The two in-state newcomers
to the Nebraska basketball team
said their adjustment to playing
major college basketball should
be easier after facing stiff com
! petition in an Omaha summer
league.
Bill Jackman, a lormer an
stater from Grant, b eligible to
play for the Buskers after sit
ting outra season following his
transfer from Duke University.
Joel Scaler b the lone fresh
man on the 15-man Husker ros
ter. Sealer, a two-time ail-stater
from Millard South, also was the
only Nebraska Husker coach
Moe Iba recruited.
Nebraska's other three re
cruits are transfers from junior
colleges. Demetrious Buchanan
averaged 14 points a game for
the College of the Sequoias in
California. Chris Logan was
second among California junior
college players with a 13.6 re
bounding average. Harvey Mar
shall was a first-team junior col
lege Ail-American at North
western Junior College in Sterl
ing, Colo.
"I didn't play as weU as I
would have liked," Jackman said
of the Omaha league. They play
a quicker style of ball than I'm
used to."
Jackman's team mads the play
offs of the 10-team league at
Omaha's downtown YMCA whose
rosters read like a Who's Who of
Nebraska basketball Jackman's
team was beaten by a team led
by former Creighton star John
C. Johnson and former NBA
great Ron Boone.
That team went on to defeat
a team with Nebraska center
Dave Hoppen and Marquette
guard Kerry Trotter of Omaha
in the finals.
Sealer said he also was disap
pointed by his play in Omaha. "I
definitely was not the best player
on the court. I guess I have a
long way to go."
He said he liked playing tough
er competition than he faced in
high school. '
"It was a big step up, but it
wasn't as big an adjustment as I
first thought," he said.
Sealer worked out on his own
in the mornings and also played
Legion Junior baseball for Mil-
I lard South.
1 Major league baseball scouts
watched Sealer during the spring
1 u:i i v i i ii .. v,,
he was not offered much money.
"If I had, I might have consid
ered playing pro ball," Sealer
said, "but I didnt take the offer
seriously."
Sealer hasnt ruled out play
ing baseball for Nebraska.
"Ill see how things go," he
said. "Often, when I throw a
baseball, it makes my shoulder
sore and that's not good for
basketball players."
Jackman commuted to Omaha
from Lincoln, where he worked
half-days at Whitehead Oil Co.

' played a lot of pick-up, 2-on-2 or
1 3-on-3 games, "just to shoot
1 around."
He was impressed with Seal
er's ball-handling ability. "He's a
very fine passer," Jackman said.
He also said Husker reserve
Keith Neubert was playing very

Both players are anxious to
begin practice Oct. 15, the first
day allowed by NCAA regula
tions. "I was getting anxious last
season, especially during pre
game wsrmups," Jackman said.
"1 got pumped up, and when I
asketball newcomer
sti
went into the locker room, I
could feel the anticipation."
"I'm really looking forward to
working out with the team,"
Sealer said. "I haven't played
with that good a group of play
,ers before."
Sealer will play guard for the
Huskers.
"My overall game has to im
prove," Sealer said. "You can
work on shooting by yourself,
but improving your defensive
play b something hard to work
on alone. I think I can contrib
ute to the team thb season."
Jackman, 6-9, figures to play
a small forward.
"You don't get many players
like Bill, who are 6-9 and can
play out on the floor like he
does," Iba said. "Laying off a
year could affect him early, but
we think he can help us."
Jackman said he thinks the
team will revolve around the
play of Hoppen, who toured
three weeks this summer with a
team of National Invitation tourn-.
ament all-stars in Europe.
"As Hoppen goes, so will the
team," Jackman said.
After having to sit out follow
ing his decision to transfer to
his home-state university, Jack
man said it will be exciting to

play in front of the home fans.
"It's something I've thought
about for a year and a half."
Hoppen, guard Brian Carr,
forwards Ronnie Smith and
John Matzke are the only return
ing Huskers with extensive play
ing time.
Here b a capsule look at Ne
braska's other recruits:
Harvey Marshall. The Husk
ers' preseason prospectus says
Marshall "could be the big guard
Nebraska has lacked in the past."
The juco Ail-American led hb
team to the national tourna
ment, where he averaged 24.3
points in four games. On the
season, he averaged 23 points
with 49 percent field goal shoot
ing. Chrb Logan, Antelope Val
ley Junior College. Iba said,
"Logan gives us something we
haven't had lately at forward
a great jumper and rebounder."
Aided by his 41-inch vertical
jump, Logan, 6-5, set school
records in rebounding for a sea
son and a career.
Demetrious Buchanan, Col
lege of the Sequoias. The 6-2 jun
ior b figured to play at point
guard. He shot 52 percent from
the field and 72 percent at the
line last season.
