Man I wish we had landed him. Has 34 points (7 of 8 threes) and keeping Nebraska in this double OT game against Iowa.

As I post that, he drives into the lane for a charge and his 5th foul. Still he can put the ball in the basket.
 
So is Jok

Very true. Kind of want Iowa to win this since we play them twice and already beaten them once. I like to see a surprise team like Nebraska do well though. This has been a fun game to watch although if I were a fan of either team I'd have broken every remote control in my house by now.
 
Wish I could have caught this one......and that's with the Huskers going 19-35 from the line, although went 6-6 in the first OT period.

Wonder if there were any "Frantrums?"

There was a big frantrum when they mistakenly announced that Jok had five fouls. It was quickly corrected but Fran was going ballistic. Here it is:

Grazie, ZZ. That was somewhat subdued for Fran, but even so, I don't know how much longer he's gonna last without some kind of cardiac event. Maybe it's his way of "stress" relief. Reminds me of Jud in that respect.
 
Yeh, I talked about this after Nebraska beat iu. Watson would have looked great in a Boiler uni. He and CE would have been a nasty duo on the perimeter.
Just and FYI: an SI article this week mentioned having 2 PG types on final four teams. Which, coincidentally, has always been our weak spot.

maybe we get that set up the next few years.
 
Did Painter offer? Iknow he recruited Watson some, but cannot remember how hard.
 
Didn't we get Hammons because we lost out on him?
Rather have AJ
Thompson transferred in 2014, so the timing was closer to Swanigan. Biggie may have made a different business decision if we had a Junior Thompson on the roster for 2015-16. I'll take Biggie.

I could be mistaken but I believe Watson was a verbal commit at one point to replace Ronnie Johnson. That's when Ronnie started his whole twitter thing about sauce. I think watson and RJ are friends and ronnnie didn't help the situation after he decided to transfer.

That was the kid that went to Florida State Walker I think)

Matt is on record as of a couple of years ago in saying he would like to play two pg players. FWIW, Watson wanted to go to Purdue, but it didn't work out. I can't recall any specifics but do recall a couple of tweets

We didn't take Watson because Grant Weatherford committed.

oh, so start my day off with a sick stomach...thanks. ;) I think Grant was a hope to bring Guy along as well. Oh well, Carsen is working out... :)

That's probably the most disappointing misses we've had that nobody is talking about. I thought for sure he was going to end up at Purdue. I really liked his game last year, but this year, he's probably All B1G

That was actully CJ "Too Saucy" Walker who kinda plays at F$U. But you gotta love an idiot who throws away a full ride in the B10, (Ronnie) then goes out of his way to Tweet about Walker decommiting from Purdue and making a complete and utter ass clown of himself.
For the record, Carsen is 10 times the player Walker is or ever will dream to be. And where is primetime Ronnie playing this year? Auburn...3 teams in 4 years and he has been a terrible disappointment at the collegiate level. Consistenly worried about everything BUT getting better as a man...sad really. Especially since Purdue played Auburn in Cancun this year and I didn't even notice Ronnie...he played 5 minutes. He'll be 90 years old, sitting in a rocking chair & telling anyone who will listen how he got screwed over by 3 different coaches...the reason he only played Euroleague Ball. Lol

I don't recall that. I think Watson was a possibility for a while, along with Hyron Edwards. Jalen Brunson had an offer as well....I don't know if Watson ever did have an official offer....he narrowed his list and eventually chose Nebraska, but I don't think it was because Purdue went another direction or didn't have room. I thought Watson was more of a possibility than Brunson at one point.

There's other posters who are much closer to the recruiting news who can provide more insight.

Regardless, Carsen Edwards and Nojel Eastern are signs to me that CMP is starting to make some inroads in the backcourt....recruiting wise.....still room for getting better.

I promise you. Brian has stated a bunch of times that all our PG offers went out the window once GW committed.

I'm not close, but I do not think Watson got the offer either. Lots of interest. I only say that because of a couple of tweets between us...and I just don't tweet. :)

No need to promise, B-Westy....if that's the way it went down, so be it. Unfortunately, I can't be very close to the program at the ground level, so for most of the recruiting updates/news, I rely upon what others post here and what I can read from public "news" sources.

Thanks for the info.
