Kenny Kaminski (2012) to Sparty

*Chris Yates* · Jul 31, 2010, 10:54 AM

Tom Izzo continues his tradition of recruiting football players, locking up Kenny Kaminski from Ohio:

Perhaps this will help us in the recruitment of Mike Shaw . . . .

Looks like yet another good pickup for Sparty. He is like a 6'7"-6'8" combo forward right Chris?

I am hoping this can only help with Shaw but who really knows.

Hmmm: how long before one of the gurus would typically report on whether or not an offer has been taken off the table?

This seemed to be expected, in fact; if memory serves correctly a lot of Sparty fans were expecting him to sign at some point last month. As the previous posts have stated, I hope that this pushes Shaw into an Illini uniform.

Yep, he's a classic Izzo recruit. He's a 3/4 tweener who has range on his shot and can mix it up inside.

ok I saw something ridiculous posted on maybe the Indiana Scout board saying he was up to 6'10" 260 lbs, but I thought that was wrong. Maybe that is the size he can potentially be if he keeps growing or something?

That would certainly be news to everyone in Sparta! Every report that I have seen has him in the neighborhood of about 6'7" and about 200 pounds.

Ol' Bo up in Madison loves those tweener types too.

So, do any of our current commits/prospects play the fall sport?

My mistake Victory. I should have said verbally commit

another good class for Izzo, they keep right on rolling up there in Lansing

Ok, Mike S . . time to commit to UI where you will get your best shot at playing time

If Shaw picks MSU I will understand. Izzo is the best coach in the country, and his program up there is unbelievable. But if Shaw picks DePaul over us I will be very confused. He isn't going to win there, he probably won't even make the tournament there. Think it through Shaw, DePaul isn't the place you want to be.

I don't think so. I think Dee and Augie were the last Illini players that did.

And more typical Tom Izzo recruits. Kaminski is a tight end:

"Imagine how heady it is for a sophomore to look up and see Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo watching him practice – football."
