247 Composite has him as a 4*.
#1 in Co and 88 nationally.

Edit- I don’t want to link another site to this board.

He does have a Rivals profile but it says he’s from Missouri not Colorado?

If it weren’t for all the NIL shit I’d be inclined to think that there is some sleeping giant coming awake stuff going on these days with RU basketball.

At the very least, we’ve certainly arrived at a place where a lot of top players are taking a good look at us.
 
His Twitter lists himself as 6'9 as does a post he retweeted so maybe he grew from 6'7
 
Insane to even think this way...is there room in the 24 class? I know, we'll make room, but seriously if Harper and Ace are still in play...

For some reason people miss how it works every year in college basketball. There is always room. It just takes a conversation with the last guy on the bench. "Im sorry son, we all had big hopes for you when you came here and we really appreciate what you have done for the program, but right now I just don;t see you getting much playing time here. Now I know you love to play basketball and if you want to get out on the court again, I know the coach from Southwest Lesser College State and he thinks you would be a great asset to their program..."

Some coaches clearly push kids out the door though and Pike seems to be on the opposite side of that spectrum, but we'll see what happens. It's the best problem to have. Too much talent, too much demand, not enough spots
 
Miller or Palmquist will probably be gone by then to open up a spot.

Will be very interesting. Pike has defined the program by finding under recruited kids and getting them to play up. If he starts pulling in a ton of high-level talent, there is always a risk he may lose the soul of the program.

Certainly want to get the best players and win– but the foundation of the program is kids with a chip on their shoulder who are blue-collar workers. Bring in a team of studs who have been told they are the best their whole lives and the dynamic changes as does team chemistry.

Will be interesting to see how he manages the team.

NIL is a bigger issue with football. For the most part, basketball has been able to work around it.
