Suspect this kid is a great early pickup to start the class. Had an offer from Xavier. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him pick up more offers. If Stackhouse and the staff wanted him early, color me pleased.

Here is a good story about Karris - noting his dad was a basketball player - I'm not sure at which level his dad played at, but that is typically a good sign.AuricGoldfinger wrote: ↑Fri Sep 30, 2022 6:01 pm He's 6-2 from Atlanta Riverwood HS and chose Vandy over Xavier and Georgia State.

Here is a highlight video that isn't focused on Karris but on a U16 game where he was one of the leading scorers. Difficult to tell how good he will be overall, but this particular game in it is clear that there are several players who will be playing high major college ball.

Re: New 2024 commit: PG Karris Bilal
He's a Junior, class of 2024. We got on him very early, and typically unless you are Bronnie Jr. you don't typically see the top programs offer a player until they are a rising senior, and most don't commit until a year from now. In other words, his offer list doesn't mean that much at the moment. Remember that John Jenkins, who was every bit a 5 star player had offers from Bama, MSU, Valpo and us when he committed since he committed so early. I don't know that this kid will be that good, but for CJS to offer a kid this early must mean that he sees something impressive in him.Starkiller wrote: ↑Sat Oct 01, 2022 8:24 pmI’m glad we can still beat out Georgia State for recruits…

Re: New 2024 commit: PG Karris Bilal
The article Jason and Nashmann posted paints a picture of Bilal as a hard-working gym rat who also values education. This is a solid addition, and I suspect the early commitment due to the fact that VU was his first offer means he will stand firm in the commitment. Stack is building some solid foundations on the recruiting trail lately and finding the right fits for his program. Hopefully we’ll see some of those dividends paying off this season. Future looks promising, though.
