SWELLA PREDICTS:

BOBI KLINTMAN WILL COMMIT TO THE RAMBLERS.

I typed my prediction in the largest font size, in caps and in red. That shows how confident I am.

Reminder that Bobi Klintman is visiting Loyola this weekend.

The final of his 3 official visits after heading to Maryland and Rutgers the past two weekends.

He hasn't said much of anything on Twitter about either visit, just retweeting something about his Maryland visit. So, it doesn't seem like those visits swayed him at all.

Let's see if coach Valentine can lock Klintman in. Would be one of the biggest gets Loyla's had in a long time. Wouldn't be shocked if he was as high as a top-50 recruit in the country after the season is over.

Would be huge, but having just come over to the states I wouldn’t be shocked if he had a later commitment as he gets more exposure. He seemed really high on Virginia, wonder if they’re not prioritizing him if he hasn’t setup a visit.

The NBA is weird. Look at a guy like Luka Garza. He went to a big 10 school, had “national exposure,” solid numbers in the big 10, and got drafted 52nd in the NBA draft. Then look at a guy like Adam Morrison in 2006, who played in a mid major league with Gonzaga and got drafted 3rd. Morrison was a flop but got PAID, and made the league. Morrison’s stats were padded a lot by playing in the WCC for 3 years.

If Klintmann thinks he’s NBA quality (and he very well might be), it would probably only help him to go to a place like Loyola (who is very much on par with the 2003-2006 Gonzaga program, as opposed to a big 10 school like Maryland or Rutgers (who is probably on par with Iowa). Hell, Steph Curry played at Davidson!

Our recent reputation and history make us a prime landing spot for a 4 star whose looking to make a name for himself. I don’t think it’s as hard a sell to get a 4 star to Loyola now as people might think.
