(2025) - C Fridrik Leo Curtis

[Demo 19,342]

Alright then. That’s out of the blue. Per his feed has offers from Bama, Xavier and Stanford. Icelandic big who plays at CATS Academy in Boston. Ok, you now know everything I know.

[Demo 19,342]

On 6 mins of viewing, pretty decent frame, runs ok, hands and feet look like they can play, doesn’t shy from contact, has some present skill, that jumper brings rain. Has some obvious projectability. So, there’s that.Game looks like it would be really fast for him just now.

Side note: Don’t know if I’ve ever heard an announcer getting that excited calling a game for about 20 people. Love it.

Wisconsin is pretty much Iceland isn't it? Looks like a fit for them. 

I bet we've tried to get in on Mouhamad Sylla. 

[Stuhoo 79,091]

Good offer list.

”Can we call you Friddy?”

”Or would you prefer The Rim Reykj-er?”

This will be a short recruitment.  Woody mighty actually win.  dws

Wow, that international writeup may have been done by his Mom.

A project big and portal proven stud seems like the way.

He's only 7'1" though, needs a few more inches to get Matt's motor running.

I was actually thinking the same thing! At least we have a fighting chance

I'm gonna look the other way on this one, but only after making note of the euphemistic relationship between screen name and statement.

If we can get him maybe they'll play "Jaja Ding Dong" at next year's Hoosier Hysteria.

So a stretch big.  Total stats in his Iceland league play + European Championships:

38 games, 200 of 359 from the field (56%), 46 of 119 from three (39%), 69 of 110 free throws (63%), 306 rebounds (8.1 per game), 62 blocks (1.6 pg), 27 steals, 29 assists (0.8 pg), 515 points (13.6 ppg)

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,706]

I like 39% from 3 but with 63% from free throw that 3 number is falsely high.  BUT he’s obviously got shooting potential and height.  Decent fluidity.  Seems like a solid backup 5 prospect to me in the Hatton spot. 

[BA47591 276]

I think there has been a significant effort made by the staff to bring in a center from the high school ranks. It would be nice to see our name mentioned in the conversation with Mouhamad Sylla or with the Bundallo if he does re-open his recruitment. Reneau back, with a high school kid and the best portal player possible at the position would be a strong strategy I think.
