Sleeper
More information on Garrett Stutz, the sleeper recruit mentioned the other day has come out.

Of note is…

He plans on making a visit to Kentucky during Big Blue Madness. He’s topping 7-1, has a 7-2 wing span and a 9-2 reach.

“This has been a blast for me,” Garrett Stutz said. “(In April), a lot of smaller schools were calling me, and I was definitely thinking I would play at the smaller level, which was fine. But I kept growing and working at it. And when July came a lot of other schools saw me and started showing some interest.”

“Sometimes it’s hard because I sit back and dream about Kentucky or Kansas, going to the bigger schools. I didn’t have those expectations before.”
