Robert Eppinger is finally becoming comfortable with his new surroundings at Patrick Henry High School in Minneapolis, Minn. The 6-foot-8, 240-pound power forward is looking forward to taking some official visits in the near future, as a number of schools are showing a lot of interest in the three-star prospect.

"The transition to Patrick Henry High School has been good for Robert," said Patrick Henry head coach Larry McKenzie. "I would have to say that so far things are going good with Robert. We are still trying to get his family settled, but the move has been good so far."
According to Coach McKenzie, Eppinger is looking forward to meeting with some coaches and, more importantly, cannot wait to start taking some official visits. While nothing has been scheduled just yet, it sounds like Eppinger will take his first visit within the next few weeks.
"A lot of mid-majors have been by to watch Robert practice in the gym," said McKenzie. "Schools like Kent State, Toledo, Western Michigan, San Francisco, Arkansas-Little Rock, Northern Illinois, Ball State and a few others have been by or expressed an interest in Robert.
"Again, we have talked about taking some visits, but we have really been trying to get Robert and his family settled here," he added. "It looks like he will be taking a visit to Kent State within the next couple of weeks. Northern Illinois and Ball State have also expressed an interest in having Robert visit."
