Stevens Point website lists three recruits:

Michael Griffin, a third team All-State selection from Iola-Scandinavia....6'3" guard who shoots the three... Averaged 21.6 ppg last season... Also played football, rushing for 2,000 yards and 20 TDs...

Kieran Weed, an honorable mention All-State performer from Laconia... 6'5" forward, posting 19.2 ppg and 9.2 rpg...

Ben Schumacher, an honorable mention all-conference selection from Green Bay East... 6'9" center, with 14.2 ppg and 7.6 rpg... Can also shoot the three...

Superb athlete. I can already see how how he fits in at Point.

Griffin is a fun shooter to watch. Shoot-to-get-hot, shoot-to-stay-hot sort of guy. Don't know how many shots he will get at Point, but that's where shooters go to school.

If you don't keep an eye on Weed, he'll grow on you.

If Weed is going to contribute for Point, he is going to have to get better on the defensive end.  I had the opportunity to watch him play in the Sectional Semifinals this past season, and he really struggled.  Roncalli had a 6'5" player who was able to consistently pull the ball on the floor and go right by him.  My guess is is that is the type of player he will be matching up with at the college level as well.

From Wishoops:


Aquinas' Morrissey to play college basketball at UW-Eau Claire

Lucas Morrissey of La Crosse Aquinas has decided to play collegiate basketball for coach Terry Gibbons at UW-Eau Claire.

An extremely versatile and complete basketball player, the 6-foot-3 Morrissey had an outstanding senior season while leading the traditionally strong Blugolds to the WIAA Division 3 state championship.

Morrissey averaged 13.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists per contest as Aquinas finished the season with a 24-3 record.

"Lucas is such a smart player that he'll be an asset at the next level," Aquinas coach Rick Schneider said. "He's valuable in a lot of different areas. Most importantly, he's a winner. Eau Claire is getting a heck of a basketball player."

During Morrissey's three years of varsity competition, Aquinas went 70-7.

Platteville adds another BB recruit, Brett Stangel from Monroe.  The Capital Times article details his BB resume & more.

[chmarx]

He is a strong player, Oldgold.  My understanding is that he was considering La Crosse, but we are already overloaded at guard.

Hope he has success at EC.

[chucktab]

UWEC has put together a nice class so far see article and video at weau website out of EC:

Prince is a very nice player...he'll push for minutes next year and Stovall will be a contributor down the road.

I wish WW would post their recruits like everyone else.  It's always tough putting a name to a face that way.

[The Roop]

UWW is already asking their recruits to gray shirt as they will be senior laden this year. Could this mean a possible run to Salem ??

[chmarx]

Saw in the La Crosse Tribune today that UWL signed a guard from Brookfield Central (I think).

Which means they'll likely not get many recuits, if any in this year's class.  Most decent high school players do not want to grey-shirt and most have options to play elsewhere.  Besides, UWW has shown a higher propensity to bring in transfers that tend to scare some recruits away.

You have to admit with 9 seniors next year (assuming all return) that PT will be minimal for any underclassmen.
