Brooks Barnhizer - 2021 Wing (Northwestern)

New offer. Lafayette Jeff guard. Solid three-level scorer. I believe Butler is his first high-major offer - Detroit and Western Kentucky issued offers a bit ago.

 

Mark Barnhizer's son, long time successful Indiana high school coach at various stops plus two wins in the Indiana-Kentucky Series. It is always good to have coach's son
in the program.

 

Love it. Let’s lock up these 2021 in-state kids.

 

We did okay with another Jeff player roughly 15 years ago.

Avery Sheets? He was from McCutcheon.

 

Really? I thought he was from Jeff. Ugh.

Lafayette Central Catholic is where he started at.

 

Wow! You guys really know your basketball. Impressive.

Go Dawgs!

 

which aau program did he play for this summer? Also, how big is he?

 

6'5 maybe 6'6

says JSI Elite dont know them

 

I believe that was for 2018?

 

I believe the last player from Lafayette Jeff was "Vanilla Thunder" Mike Miller (transfer from Cincy)

 

For those wondering, Butler picked up a CB for Barnhizer a couple of days ago.

Do.Not.Want.

But of course it is leaning Butler...we are by far the best offer he has. This was a bad offer ad screamed of desperation. If LaVall and company knew what was about to happen to them in the month-two months which they offered...no way this kid gets an offer.

 

Given how well they evaluated and closed on talent in 2020, do you think it's possible they are ahead of the curve here as well?

 

Personally-no. I did some asking around from some Indiana guys that follow the hell out of recruiting, like more than we do. They all agreed it was an extreme reach. 2020 was huge. But each talent was not a reach. Even Wilmouth is #1 in his state. The others are all top 150. This seems like an old school Butler offer rather than what we saw with Battle and this 2020 class. Shrug. He'll commit and that'll be that. Maybe he can be used in some capacity. We're gonna find out.
