Fred and his staff have worked very hard to show they value the in-state kids in the last few years. They’re making huge progress and the talent is starting to blossom.

 In-state recruiting became a priority for Loenser as soon as he started recruiting post-Abdelmassih.

He didn’t ever sign though did he? Just a verbal commit for a while.

Frager hasn’t signed yet either.

But he said he’s 110% committed so that is the equivalent to signing.

Is that how that extra 10% is accounted for. . .

Did a bit of research on Quora.  Granted I cannot guarentee anything; but an average male in the U.S. will grow between 2 and 6 inches from ages 15 to 18.  Much depends on genetics, nutrition and overall health.  

So Braden seems to have the potential to gain some height prior to landing on campus.  For comparison sake, look at the height gain by Eli...

Signed.

And reclassifying up.

That was kind of surprising news about Braden Frager classifying up. I mean, he's Yvan Ouedraogo young. He's still like 16 years old. So when I saw he signed, it took me by surprise. I thought he was a '25 recruit and assumed I must just have been mistaken.

 

But, not only is he classifying up, he's also enrolling in college during what should be his junior year of HS.

 

I'll take it. I think it's good for us.

This makes me very happy.

I had the same reaction. Like "why is he signing right now if he's a year out"?

Let the Ulis rumor mill begin.

We're straight up at 13 scholarships right now. We do NOT have room for another player for this season unless someone leaves.

 

In order for Braden to enroll for this spring, we'd have to make room.

That was what I was trying to think. If we have to create room, there's an obvious candidate that will likely be shown the door.

Is Sam on scholarship and if so could he be reduced to walk-on status to make room?

No, Sam is a walk-on.

[hhcmatt]

Unless I'm very much mistaken we had 2 available scholarships

Since he's joining the team in the 23-24 season, would be count towards this year's numbers, or next year's? 

[Norm Peterson]

@hhcmatt I think the question is how many open spots do we still have for THIS season.

 

Because if he enrolls for the spring semester, he would be able to participate beginning on graduation day in December, a month away from now. He would not be allowed to enroll if we're at our limit. So, we must be planning on getting under that limit.

 

So, who's gone?

Robin jumped the gun. He's enrolling in June.

I gotta think he'd count for now. I don't think they could allow him to enroll unless we had room. So they must figure we'll have room.

Dick.

[Norm Peterson]

I was about to start a poll asking "who do you think is leaving in order to make room for Braden Frager to enroll for spring semester?"

 

C'mon Robin. Attention to detail, my man. You can't do that to us.

No...I am sure his name is Robin

Would have been weirdly impressive for Frager to graduate from HS 1.5 years early and burn up a redshirt on half a year.  I'd assume the plan is to come in a year early and redshirt so he gets up to speed on Hoiball
