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.

> 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.

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.

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.

I agree, id like to see if we can get a visit or if he will
visit one of the bigger schools in Utah State(Mountain west
conf) or Washington State (Pac12) fall in love and commit.
Surprised Iona or New Mexico State isn't in there.

yes, an odd collection of schools...
based on nothing other than rosters... he'd have less
competition at SB than some others....

The playing time has to be a major factor for us to have a shot.
We are in the weakest conference of the lot by far.

I did a little check re: SBU's completion for this kid and came
up with some interesting (and encouraging) data. This is what I
found using info from Verbal Commits, whom I've always found to
be reasonably reliable.
-- Utah State: Currently no remaining open scholly slots for
next season, so getting Otchere would necessitate someone
leaving
-- Washington State: Same as above
-- Youngstown State: Same as Utah State's situation, and already
have a 3* Center in that class
-- Fordham: Currently reported as already being oversubscribed
by 1 scholly player for next season. Getting Otchere would
require 2 players to leave.
-- What all this means is that the Seawolves are the only one of
his candidate schools that is in position totake him on without
anyone transferring. Certainly, no guarantee, but undeniably
beneficial.
