Meh. The article I read says he isn't a great outside shooter. We need a guard that can shoot
averaged >10 pts in the Vegas AAU tourney. We'll see how much we need him to shoot from the perimeter but I'll take a guy who can go to the hoop and dish or get to the free throw line. True point guard. Tyron Lue wasn't a great perimeter shooter either when he came to NU.

I agree we need shooters but he looks to be a very good compliment to Thomas Allen who comes in with a reputation as a very good shooter. Obviously it would be great if Xavier’s shot develops but based on the film I have seen he has A+ athleticism and is a facilitator with the basketball. If we can surround him with some guys that can put the ball in the hoop he will turn out to be a very good player for us.

If he is a good distributor, like a true point guard should be, outside shooting isn't a big deal to me. Surround him with some shooters at the 2 and 3 spots and let him get them the ball.

Land a true point guard from Virginia for 2018. His AAU numbers are pretty impressive given the competition.

Anyone worried about all the assistant basketball coaches and Adidas people getting charged with fraud by the FBI. Nebraska is an Adidas school.

Like worried that somehow Nebraska will be implicated in wrongdoing? For Basketball recruiting?

We need ball-handlers even more. Allan and Akenten are great outside shooters, but Glynn is the only true point guard we have and will be a senior next year.
Georgetown is the not the Georgetown of the old but their fans are not happy they lost this kid out of their backyard. Hoping we can land Nate Roberts next.

I'll go out on a limb and say that if Miles has a bag man, he's probably not atop the FBI's most wanted list.

Jason Kidd's shot wasn't that great when he came into the league.

The FBI just requested a bunch of documents from Nike. It isn't just Adidas.
