Continue ReadingOne of Iowa’s most versatile threats, especially at the 3A level, Chariton guard/forward hybrid Lim Chuol still has a wide-open recruitment scenario.
He currently holds no offers, but has some interest coming in from a variety of Division II, NAIA and JuCo programs from near and far.
Chuol is confident those offers will start to roll in this winter.
“I don’t have any offers but I’ll pick up a few during the high school season. I’ve visited Wayne State and Graceland, and I’m gonna go visit Chadron State and Grand View. I’m going to visit Eastern Florida (State) sometime too, I haven’t set a date yet, but I’m going to get out there,” said Chuol, who sees himself as a D1 or D2 guy.
“If it plays out the way I think it I should go play somewhere D1, but if it ends up I’m at D2 that’s perfectly fine with me. I just want to end up at a school that’s a really nice fit for me, and I just want to go to a school where I can grow and become a better player and person.”
His versatility is his strength, and at 6-foot-3 with nice length and strength, Chuol causes fits for opponents, especially at the 3A level.
“I’m an all-around basketball player, I’m good with the ball in my hands, I’m good without the ball in my hands,” he said. “And I’ve really tried to improve on my jump-shot because that’s something I’ve always struggled with.”
He spent his 17U spring and summer playing with one of the Midwest’s best grassroots teams, Kingdom Hops 17U — a program he’s been with since he was a young boy.
“I think I had a pretty good spring and summer. My role wasn’t to be the top guy that could do all the scoring because we had guys that could do all that,” said Chuol. “But I came off the bench and did what I could do to help the team win. And I’ve been around those guys my entire life since like fifth-grade, and they’re just like my brothers and I’m going to miss them.”
With just over two weeks until his senior season starts with the Chargers, Chuol broke down what his role will be this winter.
“I’m going to have to score a lot each game and pass the ball a lot and get my teammates open shots,” he said. “I’ll also have to be our big-man and clean up the boards, and I’m just going to try and be the best leader out there.”
