Official 2024 Panther Basketball Recruit List

[Panther AC]

Not that it matters, but does anyone have any insight as to why Cade Courbat didn't play in Cedar Falls opening game?

Ankle injury. Did play last night in victory over Waterloo West.

I'm going to start updating throughout the season the stats of our two recruits. Redek Born is off to a great start this season. Shoots the ball well, and appears to have a well rounded game. Will Hornseth hasn't faced much competition, yet, and hasn't played much as a result. He has been very efficient, though.

Name	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%	3PT%
Redek Born	19.5	5.3	3.8	1.6	0.2	51.6%	88.0%	41.3%
Will Hornseth	15.6	7.5	2.9	1.2	2.0	73.1%	72.2%	20.0% (1/5)

Any updates on how our recruits are doing in their senior seasons?

Redek's currently at 19 PPG, 5.2 RPG, and 4.0 APG, all leading the team, shooting 42% from 3 and 85% from the line.
Hornseth's at a little over of 17 PPG and a whole lot of rebounds, idk I couldn't find exact data. Currently ranked #3 in Wisconsin according to random newspaper's rankings.

Both are leading their team to great success early on. Hornseth's team is really good, their only loss of the season so far being a two point loss to a team led by a 5-Star Duke commit.

All in all, good stuff so far.

I have been updating that little stat grid I put up, but it doesn't make it the newest post when I just edit it. I will just make a new post when I update it, so everyone knows that's the date it was updated. They are both having great years. Redek has really been outstanding and his percentages are top notch. Hornseth's team is stacked. One of his teammates (Kinziger) is also going to Wisconsin, and a good chunk of their games have been blowouts.

I wonder why Redek didn't get more recruitment

What if you pull that table out and put it into the first post? That would at least keep it from getting lost in the thread over time. Thanks for providing the updates.

Good Idea. I will do that.

Stats are updated as of this morning for our two recruits. They are on the first post of this thread. Redek has been very steady shooting the ball well. Hornseth has been very solid as well. I'm not sure either of these guys move the needle for us a ton next year, but I do think between Hut, Rubin, and Hornseth, we have three guys who can play the 5 for us. That doesn't even include Tytan if we want to play really small. That also doesn't include Courbat if he has continued to develop.

Hornseth is 6'8"-6'9" but he has nice wide shoulders and definitely appears to be able to play down low if needed. I think he has nice potential to keep filling out and be a strong kid down low. Feel free to check out how they are doing as they get ready for state ball soon.

Redek is a walkon, right? I thought I remember that being the conversation initially, but I can't recall for certain. Am I right in thinking that we're one scholarship over with Hornseth?

Redek is a 4 for 5.

Word is that Henry is not using his COVID year and that's where Hornseth's ride is coming from. Cole is going to take the Grad Assistant position to start his coaching career.

Dang, I really liked his unique skill set and fire to the team, but I totally would get it. He’ll be 24 next year and if Rubin played this season he might not have gotten many minutes anyway. Add in Hornseth next year and it may be a similar situation to Betz from last year where moving on is a more appealing decision. Hopefully we can send out on a good note.

Initially I thought the best part of Born’s brother coming here was basically locking in his 5th year here, but he’s looking really good this year. He’s not a natural like his brother, but he does have a significant height advantage. A year in the weight room(180 is rather thin for 6’3) and adjust to the college game is going to be great for him. The fact we don’t have to use a scholarship initially I think is a good strategic use of a roster spot.

Henry's development on a scorer on the block has been great to see.

Always been a great passer.

Thanks for laying that out. I've been wondering and can't believe we could have Nate for two more years. I can only hope he wants a masters and sticks around.

That's painful to see Courbat using a scholarship for another two years. Good kid. Great family. But that hurts.

Secondary question - I've seen nothing on Tanner Jacobson. Is he a walk-on like Hunter or is he going to go outside UNI for college?
