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

Schools recruiting the hardest

Division III schools recruiting the hardest

A favorite
"As of now, I'd say Morningside."
..........................................................................................................................................
Carroll guard Kolby Molinsky
Keys to a victory
"We got to control the line of scrimmage up front and slow down their running game."
Recruiting
"I have gotten a few letters from UNI. I heard Drake was going to come watch us a couple of times this summer. I also went to Wayne State for their camp."
Calls
"No calls but Drake called my dad twice."
Recruiting the hardest
"That is tough to say at this point."
..........................................................................................................................................
Pleasant Valley athlete Arthur Braden

A favorite college growing up
"Just Tennessee. I am a big Tennessee fan."
..........................................................................................................................................

Southeast Polk guard Garrett Northway
A favorite sport
"I've always loved basketball. It has flowed so much better than football and I love the game of basketball so much more."
Recruiting
" I have gotten a few good luck texts for football but have not had much. Simpson has sent a few letters and maybe there has been one from the University of Chicago."
Football recruiting
"I think it was Luther College and then Coach Kelly from the Mustangs."
Visits
"I haven't. Right now I have no idea what I'm doing. I am leaning towards Iowa State because my siblings went there. If I get interest, I will look at all of them for sure. As of now, I am wide open."
..........................................................................................................................................
Muscatine running back Alphonso Soko

Cedar Rapids Prairie athlete Jalen Rima
Recruiting
"I am kind of waiting to see how I do this year. I know I have a couple of schools letting me know that I am on their radar. I'll wait until after the season to choose."
Calls from coaches on the radar
"Our coach called Clemson about me and they said I was on their radar just in case I do really good this season. Western Michigan has also been talking to me too."
Offers
"Western Illinois, UNI, and North Dakota State."
In-state visits
"I just went to Iowa State for a visit but haven't talked to Iowa since August."
The Iowa State visit
"It was good. I have been there a lot but it is good to go back and see the new additions."
..........................................................................................................................................
Anamosa guard Kyle Schepanski
A favorite sport
"Basketball is most definitely my favorite sport. I am hoping to play somewhere in college if I get looked at. Hopefully I can have a good year."
Recruiting
"As far as basketball, there hasn’t been much outside of people watching my game from AAU tournaments. I had some coaches in Chicago from Wartburg and Coe watching our games. Those are two schools that I'd at if I could."

Sigourney guard Blaine Gretter
If he wants to play college basketball
