I played baseball at Lincoln College with Nelson's dad Jeff. He also played basketball at Lincoln College and he was a stud at everything he did. Old ISU fans will remember Reggie Wilson, Nelson played with him at Lincoln College. Jeff also played baseball at EIU.

It is not a surprise that Jordan is as good as he is. Jeff played at Lincoln High School in the mid 80's and his teams went head to head with Manual when Manual had Jamere Jackson, David Booth, Lynn Collins.

I do not even need to see Nelson play to know he is likely an awesome athlete and probably is big time good on the court.

Lincoln high school has had a very good history of having well coached teams, Duncan Reid, Loren Wallace to name a few built that program up and they always play against good competition, I say go after this kid.

We should recruit more kids like Nelson. WE put to much on kids who can run and jump and not enough on kids who can flat out shoot the ball. Lord knows we need shooters.Hope he hangs around till this spring when we may have some openings.

I think the requirement for athleticism has a more pronounced effect on what kind of bigs we get (as opposed to guards). I don't think Les will sign or tolerate slow big men (Heemskerk is an example, and I believe the last of Mo's recruits) which is why we never seem to have those sort of average serviceable bigs that other Valley teams seem to have. In my world, it's not that Les doesn't like the bigs or is married to a 4-guard set, it's that he wants the kind of bigs who usually end up at power programs. I think it's an area of improvement for him as a coach -- it's adapting your approach to available talent and the situation that marks a great coaching performance.

I think it is more of a developing the bigs problem, tired of hearing the weight issues as far as our guys need more weight and strength, Oakland plays Illinois tonight and their center Benson was fairly thin 2 years ago when he put big numbers as far as rebounding and scoring against us in the game Chris made the 75 ft. shot to win, how about our guys need better footwork and toughness inside.

I think you hit the nail on the head here.

[Old Coach]

I understand the connection to Illinois but why would he want to play little minutes there when he could possibly be all MVC type of player at BU.

I think this is the tough choice that the "tweeners" have to make. Do I go to a top 20 program in the Big Ten where I'm likely to go the NCAA tournament 3 of 4 years and have to scrap for minutes, or do I go to a middle of the pack MVC school where I'm likely to get significant playing time?

Jeff played both baseball and basketball at EIU. I was there when he transferred from Lincoln.
