Shortly afer we learned about Sampay, there was a thread somewhere (I believe on the basketball board) saying we were also recruiting a California JC juco post player. I believe Mike Kennedy was the source. Did anybody come up with anything?
I did discover that Roburt Sallie, one of Spin's Nebraska recruits is believed to be at San Francisco City College. He is there since he did not academically qualify and is redshirting to get academics in order and save a year of D1 play. He is a 6-4 to 6-5 SG and Nebraska is still hoping to get him. Spin recruited him out of Patterson Prep where he was a 3 star and Rivals had him listed as something like the 13th best 5 year player in '06. The year before that he was at Laurinburg Institute and committed to Washington, but again did not qualify. There is talk on the Nebraska board that he is doubling his classes to get his AA degree this year in hopes to return to Nebraska next Fall. Seems unlikely, so I would expect that he will be playing for SFCC next year and his recruitment could be pretty open if he has a good year and gets his grades in order. Perhaps we are maintaining some level of contact.
While at Laurinburg, he played with Jamel White, another Spin guard recruit who went on to Nebraska and averaged something like 8-9 points per game as a freshman. He was suspended from the team this year, for what reason I do not know. There is hope on the Nebraska board that he will be back next year and that this is necessary to have good chance for the return of Sallie.
