I heard his name on the radio a few days ago so I looked to see what he was up to. He started 9 games for SDSU last year and shot 41% from 3, 43% overall..... I don't see his current stats for this season but the radio announcer I was listening to that time talked about him being a team leader. Nice to see one of our former walk ons flourishing at a smaller school.
Charlie Easley at SDSU
- Thread starter dinglefritz
- Start date
My alma mater, so I watch all the games I can and when they come to the area, he's a very good role player on a very solid team. 8pts, 3 rebs a game. Think he scored 20 last night.. SDSU could make some noise if Wilson and Scheierman stay healthy. Also have a couple other kids from Nebraska David Wingett (Winnebago) and Baylor Scheierman (Aurora) GO JACKS!
I watched Scheierman play at the Heartland Hoops Classic when he was a senior at Aurora and I was like, how is this kid not getting a scholarship to Nebraska? That's an example of a kid, my opinion, should be playing basketball for the Huskers. Having said that, clearly he's better off where he's at.
for a second I thought - wait, this kid went to SDSU? wow. not a small school in terms of hoops tradition
then I realized you were talking about SoDak St & it all made sense
good for Charlie

I was thinking that he would be MUCH better than one kid who plays some and is on scholarship. I'll let people guess who that is. Oh well. Just happy that he's doing well and getting to play.
Schierman is in the running for Summit League Player of the Year honors. He is a stud. Was 1st team all conference last year as a sophomore. His dad was a coach of mine in HS. Said UNO didn't even recruit him let alone Huskers. UNO has let Nebraska kids kick their *** for years now while playing on other conference teams like South Dakota St, South Dakota, North Dakota State. etc. Watched Schierman play UNO this year and he was a man amongst boys out there. 6'7" point guard leads team in points, rebounds, assists. Was 6 for 6 on 3's versus UNO. Minus maybe Bryce he would be the best player on Husker team no doubt.
Easley is very smart and unselfish. So I would agree with that. Easley won't impress anyone in a dunk contest, but he knows how to win and he's great in the locker room. Every team needs role players. Even the show time Lakers started Kurt Rambis.
Kurt Rambis. So great.
The moment which turned the series...
"That's part of the game." wtf.
Edit: I feel like I read somewhere through the first four games, the Celtics led for almost no time in regulation and the series was tied 2-2.
Dingle you watched last game, no? Everything you have knocked Verge for was what Trey brought to the table. At this point he is just a dunker out there that can play aggressive defense as long as the B1G officials allow it. He is easily replaced, Dingle. I have his clone out here in our pickup basketball games (JUCO product).
Trey had a brutal game last go around. On the flip side both he and Verge had good if not great games against Minnesota. Trey is IMO our best defender and one of if not our best athlete able to create shots going to the rim against bigger guys. I said it about Roby and I'll say it about Trey. He'll play in the NBA at some point. He has the athleticism and enough of a perimeter shot, ball handle etc, to play in the NBA. When he's healthy he brings energy and defensive pressure like nobody else we have on the floor. He's not a true point guard though and our shortcomings at point have him playing there at times.
Trey does not have the upside that Roby had. He's not anywhere near the physical talent. He can't shoot like Roby could. He might get a G-League sniff but it's too late for him to make the NBA. Too much ESPN highlight-watching inspired his game. He is always looking for the highlight play instead of steady, consistent basketball that leads to wins.
Hey, speaking of players that Fred should have on his roster - how about Frankie Fidler? He’s having a pretty great freshman year. He’s going to be another guy that puts up big numbers in the Summit. I know we all need to agree that playing in the B1G is a different physical game, but still…
While I agree that Trey McGowens is one of Nebraska's top 3 or 4 players (that bar is low), I don't see the NBA in his future. Not nearly enough offense in his arsenal and while he's a good defender against someone his own size, he doesn't have the length to shut down bigger opponents.
Probably true. I also didn't see Banton being a good NBA guy either, but was definitely wrong.
I was surprised Banton made it to the NBA as quickly as he did, but he's one of those long, multi-position guys the league tends to favor. Just don't see that with McGowens.
Easley's going dancing! Played great game last night 15 and 6 for him! Rabbits could make some noise as a 12 over 5
I guess I've watched too much basketball going back to the CBA days. I would see guys either come down from the NBA or get NBA contracts and move up close up. I played pick up ball in grad school with guys like Rickey Frazier and Jon Sundvold at Mizzou. Trey McGowens is better than any of those guys I watched in the old CBA. He's an elite explosive athlete with good defensive skills and a reasonably good 3 pt shot. His athleticism is what stands out.
What people often forget is that when we're in man, Trey always draws the other team's best offensive guard to small forward. He can play point in a pinch too. I think we underestimate how the NBA will view his competitiveness and hard nosed play. JMO. I've seen alot of basketball and IF I were an NBA exec, I would most definitely spend a second round pick on Trey. The problem for him is that there's a plethora of players his size every year who come out. It's just a matter of IF he catches the eye of a decision maker. I would love it if he came back but if not man I hope he has alot of success. I love that guy's athleticism and hard nosed leadership.
My suspicion is that he'll be a free agent and end up on a D league team. Personally I think he's an NBA talent but between our record and his injury this past year, he probably won't get drafted which actually could be better for him. A friend of mine's son got drafted in the 2nd round a few years ago and he hated it. It locked him in to a team that placed him in Europe and he had virtually no say in pursuing opportunities with other teams. It really screwed him for several years.
Can't see any way that Trey gets drafted. Which like you have said, is probably good for him.
He should have a great career overseas. Great athlete that plays hard. Sometimes too hard. His biggest problem is he simply isn't a scorer. Not a good shooter, doesn't draw fouls, and doesn't finish at the rim. Odd since he is a such great athlete.
How did UNO get Fidler while we got a six foot Japanese guy who couldn't guard a decent intramural player?
Being Bryce's brother will benefit him. If a team wants to look at Bryce workout, they will also have to watch Trey. I really like the kid, but Trey is a long way from being an NBA talent. However, if gets into a lower level pro league overseas and works his way up. You never know. But I wouldn't want to go to the D League if I were him.
People thought I was nuts when I said Roby was going to play in the NBA too. I don't remember who the posters were, but they were absolutely sure that I didn't know what I was talking about. I caught a few minutes of his game last night. In the couple of minutes I watched Roby had a long range 3, a finish on a drive at the rim and 2 defensive stops on the guy he was guarding. Trey has that same kind of talent with a GREAT upside. Elite athlete, good defender, average 3 point range and good work ethic with the flexibility to play anything from the point to small forward in a pinch.
Trey is in fact an NBA level talent. His only problem is that he isn't 6-8 and there's a lot of guys his size who come out every year. The difference for him will have to be his extreme athleticism and work ethic. IF I were choosing between Russell Westbrooke and Trey right now, I would cut Russell and sign Trey today. Trey's better than him.
It is kind of funny, but I think guys like Trey are kind of a dime a dozen. Maybe not that common, but just from Nebraska he reminds me a lot of Larry Florence, Cookie Belcher and Jason Dourisseau. All pretty athletic dudes in that 6'4" to 6'5" range that can guard pretty well and could pop off a 20+ point game from time to time.
Seems like most Division 1 teams have some type of guy like that. He will probably have a decent career in Europe if he wants to go that way with it.
His size is in fact the limiter but not that many guys have his kind of athleticism and strength IMO even though there's a ton of guys at his size. He's elite in his explosiveness and our best defender. IF he was shooting it better from 3, I believe he would have a shot at getting drafted. I mean, good heavens, he's so much better than Banton that it isn't funny.
Step 1: Watch Trey drive with his head down against 4 defenders and fail to get a shot off as time expires to end the season.
Step 2: Debate whether he is NBA material.
Step 3: Realize that life as a Nebraska basketball fan is pointless.
Step 4: Drop a piano on your head.

Banton was pressed from an NBA mold
trey m is a terrible player with zero unique talents/traits on a 10-win team
Are you sure many doubted Roby as an NBA player? Roby had size and an offensive game. I’m far from any great evaluater of talent, but I don’t see Trey ever sniffing the nba. I don’t think he has the size. But I certainly didn’t think Banton was talented.
There were a few that swore he was terrible and had no chance in the NBA, but I don't know about many. I know there were arguments about it!
There are still people who think the NBA drafts the 60 best college players, and those were the posters who didn't think Roby had any shot at the NBA. I just don't think Trey is a unique enough talent or has enough upside to draw interest from the NBA. But, if he can get a roster spot in the G-League or Europe and play his *** off, anything's possible.
This is it 100%. Just look at Banton getting drafted last year. He was drafted by the only team that would draft him: his hometown Toronto Raptors that promptly went on a huge marketing binge propping him up. The NBA is an entertainment league. It's not a pure competition league with respect to the game of basketball. The NBA has always loved its circus-sized athletes as long as they can put a respectable game on the court.
I vaguely remember the Roby debate but I think his toughness and physicality was the biggest issue with him in college. That doesn't matter in the NBA now. It's not a tough nor physical league anymore.
