I believe Luther has some of the best facilities in the IIAC along with BV. As all of you know, that doesnt necessarily compound into success. Luther hasnt exactly been the most successfull program in the IIAC over the past decade. We get most of our talent from Eastern Iowa, Small schools in southern minnesota, and every now and then from western Wisconsin. Mostly small school talent in all. Eastern Iowa is tough grounds for us in recruiting. Luther is the second most expensive college in the state and doesnt have near the b-ball tradition of other comparable schools on the Eastern side. When I played, BV had mainly western Iowa guys on their roster. Most of their best players were comprised from this group. I can only think of one college in Western Iowa (Northwestern) besides a couple Juco's spread thin. Most students dont come to Luther to play basketball..are you surprised? Probably not, but they do give scholorships to many, many music majors. Must have a nice endowment set up for this. From past experience, most of the GOOD recruits we lost out on had a great exerience when they came up to the school, only to go elsewhere for financial reasons. You will probably find this more at Luther than others based on the amount it costs to attend...Team this year hasnt started so hot. Keeping faith that they can come together and be competitive in conference play. Have a few nice players but no real leaders or consistency yet. Hopefully this will develop before conference season starts..time is running out...
