Jake Wahlin of Utah. 6’10 put up 6.5ppg and 5rpg. These are usually the types we haven’t landed historically. He’s only a sophomore, but can clearly play at P5 level.
Yeah, Wahlin seems like the best of the folks I've seen mentioned here. His rate stats at Utah were strong, and he's skilled for his size.
You all getting a woody for a post with 6.5 ppl.
Per 40 he put up 10.6pts/8.5 rebounds. He did it against better competition. And he seems mobile and has good hands. As FJ said, are unlikely to get him. But he'd be a much better addition than the 6'5 wing from Findlay that Boals will sign for some reason.
Although it's not 100% fool-proof, when a guy was buried on the bench behind other good players at a power conference program, a look at who also recruited him is always interesting. In Wahlin's case that was: BYU, Arizona St, New Mexico, San Diego St., etc
Things to consider before deciding he's "not good enough" to play in the MAC.
Also if a guy who was highly recruited and averaged 3 points per game in the SEC (which has 14 teams in the big dance) from being stuck on the bench behind big $$ transfers...he's probably light years better than a 13ppg game from Podunk Nazarene starter who would be lucky to be a walk-on in the SEC.
Thus as more teams are eliminated from the NCAA and NIT... that is when you will see a flood of qualified candidates hit the portal.
