Looks impressive on that video. A 6’8” lefty who can bury it from deep, has a good handle for a guy his size, including going strong to his right, plus court awareness and passing skill. Hard to tell the level of comp on these videos, and not enough evidence of how he plays defensively, but there’s a lot to like. Hope we can land this kid.
A typical Pike recruit, a little under the radar kid. Love to see his reaction when he sees our new APC...
Interest from a lot of good programs.
I like this kid. A light version of the type of kid Michigan beats the crap out of us with every year.

We can always use a 6'8 ...player.....that can shoot the rock
Name calling will get you nowhere .This is a message board where fans express their opinions.
Yeah, as I was watching the video, I couldn't help but think "Brazdeikis-lite".
Kid won't wow you athletically, but he has a nice stroke from 3-pt range, has a deft touch around the basket (knows how to "finish"), and seems to have good court awareness and passing ability.
Offensively, he's definitely a take, a good "stretch 4" kind of guy. But we can't tell whether he has good lateral movement and quicks to play defense at this level, or the strength to bang down low.
Agree on these videos like to see not just scoring. Some rebounds in traffic and defense would help his cause.
He sure looks good to me. I hope he loves his visit. Many of his 3's were way beyond the arc.We could use him for sure.
This kid is the equivalent to the sharpshooters that Iowa, Wisconsin and other schools have. This would be a good get.
He looks really good. Can drive to hoop and has moves, deadly from outside and I’d bet an ace from the line. He’s exactly the kind of kid who kills us. A lefty at his size who can shoot like that is a welcome addition.
I believe those games are from the U20 Sweden national team in the Euro Championship. I think next season will be his first in the states.
I guess the APC isn't as nice as what WK has to offer since many folks said that was the issue.
Seems like we can't beat out a B1G team when involved and can't effectively leverage the B1G and our brand new resources when not.
Hope I am wrong.
Do you ever see a QB's video showing sailed passes or Int's? How about a batter's baseball video showing him strking out? We all know these things happen in those sports just like missing shots in basketball. But's called a highlight video for a reason. Actually common sense reasons.
I know the reasons why and that is why coaches attend practices and tournaments to get a more complete picture of recruits talent.
Western Kentucky head coach Rick Stansbury and his 12 postseason trips is a pretty persuasive and formidable recruiter.
That might be. However, WKU is still a different level of school/exposure/competition. We obviously don't know what in this kids head and it could be about play time or some other factors but it's Pike's 4th year here and we really need to be out-recruiting schools like Western Kentucky for kids like this.
Maybe we should recruit some Russians. At least three or four of the members of the women’s volleyball team are from Russia.
I agree but the won/loss record since joining the B1G makes it difficult to close on recruits who have perceived better options.Winning on the court enhances winning in recruiting..
WKU has the 16th most victories in the history of the NCAA. Solid results through the years that we can only dream about here.

On Instagram, Ron and Geo are asking for Rutgers fans to follow Oskar and show some love.
I think that is a rather strong indication that those players want this recruit to play for Rutgers next season.Rutgers needs front court players with size that can shoot.
