Remember Luke Appel? The 6-8 stretch forward out of Marshalltown who went to Kirkwood Community College?
He turned into a star who averaged 15.9 points and 8.4 rebounds per game while shooting 56.2% and 37.9% on 3s this past season for the Eagles.
It sounds like South Dakota State and South Dakota are going all-out to land Appel, and Nebraska-Omaha is joining the race, too; it just offered in late February. The Jackrabbits have an intriguing tie: The coach who recruited Appel to Kirkwood and coached him as a freshman, Bryan Petersen, is now an assistant at South Dakota State.
