Alec Brown to UW-Green Bay

There were a couple threads about him this year and was just keeping everyone updated on the home-state players. He signed with the Phoenix on Sunday.

Thanks for the update bruster. Having grown up in the SE MN region, it's always nice to hear when an area kid grabs a D-1 scholarship. It looks like UWGB might have gotten a nice piece if Brown's game can continue to develop.

Yeah.. actually committed on Saturday, signed on Tuesday... good pickup for former Marquette stud Brian Wardle, who has been coach of UWGB for the past month. Coach K (Wardle's predecessor) was on Brown for awhile, and Toledo (where Coach K went) was a possibility.. as were others (including Colorado...)... Ben Mills, center out of Arrowhead (Wisconsin D1 state champs that beat up on Vander Blue's Madison Memorial team in this year's upsetting finals... Mills is a former Boise State commit), wound up committing to Colorado just before Brown decided on UWGB. I'll be cheering for the Nix this year, except when they take on Marquette.
