basketballjones Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 http://ballislife.com/glynn-watson-ballislife/ Day one starter, IMO... Saw in there a clip of him dunking it (relatively easy I might add) - didn't know he had those hops. Lots of his other clips seemed like he was pretty grounded. We don't have a player like that, right? Benny doesn't bring that offensive ability and Norm has as good as handles as Tai (that's not a diss on Tai, Norms got mad handles, just not GW level). If he doesn't start, I have to imagine he is gonna get every opportunity to show he can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kldm64 Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I'll be shocked if he isn't starting from day 1. He didn't sign here to come sit on the bench. I think Marrow will be a starter from the start of the season as well. Norm Peterson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskerpapa Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 In all seriousness, the kid defends well and is an extremely good floor general. I will be surprised if he is not playing valuable minutes from the start. I have read articles (many of them can be found in the recruiting page) where he may be one of the best "under the radar" kids, especially those coming out of Chicago.

Whoa thought that me for a second, but then remembered I am not allowed outside without a shirt on, something about the glare causing planes to have trouble flying. I guess is is too bright for the pilots to see clearly and they are worried about going off course. jimmykc, Norm Peterson, a0t0w0 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid has a motor that makes his 6'7" more like 7'6". I'm of the camp that height doesnt have to be as important as some think. It's entirely possible that we could have a 7'1" guy who is serviceable, yet we would rather have Morrow on the floor instead. We need a collection of long athletic guys, some of whom can 'bang' down low a little, at least occupy the post position. I know this has been mentioned before, no knock on David Rivers, but we made a run to the tournament with David Rivers down low. Morrow will provide more 'bang' than Rivers ever could. From day 1.

I doubt he is named the starter for the first game but I think he will eventually take it over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hal9000 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Maybe we can start calling him, "The Doctor," because of the way he breaks down defenders with surgical precision. Get it? "Dr. Watson?" Huh? Huh? Norm Peterson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swan88 Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Lee Barfknecht has a story in today's Omaha World Herald on Glynn Watson--some great stuff! Glynn describes himself as a pass-first point guard. Here's a blurb from the article: At a recent Husker workout, wing Andrew White was machine-gunning 3-pointers with hardly a miss. Afterward, as Watson met with a reporter, White stayed to hone his shot even more. Watson nodded toward the Kansas transfer, wryly smiled and said: “I’m going to pass the ball to him a lot.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajb5856 Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Now that's a nice read! Sounds like Watson has just about the perfect point guard mentality. Sounds like a winner, now hopefully he looks like one too once the season starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watson nodded toward the Kansas transfer, wryly smiled and said: “I’m going to pass the ball to him a lot.” Pass-first point guards are only effective if they have good shooters to support him. Petteway was also only effective if he (and his team) were good shooters. As long as White & Company are able to knock down their shots, we're going to put ourselves in a lot of positions that we had two years ago. If not, we're going to see much of last year. I'm excited to see which team shows up in November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basketballjones Posted July 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Sounds like Jacobson is doing pretty good too. Probably the most ready to play, physically and skill wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
