Re: 2010 Recruits

That's exactly what I was thinking reading those two stories. Our coaching staff is doing an outstanding job in recruiting. I can't wait until all these guys (including Horstmann) join Wolters, White, and Fiegen on the court.

and Carlson...everyone keeps forgetting about him

Re: 2010 Recruits

How crazy talented are these two kids we are bringing in? 6'9" kids are not suppose to play point guard and shooting guard, no matter what size of school they go to.

Re: 2010 Recruits

Thanks for the clarification on James. I was too lazy to look into it myself last night and did not mean to infer anything about this young man. I should not have posted anything without the facts. Negative rep points for me.

Re: 2010 Recruits

I think we offered but he had eligibility issues. I thought he ended up going the JUCO route. Good for James.

I don't remember any eligibility issues, and James went to WIU straight from high school. I think this was just a recruit we lost out on. Coach Molinari was the Gophers interim coach after Monson and before Tubby, and a Monson assistant coach. I think Molinari had the Minnesota connections.

I don't remember anything about eligibility issues with Granstra. He is a Junior in his third year at WIU, so if he did go to a JUCO, he didn't play.

I think we just lost this recruiting battle, in part due to being understaffed at the time, and the fact that we haven't had a ton of success at recruiting in MN for the most part for Men's basketball. Nate Wolters was a HUGE get for us in that regard.

Re: 2010 Recruits

A "project" recruit that has turned out pretty well is Center James Granstra from Western Illinois.

SDSU was in the hunt during his recruiting, if I remember right we offered him. He is 6'10" 245 out of Heron Lake, MN.

This year he is averaging 6.5pts, 5.4 reb, 2.9 blocks, and is shooting 56%. He is the man in the middle for WIU's defensive minded game plan.

Re: 2010 Recruits

I bet you are right. He looked like a big kid and if I might add somewhat "raw" as well. I have no problem bringing in a "project" now that we have seemingly survived transition.

Re: 2010 Recruits

I didn't know the young man's name but I can definitely confirm he is a big scrapper.

Would love to see a big bruiser underneath. I'm talking a build like AC but at 6'8"+. Of course, what team wouldn't?

GB, GB, GJ!

Re: 2010 Recruits

NO, read the 2011 Recruits thread about Wuebker.

Yep...clarification was given there after I posed the possibility on this thread and that one. I was just throwing out another possible option.

Re: 2010 Recruits

Could the recruit have been Seth Tuttle? We supposedly have an offer out to him as well and he is about the same size as Wuebker?

NO, read the 2011 Recruits thread about Wuebker.

Re: 2010 Recruits

Quite certain it is Nick Wuebker from Emmetsburg, IA. He's listed as 6'9" on his high school roster. I've been told we have an offer out to him and he's also garnering interest from UNI. Big kid but very raw and probably falls into the "project" category although as a lot of athletic ability for a kid his height and weight. I don't have his weight listing but he is a well built kid. Also plays football for Emmetsburg.

Cadsev would likely be able to confirm this info.

Re: 2010 Recruits

I would assume he is a 2011 recruit?

Yep, 2011 ranked 22nd on IAHoops.com

Re: 2010 Recruits

Correct...he is a current junior, 2011 recruit.
