Excerpt from Illinois Prep Bulls-Eye after Kaminsky's commitment:
ReplyDelete"While Kaminsky had begun to receive widespread recruiting interest from a number of schools in both the Big Ten and Big East conferences, Wisconsin had been a favorite of Kaminsky's from the moment that they began recruiting him. The Badgers were the first high major program to offer Kaminsky a scholarship, plus the big man had visited the Madison campus on multiple occasions, with the most recent visit being this past Thursday.
There is no question that Kaminsky is one of the most rapidly improving players in the state of Illinois from the 2011 class and that he has made vast strides over the course of the spring. He is absolutely perfect for Badger head coach Bo Ryan's motion offense which utilizes high post centers who can shoot. Kaminsky can undoubtedly do that, as he has tremendous face-up capabilities and range that extends beyond the 3-point arc.
In addition to being able to shoot it, Kaminsky runs the floor and has gotten much better in terms of finishing with consistency. He also continues to add strength and has proven to be a solid rebounder, shot blocker and effective low post scorer in given situations. We really like his up side and when one combines that with the fact that his skills are most suitable for coach Ryan's style of play and the outstanding academic opportunity that awaits him, there is no doubt that Wisconsin is a perfect fit.
Once again, considerable credit goes to Badgers assistant coach Howard Moore, who was the lead recruiter for Kaminsky and was instrumental in helping Wisconsin close the deal. Moore got in on Kaminsky early and let him know from the get-go that he was a top recruiting priority."
