Positive comments about '21 commit Bruns from last weekend: Paul Bruns of South Dakota Attack (6'4). This winter Bruns earned all state for a 25.3 point and 8.3 rebound per game average in one of the toughest leagues in South Dakota. He shot 53 percent from the floor and did that while commonly leading his team in assists. Bruns is the second ranked 2021 in South Dakota following Wisconsin committed Matthew Mors (not in Ames this weekend because of injury) and we thought he could of possibly earned double digit D1 offers this spring/summer but Paul liked what he had in a North Dakota offer so he accepted it. This weekend Bruns was often guarded by Tre Holloman of Howard Pulley and Chucky Hepburn of Team Factory, and managed to lead his team to wins over both teams from the point guard position (the Attack went 3-1 overall). This weekend Paul once again showed why I commonly state he is one of the best rebounding guards I have ever seen. He pulled down 14 boards against Pulley, dished out five assists, and scored seven of his 16 in a late second half run that helped push his team to a one score victory. Paul will play a lot of shooting guard in college scoring with his high percentage shooting but this weekend he showed that if needed, he can take care of the ball at times against good players too. And by the way, after returning home to Dakota Valley after a weekend of basketball, Bruns then went and hit a three run home run for his baseball team Monday night winning that game too.

I understand that UND was really hoping to land the Lien kid from Ulen. With Lien deciding to go the prep school route for his senior season, that probably means he wants to play at a higher DI level. McGrath appears to have very good upside potential but will probably need a redshirt season to mature and put on some weight (only 185 now). He averaged 6 ppg and 6 rpg as a junior on a team that went 24-2 last year.

I assume many participated in the Champions Club Zoom meeting this evening. It was good. Regarding FB, it appears most everyone is on campus and healthy. The Summit is having some sort of competition between schools for spirit videos. We are against SU & Omaha in the fist round. We are leading but some more votes would help.

I wonder if Case is wishing he hadn't reneged on his commitment to UND a couple of years ago. He announced yesterday that he is transferring out of Texas St.

Fully agree!!

Richmond will play for Boise State.

Howell will play at CSU

As Miller also reported, we have offered another MI girl. She is listed on the roster as a SG, SF & PF. Made first team all-conference as a freshman. SF Claire Erickson, 6', Sault St. Marie (Sault Area), MI

Yep - grandson.

We have offered Jackson Loge, a 6'8", 210, PF from Morris, MN. Many DI programs are looking at him but he only has DII offers at this time. Jackson is the son of former Gopher 7 footer, Kevin Loge. He has already reached the 1,000 point milestone - averaged 24 points and 15 rebounds as a sophomore. Big kid but can shoot the 3.

We have all wanted this to happen but I don’t remember anyone telling us it would!

Burckhard will join his sister at SDSU.

Yesterday was the first day to contact '22 prospects, we were busy with contacts with young MN talent. Just contacts - no offers. Jones is the brother of Robert. We offered Robert a couple of years ago but he chose Denver. PF Carter Bjerke, 6'9", Wayzata (Wayzata), MN PF Evan Dushek, 6'8", 250, Owatonna (Owatonna), MN C Malcolm Jones, 6'9", Prior Lake, MN F Joshua Ola-Joseph, 6'6", Osseo (Osseo), MN F Sam Rensch, 6'6", 190, Hutchinson (Hutchinson), MN F Brady Helgren, 6'7", 200, Edina (Edina), MN I assume this is a brother of UND FB player, Bennett. Iowa: G Cole Glasgow, 6'2", 190, Dallas Center (Dallas Center-Grimes), IA One more: PG Ayden McDonald, 6'3", Hibbing (Hibbing), MN As a sophomore, McDonald averaged 21 ppg and over 10 assists/game. Unbelievable stats!

Per the BB recruiting sites, there are no other offers at this point. But - they will come!

I can't find my original post about our offering twin brothers, Joe and Gus Hurlburt, from Enderlin. Sather offered both of them about a year ago right now. Joe has just received an offer from Colorado. When I first posted the stats on Joe, he was 6'9", 195. He is now listed at 6'10" and 220. Gus was 6'6" and 170, he is now 6'8" and 190. It would be great to land these guys but it may be difficult to do so.

As Tom Miller recently reported, we have offered Kiera Pemberton, a 5'11", G from Langley, BC. She was considered the most athletic at the Top 100 camp in Vancouver last fall.
