'22 Combo Guard Eli King Commits

What's more surprising - all these recruiting wins by TJ's staff or that tiny Caledonia -- a town I've been through countless times -- has a 4-star basketball player?

Excited to watch this talent pile up. Go, Clones.

Eli King is a 6'3" combo guard rated as the #73 player nationally in 2022 per 247 composite. King is an elite athlete who also held football offers from Notre Dame, Stanford, Iowa State, and much of the Big Ten. TJ recruited and coached his brother, Owen, at South Dakota State so a prior connection with the family exists. Also notable, he's an AAU teammate (D1 Minnesota) of fellow 2022 commit Tamin Lipsey. Eli is currently recovering from a torn meniscus he suffered early in his high school season this past winter. As a sophomore (basketball), he averaged 16.2 points (63% FG), 6.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 3.3 steals, and 1.8 blocks for a 28-win team. In football, he plays wide receiver and returns kicks. He caught 50 passes for 958 yards and scored 27 touchdowns — 21 receiving and six on returns as a sophomore lol. His high school, Caledonia, is a power house - they win the Minnesota AA state football title every year and lost in the championship in basketball this past season.

Offers: Iowa, UNI, Marquette, Minnesota, Stanford




I caught this on the way out the door to my first COVID shot. EXCELLENT!
