Showing my age here, but Budjoso reminds me a lot of Lenny Wilkins. Smooth lefty, plays under control, good hands, finds the open man, soft jumper.

Welcome to Loyola Isaiah!

Yes, we agree on his many basketball attributes and potential upside. The fact that he's a lefty is going to be a plus, I think. But the young man also had sense enough to choose a superior school in an exciting city.

I wonder if coaches at Sunrise have taken a new approach to advising prospects with Loyola offers after the Roosevelt Smart experience, and seeing how well Kansas kids Richardson and Custer have done in their careers and development at Loyola.

Great to have a promising commit at the PG spot, hope he has a good year at Sunrise and stays healthy.

Very solid prospect. Congrats to Isaiah and the coaching staff!

Cooper Kaifes just followed Isaiah Bujdoso on twitter... May be another commit coming down the pipe?

Update: to be fair both of them are Kansas kids, so it may be nothing, but the timing certainly makes it suspect in our favor. A bunch of UNI coaches also recently followed Kaifes, but he didn't follow any back. Really some rip-roaring social media action that may amount to nothing hahaha.

Blers, you're going to have to update the front page roundup sooner than expected!

YEAAAAAAH.

Another 3 stat recruit (rivals, scout, and 247, his verbal commits page is outdated like agunanne’s was). More importantly this class addresses 3 big needs

1. Post presence
2. Point guard
3. 3 pt shooting

My guess is the last spot is a wing, but we already have Uguak and Avery in the cards for next year. So lots of flexibility. Long game with Finke? Push to complete the class with Justice? Lots to be excited about.

Potentially only one spot left, correct? Assuming these guys all sign in November(?) we could see things cool down a bit.

Shereef Mitchell retweeted Cooper's announcement, could be nothing but it's out there

Dansen with the detective work! Wonder if they visited together (like Wade and Justice did) it had some AAU overlap?

I’m probably with Ahunte that things cool down but that’s an interesting wrinkle. I don’t know if we’d double up on point guards in one class but could be something to watch!

My count is 9 for next year with 2 others who may return.

1 Lucas Williamson 6-4 190 G FR Chicago, Ill./Whitney Young
4 Bruno Skokna 6-4 175 G SO Zagreb, Croatia/
10 Adarius Avery 6-5 190 G JR Arlington, Tenn./Arlington/Connors State
12 Christian Negron 6-7 215 F FR Elgin, Ill./Larkin
23 Cam Satterwhite 6-4 175 G SO Gilbert, Ariz./Gilbert Christian
25 Cam Krutwig 6-9 260 C FR Algonquin, Ill./Jacobs
Aher Uguak 6-7 210 F SO Edmonton, Alberta/Harry Ainlay/New Mexico
Frank Agunanne 6-8 240 C HS La Lumiere, Ind.
Isaiah Bujdoso 6-2 171 PG HS Hamilton, Canada/Sunrise Christian(KS)

Possibles:
5 Marques Townes 6-4 210 G RS JR Edison, N.J./St. Joseph/Fairleigh Dickinson
13 Clayton Custer 6-1 185 PG RS JR Overland Park, Kan./Blue Valley Northwest/Iowa St

that means we may sign at least 2 more. We will have to wait until season's end to see if Custer or Townes return. I hope they do, but if not that will be 4 more. Please let me know if I am missing someone.

I think next year's pick up of a big man & a point were the number 1 & 2 priorities. Well done. Another powerful power forward would be nice.

I think LU's wins this season will correspond to the number of minutes Jackson plays at his natural power forward position (he played all his minutes at center last season). The more minutes at power forward, the more wins.
