2017 Recruiting Thread

I thought the same thing swella. Honestly both of them are playing at a lower basketball level than they probably should but they were both great students as well. Bibbs is a blow for me though I thought he was coming here for sure. We took a while to offer after initially watching him a lot and I wonder if that had any affect. Williamson would certainly be an interesting late offer.

Coleman lands is a weird case. We offered him a while ago but he's had no real recruiting movement from us or anyone since January. No visits, no offers, not even reports of teams watching him. Anyone from La Lu can play though.

I love the theory that Moser has a favorite height.

I love the theory that Moser has a favorite height.

More proof: Krutwig is listed at 6'9", but he's really 6'4".

Watched the Gonzaga S. Carolina semi. Can't help but think that Krutwig is a mini Karnowski with his nifty passing and soft touch with his left hand.

Frederick will be on an official visit this weekend.

According to Verbal Commits, he's drawing interest from the following:

George Mason
Southest Missouri State
Kent State
Marshall
UT Martin
Tiffin
Nicholls State

An article from December notes that the following have shown some level of interest: Xavier, Butler and UNLV to Bowling Green, Miami University and Marquette

For a bigger guy, he can pass the ball pretty well. Looks like he is not a prototypical post player.

I know it's not a surprise, and kinda old news, but Mark Smith isn't going to come here unless there's a miracle. According to the podcast below, he's probably going to Illinois, Michigan St., or Kentucky. Even if we were one of his first teams to offer it sounds like as soon as the big schools started to offer he was going to one of them.

Smith blew up like crazy so late! It's insane. As soon as he dropped his baseball scholarship schools came from everywhere.

I'm a big proponent of adding Frederick's skill set next year. He's got good length, can move well, and certainly score. I appreciate that most of his highlights have him finishing over someone rather than just dunking. His ability to finish 6-8 feet away from the basket would also combine well with Jackson who does most of his work right underneath. Bruninga is a nice player out of high school, but i don;t know if his size would bring the skill set the teams looking for. Plus it'd help add experience to a front court.

Talking about baseball...Bruninga may be looking to play baseball as well.

I think the most important player right now is Frederick. If Granic is out like we think, our big men are Jackson, Negron, Krutwig, and Ingram (when needed). It's not that deep, and as good as they are, two of them are freshmen. Add Frederick, and we've got decent depth, plus a taller experienced guy, who might be able to help our freshman. I hope that we can lock him up on his visit.

Completely agree with tank, if we can get Frederick and maybe swipe a high level JUCO guard like Adarius Avery we'll be in great shape.
