Although he's a very good player, I'll have to admit I was a bit surprised Wisconsin offered Oshkosh West's Tim Jarmusz a scholarship (which he accepted) before the fall signing period. I knew that Jarmusz can play at that level, but with Andy Polka commanding most of the attention on the Wildcats last season, Jarmusz went unnoticed to some. But a solid summer thus far as well as an outstanding performance at the Wisconsin advanced camp put Jarmusz on the radar of several schools. There has been some discussion on message boards that he's not a Big Ten player because the only other Big Ten school that was recruiting him was Northwestern. Well, I remember a certain player that wound up at Marquette that was only recruited by Bradley, DePaul and Illinois State. His name? Dwyane Wade.
While Jarmusz is probably the only Fox Valley player that will sign with a major Division I school, look for recruiting interest to heat up with some players in the Fond du Lac area.
Waupun's Ryan Rasmussen is having a big summer, as is Fondy's Eddie Gilgenbach, Springs' Mitchell Schneider and Laconia's Kieran Weed.
Mark Miller of www.wbby.com and www.wishoops.net does a tremendous job with state high school basketball and his Whispers column is a must-read for anyone that likes high school hoops.
