Not only mentioned "study," he put it first.

 

[uchusky32]

[UCDaveD]

[gampelcrazies]

[Burnsbros23]

Nice couple weeks.

It'll be weird to be done with recruiting in October, but I don't hate it.

2019 beckons. No days off.

 

[Mr. French]

Nice find... May be exactly the type of front court guy we need, that's the hope anyway.

Good news is not really done because they may have even a bigger '19, just won't hear a lot about it unless you dig.

Nice comeback by KO and the staff love what they've done and even last year which may turn out better than some wold have thought.

 

[Burnsbros23]

Just watched my first video of him. Easy to get excited about. Looks like he could play this year for us. A year at Brewster playing top competition he should be ready to contribute immediately.

Welcome Lukas! We are Blazing the recruiting trail as other programs are crashing and burning. No stopping @Chief00 now folks.

 

[Kembacity]

YES! Love this tuna big time, when was the last time we got this style of big? I love our projects who have only played the game 3 years, but sometimes its nice to have a banger who already likes to absorb contact and put up a turnaround down low

Like I said in the other thread. Wow! I thought he had moved on especially since he was going to Illinois for his next visit this past weekend. Great get by KO to have a big man with some proven skills around the basket. I do see he is rated 267 in 247Sports. Isn't this really low or will this be updated? I thought he was closer to 100. If so it seems like a nice get for a big man to do some dirty work(screens and positional defense) but not a real answer down low for us offensively.

Chillious, Killings, Moore, Ollie. We have turned to a new chapter ... and I think the edge is back. Jim Calhoun always had an edge - we weren't blue-blood; we were blue-collar - and we need guys that push every way possible. That's part of the story of the last few months. PLUS ... we are fortunate that we are not far from a bunch of elite prep schools that emphasized Hoop (and Chillious has that Kent background).

 

[BaZZnBOAT]

The Brewster connection looks just fine. Welcome aboard Lukas!

What’s odd is that 5 months ago he was nearly Top 100.

I'm very happy with our 2018 class - 4 really solid-looking gets to give us a nice foundation. That should allow us to swing for the fences in 2019.

Also, who was the last great screener we had?

 

[ctchamps]

Hell yeah! Nice to have someone over 6'9" on board for next year.

Also - a white guy!

Yep, Foxen is expendable. Only need one Christian on a team, one academic elite and one white guy. Good Bye Christian Foxen.

 

[EBChoop]

Updated video. Highlights above were from summer '16 in U17 World Championships. This is from U18 European Championships this past summer. Also, he will have spent 2 years at Brewster Academy playing top prep competition.

Unlike Amida he knows how to use his body. He's got great balance and follows the ball even after making a great play.

I guess recruiting has really changed when we are excited by composite recruiting number 101, 173 and 303 joining us. It sucks we aren't even sniffing the top 50 recruits. I know these guys fit a role on the team but these aren't the normal recruits we were getting even when we got DHAM, Adams and Gilbert.
