Recruiting
"I've gone to Morningside and Luther this past spring. That really has been it. I haven't had a lot lately but am hoping I will after the summer AAU."
Visits
"I really liked Morningside. I liked their coaches and what their plan was. I liked how the build you up from freshmen year to senior year. It looked like a good place to be."
Recruiting the hardest

..........................................................................................................................................

Letters
"Nothing has come my way at this point."
..........................................................................................................................................

..........................................................................................................................................
Carroll guard Kolby Molinsky
Recruiting
"I have had a lot from the Division II and NAIA level. It has been Siooux Falls, Northwest Missouri State, Concordia in Nebraska, and some of the schools in Minnesota like Minnesota State."
Recruiting the hardest

..........................................................................................................................................
Waukee defensive end Jacob Wiggins
Camps
"I went to Northwest Missouri State, Augustana, UNI, Minnesota State, Western Illinois, and then that is the ones I've been to. Overall I feel like I've been doing great. I performed very well."
Feedback
"All of the coaches liked me so far. Wayne State offered me and I am hoping other coaches offer me too."
First thoughts on the offer
"It was very happy about that. I thought I'd get a Division II offer because that is where I feel fit best. I wish I was a little taller but I feel I am a good fit at Division II."
Recruiting
"Wayne State, Central Missouri, and Minnesota State."
A favorite
"Right now I would say Central Missouri State is a favorite. I love their school when I visited."
..........................................................................................................................................
Grundy Center running back Bryce Flater
Camps
"I have been to Iowa State, UNI, and I am going to a couple of others. At the end of each camp, I feel like I performed pretty well."
Feedback
"Yeah, they told me to keep in contact and that we would keep talking after the camp. They didn't say much. They just talked about future plans."
Recruiting
"It has been UNI a little bit, Winona State, Minnesota State, Upper Iowa, and some more of the Division II schools in Minnesota. Western Illinois and UNI are the top two DIs and then the Division II schools would be Winona State, Minnesota State, and Duluth."
Recruiting the hardest
"I'd probably say Winona State, Western Illinois, and Upper Iowa."
Offers
"They wanted me to come to their camps and are now waiting for this coming season."
..........................................................................................................................................
Rock Valley center Jason Taylor
Recruiting
"The two that have offered scholarships are SDSU and UND. Then it has been Western Illinois, Nebraska, Wisconsin, USD, and a couple more that I can't think of."
Close to offering
"I have no clue. I honestly don't know."
Recruiting the hardest
"Probably North Dakota I would feel like. Actually it is Nebraska."
Elite camps
"I went to SDSU, North Dakota, and I got invited to USD but that was the same day as North Dakota. The Nebraska one is in August and I got invited to that one. There are a couple more in August."
Visits
"Nope."
A final decision
"After my junior summer."
..........................................................................................................................................
Kuemper Catholic guard Parker Badding
