BG MBB landed a high-level verbal for the program.  His name is Camden Karel, he's 6'9" and is listed as the top PF in Michigan and the #4 player overall.

He is from Byron Center, MI, which is south of Grand Rapids in the western part of the state. Here is a graphic with his offers and interest, plus Detroit Mercy.

Karel is probably the most sought after player recruited to BG since we moved to the Stroh Center. (Note that Justin Turner was hardly recruited at all). Reports are that he is a multi-level shooter with the ability to put the ball on the floor and get to the basket.  From what I have seen, he can play 3 and present big matchup problems and can guard multiple positions on the defensive end.

Welcome to the Falcons, Camden.  I will say this.  Our guys seem to be able to recruit.  It's more important than ever, when you might need 6-8 guys every year.  I have written over the years that our biggest consistent problem has been a lack of a critical mass of talent at any one time.  Really, just that one Huger team seemed to have it. 

Until now.  Of course, results will tell the eventual story.  But, I'm really pumped for the arrival of MBB season.
