What Others Are Saying:

247 Sports (DuShawn London): “Really enjoyed the development of 7-foot big man Patrick Wessler of Team Charlotte. While Wessler isn't a go-to option on offense just yet, he has made big improvements in his game from last year in adding in an effective lefty hook to his game... In terms of Wessler's recruitment he plans on taking some visits after the live period with a decision come (sic) before his high school season.”

Rivals (Jamie Shaw): “Wessler has developed his game throughout the year, as it culminated in the program’s first state championship. At the Big Shots Rockhill Tipoff, he showcased patience on the block with a go-to over his right shoulder for an up and under or jump hook. He finished with 21-points and 12-rebounds in his first game and then an MVP winning 17-points and 11-rebound performance in the semifinals. Wessler said he currently hears the most from Wake Forest, South Florida and Virginia Tech. Expect a lot of Power Five eyes to be on Wessler the second college coaches are allowed on the road.”

More from Rivals: “Wessler walks on the floor as a massive human being. The lefty has long arms and he has a sense of toughness about him. In game, he shows that he has some touch to stretch the floor and he will post up on the block as well. Wessler is able to battle on the boards and affect rebounding while also showing good vision as a willing passer as he lines up on multiple spots on the floor.”

Outlook and Competition

On Providence, Wessler has said, “Coach Cooley has been very active with me and they have said how they would like me to come start for them, so I’m very interested in them. Coach Cooley is really big on building relationships, and I really like that because it makes me feel like they really want me and they are really recruiting me to their program.

“Our relationship has been really good. I've talked a lot with Coach Cooley and Coach Battle. They’re really putting in a lot of effort into developing a relationship with me. They tell me that they want me to come play, and since their big man is graduating they have a need for me. They've been at every event, so I really feel like they're straight shooting.”
