new griz recruit

He visited a couple weeks back. Every thing I find out about him is that he is a very good athlete. Was a solid d-1 football recruit as a junior at the reciever possition but hurt his shoulder last year. Played in a lot of AAU ball in Minnisota for their Howard Pully team and plays a complete game points assisits and rebounds and steals, looks like a great pick up.

Rundles still open to his future

DeLaSalle point guard Cameron Rundles has a number of good mid major options right now. Schools looking at him the most include Illinois State, Creighton, Dayton and Central Florida. After a shortened junior basketball season, Rundles shined this summer taking part in the Mid America camp and playing with the Howard Pulley Panthers.


Rundles will play football for DeLaSalle this year
Rundles, 6-foot-2 180 pounds, went to Atchison, Kansas for Tom Tietze's Mid-America Basketball Academy and had a good experience. "I went down there with a couple of guys," said Rundles. "Myself, PJ Hill, Chop Tang, Romain Martin, Noah Dahlman, we all went down there. The camp was good, we all had a nice time and we all played very well. But it wasn't one of those top camps, the top three I mean (Nike All-American, ABCD or the Adidas Superstar). The competition wasn't like I faced last year when I went to the ABCD camp. But overall, it was all right and it helped my game out a lot because I was playing people that I'm familiar with. Last year at the ABCD, I was playing with kids I didn't know so it was kind of like a scramble. So it was cool to go down with people I knew."

After playing in only half of the games this past high school season (Cam helped lead DeLaSalle to the state tournament when he came back from his shoulder injury) Rundles looked forward to his summer playing with Howard Pulley and he had a number of bright moments. "Even though our team didn't do that well, I had so much fun," he said. "It was my first year playing with Pulley and I really liked it. The year kind of made me regret not playing with them before, but overall it was just fun." Rundles had played with Team Minnesota and the Eastsidaz in years past.

Cameron is widely known in Minnesota for his fire on the court, his competitive demeanor and his defense. "The kid is just a warrior you know," said Rene Pulley. "He'll fight until that last buzzer because he's such a competitor. The kid doesn't like to lose at anything and he works his tail off on the floor." Rundles is one of the better defenders in state but he can also fill up the stat sheet with his ability to penetrate and score at the basket along with his improving jumper. "Everybody on our Pulley team was the top players of Minnesota so, playing with them, they always helped raise my game," Cam said. "Playing against them in practice everyday, you have to play hard otherwise they are going to make you look bad on the court. I still have to improve my ball handling and I want to get more explosive going to the rack." One of his summer highlights was nailing five three-pointers against the Illinois Warriors keeping his team in the championship game of the Sabes Invite before they eventually lost.

The college interest in Rundles is mostly mid-major at this point. He has offers from Creighton and Wyoming although Wyoming doesn't look to be in the picture anymore. "Illinois State, Dayton and Creighton, they are the top three that contact me the most and it may be down to those three," Rundles explained. "I was really thinking about making the decision before the season but now I don't think I will." Other schools still involved in his recruitment include Xavier, Central Florida and Santa Clara. Rundles has a good interest in Illinois State as does Pulley backcourt mate Romain Martin. Not to long ago, Martin and Rundles were teammates at DeLaSalle and they know each other well. "Illinois State is recruiting Romain as well as myself, so he and I might take a visit there together on the same weekend," said Rundles. Cam has also expressed recent interest in visiting UCF and Xavier.

Not only is Rundles a star on the basketball court, but he has received division one interest on the football field. Last year he severely hurt his shoulder playing football and that can't stop him from getting on the gridiron again. "I'm definitely going to play football," Rundles stated. "I'm getting a lot of looks on the football field as well but I don't think I'm going to play it in college. But I love that game so much I just can't give it up my senior year." Minnesota high schools just started football practice this week.

The Missoulan article says Cam is 5’11” ; the Ryan James write-up in gopherIllustrated.com says he is 6’2”. Oh well either will work just fine. He sounds like an excellent athlete, and good get. :party:
 
Wow, a point guard!! I'd begun to think Krysko didn't know what a point guard was. I hope this kid is as good as he looks on paper.
 
Let's not forget he is very good in the classroom which Coach is very serious about. Nice to not have to worry about eligibility issues like we have had.
 
Though some of you would like a face to go with the name.

Absolutely over the top news would be that BH is giving Cam a fb scholarship and he will also be a walk-on to the bb team. That would leave another scolie open. Well, I did say over the top.
 
I think 5'11" may be erroneous (after all, it is the Missoulian). Everything else I've seen says 6"1 or 6'2". This guy has tremendous credentials. Do your own Google search and you'll see what I mean.
 
Here are a few tidbits about Rundles from some around the country.

Cameron Rundles, 6'1 170 Junior (Minneapolis, MN) We did not have very high expectations for Rundles, but he had a very impressive showing for such a young guard. He has super court awareness, sets the tone and looks to be a leader. Can score as well as dish and should continue to improve. Karl went so far as to say he reminded him of a young Jameer Nelson in terms of his stature and style. If he plays half as well he did today, he will be a good one.

How can a guy named Cameron Rundles not be recruited by Duke? It's worth a scholly just for the nickname announcer guys...

"Cameron rumbles for Cameron Rundles..."

Although he went to my rival high-school-we called it De La Suck-he sounds great. Minny hoops has tons of great players these days and as I've said before it is one of the very few places we can recruit and tout our weather as better than where they're from. We REALLY need to go play the Gophers and get some exposure there.

I bet he was amazed by our football stadium. He goes to probably the only high-school in the country with no home field at all. They have to play EVERY game at the opponants' field. The high-school is on a small island, and the few residents that live there don't want a football field to ruin their tranquil little island. As much as i hated the school back in the day, they are very deserving of a home field. I think they have to bus every day to practice even.

I see he went to camp with Noah Dahlman, who is awesome. I would love to get that kid. I think his small-town HS team went like 134-2 during his career or something amazing. He is probably going to Minnesota or somewhere similar. But if we haven't at least offered Noah, someone's not doing their job.

The way our receiving core is looking, it would be sweet if we'd let this kid try-out for football too, but I know that would never happen.
 
A few months back I read an article about a young man, who was offered a scholarship for either fb or bb, to either Oregon St. or UO, I do not remember which. His father was the bb coach there. To his fathers chagrin the young man took the fb scholarship. In the press release the recruit was all jazzed, he would be playing both fb and bb and it would not cost his father a precious scholarship.
 
If a D-1 basketball player appears on a his teams official football roster or plays in a game his scholarship is counted officially towards the football total and not basketball by the NCAA.
