2019 Recruit: David Skogman

[GHSWolverines]

Has anyone heard of this player? I first heard about him on Twitter from Cue the Music. We have not offered him but he still has not committed. He is from Minnesota, 6' 10" and can shoot the 3. He has a few decent offers and appears to be a late bloomer. I wonder if Kimani or Kenyon have him on the radar?

Did you send this to Kimani or Kenyon? You never know. He might be waiting for an offer from a perennial National Champion............

I'm not sure he'd qualify for Geno's team...

Interesting. He has some decent offers- Minnesota, Nebraska, Texas Tech, Vanderbilt. And some lower offers like Elon, Rutgers, Canisius, etc.
Might not be a bad guy to take a flyer on, looks like he has a lot that the coaching staff can work with.
Still preferably would like a JUCO/Grad transfer big man and go for Omoruyi or Mark Williams next year.

Valid point. But...he has a smooth stroke from behind the arc. Imagine the following on the court at the same time - two 6' 10" guys (JC & him), 6' 9"" Akok, AG and CV.
This would not be the starting lineup.

Just reached out on Feb. 19. Doesn't seem to be anything else but interest at this point. He is following Kenya on Twitter though.

 

[KembaStepback]

Can he rebound? Defend? Protect the rim? If he's capable of any of these I'd take him. If he's a 4 yr player hopefully he can develop into a good rotation piece.

He might be a good get only if we are opening 2 or more scholarships this summer. We could certainly use some depth/4 year players in the front court. But primarily, we need just high talent in the front court as well. We might have to go for experience in a grad transfer and then shoot for the big recruits in 2020, so we will see if that leaves room for a player like this.
Again, really depends how many more scholarships we are talking about for 2019.

Quite frankly, I haven’t heard anything but lots to track.

This is begging for an 'self identification' joke, but i don't wanna cesspool it.

Waukesha West star fights back after his heart stopped

Pretty crazy story in Skogman. Arizona and Michigan reached out recently along with UConn.

Supposed to be a really good shooter.

I'm wondering if he's one of those guys we see for a Midwestern team I wished we had? Know nothing about him but love the story, love his size and the fact he can shoot. Interesting fact we reached out.

Dirk American made?

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Is he as good as David Wingett?

You can always use shooters, however he better be able to play pressure defense too, to fit into Hurley's system at his position.

 

[UconnU]

This kid is like every power forward who has played for Wisconsin for the past 20 years.

That happened to a kid I went to school with. Collapsed on the court in the middle of a game but didn't make it. His older brother was in the crowd, it was awful.

 

[Towers99]

Looks like he played for Ray Allen Select AAU team.
