Message: [QUOTE="Sherman20, post: 3881166, member: 6357"] Matt Abdelmassih is the Nebraska assistant coach, and he has a long track record of reeling in kids from the east coast. He was with Hoiberg at Iowa State when the Mayor put the Cyclones on the map in the early 2010s, and he brought in a lot of kids to Ames (including, I believe, Monte Morris). He then went to St John’s with Mullin for a few years because he’s a Johnnies grad and knew Mullin, and he recruited all their top kids. Now he’s back with Hoiberg, this time at Nebraska. Unfortunately for us, this is yet another program that we’ll have to contend with in recruiting b/c Hoiberg and Abdelmassih will surely be dipping into the east coast waters. Hopefully players like Westry will decide they want to stay closer to home for their one or two years of college and that Syracuse can offer them more than faraway schools like Nebraska or Auburn.
