Sorry about that, but thanks for the explanation, and I am guessing here, but I believe what we know on current dairy farms as Holsteins came from that area of the Netherlands? Actually calling me a Swede is not at all offensive. The language is nearly the same and they seem to have more posters on Youtube so watched and dowload a great deal of Swedish language stuff. But then I digress.
No need to apologize Nidaros, I by no way was criticizing. No I call these guys Dutchmen too. My whole point and obviously not done very well was to point out a little history of the wooden shoe wearers.

No apologies needed. I love European history and wish I was up on all the wars and boundry changes that took place in the past 600 to 700 year past. Its mind boggling and it explains a great deal about names that are currently used in the USA, be they names of people or towns,counties etc. Btw,there are some Norweigians who resent the Swedes for being neutral during the rise and fall of the Third Reich and they often cite the yellow cross on the Swedish flag as a means to support their resentment. Kind of silly, but Scandavian countries seem to hang together on a number of issues. They are all small, but seem to be doing quite well economically right now.
I hope the we are not losing players btw and these rumors are false.

Man, this thread drift would have stopped Tom Hanks from leaving the island and pushed the Swiss Family Robinson out into the Deep Blue Sea. Are we recruiting in Sweden now?

Yes in Finnmark way up in the woods, and they are not sure which country they are in. Seriously, I have found a few Youtubes on basketball and football in Norway. They are just starting to learn the game. Not exactly the Balkans such as Croatia, where they find the big guys.
Looks like he is ready to play in the Summit to me.
In the Summit, the events of that photo could be considered an offensive foul.

Carl Swallow from Red Cloud is one of the best available. 6'2" guard and the dude is ripped. I heard he's been to SDSU's elite camp a few times. Mack Casey was one that stuck it out all his years (that's not a rip on anyone who left early, but rather reservation kids are stereotyped to give up before finishing their eligibility).

The Boston Globe College Sports Blog reports that Kevin Noreen has asked for his release from his commitment to Boston College. Noreen is a 6'10" F who played for Class A state champion Minnesota Transitions Charter School and is the all-time leading scorer in Minnesota high school history with 4,086 career points (averaged 36.5 points/game this season).
I don't know how realist our chances are at being able to bring in this kid, but it might be better than one would think. Even though he scored a mind boggling amount of points and is 6'10", it didn't seem like he had very many BCS school offers (I don't believe Tubby ever offered him either). Most likely this is due to people questioning the competition he played against as well as his slender frame, but he still is rated favorably by the recruiting sites (3 star by Rivals, 4 star by Scout, and a 92 by ESPN). It will be interesting to see if Coach Nagy makes a move for him, and if Noreen would have any interest in coming to SDSU.
