Was he on Perk this past year? @HoozGotNext I don’t remember him from watching some Bliss highlights.

No Cochran just transferred to Perkiomen. He’s really good. I noticed Williford was at a couple of his games in April, K-Low Elite. But didn’t know at the time what that was about because freaking Adidas doesn’t have rosters/box scores/nada.

They let NBA teams come before college coaches? I guess it makes sense - no restrictions from the NCAA

Oof, rough game for Williford.

Gurdak with 13/15/3 though, that’s solid. Would assume he’s more of a blue collar, back to the basket type big that’s not gonna have a ton of range.

The only negative in Gurdak’s box score being that 1-4 from the FT stripe suggests you’re probably right about his general profile. (Although obviously tiny sample size)

Are we gonna be in the market for a 2025 big? I love a productive guy like Gurdak, even without the range. While bigs of his archetype are limited as NBA prospects, they are often valuable multi-year college contributors.

This XZavion Mitchell kid has been BALLING the last week. Probably a strong contender for the Wisconsin kid we decide to recruit for 2025. No idea who will emerge as the West coast 2025 kid we recruit. Winters Grady?

Nate Ament and Jordan Scott figure to meet the instate kids we go after but end up getting blue blood offers and pass on us quota.

Chance Mallory the ā€œUVA lands a Virginia kid every 6 yearsā€ quota?

Jackson Keith is the North Carolina kid we go after.
Jacob Wilkins the Atlanta market we dabble in here and there.

Just missing a Jersey/North east kid to complete the 2025 recruiting picture

Good highlight package here. He’s teammates with Austin Williford/Tony and Williford have watched him a ton over the years. At Gonzaga out of DC.
