In a year, I have a feeling that we’ll be awfully glad to have Logan. Although Haffner was a transfer, not a direct recruit, there’s a little physical resemblance. A couple of years growing into his frame,and who knows? He might be 6-5/6. A little muscle?
Plus, I think coach Baumsn is a decent judge of talent and potential. Glad to have Both Logan’s as Aces!

If he's 6-3, I will wager my weight in doughnuts that he's more than 145 pounds. So asserting that to be a typo, I think we can evaluate this guy on other terms.

Sounds like he definitely needs to add weight. Verbal Commits has him listed as 6'3" and 145. 😳 Well, we will see how good our strength coach is. I could volunteer my help as a weight gain coach! Although I try to stay active, gaining weight (unfortunately) has been easy for me, especially as I get older! :-)

I agree 100%. We've had a lot of players like this. They would have said Haffner is too skinny, they said Colt Ryan was too slow, Balentine was too short.
We're always going to get a player with some shortcoming. Could be size, strength, speed, athleticism, or anything else. Just have to make sure it's something we can hide and use the strengths they do have.
I'd rather have someone who is too thin, slow, or short. Than someone who is bigger, stronger, or quicker and has no shooting ability, basketball instincts, or game (we had a lot of the latter ones over the years and they never have panned out well).
I do like his ability to shoot and hopefully he's got some other skills that can be developed.

Logan is just beginning his Senior year in HS and it’s not uncommon for players his age to be a little lean depending on when they started puberty.
I will throw out a name, Larry Humes. Not only was he skinny as a rail in HS, but he didn’t have much bulk in college. He was only 6-4 and played almost entirely in the paint. As I believe ncace said, I will let Logan Baumann make our selections any day.

Thanks for the extra research austinace. I thought from the videos I saw he had a sweet shot and it was not from just one spot on the floor. He also shows he can get to the rim with dribble drive penetration.
He still has another year of HS and with a couple of years of college play I think he will be pretty good in an Aces uniform.

You start with Blake Sisley, add on Logan and maybe pluck another player from this list in ‘22,:then another couple in ‘23; and pretty soon, you have the kind of recruiting tradition that has made Butler what it is. Pretty soon, the program is strong enough that you have players like Andy Elkins and Craig Snow who have targeted UE as the place they WANT to Play. IMHO, we can’t get there soon enough, but I also sense that there is a bit of momentum in our recruiting approach.
Go Aces!!

Thanks for sharing wildbill. I especially like the following quote from his high school coach: “Logan’s had his best performances in some of the biggest games against the best teams,” Lefevre said. “That’s the best kind of player because you don’t really need a great player against average teams, you need them against the top competition.”

Thanks, Austin Ace! I also noted in the same article comments about Charlie Williams, another UE prospect that has been offered ...
"Charlie Williams (Carmel 6-10 Sr. C) — The hottest big fella on the market, raw potential and high-motor rim running."

Not sure how I missed that. Thanks for catching that Ace78.
