Dave Wingett

[Davefan123]

The kid is forreal. At one point he lead his team to 50 straight wins. I know they're C-2 in Nebraska, but the kid has talent. He's very raw as I feel not many know or have seen a player like him around this area. I've seen him and Mike Gesell play, former Iowa Guard who now plays professionally over seas, and Wingett is by far the greater talent. Take a look at some of his more recent highlights.

Also has had games of 50+ points & 16+ boards. Again competition isn't very tough, but I believe he averaged 28+ ppg last season as a junior and this season is doing the same. His teams only loss this season came to Omaha Central in which he scored 40 points had 10+ boards and 7 blocks.

Whys it matter if he's from Nebraska huh?

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Sensational

 

[Fishy]

He has some hops, but there's nothing in any of the clips of this kid that makes me think he's anything but a good high school kid playing very bad competition.

Is there nothing else going on in Nebraska? I mean, those stands are packed and people are going wild. I have to admit, it is entertaining seeing him riding a kid like a donkey after a dunk. That was 10x better than passing it to himself off a backboard because in the latter, the 2 defenders played like hapless idiots. The blonde kid with the mop hair on the other hand may never live that down.

 

[Fishy]

He took about 37 steps before the backboard pass to himself.

Are the Nebraska Cornhuskers all over him?

 

[80shusky]

Legendary status may be attainable with this.

 

[jibsey]

Can he shoot and grab rebounds? The dunk is not more impressive than most of our current roster can do right now, everyone over 6'5".

 

[pnow15]

Anyone wanna bet he ends up at Georgetown.

When I used to think of Nebraska I thought of Tom Osborne, Tommie Frazier and Lawrence Phillips. Now it's Dave Wingett every time, kid has reached legend status.

 

[Drew]

Kid can't even get a look by Nebraska-Omaha and theres 10+ threads on him on a UConn message board. Makes perfect sense.

 

[Nebraskan18]

He's a knockdown shooter

 

[QDOG5]

Striper69 has been on this kid for 2 years. MaxPreps has him #461 in class of'17. Offers from NDakota, SDakotaSt, and Texas-Rio Grande Valley. What's not to like?

 

[RipCity]

If only everyone's dad cared about them this much.

 

[Huskybass]

I will be rooting for the kid to earn his legend.

Update on everyone's favorite recruit: Chatelain: His star still rising, Winnebago's David Wingett honing game in hope of Division I offer

He has offers from several Summit League schools and a few Division I programs in Texas. Nebraska is still in the picture, too.

“He has a lot of big jucos after him,” Winnebago coach Jeff Berridge said.

Wingett isn’t crazy about that idea.

“No juco,” he said, pausing for a moment. “Maybe. We’ll see.”

Wingett’s defense is still a concern for college coaches — Winnebago’s system and competition don’t force him to master man-to-man fundamentals. But his offensive skill set is Division I-ready.

 

[Drew]

he's going to JUCO. Nice update on him in the beginning part of this segment:

 

[Fishy]

So he has one offer - Texas Rio-Grande - and he's not on track to qualify which means he really needs a junior college. I don't think you can qualify via the prep route any more.

Nice story, but not remotely of any consequence to UConn and the promotional posts can probably stop.

Why stop now? He's just now getting pub!

I'm about to post a thread about every plays on my team with the tag "2018 recruiting."
