Get to know 2023 four-star Matas Buzelis​

Pushing 6-foot-9, Buzelis currently ranks No. 46 nationally, has true guard skills and made the move to Wolfeboro (NH) Brewster Academy to test himself against top competition and avoid any distractions.

While he is currently listed as a small forward, Buzelis is a dangerous shooter from deep and a gifted passer. He splits his time in the summer between the Full Package and Mac Irvin Fire grassroots programs and can play a variety of roles.

"With my Full Package team I play a point guard," said Buzelis. "I think people misunderstand me because I can play as a true point guard. I get everybody involved and share the ball and if anybody played with me it would be a great time for them.

respect my decision™
Lots of B1G offers. If he's not playing for us, it looks like there's a decent chance we'll be playing against him soon. Offers from MSU, Minn, Neb, IU, Iowa, and Wisc.
Good info, thanks. It doesn't take long to figure out that Holloman has it. I don't think we close, unless Papi goes. Which, of course, means that we're hoping he waits 'til Spring.

Buzelis has versatility in spades. He's a mismatch for 90% of defenders. Love his skill set, just needs to get stronger. Would flippin' love to land him.

He’s an illini target who recently visited… I’m guessing he meant to say college instead high school…
