Wanted to bring attention to Connor Linke 6'9" PF from St Charles North (IL).  His parents are both alumni, mom Jenny Walton played Volleyball in early 90's.  Just picked up an offer from Army West Point.  Not sure if can compete at MVC level but seems a bit under the radar with his connection to the University.

Nice video on his verbal commits page.  I can't post a link but you can Google "verbal commits connor linke"

Surprised we didn't get in on this kid once Bradley offered.

Hey, it looks like, as a junior, that he already knows (a) what a dunk is (b) how to rebound and (c) can sink a 15' jumper with a guy in his face. @ 6-9 these are commendable skills that should get him a good look by our staff. Being a Valpo legacy kid couldn't hurt either.

Based on a small unit of measure, he looked decent.  What are we missing, why would we not take a scholarship look at him?  You mentioned he might not be MVC level and I was curious as to why?

I'm not qualified to say who the Valpo staff should or shouldn't offer...and haven't even seen him play in person.  My comment was based upon only having 1 lower level offer, but hoping he can improve his stock in Sr season.
