[QUOTE]Wiltjer hasn’t set up any official visits and admitted his list of seven that spans five conferences and three time zones is unique. “I picked every one for a different reason,” Wiltjer said.
The plan is to take five visits. He knows California will receive an official visit, but hasn’t set anything up to date.
“It could end whenever but I’m going into this thinking I’m going to be patient. I want to get it down to five so they have an equal opportunity. Really, I’m letting it come as it happens. If there’s a good fit I can go there but I’m going into it thinking I can take all five.”[/QUOTE]Kyle currently holds a scholarship offer from Coach Cal and the Cats!!!
[URL=”http://insider.espn.go.com/ncb/recruiting/tracker/player?recruitId=64261&season=2011″]ESPN[/URL] provides the following assessment of Wiltjer’s game |
Kyle is a skilled, mobile and active power forward. He runs well, has excellent hands, can hit the open three off the catch and beat a less mobile post off the dribble. He has excellent touch and feel around the basket as well, where he can finish with either hand. His basketball IQ rates high and he makes good decisions with the ball.
