chamrocck Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 From Husker Journal. I think the odds of him becoming a Cornhusker have to be pretty good. He says it is between us and Wisconsin. JUNE 25, 2008. PREP STAR BRENT QVALE, OL, 6-7, 300, 5.1, WILLISTON, NORTH DAKOTA Brent has offers from Nebraska, Iowa, Iowa State, Wisconsin, North Dakota, North Dakota State, Montana and Montana State. “I liked Nebraska’s camp a lot.” said Qvale, “Coach Pelini offered me on the spot in his office.” “Coach Cotton (Nebraska) didn’t say if I could play early but they would see how it would work out. Coach Cotton was excited about me and wanted me to come. Barney e-mails me two or three times a week just to see how things are going. He came to my state track meet and saw me. Coach Cotton talked to my coach at the meet about me.” he said “I talked to a lot of players at Nebraska and they are excited about the season.” said Qvale, “Some players feel they have a chance to have a good season.” “I talked to Joe Ganz from Chicago.” he said, “He told me he (Ganz) really likes Nebraska. Joe lives away from Nebraska but he said you get use to it. No matter where I go, it’s going to be far away. I’m (Williston) twenty miles east of Montana.” “Nebraska coaches knew about me through the Internet and some people told them about me.” said Qvale “It would be exciting to be a part of a program that will be on the rise. Just to be in one of the classes that started it. I like Nebraska they have great tradition. Their weight room was awesome it’s the best one I’ve seen. Everything is new.” said Qvale “I went to Iowa State one day camp and they offered me there.” he said, “Iowa State is really interested in me. Iowa State’s program is good but it doesn’t compare to Nebraska and Wisconsin.” “I was suppose to visit Iowa but with all the flooding I stayed home.” said Qvale, “I will try to make it up there end of summer or for an official visit this fall.” “Wisconsin offered me at camp. I liked it there a lot I felt comfortable there. I like the program a lot and Wisconsin facilities are very good.” he said, “Coach Bielema didn’t ask for a commitment, he just told me to go home with my family and make a decision when that time comes.” “I like Wisconsin they have been successful the last 10 to 15 years. They play in a great conference.” “We drove around Madison.” Said Qvale, “The streets are confusing none of them seem straight. The campus is real nice. Madison is a laid back city.” “Right now I will take three official visits to Nebraska, Wisconsin and Iowa. Nebraska and Wisconsin are my top two schools.” Link to comment
Ohio Pete Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Rivals reports he will visit Nebraska at the end of the month and that Nebraska is currently his favorite over Wisconsin. Likely no other schools are in the picture for him. Link to comment

Danimal Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I know it's North Dakota but All-State in three sports as a junior? Wow. Must be able to move some to be that good a b-baller. Link to comment

That background should certainly help with his footwork. BTW Recruiting Planet says his 6'11" brother plays B-ball for Montana.) Link to comment
