One Erik Buggs HS players is getting interest from Valpo. He's a big PG.

It's obvious that team has a few "Buggs" to work out of their long range shooting game.

Interesting. I guess you still have to recruit for a position even if you don't project for it to be a need these days. Another 5-10 but very skilled PG

"South Oldham High School has been firmly in the mix for the 8th region title almost every year for as long as I can remember. Part of their tradition is having high IQ players who can really shoot the ball. The latest in that long line is Junior sharpshooter Luke Morrison. Morrison is a 6'5 wing who is off to a tremendous start for the Dragons this season. Luke is averaging 22 points per game through 4 games while shooting a ridiculous 61% from three and making 3.5 shots per game from beyond the arc. Heading into this season, Luke's main goal was, "to get stronger. Also to tighten up my ball handling, particularly in the open court."  So far so good as Morrison has shown an improved ability to push the pace with the ball in his hands."

From highlights, looks to be a good shooter with some size. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/7728141/5c32b03f32ddbc05449b8ce2



Not comforting that we're the only D1 interested in him though.

But should we take some solace in knowing he's not a 3 star transfer from Nebraska or a 4 star out of OSU?  Anyone up for back to the basics?!?!?

I agree with this... It's been a rough two years... I'd still take a bad year in the MVC over a good year in the HL though (though I concede that perception may be shifting on that for many of you).

There. I fixed it for you.  ;D

Glad to see we are looking for some bigs and besides that he is already a Crusader.

Sam Dekker went to Sheboygan Lutheran.

Valpo is recruiting Wisconsin and Minnesota pretty hard. The Todd Townsend and Matt Bowen effect.

They better be as successful as the previous guys were at recruiting Chicago/Illinois.

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"

Welcome and thanks for the post.  After five posts (I think) you will be able to add links.  Connor seems like the kind of kid we need.

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.

Five rising seniors ready to emerge
Look for these five under-the-radar players to enhance the Class of 2020.

I'd like to see him emerge in his senior season with a Crusader scholarship offer.

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?
