Any North Dakota kids being recruited in this class?
Eaglestaff from Bismarck High committed to UND I think is only D1 commit out of 2021 class.
Jackson Loge from Morris, MN committed to Augie.
Nice weekend for the Bison on the recruiting trail in addition to Wheeler-Thomas the bison also pick up a committment from Noah Feddersen 6'9 F/C out of WI.
Fedderson (Menominee, WI) is pretty dang explosive around the rim. He had a couple of football offers (Eastern Illinois/Winona State) to be tight end so I would say he an athlete.
Sounds like we locked up two really solid players yesterday, watched highlight videos of both and they seem like guys that fit what we do. The most impressive part was they both look physically ready to play D1 basketball, already well built and athletic and will only get stronger once they get here. Wheeler-Thomas has the ability to create his own shot, is strong to the rim and seems to have good handles, only weakness might be defense, I think he'll need to get a little quicker laterally on that side of the ball to defend guards at this level but I think he has the tools to get it done. Feddersen looks like a combination of Chris Kading and a young Rocky Krueser, lots of physical talent, excellent around the rim, good shot blocker only thing I noticed is he seems to have a bit of a goofy shot release and weren't a lot of highlights of him hitting from the outside so that part of his game probably still needs some development but from 15 feet and in he looks to have all the tools to be an impact player.

Wow what a weekend for bison hoops.
This is fantastic, his twin brother committed to SDSU last week, Sam was the more sought after recruit and he comes to NDSU...twin brothers on conference rivals, gotta love it. Sam is a good get, I've heard rumblings his game is very much in the style of Taylor Braun and last I checked that's pretty good.
