Is he a sophomore class of 2024 or a freshman class of 2025?

[scrooner]

Oops, freshman, sorry.

Impressed young kids using glass as much as he does love it

Hard for me to get excited for a recruit this far out. So much can change.

Programs recruiting him the hardest: “Gonzaga, Kentucky, UNLV, North Carolina and UCLA.”

Gonzaga: “One of the coaches, Brian Michaelson, used to recruit my brother and he was really cool with him and stuff. That’s just a cool thing to me. They’re cool, they really don’t change you, they just let you play and let you fit into the system.”

Dream schools growing up: “My dream schools were North Carolina and Duke.”

I get a real kick out of seeing all these recruits that the Zags target and who subsequently list off Duke, UNC, or Kentucky as their dream schools. There's no chance this kid is coming here.

Almost all the recruiting services ask that question and yeah, hardly any of the top guys are gonna answer Gonzaga. But for a somewhat local kid who we have a strong tie to already, definitely a chance here.

I dont think we have a chance. Listening to interviews from his Dad, just seems like they are looking for the bigger Fish. He transferred to Wasatch Academy in Utah and will get major exposure. Kid is built, has a college ready frame and natural abilities. He will be a high major talent no doubt, would love him in a Zag uniform.

From Aug 8th but I hadn't seen it.

He has transferred to Wasatch, the same school Hickman attended.

Gonzaga: “I like Gonzaga a lot. They like their people to play and they fit in with each other. That’s cool and that makes them stronger and helps them get stronger in the NCAA Tournament.”

Harwell said he’s planning a visit to Gonzaga before the end of the school year.

It looks like Coach Davis is sitting pretty, but Scheyer is still a question mark. Lots of facts to shake out.

looks like we officially offered:

That’s what I don’t really get. The kid is what, 15, so since he as 5-6 yrs old, a school in his back yard has been a national powerhouse and he likes…Duke? All he’s known is the Zags brand and deep tourney runs and #1 rankings!
