Sounds about the same as an all star Juco player. I wouldn't be surprised to see him blossom into a real force by his second/third year. Which, while we're on the subject of players developing after a while...is it just me or does it seem like Coach Miller is recruiting a LOT of 4 star 3-4 year players? I keep seeing this 4 star has received an offer...that 4 star has received an offer. I believe Coach Miller is building a good team of good players that are going to be great in time, then will add a couple of 5 stars in the mix when the 4's are getting their game up to the level that will make a great team. Or it could be because I've started drinking Kool-Aid recently...
I know the highlights are limited...but this kid looks like a natural athlete.
Big men with great passing abilities can open up the floor for everybody.

Honestly, it's too hard to tell because it seems like anytime you try to make an assumption, the next offer goes against the grain.
I thought the overseas well ran dry with Miller on this class, and then here this offer comes.
At this point, I'm ready to see who's actually in (that wanted to be in) and who isn't (that we didn't have/make room for).
From the 24/7 report:
"Vrenz Bleijenbergh, PF/SF, Belgium
Bleijenbergh was by far the biggest breakout prospect of this event. After averaging just 5.9 points and 4.0 rebounds at the 2017 FIBA u18 Division B European Championships, Bleijenbergh attempted at going the college route but didn't receive a single offer. Regardless of his future, Bleijenbergh has very good size, a frame with plenty of room to gain strength, can play both forward positions due to his shooting ability, quick first step, body control and terrific vision and rebounds in and outside of his area. He's averaging 14.0 points, 7.4 rebounds and an event-leading 6.2 assists per game."
I like what I saw from the footage on hear be interesting to see where this goes.
Kid looks really good. Would make a great college PF and there is no doubt we have had great success with PFs under Miller.
Yea I am sure he will look at Laurie m. Did in his one year an being a lottery pick.
