Check out all the latest recruiting news and updates with the latest prospects around the country.
Season Overview:
“Our season has been going great. We have a great group of guys who are gunning for a national championship. For me, the season has been good as well, I have been learning a lot and getting used to the American playstyle as well as the physicality. My focus individually has mainly been on getting stronger and putting on weight. Then working with my assistant coach on being able to put the ball on the court confidently. But the focus for me with the team is winning games, that is the most fun thing to me.”
Game Description:
“Versatile. I feel like I’m able to guard multiple positions. Offensively, I can stretch the floor well and I can shoot it. I’m a mismatch for most bigs as I get downhill pretty fast.
Recruitment:
Pikaar added a new offer to the table from Middle Tennessee State, an offer that he is happy to receive. But he also holds offers from Penn State, Indiana State, Sam Houston State, Idaho State, and St. Bonaventure.
“It is an honor to be recruited from any D1 program,” Pikaar told Phenom Hoops. “I realized it is not something a whole lot of people get to experience. I’ve enjoyed my first official visit to Indiana State, and I recently took a visit to Penn State, obviously two great programs but to be fair, I’m being recruited by multiple programs.”
Recapping his trip to Penn State, Pikaar seemed to enjoy himself.
“I enjoyed my time there. I got to see a good game. I got to see the game against Iowa and had a chance to see the facilities as well. I also got to see the campus on a nice day. Nex to the facilities and such, the people I met are top-notch. I realize it is recruiting but I feel they are truly genuine people.”
He has also been receiving interest from VCU, Richmond, Bowling Green, Georgia Tech, and George Washington, and he mentioned that Indiana State, Penn State, St. Bonaventure, Idaho State, and Bowling Green have been recruiting him the hardest right now.
