On WIU's web site they show their basketball arena. Built in 1964, Seats 5100 looks alot like the BSA. Also on their roster they list a 6'10" freshman from Minnesota-James Granstra. Wasn't he looked at a year or so ago? Big & slow if I remember.

The locker rooms for the football game were way over in the basketball arena (similar to SDSU). About equivalent of walking from the Fargodome to the BSA. I didn't go into the building, that will have to wait until after new year's.

James Granstra is a 6"11 kid that has a wing span of like 7'3" he is from a small town that is located in SW Minnesota. Got to see him play a couple of times last year, he and Schilling played in the same Conference....he improved alot from his Jr year to his Sr. year......with the right situation the kid could be a Good Mid Major Baskeball player.........the key is the right situation.

Yeah, NDSU talked to him a lot but I think they were hoping for him to walk-on and earn a scholarship.

Literally HUGE. He is a big...BIG kid. His girlfriend was already going to NDSU, and we sort of expected to get him to walk on. REALLY smart kid too...and we had his major...Arch or Eng? Can't remember. I really wanted to get him. A kid that big is worth some risk. He improved alot later in college.
