Some recent footage of Alanzo Frink (among others). Definitely some glimpses but I finished wanting to see more from him. Roselle Catholic is no joke, but still, he looked like about the eighth best player on the floor - just not active enough on the glass or defensively for me. Give me the Omoruyi kid in a couple years though!

From this game I was not impressed with Alanzo Frink.

Is it me, or was that a Naz Reid highlight reel????
How old a Seawolf am I? I followed them during their Final 4 DIII hoops run in 1977-78 (they were called the Patriots then)

Ball, you know anything about this kid Brad Bundschuh from Gill St. Bernard's? I liked what I saw from him – good build, good athlete for a big guy, bangs inside, and can step out and shoot it. I know he's out with a concussion but seems like he has some ability.

Looks like a good one.  Big and can shoot inside and out . Like his size at 6'9 and broad .  Good for AE bigs.

They haven't but it doesn't mean they can't. These guys know infinitely more than I do, but he looks like a quality big.

Kid looks good.   What a crazy (in a good sense) facility they were play in, huh?

Checkmate, he's is underrated in my opinion. First thing is he's been well coached. The Gill St.Bernards coach is one of the best in Tri state area. Kid knows what being accountable is all about.
He's High IQ player also, every kid on Gill's team has to have an IQ. Even the water boy and towel boy must have an IQ. Everything you said he is, is accurate and it translates to this level easily. On the defensive end he hasn't completely figured it out but he tries.

Certainly, everything that's been said about this kid Brad Bundschuh sounds terrific.  So, what's the likely reason that he hasn't received more offers (including from SBU)?

I'd think the reason is relationship based. The whole Gill St.Bernard team plays AAU for Sina Basketball Academy. Their HS coach is Mergin Sina. So literally these kids play for the same guy 12 months a year. HS &a AAU. Coach Sina has a HUGE influence on where these kids end up attending college. No school is getting a player that's under Coach Sina's guidance without building a relationship with him and his staff. Recruiting the kid and his parents will only get you but so far because they will lean on Coach Sina for advise when it all boils down.
Having Relationships is the biggest key in recruiting, in my opinion.

It's tough to get a true feel for what a guy brings to the table with these highlight reels. I'll watch a lot of baseball vids and will see the shortstop throw a seed across the diamond that one time, but what about the ball in the dirt before that and the misplayed grounder afterward? Body language, effort, consistency, that's all stuff you can't make a determination on in a one-minute video. Obvious but I try not to draw too many conclusions. It's all so doctored.

There's definitely some good things to see here with Bundschuh. I like his actions. Like Latimer, with the talent that GSB has, I don't know that they're ever feeding Bundschuh the ball over and over, but he looks competent around the rim and like he's been shooting jumpers all his life. I don't think he's an oaf/project. VC says he has offers from Eastern Kentucky and St. Francis, and I also read that he went on unofficial visits to Lehigh, Marist and Cornell – so I think he could hack it here academically.

As I said before, the coaches know much more about the game than I do. They could have seen him a bunch of times and already crossed him off the list. On the surface, from this novice, he looks like a kid who could help out.

What an odd assortment of schools.
