Nate Buss is the only comparison I can come up with. Lanky shooter that isn't ever going to play inside.

Sounds about right. His AAU is pushing him as Alec Peters 2.0. Both played for the Illinois Irish. So did Matt Chastain.

Curious to hear if fan bases of any of these teams are really high on him at this point.

He's a strange one.

He does very well in the AAU circut. He is highly regarded there. He hardly sees the floor for his HS team. UNI fans would take him, but would rather land wing Tywhon Pickford from the Twin Cities this year.

Are you thinking of the right guy? I think Bruninga averaged 35+ for his high school team.

He must have the wrong kid, as Taylor was the Peoria Journal Star small school player of the year. He did average nearly 35 a game:

Yeah, I was thinking the kid from Valley - Blake Brinkmeyer.

My mistake. The B names threw me a loop on tha tone.

All good! What are UNI(and ISUr if any are reading) opinions on him this far into the recruiting season? As an LUC fan I kinda just shrug at his numbers since in terms of size we need someone who can play down low while he seems more like a shooting type. We also are the only team that offered a 4 for 4 from my understanding so my thoughts on him are kinda skewed.

From what I've read, he is not an inside player, as he'd rather float out to the 3 point line. Who knows though, maybe he could be a good stretch 4, but would definitely have to hit the weight room hard.
