MBB: American Rivers Conference

[Oakrugnuck Tree]

Looks like BV will have a pretty good class for next year.  Andy Puhrmann (averaged 20.3 a game for South O'Brien) and the Ellerbroek twins from 1A state champion NU High in Cedar Falls will be going along with a kid from Minnesota whose name escapes me, but supposedly averaged over 20 a game.  BV loses some great reserves and a starter or two, but they look to be stockpiling with some young talent.

BV lost one starter in point guard Franklin that will be missed very much.  They also lost their reserve point guard so that is the only concern with the starting line up.  I think Wagner might move to point with his dribbling skills but it wont effect the rest of his play in my opinion.  Stribe will probably move into the line up which he started the season at before an injury and he finished the rest of the season coming off the bench. 

I havent heard much about recruits or potential ones but those sound like some pretty good numbers.  Do you know of anybody else that is looking into BV?  I haven't heard much from a recruit stand point but i know last weekend there were a couple of recruits from the omaha area here for our Cultural leadership weekend that stayed with wagner.

I go to school with Andy, so I've heard from him that the twins, the Minnesota player, and him are all going there next year.  VH basically told him that they were recruiting six kids.  Looks like they got four of them so it's entirely possible that there are a couple more that might be coming.

Very good to hear.  I saw on Iowa Sports Connection that he was a Honorable Mention All State Player.  One of the twins was a 1st team all state and the other was honorable mention as well.  Do you happen to know how tall each of these players are and their weight.  Probably wont see a lot of time their first year because there is some serious talent in the senior class and the other players still there

Andy is about 6'1" (maybe a little taller) and weighs about 175-180 lbs, will play the one or the two obviously.  I know the Ellerbroek twins are both 6'4", but I'm not sure about their weights.  Not sure about anything on the Minnesota kid.  But yes, some decent size and some really good athletes from what I've seen and heard.

I'm pretty sure there's a Petersen recruit coming up from Audubon.  Little brother of former BV standout Chris Petersen.

If little brother plays like older brother did, he will do alright.

Looks like the rich are getting richer at BV!!!

I always love hearing recruiting news...can't get enough of it...even if it isn't for the team I follow.

The younger peterson is Stefan Peterson i believe and he was first team all conference Western Iowa.  2A 2nd Team ALL State according to Des Moines Register.

Long time guest but first time member of the board.  With all the news about BV's recruits does anyone know of any other commitments to schools in the IIAC?  Specifically Coe?

Welcome to the board.  Tell anybody you know that follows D3 about this site.  It's a great place. 

While I love hearing about recruiting news I have no information at all.

Miracle,
Welcome. I think we'll know more the closer / after  May 1 deadline a lot of schools are setting.

I posted some info on some Wartburg recruits on page 110.
