BU commit- 2016- Koch Bar

Bradley commit Koch Bar transfers from West Oaks Academy in Orlando to Jacksonville Arlington Country Day School (ACD) -
but also his basketball coach and two other basketball players all transferred as well - including 7-3 Chol Marial.

this is noted to be a huge step up as ACD is a "nationally-known power" and "a national brand."

One other teammate of Koch Bar at West Oaks - just verballed to DI - but he's leaving West Oaks and headed to IMG,
..and one other of the ACD kids has also verbaled to the same DI

Koch Bar has been competing with his Indiana Elite AAU team this weekend at the 2015 Adidas Indiana Shootout in Indianapolis.

Indiana Elite has several teams competing in this event, but Koch's Bar's team must have been the one IE team that got eliminated, since he posted this Instagram Saturday night saying it was his last game for the Indiana Elite program-

It was shown on ESPNU on the west coast today. I didn't watch real close but he seemed to play about 10 minutes in each half. As in this type of event he played against one of the top high school centers in the country.

Koch Bar's Indiana Elite teammate Bol Riek (Mooseheart HS) is a 7-3 Class of 2017 center that Bradley is recruiting.

He had a fairly good summer- and here are a few updates on him... he is still somewhat of a project..

-he just got his first offer- from New Mexico State

t, for some reason I thought he was a 2016 recruit. Did I get it wrong or did he reclassify.

[tornado]

are you referring to Bol Riek as a 2016 recruit? Koch Bar is a 2016 recruit -
but that preceding post was about one of Koch Bar's AAU teammates Bol Riek

as far back as I can find Bol Riek appears to have always been a 2017 recruit.

Here is a reference in 2013 saying that 2013-14 was his freshman year in high school -
so 2014-15 would be soph, 2015-16 his junior and 2016-17 would be his senior year
- that would make him a 2017 recruit.

Sorry, I had found the answer and thought I had deleted my post.

I was referring to the 7 footer and since corrected my sheet to be a 2017 possible recruit.

Apologies again for my mistake.

Arlington Country Day just picked up another top talented kid - a top Canadian kid from Class of 2018, a talented 6-1 shooting guard

Interestingly - once again, there's a strong connection with BU Recruit Marquell Fraser...
Lugentz Dort played this summer on the same team, Adidas Nation U18, with Marquell Fraser!
