New Commit Leo Curtis is N

[BIGSTICK67]

A diamond 7'1 4*

There was some cynicism on Inside Nebraska about his commitment and snarky comments about Fred's quote about international players having excellent fundamentals.

I was a bit surprised today when I saw he was rated a 4-star based on some of cynical comments. Although I cannot recall if it was in the commitment thread or another thread on IN.

Very nice pick-up for the Huskers! Get him in the weight room starting today! He can be a difference maker in the paint.

Fred is right. Not all high school coaches in the USA think teaching the fundamentals is important these days, especially young coaches enamored by the 3 point line. In other countries, they stress the fundamentals starting at a very early age. It used to be that way here, but things change.

I agree. And it's starting to show internationally because there's a good number of great basketball players from other countries besides the USA.

4 best players in the world are all European. Joker, Luca, Yanis and Wimby.

Neither Luka or Wemby are top 5 players…..

The rest of that Icelandic team looked like a Nebraska Class C All-Star team.

Wemby isn't, I agree. But Luka most certainly is. I'd go:

1. Jokic
2. Giannis
3. Shai
4. Luka
5. Ant

Only one American on that list...

Damn. In that case, we need to recruit all of them! 😉

Give me Ant and Tatum over Luka.

Luka is IMO. And Wimby will be in the next year or two.

Sp "Iceland" in Icelandic is just the English word "Island"?

 

[Lionsfan93]

Give me Ant and Tatum over Luka.

Both great players. I literally have Ant one spot behind Luka, so we aren't arguing over a lot here. But Luka is better than Tatum. Tatum should be better, but he doesn't appear to have that extra gear or killer in him.

Also just realized I misspelled 3 of their names 🤣 Always thought it was “Luca” 🤷‍♂️ Other 2 have weird ass names so fuck it I guess…

I can’t express how much I hate that abomination of a basketball. Basketballs are orange, and only orange, you Euro trash mother fuckers.

Looks like a WNBA ball. Gimmick.
