Recruit Lists v2.0

One thing is for certain, 2014 class needs an impact Big. If we have to go Juco again and get some players averaging 8 points and 5 fouls again, we will be in trouble everytime Percy needs rest.

Was Percy considered an impact big?

You got that right. An impact big, hopefully someone that can bang in the paint versus a stretch the floor 3-point shooter, IMO. And then a wing that can shoot the rock to go with Custer. Obviously we are sitting pretty good at the 4 and 2 spots right now.

No. Not that I recall. I think he and his buddy Henton were both 100-150 type guys. May not have even been ranked there. Both are showing to be fine players however.

No, but by the time 2014 comes along, he will be considered a good big, maybe one of the best ones in the conference with as much experience he will have.

I disagree. I think O'Mara is a gem. Heard Illinois is after him hard!

Would love vaughn and terrell for obvious reasons, would like some elite length though, that team wouldn't have anyone over 6'8" besides percy.

Yep, and we would be okay if we got another Percy in 2014. Obviously you hope to get someone considered an impact guy, but I am not going to panic if we do not.

If he were to commit I would be ecstatic.

I concur with the above statement.

Did an update to the Lists today, just in names and interest/offer for the 2014, 2015 & 2016 classes. Still working on additional time to get new pages up and update the ratings and various numbers on the lists as well. Hope everyone is still finding it useful!!

I think we could all live with another Percy caliber big man. You'd classify Percy as a little one dimensional currently but still pretty good overall.

If we get a player that lacks in certain areas on 2014, I'd prefer one that is more defensively orientated as we'll have plenty of fire power with Percy, Niang, Jones, Thomas, MM, Naz and SDW.

**Snyder21** · 12-10-2012, 10:18 PM

I'd like a motivated, hard working Norvel Pelle

**gocubs2118** · 12-10-2012, 10:28 PM

Iowa St will be in Grand Rapids tomorrow night to see Akex Illikainen. Gophers will be there Saturday. Alex on track to score 1,000 soon

He had 39 points and 27 rebounds in one game last week.

27 rebs is complete domination of your opponent. That's ridiculous.

with finals, and no game until Sat, I assume almost everyone (staff) is out on the road the early part of the week visiting recruits...

I'm from northern Minnesota and I actually played basketball against Grand Rapids a couple times. The competition isn't exactly the best and they play a lot of small teams. The stats are probably inflated a lot.
