Seeking6 Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 No clue if it matters or not but his coach in Finland was with AJ Guyton over the weekend. Hanno Mottola is the name. Former Utah All American. Lots of smoke for sure but who knows. Hope we land him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect an announcement in the next few weeks. Where he chooses to play college ball might heavily influence where he plays high school ball as well How did Freddie assist?

Freddie played against him let Fife and company know about him and talked to Little about IU.

When Kopp transferred they kept on saying one year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is more combo guard…KL will also have all next year to earn a starter role…23 is still far off. If anything he sees how having multiple guards that can handle the ball benefits everyone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t see anything in the article that would counter what his dad said. Honestly I don’t even understand his dads tweet as it doesn’t really read well Grammatically.

They do have basketball academies. I guess maybe think of more of a IMG/Montverde type of situation and how they compete but perhaps just on the athletic side. Europe seems to do this with these sports like soccer and basketball where even professional teams sponsor or own these academies even and will use them to develop cheap young talent for them or even to develop and loan to lesser professional leagues before bringing the young talent back into the fold. That said some competition might be from national teams. We had both a Fin and a Croatian kid in HS that had played on some U18 national teams (I think both were from lesser squads not their primary teams) who came over as exchange students. They didn't really play for us. Both were JV team as far as talent goes...as they were just not as skilled as our best kids. This was in the 90s though and perhaps international basketball hadn't advanced nearly where it is today. One kid was 6'6 and pretty decent athlete...but he also thought he was Toni Kukoc and wanted to play on the perimeter and shoot 3's and throw behind the back passes all the time. If he would have developed a low post game he would have played lol...but he had no interest in that mostly and kept floating out on the floor lol. This kid here is a whole other story for sure...and I'd say as the game and talent has taken off...the National teams would likely be made up of VERY GOOD players...and judging from the clips...those playing with him and against him don't look like national team talent. Not saying it's awful talent but clearly there is a mix there and suggests more academy type basketball with wide variance in quality of academies etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His dad's tweet reads like a mess/jumble of words...almost like a google translation even though he apparently is American. I get the feeling he has decided in terms of narrowing it down and this is the list of schools he is focused on. Not that he picked his school...but again...I'm just assuming because of how poorly the quote is worded. Maybe he has and hasn't told anyone. I think the article is pretty fair in that it can't assume his decision and that it could be any one of the 3 he has narrowed it down to.

That's some pretty nice endorsements! One thing that would be awesome and I have no clue how many recruits might come out of that academy or Finland in general but it would be nice for kids some day to say they want to follow in Little's shoes if he does come here and go on to be a big deal or NBA player. Never know when the next Dirk or Lauri will come from but having established that legacy and connection might not hurt! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
