2019 Basketball Recruiting Thread

[concerned]

Matt Van Komen--Pleasant Grove 7'4" was at the UCLA game last night.

At halftime I walked up the stairs right behind him. It is hard to appreciate 7'4" until you stand close to him---his head barely cleared the top of the exit at the Hunty at the top of the stairs.
Collette is listed at 6'10" --this kid is half a foot taller.
He was sitting right behind Rylan Jones.
They both were staying after the game after most people had left & were talking to each other---this would be Rylan's best assist--landing Van Komen.

You can't teach tall---some people say they want an athletic 6'10" over 7'4"--not so sure after seeing VK in person.

I have read that he is leaning Gonzaga (maybe strongly), but there is still a long way to go.

Hopefully someone pointed out that while we were playing a meaningful late-season game against UCLA last night, Gonzaga was playing a completely meaningless game against San Fransisco, Pepperdine or Santa Clara.
