2018-2019 Recruiting

[mbenecke]

This is an insane suggestion, and I've only seen him because he went to my high school, but Bryce Williams of Archbold can flat out ball. He's a 6'3 guard that sees the court well, can shoot, and has the ability to finish with contact inside. He also has a knack for finding the open man.

He had 30 on Saturday in the District Finals (a 9 point win over #5 in the state in D3) and his stat line for tonight against #3 Ottawa Glandorf in the Regional Semifinals here at BG was as follows:

32 points on 9/13 from the field, including 4/7 from three and 10/12 from the line. He also grabbed 4 boards and had 2 blocks.

I've watched the kid grow up and he has literally shot hundreds of shots before school each morning since he was in 3rd or 4th grade. There's probably no shot we would offer him, as he's "just" a D3 kid, but he is something special to watch.

Not really a highlight video, more of a recap of tonight's game, but he's #2 in Blue, and the kid who is interviewed afterwards:

I think we are going to go Juco for atleast 1. Probably 2.

We damned well better be.

We desperately need a real PG.
We need at least 1, probably 2, long athletic wing players.
We now could probably use another big man, even if he doesn't play much between Wiggins/Gadsen.

I have a feeling we're going to be suiting up football players next January

Me too.

I would just about guarantee that Huger doesn't use all of our scholarships now...which is getting to be a stupid ass trend. And the odds of going out and finding legit contributors right now aren't good.

I wouldn't even be looking at HS talent at this point. I'd be looking for Juco and grad transfers.

[Globetrotter]

We did get both Lillard and Wiggins late. So there is hope.

This Fields kid looks impressive. Pairing him with Turner for the next 3 years could be fun to watch.

Some in state bigs still need a home
1. Mark Mayle 6-8 195 Malvern

Seems athletic enough for a backup big this year. Might grow into something. Safety for if Gadsen doesn't
He isn't playing anybody but he looks good doing it.

2. Ross Ryan 6-9 195 Xfer from Centerburg to Pick North

Was hurt this year but seems similar to Mayle.

Both seem like total studs of people. They seem like the Koch type of big. Hopefully Gadsen fills that role but we will need depth at the 5.
