent photos, it looks like he’s gained considerable physical maturity.

You didn’t read the article, right?

Maybe. But Woolridge also played his final college year (after transferring and sitting out) while Strickland was off in the pros.

The “Who is ‘better’” debate has a long history of being wrong. The truth is that no one knows, or can predict, how each player will turn out. And fan preferences on “better” can depend more on teams the fan roots for than on the actual skill of the players. Take, for example, the Woolridge/Strickland years. Everyone knew in high school — for certain — that Woolridge was better. But it didn’t turn out that way over the many years that followed. And those high school comparisons probably led to Woolridge transferring to Iowa, when the realities of Strickland’s capabilities became apparent during their freshman year.

As of now—Brady is not redshirting. Robin Washut explains in today’s Tunnel Talk.

Gotta love the new effort toward Nebraska kids. This effort will have its future rewards and will elevate high school basketball in this state like nothing else can!

Rivals has a Mika "Forecast" as 100% Nebraska. Not sure what that means, exactly, or where/who it comes from. But it's nice to see, nonetheless.

According to the Omaha World-Herald, the best 2018 player in Nebraska is now playing at Nebraska: “Brady Heiman, a Nebraska signee, is the No. 1 boys basketball player in Nebraska for the 2018 class.”

But . . . at least half of Mika’s highlights are driving to the rim. Sometimes he’s not very close to the rim when he finishes, but that’s still a part of a drive.

Also . . . he had a national rank of 127 and New York State rank of 10 by Future 150. And he entered the 1,000 point club on January 6, 2017.

He may not play close to the rim, but he had at least three dunks in the preceding video . . . and a finger role at the rim.
