Blake Wesley - 2021 Shooting Guard (Offered)

Painter is going to clean up over the next few years, he can coach and recruit. A few years ago Boiler fans wanted him fired!

 

You're going to drive yourself crazy trying to connect the dots each time a school offers a kid in a different class who plays the same position.

Khalif Battle will likely be a wing-type player for us, but we're still going after Eugene Brown and other wings in the 2020 class. Is that a problem?

 

I don't think we're getting Brown, but I would be happy to be completely be wrong. I also can't see into the future of what position either of these kids will play. But they're both 6'4/6'5 and 170 right now... so that seems closer to a 2 to me in high major college ball. Georgetown goes small with Moseley (6'3) at the 3 and big with Pickett (6'8) so who really knows.

 

Offered by Illinois.........

 

Tracking offers within classes is somewhat dumb. Tracking them across different years is really really dumb

 

JMM committed his junior year. Do you think that had any impact on who else was being recruited in that class? You couldn't be more wrong. Again.

 

Did our offers to 2020 guys impact JMM? If Trayce Jackson Davis has wanted to commit would we have not taken it in 2019 because of JMM? Schools don’t just give out one offer at each position and they don’t just take one commitment at each position. With transfers and everything else in college basketball a ton can change very fast.

 

You are both sort of right. Previously committed guys will effect offers to players at the same position if those other players are more or less the same level as the one already there. A player like Jackson Davis is at a level so much higher than someone like JMM, of course, he'd have no bearing on the decision to bring him in -- if he wanted to for some reason.

Butler doesn't really have the ability to recruit the kind of player that just trump everyone else though.

 

I witnessed the Carmel - Center Grove game. Each player going head to head. There was no domination. Each played to what I would call a stalemate.

 

He was on a visit to Notre Dame this weekend...

 

Home opener for football, so not surprising that Brey would invite some kids, especially local ones like Wesley to the game.

 

Unofficial to Purdue next weekend.

 

to your point another 2021 Matthew Cleveland offer

Jeff Meyer was up there a couple of weeks ago as well.



Weird, I thought he was still sitting on a chair in Hinkle all this time.

 

I saw Taylor's tweet earlier and loved it. Let's hope he has the power of persuasion.

 

In the LEAST surprising news of the day, our “friends” in Columbus were in to see him today.
