      I should mention, that based on the few videos I've watched I really, really like Bruninga, I saw a tweet that said we are one of the schools where he is taking an official visit.

          I would say he's basically a 6'9" SF, almost looks like Buss.

            Thanks. Like the length aspect. If he's anything like Buss, I'd take it in a heartbeat. Mobile, good athlete, can both shoot outside and drive, etc. This program can't get enough of this type of player.

              Yep. Also, Phyfe lost in the state semis today but from what I have been told he looked very good.

              I don't see how he can redshirt next year. How minutes are distributed will be interesting. We could also play some massive lineups

                Bruninga said he will take vists to Loyola, ISUr, UNI, and "maybe more."

                No new news about Pickford, other than that he's apparently the only unsigned player in Minnesota's Mr. Basketball Top 10

                  22 and 11. Best player on the floor and not close.

                  If the rest of his team would have shot better than 20% they win going away. They beat the same team by 18 earlier in the year.

                    Basically what I heard as well. Not exactly sure whose minutes he will take but he has to play.

                      I saw Phyfe's dad Steve play in both high school at Nashua and at UNI and Austin seems so much larger. He may be an inch or two shorter than Steve, but he is so much bigger in the upper body. Austin made a couple of 3 pointers last night, but no doubt in my mind he will be able to contribute some good inside minutes right out of the gate next year. It appears he has good hands too.

                        You must be wrong. I said in the "next year" thread an opposing coach told me Phyfe isn't as tall as listed. I was told by BCPanther Jesus himself measured Austin two years ago at an Iowa football camp bare footed with his bunions filed down and he was 6-8 3/4.

                        So you see, you are wrong, damn wrong.

                          I'm pretty sure that measurement was with bunions included.

                            Watched Phyfe play the semi final game.

                            Impressions....big strong kid. Skilled with the ball. Good passer. Not selfish...to a fault.

                            Most impressive though...his feet and athleticism. He goes to the basket hard. Very athletic with quick spin moves and bringing 230+ lbs of bulk with him. A handful. Good on the boards...he'll help us there.

                            Didn't see him shoot much from 8 to 15 feet. Stroke looks good but he never pulled up to shoot from mid-range.

                            Made a few big threes and looked good doing it...but only shot 25% for the season.

                            Really I thought WSR lost that semi game by not getting Phyfe enough shots or chances to get to the line. They don't have much else for scorers and he needed more attempts in 2nd half. I would a moved him around a little more to get touches and not post him up against 2 or 3 defenders.

                            But I left the game with confidence that this kid is going to help us.
                            Winning is more fun than losing.

                                Another 20 and 15 for Phyfe today in the consolation game.

                                Pretty good for a 5-11 kid.
