Class of 2022 SF Chris Bunch (CA / Wasatch) COMMITTED/SIGNED TO SYRACUSE

[Melancer46]

This is a weird era in college hoops. I thought the evolution of players was ongoing—bigger, stronger, more skilled youth. But the overall quality of play in college feels way down. And now we are seeing recruits going to high major programs who aren’t even averaging impressive numbers against high school competition. Bizarre. Only thing i can think of is that the Steph Curry effect has changed the landscape to the negative, and that social media is a misleading recruit PR tool.

I thought Bunch had turned a corner and was putting up big numbers lately, but a 8 point average, half an assist and three rebounds… feels like any Starter should get that by accident.

How are you guys watching his games? ‘Pay per view’ through the school’s site?

The NIBC games are all available on ESPN+. I've only watched two or three so far though.

Thank you!

 

[Melancer46]

Thank you!

Also, he has been putting up better numbers lately, but those numbers came in non-NIBC games (generally lower quality opponents). Also FWIW, the one game I was missing was the one against IMG that Wasatch almost pulled off the upset in. I found the box score now: Bunch had 14 points on 4/12 shooting (3/9 from 3 and 3/3 from the FT line).

A bit limited by the fact that NIBC doesn't always post the box scores for every game, but they've now posted 6 of their 7 NIBC games for Wasatch and his team's numbers are as follows:

Not a bad 3pt% for Westry. 6 APG as well.

 

[Melancer46]

That's just from one game. It had been driving me nuts why NIBC had only posted one of his box scores; turns out his team isn't a part of the NIBC lol.

Do you know if they include the 3 games form this week in the NIBC tournament?

 

[Melancer46]

Yes, they've been posting box scores for these games so I've been including them. The City of Palms tournament was not included though.

If you're looking for stats on Westry, yeah, AZ Compass Prep isn't part of the NIBC. I'd check out The HS Circuit on Twitter. I don't believe they post full box scores, but they post stat lines for individual players all the time!

Interesting to see Willie Lightfoot on that. At one time he was projected to be a high D1 prospect out of Niagara Falls. 6.5 rebounds per game is impressive for a 6' flat guard.

I think he's only played a few games with Wasatch so far; he transferred in around the holidays.

Good doc with him in it, I hope the best for him.

 

[rrlbees]

He didn’t score in the 1st half then had 16 in the 2nd half pulling his team within 1 and they had the ball side court with 3 seconds left. Another player didn’t look at a wide open Bunch and instead took the shot himself and airballed it.

FYI, Fox Sports 1 has a show featuring Bunch right now (c. 11:20 p.m.)

Man seeing Filipowski #1 hurts. Also tells me that this class isn't a bad class but also isn't top heavy at all
