    Coach Elhard up in GR let me know that freshman Alex Illikainen was offered by Northern Iowa.
    Didn't see this posted anywhere else.

    Looks like we have another BB run developing - we are stocking up on players with difficult to pronounce names.

      Agreed, I was just thinking the same thing. Our hoops success is directly proportional to the total numbers of syllables on the roster. No offense meant to Grant Stout or Tony Brus.

        Brus may have had the biggest guns I've ever seen on a college guard who didn't play o-line.
        Winning is more fun than losing.

                That he does. Though when we spot young talent, others catch on, get better, then gain bigger/ more colorful offers. I.e. Carson shanks, Matt Thomas...

                  Kinda my thoughts on this too... I feel like we can spot early talent, but then more "attractive" offers come along. I hope we put the bug in this kid's ear early on enough.

                            Nebraska is one of the few high major schools UNI can compete with. Now if Minny or Wisc offer, move on to the next guy.

                              Not sure that is completely true, I mean Adam Koch had multiple major offers, and Deon had offers from Marquette and Arizona, we aren't taking recruits from these schools, but if we get in their ear early enough then we do have a chance.
