Pretty cool to see a Nebraska kid get an offer from North Carolina for hoops. Been to UNC and can't imagine a kid saying no to Roy, to stay home.
Hunter Sallis UNC BB Offer
- Thread starter HarrisonPBR

One thing I read was he really loves the idea of playing at home, for the home state team so his mom and friend’s can make it to every single home game. Plus he says he know Hoiberg is a big time Head Coach that can get him to the league. Outside that, that’s all I ever heard in our favor. I have no clue if we can keep him or not. Crossing my fingers though....
no, he just assumes we won’t get him. Sallis has kept things very close to the vest on which team he’s leaning towards...if he’s indeed leaning anyway.
His stats will much better at NU, if he's focusing on the NBA. If just wants the best opportunity to play for a winning team, then yeah hard to turn down traditional powers. I'd play for Hoiberg over Roy definitely.
If Sallis turns down NU and doesn't go to a true blue blood like Duke, UNC, or Kansas...if he decides to go to a Creighton or Texas or Memphis or somewhere like that it's going to hurt a ton.
Not so sure of that. We will be loaded with upperclassmen at the guard position in 2021 when Sallis comes in - Banton, McGowens, King, Allen, Stevenson, Tominaga, Lakes. How would Sallis fit in? Would he get enough minutes to be happy?
I don't think he'll go to UNC, as I think he'll get better offers. If Kentucky offers, he'd be foolish not to go there if he wants to focus on the NBA. Coach Cal gets guys to the League quickly, and because they have so many 1-and-dones leave every year, he could likely come in right away and play a lot.
I think Sallis would start day 1, and the offense would run through him. We've never had a player of his pedigree out of high school, ever.
I'd be surprised if he plays at any school when he will have the chance to play in the G League for $500k+ against other elite prospects/future pros.
So let me get this right, he shouldn't come to Nebraska because we are "loaded" at the guard position. So are you telling me our guards are better than the guards at North Carolina OR Kentucky??
ha I agree. pretty good chance he's the best player ever to play at NU the day he sets foot on campus.
