moss decommitted from Arkansas after 23 days. Wonder where he ends up.
No in-person contact with the coaching staff? Seems like a desperation move by both parties.
I’m assuming his tape was sent to more than just Illinois, or is the staff just scouring youtube?
I hope he pans out, its just odd that we’d sign him sight unseen. If he’s blown up enough to deserve that confidence from the staff then I imagine he’d feel empowered enough to demand a visit prior to signing.
We have the room so go for it, but I just have low expectations for this one.
It would appear the answer is no.This is what recruiting to Illinois Basketball has become? Rides handed out to foreign kids playing in marginal leagues sight unseen? There’s not a single talented American kid that we’ve consistently scouted and developed a relationship with who is interested in joining the program? Wow.
If the staff is going to take a total flyer, wouldn’t it be better to hand a ride to a kid at a school and/or AAU program that could reciprocate with some help down the road?
Bosmans-Verdonk averaged 3.8 points, on 45% (18-40) shooting from the field and 21.7% (5-23) from beyond the arc, along with 2.5 rebounds and 2.5 shots in 13.8 minutes over 17 appearances for KON BC Gistel Oostende last season.
It is unlikely that Bosmans-Verdonk will have much of role this year and he is certainly a candidate to be redshirted.

Looking at the team website. It appears to be a team composed of college and HS aged players. So, he's had to play against older players. I don't suppose anybody knows where that team fit into the national or pro scheme of things?Wow, those numbers are......something.
So this talk of him being a 40%+ outside shooter......where did that come from?
I think the FIBA 16U team was rated somewhere around 19th in world rankings. IIRC.Looking at the team website. It appears to be a team composed of college and HS aged players.

Well, summer school starts tomorrow, so if he plans to be a part of the summer prep. he should be somewhere over the Atlantic about now.As an unknown, the range on Verdonk is failure to great get. Given the late date and open rides, totally worth taking a flyer. Here's hoping Team Scrounge found another winner. Kid needs to get to CU ASAP and get acclimated to big time competition.

Chin was the main recruiterI haven’t seen anywhere that this kid was recruited without any in person contact with the coaching staff. Did see Antigua was recruiting him?
