The move to Chicago was to take care of her mother whom was diagnosed with diabetes. It also was to gain better employment. Basketball was definitely in the equation but not the main reason.

Huskerpapa Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 HOL: I'm not sure if you've noticed, but Nebraska fans were pretty fired up when they heard the news that you committed. Is there anything you want to say to Husker fans?EM: "One this I will say is I'm excited, and as you mentioned they might be as well. I want to just say thanks to all the Nebraska fans and all the support and love that they have given me thus far. I've really enjoyed them, and I really respect everything that they have going on in their program. I just want to come in and try and make it better."

GATA Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Really interesting that Morrow is being looked at as a SF over PF. Seems like a perfect college PF to me. That said, Miles and Co. know a heck of a lot more than I do. Maybe, as some have mentioned, he's a higher upside version of Shields. Sign me up for that.

Fullbacksympathy Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 LJS article said Miles sees him as a stretch 4 per Morrow. I think that's where he'll play for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It felt like home.’’ “I had more fun at Iowa than I did at Nebraska,” Morrow said. “But that’s not why I’m going to school. So in making my decision, it came down to the opportunities available for me to be successful. "But when it all boiled down, when I went on my visit to Nebraska, it was just 10 times better. I really enjoyed it and I felt like I was supposed to be there. The whole staff they have, I see them doing something big there soon, and I want to be a part of it. Academically, that was a big focus for me as well. They have an amazing academic program and support system for athletes, and I thought that was pretty important. They also have my major (civil engineering), which at Iowa wasn't the best. So when it all came down to pros and cons, Nebraska has the most for what I needed to be successful." This is why a guy like Trey Dickenson goes to Iowa and a guy like Morrow goes to Nebraska. HuskerActuary, bobcat402 and 49r 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuroranHusker Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 LJS article said Miles sees him as a stretch 4 per Morrow. I think that's where he'll play for sure. The article I read thought Morrow would be more of a wing & Jacobson would be more likely the power forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebrasketballer Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Both may be right. It seems that Tim Miles actually prefers to play 3 wing-type players + a point guard + center. There seems to be very little distinction between the 3spot and the 4spot in his offense...and I think the 2spot could be thrown into that mix as well.

Only difference I can think of off the top of my head may be rebounding responsibilities, perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handy Johnson Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Needless to say this is HUGE! Miles is building a program committed to sustained excellence, competing year in & year out for the League Title. We don't want to end up like Indiana/Illinois where you're great one year then back in the shi**er the next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickey Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 The below article has some additional insight...among the scarier thoughts in some time is this quote from Ed Morrow: “I can tell you that last week my mind was leaning another way and that I was going to Iowa,” he said. “I told my parents, I talked to them and they never really told me where I should’ve gone, they just supported me…So when I came to Nebraska and then I told them ‘This is my last visit. I know when I know.’ What they’re doing here is completely different.” http://nebraska.247sports.com/Article/Ed-Morrow-talks-about-his-decision-to-commit-to-Nebraska-31408353 Maybe timing is everything!
