Other than the potential transfer from Princeton (Brase?), does anyone know of who else NU Basketball may be recruiting now as Graduate transfer(s)? Aga? Others?

I'm not sure who else we're recruiting, but wouldn't count on either Brase or Agau. Brase is currently visiting Iowa State and Agau is visiting Illinois.

I have no insider info, but visiting another school doesn't rule out where they land. I believe Morrow visited with Iowa State and ended up at Marquette. It would be foolish for any player transferring to not check out a couple options.

I wonder of NU Basketball has even expressed any interest in Agau? Wouldn't it be something if he commits to Illinois and then puts up about 15 points and 10 rebounds on us?

It isn't like he didn't have an opportunity in Lincoln the first time around. TM recruited him pretty hard and lost out. Some how Agau maybe just doesn't want to be in Lincoln.

I agree with your comment.....but NU B-Ball must start getting some players from Omaha, Lincoln, etc. to commit & play @ NU.

Don't disagree with you, but are there any players that can play BIG ball. I'm sure there are jacobson talents available

From scuttlebutt I hear (yes, that's a real word), Omaha coaches do not trust Miles. I believe it had something to do with how Deverell Biggs was treated, and then Aguek Arop.

I believe that there are, but quite often local talent seems to get held to a higher standard. Jacobson, by the way, can play in the Big 10. There's no reason to expect that he won't play good basketball as a 4th & 5th year four man coming off sitting out a year. He's got a nice looking shot. It may start falling after a year in the weight room and shooting 1000 shots a day.

Didn't Miles have a kid from Ralston on his CSU team that was a solid contributor. I think he recruited him straight from high school

Ummm- my comment was a shot at the Tar Heels academic scandal. I don't really believe they are recruiting him. Sorry you can't type in a sarcasm font. No harm no foul.

Keeping a scholarship for a higher end player over a mid-level player for an immediate bandaid makes sense. But doing the right thing doesn't fit your agenda.

I agree for the most part, this year is a bit more urgent, and would be nice to fill the class for his sake.

Only issue is there aren't many left that would actually contribute right now like he needs anyway.

Miles likely isn't going to be here past next year anyway, so no it doesn't really make sense. And if Miles is retained for some reason, 3 more starters will probably leave and he'll end up not filling that scholarship again anyway. Rinse and repeat.

Brase to ISU today so it would seem that closes the door for Jacobsen at ISU. Man I wish Jacobsen would reconsider and come back.

Not that I necessarily expect Jacobson to end up at ISU, but Brase's signing shouldn't preclude him from going there. Brase is a graduate transfer who will be gone by the time Jacobson is eligible to play.

How many scholarships does ISU have available?

He sucks anyway, right, so why would YOU want him back? It's perfectly normal and OK to be losing 4 kids to transfers. All is well within our basketball program. Nothing to worry about. Sigh..

There you go again. I never once said that Jacobsen sucked. Not once. Not even remotely. In fact I was accused on multiple occasions of pumping up his ability too much. Sigh.....:rolleyes:

You've said he shouldn't be a starter on a B1G team, didn't you? You also said that we wouldn't miss him, didn't you? That's pretty much the equivalent of saying he sucks.

What good does arguing among yourselves do? Neither wins the he said/he said argument. Many are more interested in dialogue about who are potential recruits including graduate transfers going forward.

I posted that Ed shouldn't probably be a starter on a B1G team. I don't recall ever saying that about Jacobsen. I also do not recall ever saying that either guy "wouldn't be missed". So once again you keep making crap up to fit your twisted agenda.

None but I won't sit back and let somebody continue to make false claims about what I've posted about players. I'm as sick of his bickering as you are.

Seems to be an absence of any information now about who NU Basketball might be recruiting? Anyone have any information?

You may not recall saying they won't be missed, but you did say the equivalent.
