As expected, Steve Grabowski has been promoted. Jeff Horner will replace him as Director of BB Operations. Horner was coaching HS in Des Moines. That, combined with the resume below, should sure assist in our recruiting efforts in IA! Horner was a four-year starter for the Hawkeyes and capped his career by being named the Big Ten Tournament Most Outstanding Player in 2006 when Iowa defeated Ohio State in the title game. He ended his run in Iowa City as the program’s all-time leader in assists (612) and 3-pointers made (262). Horner’s 1,506 career points are just outside the program’s Top 10 list. He prepped at Mason City High School for his father, Bob, and was named Iowa’s Mr. Basketball in 2006.

New offer: SG Trevor Stumpe, averaged 15 ppg for Plainfield HS, Plainfield IL. Has offers from NIU & UIC.

A couple of updates on kids we have offered: PG Jared Dixon has received an offer from MO St SG JT Gibson has received an offer from LaSalle PF Brady Ernst finished second in the high jump (6'6") in Iowa state meet

Lots of activity - Wiki will be updated in the AM.

It is not appropriate to use mention Tom Clifford and Chapman in the same sentence!!

I see we are again looking at Oscar Opara, the CB out of De LaSalle who went the JC route out of HS.

If so, that would likely mean that no one else has interest in him. This is June, he wouldn't likely be waiting for a decision on Nash (which may not be made anytime soon) if he had other options. Probably not a good sign!

UND 92,96 Posted 19 March 2014 - 12:57 PM I'm not sure whether this was previously posted or not, but another UND recruit, Josie Buckley, suffered a scary injury this season: http://www.leadertel...1a4bcf887a.html I know the article indicates that she still plans to play college basketball, but considering the severity and nature of the injury, I have to think her status may be in question. ****** I see that Buckley is participating in track this spring. I hope this means she is making a full recovery!

Wiki has been updated - nothing major, just a few additional prospects in which we have an interest plus some new offers (from other schools).

Our ladies are going to play in the Pre-Season NIT this fall. First Big Sky team to be invited since 2009 - very cool!

I wouldn't argue with any of your projections. There certainly are a bunch of new names!

I don't know but I doubt it.

Our softball coach, Eric Oakley, resigned today. I wondered if he was pressured or if he just realized what a huge task it is putting a competitive team on the field. Yes, I know SU has a very good program but let's not get into that conversation here like we do in all the other sports!!

Wiki has been updated. I am going ot start listing sources of offers (and commitments). Hambone - Rogers' offer is in Rivals. Where did you learn of the Hill offer - Edgy? Does anyone remember the source of the offer to Brooks (Fargo South)?

New offer: OG Jordan Steckler, 6'5", 290, Two Rivers (Two Rivers), WI

Johannesson received his offer from NDSU today. Surprised that hadn't happened before now!

Another offer: RB Demaris Purafoy, 6'1", 180, Wauwatosa (West), WI Has offers from NDSU & IL St

Leach averaged just under 16 last year (25 minutes/game): 55% FG (very good), 38% on 3s and 72% from the line. Must not be very physical - only 21 fouls in 30 games. Good assist:turnover ratio. While it appears that Leach could be a contributor, I sure wish we could find someone to help at the 4!

We are still looking.

New offer: TE Sam Steckman, 6'3", 225, 4.6, Andover (Andover), MN

Is PF or C her best position?

Another guard offer: SG Deleon Brown, 6'4", 175 Grand Rapids (Christian), MI Averaged 20+ points as a junior, 80% FT, 38% 3 pt

"None of you" is an incorrect assumption!

Another new offer: PF Brady Ernst, 6'8", 215, Clinton, IA. Averaged 17 & 10 as HS junior. Has offers from UNI, USD, San Diego, Drake & Lehigh.

New offer: PG Cortez Seales, Eldridge, IA (Quad Cities area). Great size for a PG - 6'4", averaged about 17 pts and 6 rbds while earning first-team all-state honors. Has offers from W KY, UNI & Drake
