Omaha reminds me a little of Arthur Kaluma, Creighton Freshman this past year. Some of us were hoping he might follow TJ to ISU, as he was a prized UNLV recruit at the time of TJ's hire.

I'm not sure at all who is the better player, Kaluma vs. Biliew. Omaha hasn't even played his Senior year of HS yet. But Kaluma had a pretty good first year at Creighton, 10 ppg or so.

Arthur has a more refined offensive game, and I think that was true in HS. But Omaha has a significant advantage in athleticism. That is what's making him a 5 start prospect, its simply something he has that others dont.

This is my 2nd or 3rd time. A bet for account deletion was made and they don't like that I guess

Was your bickering and trying to egg on a fight and derail the thread, not your silly bet but you know that.

Of course the high school program convinced his ex-girlfriend to drop prior charges for the sake of his NBA future. Gross.

Exactly.

Tyrese went to Texas, and it’s a question how much further he’ll develop there. He chose the short term payoff over the long term investment.

That may backfire on him. Not least, since the Longhorns have a mega recruit freshman PG.

Texas must have made Tyrese an offer he couldn't refuse. And this 5* incoming PG signed last July, '21, so Tyrese knew what he was doing. Looks like he might not get the playing time he could have had elsewhere. I don't see Morris sitting on the bench a whole lot.

Anyway, another layer of interest to watch, concerning Tyrese, the next year or two. There is definitly a different culture in Texas FB and BB.

Threaten to kill me or something like that and your account will be deleted LOL

You haven't been THAT bad yet. Try to behave! LOL

Charged with assaulting a family member. The article said he got into it with his girlfriend….???…. Sure this isn’t Kentucky?

I didn't understand that either

Almost heaven...West Virginia...

Well, they could be anywhere. Or Everywhere!

Sorry, you'll never see it coming.

Tyrese looks homesick on the UT video they put out with him in the weight room IMHO. On one frame, looks lost as they tell him what to do. Talented yes, happy, no.

Full disclosure, I have not seen the video you’re talking about, however I will ask…does he ever look “happy”?

This was my first thought as well. Kid was here a full year and I can't recall him once smiling.

Maybe this? Although I don't know where one would get homesick or lost from this video. Just looks like a guy working out...

Holmgren always looks frail and unhealthy.

I hung out with kingsbury in Iowa city when I was younger. He was really a nice guy. Minus the whole Hawkeye thing. Let’s just say the Hawkeyes didn’t drug test for marijuana very well back then

I'm gonna always pull for Tyrese. Never Texas though! Kid's been thru a lot.

Just wish he wouldn't have chosen TX or any other Big12 team.

I really hope ISU fans aren't too hard on him this year. Tyrese hopefully will always favor his time in Ames. And I hope he remembers that when he makes the League.

I wouldn't hold my breath on him making the NBA. One of the reasons I don't hold it against him trying to make what he can while he can.

It's very hard for 6'1" or shorter players to make the NBA. I'd be more surprised if he makes it long term than doesn't. He'll get a shot though.

He’s going to get boo’d so loud at Hilton.

I predict that Omaha is going to have a ton of dunks in transition after steals by our defense.
