    Hes got an interesting highlight video. I have never claimed to be a master evaluator, but the competition here seems subpar. Id be interested to see him (And I cant believe im going to say this......) in an AAU setting. He does show good passing ability, as well as some solid handles and post moves, but i would like to see it against better competition.

    He seems decent. Not much lift and not the most fluid athlete.

    He'll fit right in with most of our guys!

    there is an AAU highlight on Utube---he has decent range.

    3*--which is type of player that Utah can recruit & develop.

    Just going by the eyeball test, he's definitely got length, and he appears to be physically immature, which is what you'd normally expect from a high school kid who is 6-10 and not getting Valentine's Day cards from Calipari.

    You're right, it's difficult to gage what he brings based on the competition on the video, but watching Poeltl dismantle the freshman Chimezie Metu last year, I'll take upside, some maturation time and hard work from a kid with that kind of undeveloped potential. This kid reminds me of Metu, from 2015-2016. (I wonder what Metu's HS video looked like.)

    New offer. Brock Cunningham, a 6'7" 3/4 player. Not physical at this stage, but seems to be skilled. Has offers from OU, Ok State, Missouri, among others.

    We lost Erik Stevenson, a 2* SG, to Wichita State.

    according to Ubuntu, he committed to WSU immediately after leaving our camp. Ubuntu prayed to the basketball gods on twitter, asking what we have done to offend them and how we can repent.

    I didn't realize he was a 2 star kid. I think SoCalPat must be chasing them off.

    This all started happening when we restored Utefans.net. I blame LA Ute.

    It's amazing to see the weird swing of momentum this coaching staff has had. It started rough (as we expected it would) but by the time LK had a Sweet 16 with D. Wright and hauled in an impressive third recruiting class of Chapman, Kuzma, I. Wright, and Poeltl it seemed like we were on our way to the Promised Land. And then, almost like the swing of a pendulum, it feels like little has gone right since then.

    Oddly, it seems like about the time that the new practice facility was completed (that we all expected to be our recruiting ace up the sleeve) momentum has totally stalled. I hate to be one of those Chicken Little fans, because there's a lot to still be stoked about. But I'll admit, the "easy sledding" I was expecting as a new P5 with a deep history, a good coach, and passionate fanbase hasn't been so easy.

    I'm hoping these are just a couple bumpy years we'll look back on and laugh about, not the beginning of another Ute hoops wasteland that we endured before LK.

    Is it at all possible that he left the camp without a commitable offer?

    Utah recruited Erik hard. Someone they really liked in 2018. Commits to Wichita state the day after leaving Utah's Elite Camp. Ouch.
