Jeseph Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Nice find, I'll take Skogman and White together! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 those are 2 very solid pickups in my opinion if we pull it off. liking the start to this class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBulls Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 Who knows- lots of very strong offers, internet says Marquette getting involved. But I agree- would feel much better about our big man concerns with these two. Think he and White would be great gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
961819 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 All this recent activity makes me feel better. I was getting pretty annoyed at the staff for seeming to not care about the 5 open spots, if we can get these two and a tall (6’5+) guard or two things will look a lot better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmo Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Hopefully we can get an athletic 4 like Agee to pair with these guys (if we get them or course) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBulls Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 Agreed. Would love to land these two to shore up our front court for next year and the future. Combo forward (Agee or Rojas, for example). Athletic wing guard. PG or combo, preferably an incoming freshman to develop behind Jordan/Segu. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t forget about Segu and Jeenathan (hopefully) having Davonta-like improvement, if we can land these two and then Agee that will be a very good class without all the high ⭐️ ratings Hopefully we can get someone that can play lockdown D to sub in when Davonta needs a breather Edited April 20, 2019 by 961819 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 A three-star recruit, the second-ranked one in the state of Wisconsin. Has some very high major offers https://247sports.com/Recruitment/David-Skogman-122778/RecruitInterests/ https://www.verbalcommits.com/players/david-skogman 21 offers at one point recorded. I think he'd dominate the MAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooleyBull06 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I think the fact that he took an official visit speaks volumes that we are being considered by him. So he may have 21 offers but only strongly considering however many. Hopefully he chooses us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
961819 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) Did some research after watching his highlights and was wondering why this 6’10 dude that can hit 3’s, midrange J’s, and is athletic around the rim doesn’t have offers from some blue blood schools. His junior year of high school he went into full cardiac arrest on the court. Only had a 10% chance of living, no prior history of heart conditions in his family. He had surgery and doctors couldn’t figure out what caused it so they didn’t have enough evidence to say he should stop playing basketball. Perhaps the uncertainty is keeping some schools at an arms length. But I’d gladly take a player that can score in every way that’s averaging 17.4 ppg, 16 rpg, and 3 blocks per game Edited April 21, 2019 by 961819 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xDerekRx Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Totally love this guys look and game. These would be 2 great additions and make our bigs core nice for next season. His offer list is not too shabby at all. Would feel pretty excited with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Poke for Akron had the same thing happen but not as bad as this. Man the way he hits the three and can play reminds me of the Hauser brothers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminiscent of how we ended up with Justin Moss, and that turned out well for us (on the court lol). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBminicre Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) Really would love this guy... imagine getting a recruit that has an offer from Texas Tech, Nebraska and Marquette? Seems like a new level for us, which is something I didn’t think I was going to be able to say after this past years success...

Jeseph Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Skogman is visiting Utah St on Wednesday. Let's hope we're working hard on this one, the interest/competition is definitely there from other teams! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblue32 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Looks like Utah St. is visiting him rather than him going out there which may be a good sign. I also read that he's only been offered a preferred walk-on spot at Wisconsin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
