Is that still the plan? If so, got to assume an offer is forthcoming
he has compiled a good list of offers so far, we should get in the mix. 78 pts in 2 games the other weekend... wowzers.
Just an FYI for anyone in the Milwaukee area that wants to see Prtizl and some high-level AAU ball, this Friday has a ton of nice options from 6-10pm at Homestead High School in Mequon. I think Friday admission is $5. The also play Saturday and through weekend, here is schedule: http://ny2lasports.com/EventSchedules/2%202014%20Invitational%20Schedule%20Version%20B.pdf
17U
Brevin Pritzl and WI Playground Warriors
7:10 pm vs IL Stars
Court 5
Matt Heldt and Milwaukee Spartans
6:00 pm vs. Chicago Lockdown
Court 5
Cody Schwartz, Mason Domask and Wisconsin Blizzard Pronschinske
9:30 vs. IL Irish
Court 5
16U
IMO the team to watch is Wisconsin Academy - Kostroski, one of the best 16U teams around.
They have the best collection of sophomores (2016) in the state. I put their Mark Miller player rankings in parenthesis. Sam Hauser (1), Trevor Anderson (2), Cole Schmitz (9), Jack Popp (14), Max Meylor (18) and Seth Kostroski (24).
9:30 pm vs. IL Irish
Court 6
has anybody seen the pretzel man play a bit that can provide a scouting analysis on him?
I hope we offer Pritzl some warm beer cheese dip!
They go together so wonderfully!
Mark Miller @WisBBYearbook 6m
Two days after earning an offer from Wisconsin, De Pere and WI Playground Warriors WG Brevin Pritzl has picked up an offer from Marquette.
No one knows just how long Bo Ryan will stay on the job. That uncertainty and Wojo's credentials may open things up for in state recruiting. The 2015 recruiting class should tell us a lot.

Hopefully with a vacuum in Madison with Bo's departure and Wojo's seasoning to take hold, the recruiting backroads in the state can be firmly grasped thereby solidifying the case for Wojo to build HIS program and OWN his program.

Uncertainty? Departure? Bo Ryan just signed a new 5 year extension and those close to him say they don't see him stopping any time soon. Also, I get that you're naturally excited with your new coach and all, but what exactly are Wojo's "credentials" aside from being an assistant at Duke. The man has never coached a single college basketball game as a head coach.
Anyway, I fully expect Pritzl to be be a Badger when it's all said and done.
Milwaukee's Best & Pritzl, sounds good to me! ;D
Bo is leaving when Bo wants to leave, and that isn't for a very long time ala Joe Paterno.

What were Kevin Ollie's coaching "credentials" before winning a National Championship in his 2nd year? Fred Hoiberg? NBA teams just had a bidding war over Steve Kerr....http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/05/14/steve-kerr-spurns-knicks-_n_5327179.html?flv=1
You might be right about Pritzl...but then again you likely said the same thing about Looney, Vander Blue and Wesley Matthews.

True, Wojo has never lost an NCAA game to a team seeded lower than his.

These Pritzls are making me thirsty!
I hear Pritzl really puts some mustard on his passes into the lane

Yikes. That's ranch dressing for me. Use it with pizza, french fries, pretzels, chicken, grilled cheese, carrots, celery, etc.
After spending a lot of time in Cleveland for work, I came to appreciate Bertman's Mustard. A bottle show's up in my mail from time to time courtesy of the supplier I used to visit there.

That's the Cleveland equivalent to County Stadium Brat Sauce, aina?
Germany has an incredible variety of mustards which are used for all meals. Scharfer senf is used for pretty much everything and there are as many versions of this style as there are towns and burghs. Susser senf is a sweeter mustard that is also used for weisswurst, pate, pretzels, and even as a spread on schwartzbrot. Susser senf is from Bavaria which also does a sweet kraut rather than the sour version found throughout the rest of Germany.
Living there, I learned from German friends how senf is used and appreciate the cultural culinary aspects of senf. One of the lesser known aspects of German Kultur.
Secret Stadium Sauce.

Is that what they call the Brat Dip? Not sure how "secret" it is but it's pretty good.

Mustard and Secret Stadium Sauce are wholly different. Stadium Sauce is like a cross between bbq sauce and ketchup. Not surprisingly, Wisconsin is a mustard-friendly state. Where else would you find this:

I've never been to Miller Park but we used to make many trips out to the Aina hey Sports Palace. You could sit in the bleachers for about a buck. Had the brats, of course, with that secret sauce which is pretty good, actually.
Not surprised there is a mustard museum in WI. I never thought about it but my in-laws stocked several different mustards and they were always part of dinner. When I lived near Bitburg I realized the stuff is served with every meal in the Fatherland. I was always partial to the mustards where the seed was still somewhat intact as these seemed to have a more complex palate. To this day I couldn't imagine eating wurst without an accompanying mustard.

It's that time of year, isn't it. Fabulous.
Living in various places I have come to realize that every culture has a tradition of burning meat outdoors over an open fire. And just as here in the States the tending is the responsibility of the man. It really is primal.

Do a lot of people out in Connecticut eat brats or is that something you picked up on during your time in the Midwest? One of my buddies at MU was from Boston and early on freshman year we went to my brother's house to grill and he had never heard or seen a brat. He kept on asking if it was like a polish sausage and then when it came time to try one he stuck with the hotdogs.

I had never heard of brats, either. It only took one bite to convince me. I ended up marrying into Wisconsin German so I learned all about brats and sheepshead.
Ha Ha. My bad!

As a fellow Connecticutian who had never been east of Pennsylvania before my parents drove me to campus for freshman orientation, I never heard of brats.

Swoopem - I never had heard of or seen brats until I came to Marquette. The backyard cook-out growing up in Conn. was hot dogs & hamburgers and Italian sausage. Since my return home from Marquette, it most definitely includes brats. They used to be very hard to find in the 1990s & early 2000s, but most supermarkets out here now at least have a small selection now. (The kielbasa grill out was added by the wife since that's about the only thing they grill in Poland.)
I know a Marquette alum out here in Conn. that mail orders Usinger brats. Trader Joes is now my source for Usinger brats as they carry them.

This is the only place I know in Connecticut that has brats on the menu. The place looks straight out of Milwaukee and has been around since the 30's. My first job out of Marquette was nearby and the engineers would occasionally go for lunch here. The new owners classied up the inside.

Pritzl to Bucky per Mark Miller.
It's a nice pickup for them but I'm not too heartbroken. Would love to have seen him as a Warrior but I'm confident CoWojo will find even better talent.
Bucky is going to need hit the recruiting trail hard this year. They have 5 seniors graudating, plus one empty scholarship from 2014, plus Dekker might go pro. They only manage one 3 star kid in the 2014 class. They could really be hurting in the 15-16. Let's take Diamond and Ellenson off the board just to make sure they don't recover.
