Originally from Canada. Wonder if we'd show any interest?

Hope not. Tshimanga has no lift so he can't finish, can't rebound out of his area and can't protect the rim. He's Cobb.

He went 9 and 6 against Wisconsin. It might take Cobb 4 or 5 games to do that.
But yeah, he's not that attractive. Not sure he would be a step up from Kisunas.

We do? Not that I want this guy, but when you line our guys up against our opponents guys...

The landscape will change with firings, transfers and 5th year guys on all ends no need to jump, be patient there's hopefully an impact need out there after the season some time.

a step up from Kisunas?
Crying out loud - the kid hasn't even stepped on Storrs soil in a Huskies warm-up and you're already doing comparatives and looking for replacements/step ups?
let's give the kid a chance

You misinterpreted my meaning. We have a glut of limited bigs. Kisunas will likely be one of our better ones. There's not much sense going after another big that does not look to be clearly better than what we have.
 
bumping with Kenya news

Not worth it. He's basically Cobb or Kisunas – a big body with no lift at all. Pass.

i don't want him either but i figured it was worth the bump

Actually worth the bump. Hopefully not a Hunter recruit.

lack of aggression, soft, and uncoordinated. nice kid but don't want him anywhere near UConn.

So why did Hunter recruit him to Nebraska? Was he recruited as a practice player, or a player to give starters a rest?

he was thought to be a raw big man that had great potential. He's only been playing basketball a few years now. I imagine a redshirt year and a year of really focusing on getting his body right would do him wonders but he really seems lost defensively most of the time and has no idea how to use his frame/size to his advantage. Don't know if I've ever seen him dunk in his two years at Nebraska which is crazy considering where he gets all his touches.

Kenya has recruited a hell of a lot of good players to Nebraska- don't let Miles' lack of coaching ability convince you otherwise- but most of those players have been wings and guards. Nebraska really has had one good "big" and he was 6'7 and transferred out last year (Ed Morrow). The rest of Miles' tenure has been extremely underwhelming when it comes to big man recruiting- with a hodgepodge of grad transfers and guys that didn't deserve scholarships to play in the Big Ten.
 
I'm not advocating for UConn because he isn't much different than Cobb, but I had a better impression than you guys have.
At Hoophall when he and Spellman were on the court together he looked pretty good, but that was the only time I saw him. He did rebound well and covered ground doing it, and scored. I'm surprised you guys are so down on him but I didn't ever see him play at Nebraska.
