Ball State Hauls In ’16 Kyle Mallers

<p>Ball State has been trying to change around their ways under new head coach James Whitford.  He&#39;s looking to bring in a different type of player and his newest commit might be the guy that fits it the best.</p><p>2016 wing <strong>Kyle</strong> <strong>Mallers</strong>, a Fort Wayne Carroll product, committed to Ball State on Thursday afternoon.  He&#39;s a 6&#39;7 scoring wing with tons of intangibles and and legit size on the perimeter.  His frame will need strength and Kyle will have to add to his driving game but his a fairly balanced scorer who can get to the rim a pretty well and keep the floor spread with range beyond the three-point line.  </p> <p>Many in-state programs coveted Mallers and while his skill set is one that is tough to find, his makeup might be just as important.  Kyle is a high-academic, hard working talent that understands the game really well.  His ceiling might still be a little undefined as he continues growing but his ceiling is higher than most because of his makeup.</p> <p>Mallers could find a role similar to that of standout sophomore Sean Sellers.  Sellers found himself quickly in Muncie last year as a good all-around scoring wing who shot 43% from three and 44% from inside the arc.  Kyle should be similar but might have a better handle right now that Sean did going in.</p> <p>Outside of Ball State, Kyle also had offers from Evansville, Indiana State, Ole&#39; Miss, Toledo, and Valparaiso.</p>
