Another recruiting update, the big 7'0" sophomore from Wisconsin, Joe Hedstrom has not heard from us since entered the portal, but has heard from Illinois State and Valpo out of the Valley.

Looks like he’s committed to Valpo

Valpo has had an interesting offseason already. Pulling in 2 kids from Wisconsin and another from Michigan St.

Playing time sells. Lottich seems content slapping a bandaid on the problem and saving his job every year. Rather than fixing the real issue, that no incoming Freshman wants to have a full career there.

Maybe that's the best they can put together with their facilities anyways.

If we are going to use our last scholarship on someone, it should be transfer F Ryan Hawkins from Atlantic IA and NW Missouri State.

Already seeing some Twitter chatter that he's going P5. The last 2 seasons for the D2 national champs he's averaged 22+ ppg and shot 45%+ from 3. Seems like he'd be a great get, but might be beyond our reach.

Yea, I would imagine. Im not smart enough to project players like that. I am confident he will be a good player wherever he goes. Just not sure on role at various levels.

Yea, I don't know to much about the kid other than his stats that are available online. With that said, here is a new article where he says he wants to stay close to home. Drake, Iowa St, Iowa, Creighton, etc are all closer to his hometown than us, but who knows.

That’s a hell of a thing for a DII player to make that jump. Any info on which schools are involved?

Reading the attached article, he’s probably done all he can at NWMSU, so you can’t blame him.

Yea, he's going well beyond our reach. Apparently he has a call with Kansas today. It is a bit funny, he said he grew up an Iowa State fan, so he won't even consider going to Iowa.

Yea, was never going to happen. I am curious how it translates... bench player? Starter? All conference? etc

[Trapped in California]

If the kid gets a call from Kansas to play basketball, how can you not pursue that? Good Lord, grab that brass ring.

If it was the Kansas Football coach calling, that entirely another scenario. Change your telephone number.

He committed to Creighton today. I am interested in seeing how good he is.

I would imagine they just showed him videos of Doug.

Coach Jake recently reiterated that AJ Green would be fully cleared by mid-August. Should hopefully give him a few months to get everything up to speed for the season.
