MBB: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

I echo Greek Tragedy and a +1 to Tom4525...

[The Dean]

There is still a humongous need for a big man, but if Dernbach can solve that problem before next season, I don't think it would be possible for him to have a better start as the Head Coach at UWSP.  It might take another year, but it certainly looks to me that UWSP is trending back where they were to the national scene of D3 Hoops.

There have been a couple bigs on campus visiting recently.  No "signings" yet that I'm aware of. Let's hope!!

Have been told of visits and heights but have nothing to disclose beyond that.  Wasn't given any names and didn't ask for them. Best to let the program make any official announcement I think should one of these guys decide to come to Point.  I do know it's a priority.  Safe to say Coach Dern has hit the ground running  . . .  in all facets of his new position.

Another non-conference game figured out for UWSP.  They will travel to Trine on Dec 9th.

That's a Saturday afternoon game, so I'm hoping they play Hope on Friday.

Alright, lets hear the heights of these visitors then please.

Platteville

Incoming Recruits
Luke Beighley 6'6" Whitehall
Matt Kirk 6'4" Milton
Will Gardner 6'2" Franklin
Seth Bunders 6'1" Wauzeka-Steuben (ranked 47th Wissports Senior Rankings)
Bristol Lewis 6'3" United Township(IL)
Max Lucey 6'4" Cuba City (ranked 33rd Wissports Senior Rankings)
Lucas Rameker 6'4" St Mary's Springs

Seniors
Brad Neis 6'7"

Platteville is set up very nicely with Pearson leaving the transfer portal and heading back to Platteville.  They will have a ton of experience which is invaluable in a conference like the WIAC.  The recruiting class is extremely solid, I was very impressed with Will Gardner and Max Lucey.  Platteville should continue to challenge at the top of the conference.

At Platteville's Senior Night back in February Brad Neis was not introduced as a graduating Senior.  Unless something has changed since then he should be returning as well.

The most recent one was/is 6'8".

Was? So he could've grown or shrunk? LOL

Probably reported earlier and old news, but...

I'll start doing an update for each team and their recruiting class that I have been able to find anyways.  I'll list Seniors on their roster but I have no idea on the majority of these guys, if they have a covid year to use...if they plan to not use it...or I'm sure plenty of them have exhausted their eligibility as well.

Eau Claire

Incoming Recruits
Mason Monarski 6'0" Chippewa Falls
Jackson Tomczak 6'7" Chippewa Falls
Grant Paetzold 6'1" Cameron
Alex Mierow 6'5" Franklin

Seniors
Brock Voigt 6'4"  transferring to Winona St for Covid year
Spencer Page  6'6"
Nate Hau 6'7"
Alex Voigt 6'5"
Carter Hanke 6'3"

Tough offseason for Eau Claire with losing Brock Voigt to Winona St.  There are normally some Minnesota kids that matriculate to Eau Claire, so I'm sure there are some other commits that aren't known.  With that said, I'm not too high on the incoming talent compared to the departing talent for UWEC.  I'd expect a 6th-8th conference finish next year.

Thanks tomt!  I thought I would add the "returners"  (those with potential eligibility) who averaged more than 10 minutes per game.

Weeded two out from last post anyways.

[wiacfamily]

La Crosse

Incoming Recruits
Ben Goedheer 6'6" Catholic Memorial
Vince Vandervest 6'4" Bay Port
Jordan Hibner 6'2"  Monona Grove

Seniors or Outgoing Transfers
Tanner Resch 6'0"  Transfer to Benedictine
Henry Noone 6'3"
Ethan Anderson 6'4"
Craig Steele 6'3" (in transfer portal for covid year still)
Mandela Deang 6'5"
Austin Westra 6'6"
Joey Platz 6'3"

Hard to predict how La Crosse is going to be next season.  They still don't have a coach in place so recruiting has been slow moving.  If everyone returns that has eligibility left, they will still be tough.  With that said, they will be losing a lot of talent this year and next year, and the incoming talent isn't on that level.

Potential returners with eligibility (if exercised) who averaged 10 minutes or more per game:
