MBB: American Rivers Conference

[The Show]

Yep...if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

However, if this kid improves 1/2 as much as he did between his junior - senior year of high school, look out!  He needs to add a few pounds to his frame though, especially if he's going to be practicing against Fogleman...

Somebody give me a hoo-hah two times Tuesday!

[sportsknight]

Given the pitching brilliance that is Glendon Rusch, I'm not really in the mood to hoo-hah anything right now.

[Gregory Sager]

Somebody must've hid a 2003 calendar atop Rusch's locker in the Wrigley clubhouse.

Had Franny made All-American, they'd be turning his plaque upside down at Joe's.

[Pat Coleman]

Thanks for the heads-up.

To you Wartburg fans, your squad just picked up one real good ballplayer that you might not know a whole lot about. Tyler Etheridge, a 6'3" guard from Eau Claire, WI made it official a few days ago that he plans on attending Wartburg this fall. Hes a First Team All-Northwest Wisconsin, and one of 24 Divison 1 Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association All Stars. As someone who coached in his conference this past season, I can tell you that youre getting a lot more than a kid who simply averaged 17 ppg. This is a guy who is made for college basketball. Hes a great athlete (quickness, hops, length), superb teammate, excellent defender, and has an advanced basketball IQ. He can shoot from the outside, but is equally adept at slashing to the hoop and scoring inside. Hes a little wirey, but hes strong. And hes got ballhandling skills that allow him to run the point, so he can play either guard spot. I watched him take over games on both ends of the floor, and play with a tone that oozed 'college level'. Hes the kind of kid who can contribute significantly right off the bat, and I think the Knights just got themselves a heckuva player for the next 4 years. Just wanted to let the Wartburg faithful know about him.

Don't be so bitter, Coocoo. 

You or Charlie hearing anything on Coe's SID search?

[IIAC Observer]

Any more recruiting news?  A lot of returnees this year for many teams.  Still would like to keep up on the news.

[The Show]

BV has a pretty good shot at landing the other Carroll player.  He was 3A 1st Team All-State.  One of the best shooters I've seen in awhile.

Happy Birthday to Mike Kilburg the Iowa Conference MVP. 
Looked like he was having fun last night at Paddy's. 8)

Any updates on the recruits coming in to the IIAC schools? I heard the Timmerman kid from Vinton is going to Coe? How about the Schulz kid from Carroll? Did BV get him? From what I have heard and know it looks like a pretty solid recruiting class for most of the schools.

[The Show]

Schulz will be attending a JUCO and playing both basketball and baseball.  He didn't like the idea of writing the checks for private college tuition.  I'm about 99% sure if he did, it would've been BV, along with Gute.  Too bad though, I think he is going to be a pretty good player and had the size/shooting that BV likes to put out on the court.

What JUCO is he attending? Is he atleast staying in Iowa?
