Spencer guard Brady Kluender
What colleges have been recruiting you?

“There should be one at the end of the year. It is an invite only but I think my coach is saying I’ll get an invite. Hopefully I can do well at that.”
..........................................................................................................................................
Lynnville-Sully guard Brevin Hansen

Dubuque Hempstead guard Lucas Duax
What colleges have been recruiting you?
“Upper Iowa gave me an offer and then there are other Division II like Hillsdale in Michigan, Wayne State, Truman State, Parkside in Wisconsin, and then pretty much all of the Division III schools in the WIAC Conference like Platteville, Osh Kosh, Eau Claire, Stevens Point, and those schools.”
What school is recruiting you the hardest?

Where have you committed for college?
“I have officially committed to NDSU.”
What sold you on North Dakota State?
“I would have to say their coaches. They are a legacy and have been the best team in the FCS. Their coaches have really impressed me and show that they care about a person. I would not just be a number.”

“I’d have to say probably just getting my name out there and showing what I can do. Once I did that, it went well.”
