A "new recruit" per the Xverse via Kazoo MBB account (they are posting introductions to newcomers this week):

Gavin Van Kampen - 6-7 F - Jonesville MI

[TUAngola]

It appears the MBB staff at Trine is prioritizing length with the 2025 high school senior class.  Of the 9 offers so far, 3 are 6'4, 2 are 6'5, 3 are 6'6 and 1 is 6'7.  Of course offers and commits are vastly different for D3 schools.  You might get 1 out of a handful of offers to actually commit to your school.

"Offers"?  What does Trine—or any D3 school—have to offer to potential players? A spot on the roster?

Yes, that is the parlance in D3 recruiting.

Yes, that is the parlance in D3 recruiting.

Interesting.

In real life, offers are usually the start of a bargaining process.

"No, I want TWO spots on the roster!"

First 2025 commitment for Trine MBB:

Zack Parks  6'5 F  Lake Orion HS, MI

Another 2025 commitment - this one for Olivet:

Alex Genuise - 6-2 F - Allendale MI

Calvin's '24-'25 schedule is now posted as well: https://calvinknights.com/sports/mens-basketball/schedule/2024-25

I'm led to believe the schedule for the Sikma Invitational at IWU is not yet finalized so it remains to be seen which two of Cal Lu, UW-Platteville and Illinois Wesleyan will see opening weekend.

The Knights will once again face a dense conference stretch with at Hope, at Trine and vs. Hope within an 11 day window from late Jan. to Feb. 1. 

IWU has posted their schedule:

https://www.iwusports.com/sports/mens-basketball/schedule/2024-25

Based on this, it appears Calvin plays UW-Platteville the opening night, and then either Cal Lutheran or IWU the second night (based on the first game outcomes)

A few more Calvin recruits:
Nicky Johnson. 6-3 guard from Manteno. IL.
Tuna Teksen, 5-10 guard from Turkey
Tyler Carlson, 6-0 PG from Monarch, CO, High School.

Adrian has added a new assistant coach:
