Per my other comments about earlier recruiting offers and focus, delaying on this kid baffles me. Mom and dad are basketball / volleyball alums. Kid's a 6'11 2020 that is going to have a similar path to Beran. Read the snippet that Wisconsin said about this kid below which was tweeted out so now every other school that follows him has seen this. He reminds them of Kaminsky in HS. He's a knockdown 3pt shooter. Other colleges this year are going to see that the kid can also play the post with Bacot leaving. It says in dad's Twitter profile he's an honor role student at a private school. Kid has an offer from an Ivy already. I just watched his highlight film from dad's profile, and the kids knocking down 25-foot 3s, looks like he can handle the basketball, at the very end of the clip does a euro-step floater and he still has two more years of high school basketball?

Only way he's going to end up as a member of the Tribe is if they jump in quick, consistent, and strong and have such a good relationship than when Wisconsin and all the other schools come knocking like they did with Beran it'll be too late for them. Also different from beran you've got parents that went there.
"LAS VEGAS -- From his playing days, Wisconsin assistant coach Dean Oliver has made all sorts of connections throughout the country. One of those relationships happens to be with Garner Road Team Richmond head coach Del Harris.
So when Harris called up Oliver telling he to check out class of 2020 power forward Burke Smith, who draws parallels to former UW All-American and National Player of the Year Frank Kaminsky, the Badgers have been able to get a jump on recruiting a potential hidden gem."
I also was reading the comments and one of the guys indicated that they believed he was a better shooter than Ben Carlson who's a top 50.
