Pretty respectable offer list. I hope we can get him here for a visit.

Sounds like he will hold off and sign in the spring signing period. Must want different offers. Still has interest in Nebraska.

Will take an official visit the weekend of Jan. 4-6.

Interesting that the only video we have is him just standing on a court and shooting in practice. Can't even tell if they go in.

I'm sure he is pretty good. But, that video doesn't show us anything.

Yah, that's a bummer.

I sure wish we had more names in the hopper. It's hard to tell how many in-roads we are making.

I bet this is our top post target for 2013. We need an athletic big in this class, hopefully Miles can close on this guy.

Duke is showing interest.

If I am a 3/4 star kid.. i take Nebraska if my interest is to play now.. He has a great chance to play 20-30 min right away with NE..

With Duke, he probably wont get that time till year 4... at best.

They haven't offered yet, but it is still Duke. If they offer you a scholarship is has to be pretty damn hard to turn that down.

I don't know if I'd be more proud of sitting on Duke's bench for 4 years or leading Nebraska to their first tourney win ever.

I don't get where the thought that this kid rides the pine for 4 years comes from. Programs like that don't bring kids in to sit. Atewe is really athletic and at the very least would be a defensive presence for where ever he ends up.

It's not that they bring kids in to sit, it's that they recruit at such a high level and stay away from one-and-done kids, that you often get buried on the depth chart, waiting for your chance.
