North Scott athlete Colin Kreiter
Have you made a college decision?
“I verbally committed to Kirkwood
Community College for baseball.”

just the relationships I have with the coaches. I like their campus and the
academics there. They can really get me to the next level and where I want to
be.”
What others were being considered?
“I was also considering Iowa
Western and NIACC.”
Was it tough giving up football?
“It was and I
always had it in the back of my head if I should play. It came down to which
sport I loved more and I picked baseball.”

coaches help?

West Des Moines Valley athlete Keller Prien
College
“I am just going to go to Iowa State and not play.”

Valley. I am satisfied leaving with the guys and friends that I had played with
forever.”
Schools that had been recruiting
“It was all of the smaller
Division III schools had talked to me. I talked to Northeast University in
Minnesota, Augustana, Iowa Western, and Knox.”
Giving up football
“It
was really hard. It was sad but at the same time it was going to be way harder
to go to a school and meet people I don’t know and beat the relationships I had
with all of the guys.”
Lenox bigman Spencer Brown
A college sport
“I haven't really decided on anything yet. It depends on
how the football and basketball seasons go. I love them both equally kind of.”

sent me some emails.”
Football recruiting

abnormally big.”

“Yes
they did but I just got to work on getting eligible.”

“I think it was last week.”
Where do you stand with the UNI offer and being eligible?
“He said
signing day is coming up and I sent him my grades from last semester. He is
going to see if it is realistic about me becoming eligible. If it is, I have to
commit to a plan to become eligible and he’ll go from there. It is a big risk on
his end so we’ll see what he does.”

you?
