The second live period week has been a productive one for the TBB staff and at The Main Floor, 2019 forward Drew Timme had productive outings in the three games he appeared in. Timme’s game isn’t flashy and as the fundamentally sound forward is effective with the ball in his hands. We got the chance to chat after ProSkills close victory over Texas Impact 4:13 where Timme scored in a variety of ways and displayed great footwork.
“We played a great game. Although I felt like it was way closer than it should have been. I was able to push, create, finish inside and it was a great team win as we fought to get back in the game and won playing together.”
Timme has a long offer sheet with offers from Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Creighton, Texas A&M, Baylor, Illinois, Purdue, SMU, Kansas State, and Utah State. Timme believes his motor mixed with his skill-set has been the biggest asset in the increase of the 6’10’s recruitment.
“I’ve been able to show that I’ll outwork anybody and that I play with a high motor. Also that I can play 3-5 (Position) and create well for a big man and score inside at a high level.”
Timme has also heard from a few other Big Ten programs lately as well. Notre Dame and National Champion runner up Gonzaga have reached out to Timme also.
“Michigan State, Ohio State, Gonzaga, Notre Dame have been the schools that I have given me the heavy interest lately. They like my footwork and see me doing a lot of things on the court for them.”
There are four main things that will factor in for Timme when he decides to commit.
- “The relationship I have with the coaching staff and the feeling that they have my best interest and I have theirs as well. I have to see that they actually care about me.”
- “They have to have a good education where I can get a good degree.”
- “Third I want to play for a winning program because my ultimate goal is to win a national championship.”
- “Fit is also important for me because I don’t want to play somewhere where I’m only restricted to the paint or the perimeter. I want to be able to play inside and out.”
