I'm hearing the Prahl twins have committed to Milwaukee. No links available yet. You could have linked my Twitter feed! Check the time stamp. I could if you would have gotten your lazy slug butt out of bed before 11;00 and tweeteed it.

The Soukup twins, Steven and Michael, from Danville, were on campus taking a tour with their parents tonight and attended part of the volleyball game. There was a previous post in this thread with an article about them. www.thehawkeye.com/story/Soukups-POY-031512 The brothers are getting serious looks from NCAA Division I schools. The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, a Horizon League member, has already come forward with an offer, but Iowa, South Dakota, Northern Iowa, Creighton and Drake have also been in contact.Two paragraphs later... So far, no college has offered a scholarship to one or the other. The twins have played basketball together since they were 4, and they'd like to finish it that way.So have we offered them or not?

So, how good are the Prahl twins? Where do they rank in Wisconsin High School players? Is this a good pick-up for Panthers?

So, how good are the Prahl twins? Where do they rank in Wisconsin High School players? Is this a good pick-up for Panthers? They rank 24th and 34th in Wisconsin. Their only scholarship offer before Milwaukee was from UW-Parkside. That said, I will add that there is some value in using 1 scholarship to land 2 players, as they are a package deal. They're projects, but do offer size and could be productive eventually, it will just require a great amount of patience. This recuiting class looks like a 2nd tier Big Sky Conference class so far, but at least Jeter is finally pursuing some 4 year talent, something that should have started 7 years ago. The farther removed from the Pearl days this program gets, the harder it becomes to recruit.

Lord you are a pathetic troll. Get back to us when Green Bay wins something.

Lord you are a pathetic troll. Get back to us when Green Bay wins something. Interesting that you named just 7 players for an 8th year coach. Are you saying your happy with the state of the program? I remember a time before Jeter when Milwaukee would win big non-conference games. As a Green Bay fan, I have fully acknowledged that for the Horizon League to reach its potential in the post-Butler era, it needs help from Milwaukee. Better recruiting would help build the possibility of that. Name-calling to help cover up the facts won't.

Milwaukee does have a pretty decent victory over UNI in recent years, but it's true: the biggest games Milwaukee has won are conference games. And Jeter has hung banners (we can throw out 2005-06 if you like), something that you continue to conveniently leave out. I mean we are talking about the same coach who lost the conference championship game to the national runner-up - who knows what would have happened if they didn't run into the second best team in the country that year, a team they beat twice.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOn8uuvUoX8I found this video of the Twins in action and I liked what I saw. Granted its a highlight tape but they both showed good hands, decent footwork, good ball handling for big men and they moved pretty good. I think it will be a nice addition if they work hard in the weight room. Personally I could care less about the rankings because I have always thought to succeed at this level that our coaches needed to be better talent evaluators than the so-called experts.

You honestly believe Butler was the 2nd best team in the country that year?

They were the national runners-up, so yes. Unless you have a better measure.

Not sure if he's class of 13 (I think he is), but Trinson White just committed per Mark Miller Former Riverside star shooting guard, was playing at Indian Hills CC. 89 out of high school according to ESPN: espn.go.com/college-sports/basket....7/trinson-white6'4". Big presence out there on the wing. Looked for stats briefly, couldn't really find any.
