So I'd be curious to know why WIU, SIUE, Indiana State, Loyola, UIC, Wright State, and Valpo didn't offer a scholarship?

Well he's got 2 offers from the MVC and other schools looking at him this week so we'll see if there are more. It doesn't sound like he's a slam dunk to most coaches and that's fine He's going to get a free education somewhere and that's what matters mostComment

I also wonder if the Northern Iowa offer is like a lot of their offers- that he would redshirt the first year, then have 4 years to play. At least 8 of their current rostered players started with a redshirt year.Comment

I have seen other schools mentioned (not counting several DIIs) in to see him...and several coaches (including Bradley) were at the Tournament of Champions last November
not to mention other "legal" alternate ways for coaches to view
btw- what is Taylor Bruninga's 3-pt shooting pct this season?Comment

I heard, just tonight, that Kansas State and Creighton has made contact.Comment

I agree with you. In addition, just because schools have seen him play and don't immediately offer him a scholarship doesn't mean they won't. A lot of coaches take measured steps when evaluating talent and have different processes when offering scholarships. I glad he is getting looked at and I would hope our coaches are looking at him. You don't always have to go to other continents to find basketball players.Originally posted by lefty View PostComment

I am certain that if he chooses to remain un-committed, then he will get more offers.
As we near the spring signing period - no doubt schools will have players leave and many schools, who maybe currently do not have any open scholarships, will look for someone to offer them to... it becomes a feeding frenzy and every available player with talent & even the least known & obscure players start getting more offers.
That's what happened to guys like Brady Ernst, Jordan Nelson, Devan Bawinkle, Hunter Rhodes, Orion's Tanner Williams, Ben Coupet, and others...even some of our guys - Callum Barker, Merritt, and even Darrell Brown - who didn't have the offer he wanted until February last year.
What we see every year is that if they are willing to wait 'til spring, the offers will come...
We have a way to go as the men's basketball spring signing period for LOI's is
April 12, 2017 thru May 17, 2017.
(football & men's soccer signing periods start today)Comment

We know he's visited at least one BIG TEN school....LINK
Also, I have heard that someone saw him at a Bradley game earlier this season - was that accurate?
..and what are the "better things" you refer to Disturbed?Comment

All of his visits have been unofficial visits including this weekends to Vandy.
Drake & Bradley (Wardle) will be in to watch him tonight.
Creighton was very impressed after watching him practice & Coach McDermott should be back here in the next 10-14 days to see him. Loyola-Chicago is also starting to make a strong move on him as well. Coach Moser should be down soon as well.Comment

Creighton might well find themselves with an additional late open scholarship, as one of their guys, Justin Patton, has kinda come out of nowhere and is now being talked up as a LOTTERY PICK - which means it would be hard to expect him to stay in college...
So Creighton might still have 3 openings..Comment
