2025 Recruiting: Mathew Able

Not all that surprising. He’s a big guard. Rumor is staff is going much bigger and older next season. His age would be the surprising part

Does Karl Krauser have any eligibility left?

We need a proper 4 that can rebound and bang heads inside.

Don't be too surprised if Tarris Reed is that in some lineups next year. Paired with Reibe who can shoot from outside that could work. It would be a problem against teams with quick 4s, but it can still work.

Perplexed that we are showing interest here. I would think having four freshmen on board already for 2025 we would concentrate on hitting the portal hard for a stud PG and a four man who can guard.

watching St. John’s it reminded me that regardless of the players we get we need those with a “motor’ willing to guard and play defense and blanket cover people when they need to and be able to beat people off the dribble when they have to. And of course they need to be able to handle the rock under pressure.Someone like Shabazz Napier or boatright would be perfect preferably both

OK. I just watched some Stirtz highlights. Looks a little like Cam. My one concern is the level of competition. He may be athletic and savvy enough to handle the athleticism of the competition in the MVC. But how will he look when he moves up? He as more size than Mahaney, but I bet Mahaney would have a really nice highlights reel if he played the season in the MVC rather than the Big East.

It's kinda impossible to predict. I thought the jump from St. Mary's to us would not be that big. But it has been an enormous jump from a physical standpoint. At the same time, Cam was at Loyola for a couple of years before making the jump, and there were no issues. RJ also jumped up from a low D1 and ended up being an all-BE caliber player his senior year.

Stirtz looks like he can play. I like how he uses pace/hesitation to create space and openings. Cam was an absolute master at that. While I think he's garnered some NBA interest, I'd be surprised if he would go pro. He would be a perfect fit at the PG here. And full disclosure, I said the same thing about Aidan, so I know nothing.
