Most of us knew dude had talent and he has a chance to play a lot and help our Husker basketball team out. So seeing this is only an added bonus...GBR
I'm excited to see the new-look Hoiskers hopefully we can get off to a better start than last year and carry it into a competitive conference season
“Teddy Allen led all junior college scoring with 31.4 points per game. He shot 51% from the floor, 37% from 3 and 88% from the free throw line during one season at Western Nebraska Community College. Allen, formerly of Boys Town, was the Gatorade Player of the Year in Nebraska in 2017. He had stints at both West Virginia and Wichita State before ending up at WNCC. He committed to Nebraska in the winter and will have two years of eligibility.” I was lazy earlier but now I finally took some time to looked into it and this is a quote via Chris Heady the Omaha World Herald staff writer on Teddy Allen. I’ll post the link below if you want to read up on the other guys we got too. https://www.omaha.com/sports/colleg...cle_21564333-0196-50e2-ae03-8ccaf0f65cec.html
actually it appears everyone of our new guys coming in are also decent to good free throw shooters. Teddy Allen is a 88% FT shooter Lat Mayen is a 81% FT shooter Trey McGowen is a 75% FT shooter Kobe King is a 66% FT shooter Kobe Webster is a 77% FT shooter Trevor Lakes is a 81% FT shooter I couldn’t find a thing about free throw shooting for our new 6’10 center Eduardo Andre but it seems like all of our other new additions are decent to good free throw shooters. I have no clue why our last batch of players struggled so badly at the charity line. But this group appears to be the exact opposite. GBR
If you play basketball, you should be able to make your shots. Not every baskets going to be a dunk unless you're Shaq. And he's the type of guy you foul and put it the line. It's embarrassing when basketball players can't make their free throws. It makes you wonder why they are not practicing they're shooting when they are not playing actual games. At least hoiberg can recruit
After the 8-30 ft shooting against northwestern they shot over 80% in the next 2 then 70% in the last game so Fred must have gotten something turned around a bit
In any sport there are fundamentals. Master those fundamentals and then recruit the best athletes. you should at least be able to shoot the ball regardless of whether you can run or jump. Who cares if you can't finish?
Andre shot 64% from the line his junior year. 54% his sophomore year but only had about 15 attempts that year.
I've seen him every Sat for about the last 5 weeks. This is as trim as Ive seen him ever. I watched him since HS obviously and he's always looked like fitness was a bit of an issue. He looks fantastic right now.
