Howard Pulley will play at the building next weekend as they host their annual tournament and will be playing in the EYBL event in Eagan during Memorial Day weekend.

thanks for the info!

Over the years it seems like Pulley would have one tall kid and the rest would be 6-4 and under. This may be the most talent and decent size top to bottom I have seen in a while. 6-1, 6-4, 6-5, 6-6, 6-9, with a 6-10 skilled guy off the bench! With two 3pt shooters like Neumann and Coffey, Illikainen should have plenty of room in the post.

pulley had their hands full at times last weekend vs lower grade competition in Iowa. Bench is better but starting 5 takes a solid hit from last season. Play an ultra loaded team from Texas.

I was about to say, they do have more depth, but obviously the star power is no where near last year. No Marshawn Wilson?

Wilson never played for them.
