Dane Caldwell - 2026 Signee

[SFspidur]

6'9" forward out of the Indiana side of the Louisville area. He recently took official visits to Ball State and Miami of Ohio. I see some other offers from the likes of Bradley, High Point, Buffalo, Akron, Coastal Carolina, ETSU, Eastern Illinois.

LOL, he deleted his tweet that said unofficial visit and now says it was official. Did we offer to pay after the fact?

someone probably saw the "unofficial" in the tweet and reached out.
"when we pay for everything, it's official".

Looks like he committed

looks quick. would be great to have a big forward with his length. wonder if Mooney sees him as a 5 after weight room work, though.

He is built more like a 3 and though the height of a 4 or 5, if he is quick and has good
ball handling skills, he could easily be a 3. Plus if he has an outside shot, he would be
a hard matchup for an opposing 3s due to fact he can post them up and make it difficult to shoot over

UR's signing day write up says he shot 40% from 3 last year as a junior. maybe he's a little bit longer and more athletic Dusan.

What does he play now? I’d love to not hammer a square peg into a round hole.

Saw Dane play against high level college competition. Has great form on three point shot. In competition I witnessed, Dane made more three pointers than anyone on either side. Moreover, his ball handling and speed are quite good. Only issue at this point is strength, but this should be overcome as he matures.

Good stuff Spide, sounds like a big wing to me.

 

[sman]

maybe an AP who shoots like we thought AP would.
