Thorir thorbdjsjshdhdjjxjxhd commits to Nebrasketball

Should fit right in here....DraftExpress describes him as a "Very inconsistent jump shooter" and the stats seem to back that up (4/28 from 3).
Good luck in Lincoln, and wherever you transfer to next year!
I didn't see any defensive highlights. I guess time will tell if he can master the strategy of sagging off perimeter shooters, baiting them into taking high percentage, uncontested 3 point shots.
I feel like even the biggest TM lovers have started to doubt him.My goodness this thread!!
If a man was in a coma and woke up needing to know the current state of Nebraska basketball, he need only to read this thread and all will be known.
Cmon guys. A kid just commits to NU and all anybody can do is crack jokes about him?????? Really nice.
The clip I watched shows him being defended by a bunch of black guys but what difference does it make. The kid plays internationally.
Some need to read Washut's article on what he brings to the table before knocking the pick up. Averaging 20/game in international play is nothing to scoff at. He could have signed a professional contract but wants to go to college. Very nice pickup that could play right away.
Perfectly normal for grown ups to ridicule a 19 year old's name and talent on an anonymous message board.....You guys are brutal!
I guess he's OK for a guy who's still unsigned on August 7. Good dribbler, likes to drive which fits perfectly in Tim Miles' "offense". But man that jump shot needs lots of work and not sure how quick he will be defensively, doesn't look very explosive to the rim. And playing against an obviously low level of competition.

I was referring to the cracks on Miles and Nebrasketball.
Hey, Dingle. I wasn't knocking the kid at all. I try very hard to avoid harassing our players and coaches in any way. I think that's low class and unacceptable. Some of the comments in here are out of line. I hope the kid thrives and has a great experience at NU.
This board and its people just crack me up. There's some very funny stuff in here.
I wasn't being sarcastic when I said the the kid looked good in the highlight reel - he did. But I'm going to take a wild guess and say the guys defending him are not going to show up in Big Ten starting lineups next season.
Washut could make Shang Ping sound like an All Star. I don't think anybody is knocking the kid, he may turn out to be a good pick up. He's certainly better than not utilizing the scholarship. Worst case scenario he doesn't work out and is pushed out at years end.
That article is Fake News. It says he is a good perimeter shooter when the experts and stats say otherwise.
I'm glad we're actually filling a scholarship, but difference-making recruits do not go unsigned until August 7th. He is a major project that I can't see playing over any of the many other wing players on our roster (Gill, McVeigh, Taylor, Roby, Allen, Palmer, Akenten). We don't really need another wing who can't shoot.....why did we not just keep Aguek Arop?
You forgot that huge game he had against Faroe Islands, he really dropped the hammer on them!
Here's irony for you: Nebraskans knocking the quality of high school basketball in Iceland... or anywhere for that matter.
This board can't get Wistrom and Osborne right, how the hell can they get this kids name lol
Or even worse, Nebraskans knowing how bad the basketball talent is in Nebraska and also knowing what a reach this is.

Read the article. It says he's an inconsistent jump shooter but averaged ~20 in 2016. It also states that his strengths are his ability to handle the ball (at 6'5"), slash to the hoop, shoot floaters, or dish to perimeter shooters. Hardly fake news. Sounds a lot like Tai Webster who we need to replace. Potential help this late with international experience is a good thing.
