Recruiting - 2020 Class (Optimal Vision Class)


Recommended Posts

In previous years, we've done a "Signed Recruit Thread" for each incoming class in order to track their senior/prep seasons. I didn't start one this season because we have a one-man class going into the spring and because Strickland plays for a prep team that doesn't post stats and doesn't have them available in a local paper or anything.

Based on recent social media posts I've seen, Strickland went for 24 and 8 in a win last week and posted a 40-piece the other night. I've heard the staff say a few times lately (including before these games) that he's had a great season and this indeed appears to be the case.

Thanks. We are so focused on the existing folks we'll have next season assuming no other I or S s tend to overlook his possible contributions. weird so hard to track him in this era.

Anyone have any info on this? I'm guessing this isn't a 2020 recruit and will move to applicable thread if not:

A Swede? If he is as good as Axel Gustafsson (also Nordic but from Iceland) let's get him. Just the fact that he is here in at the Chaifetz doing practice is a very good sign. He had to travel all the way out here to practice with us, this is a sign of more than passing interest.

I am sure he is visiting other schools during his time in the USA.  We are not his only stop nor did he just come for us alone.

He was playing at the National prep school invitational somewhere in the states on Sunday

Translated: Another of Sweden's outstanding players in the #FIBAU18Europe Div B was André Jonsson Lorentsson (PF 6'8 '' 01). A 4 with threat in T3 and ability to run the field, is not comfortable playing on a boat but after all his role was specialist.

IMHO, if he can't play on a boat, do we even want him?

I probably spent way too much time looking it up, but apparently "bote" ("boat") in Spanish basketball terminology means "dribble."

See #88.
