Bobi Klintman, a 6-foot-8 small forward out of powerhouse Sunrise Christian (Kan.) Academy, has committed to the University of Colorado Boulder for the class of 2022, he tells On3.

“I chose Colorado because of the coaching staff and the fit,” Klintman said to On3. “I feel like I can step in and have a chance to make an impact right away. The players and staff made it feel like a big family and I really enjoyed that. I feel like this is a great place to call my new home!”

Klintman, a native of Malmo, Sweden is the Buffaloes’ third commitment to the class. He joins center Joe Hurlburt and shooting guard RJ Smith. Colorado beat out the likes of Utah, Utah State, Wyoming, New Mexico, VCU, and others for Klintman.

Originally committed to Maryland, Klintman backed off his pledge to the Terrapins after former head coach Mark Turgeon was fired.

Klintman is ranked as the No. 110 prospect in the 2022 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. On3’s evaluators on him much higher, ranking him 82nd nationally.

Scouting Report

“Bobi Klintman’s frame immediately pops from the second he steps on the floor. He has legit height and long arms; he moves in a way that may remind some of Keegan Murray at the same stage. Klintman is skilled, and he can knock down the three-point shot off the catch and push the break off the rebound. He is a fluid athlete and is learning how to switch up a lineup and defend on the block. Klintman, a native of Sweden, will need to continue getting used to the game’s speed and getting stronger. But there are many natural tools to work with and develop. You have to be intrigued by the upside. Klintman’s brother Ibbe is a forward at Central Arkansas.” – Jamie Shaw, On3’s National Recruiting Analyst
