UND92,96 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Who has seen Brekke play? Can he contribute at the DI level in a 2-3 years? I understand he has very long arms - that is a plus! The staff must think he can play as it appears he is getting a scholarship. It would be great to have another talented, hard working Brekke playing for us! I think he has a chance to be a player. I've only seen him play briefly, but I plan to attend a few EGF games this season and will report back then. I'm curious about his listed height in the Herald article, though. It's certainly possible that he's grown over the summer, but I believe he was in the 6'5" or 6'6" range this past spring. The article listed him at 6'8".

He would have to have grown a lot to now be 6'8. It would be nice to know how serious he was recruited by area schools or DI schools in the midwest. That would tell us how successful this recruiting effort was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Miller has a blurb on his blog about Brekke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND Fan Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Tomorrow begins the fall signing period. Does anyone know if there will be any signees other than Brekke and the guard from Ohio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND92,96 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Here's confirmation of the Josh Schuler signing. I also know that Brandon Brekke signed yesterday because Jones said as much on the coaches' show last night. So why can't we get this info from the Herald or fightingsioux.com? Nearly every other dI or dII school in the area announced their signings yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iramurphy Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Big mistake by UND not to announce anything. The coaches and athletic department need to make the move to D1 and this shows someone doesn't get it. Same goes for the women's team. Missed an opportunity. GF media needed to get something out even if it was they are delaying announcements on X number of kids until they get all emails/faxes or what ever they are waiting for. To do and say nothing is a mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GF media needed to get something out even if it was they are delaying announcements on X number of kids until they get all emails/faxes or what ever they are waiting for. To do and say nothing is a mistake. The strange thing is that this has gone on the past few years, under multiple a.d.'s/interim a.d.'s, and two different SID's. I just don't understand why it should be like pulling teeth for the athletic department to issue press releases promptly upon receiving signed letters of intent (for sports other than football, for which this has never been a problem). EDIT: I see a press release for a baseball signee was just posted, so perhaps releases for other sports are forthcoming. But I still don't understand the delay for men's basketball when both verbal commitments signed their LOI's yesterday. I strongly suspect it's a similar story on the women's side, as it's doubtful that any of the four expected signings didn't take place yesterday.

UND Fan Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I see we signed Chris Clausen, Dan's son. The 6'6" forward is a sophomore at North Iowa Area CC. If he is anything like his dad, he will be great for the program! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is anything like his dad, he will be great for the program! I was really young at the time, but I still remember the 1981-82 Sioux team featuring Dan Clausen, Steve Brekke and Aaron Harris. That was a great team. It's pretty ironic that both Brekke and Clausen have sons who are a part of the same UND recruiting class! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
