Joey Brunk - 2016 Center (Indiana)

No I lambasted you for insinuating you have a better grip on talent than the coaching staff.

" Kevin Durant is roughly the same height as Duncan. I guess they should play exactly the same and be compared to one another. "

Isn't that my whole point ? I was pointing out Brunk isn't versatile and doesn't have the skill set to play any position other than the five. Look if he were 7' 1" I could understand a Top 100 ranking.

 

How has halftime_floor_sweeper not been banned?

 

I'm not even going to humor you with a response other than this.

 

Scout is the only recruiting service that's come out with rankings for the 2016 that has Brunk rated in the top 100. While I'm very grateful that Butler has a Scout page, especially for the first set of rankings that come out for a class, it's typically more about who the analyst(s) have seen vs. who should actually be ranked in what spots. Rivals doesn't have him in the Top 150, but he might very well end up in that eventually, and ESPN doesn't have him in their rankings either. At this point I don't think it's my place to say where a player should be ranked. Brunk is a highly skilled player for his position, and considering he's still got 2 more years of high school left, I would expect him to expand his game beyond what he's got right now.

 

Banned for what ?

People on the BU_Hoops recruiting board take everything I tweet way too seriously. I am NOT an authority on Butler. Just a fan.

--------

Personally I posted that original tweet because it was a different perspective on Brunk. Obviously Ari has watched Brunk live or on the Net. I am more interested in the "why's" of that original tweet.

Oklahoma is the latest school to offer Southport center Joey Brunk (2016).

 

Purdue basketball recruiting targets enjoy camp battle

Loaded event. Guy/Swanigan/Walton/Edwards/Brunk/Scruggs/Goodin

 

Xavier has offered Brunk and he is one of their top Center targets in 2016. I would be shocked if Brunk left the midwest. He has a lot of interest from Purdue, Xavier, IU, Ohio state, Msu, and others.

Thanks to Butler, Indiana, Stanford, Virginia and Xavier for stopping by Historic Southport Fieldhouse to see workouts today.

For a player we haven't offered yet, we sure watch Joey Brunk alot.

A number of coaches at Southport open gym on Tuesday. Izzo, Painter expected in this week for Joey Brunk (2016).

Xavier's Chris Mack hit up Southport & North Central. At Southport joined by Tony Bennett, Johnny Dawkins, & assistants from Butler/Indiana

-------

Appears as though Butler had assistants at Southport Tues nite for Brunk/Scruggs. BMill evidently was somewhere else watching another player.

2016 C Joey Brunk (@JoeyBrunk) is taking a step forward with his athleticism. Really starting to show up in his game

 

Thought Brandon was watching Kyle Guy?

 

He watched Guy in the morning.

 

I think he watched Guy Tues morning, then went over to Wilmington, Ohio to watch Cumberland later that day. Holtmann probably watched Brunk at Southport.
