If so (Waukee), what would their returning roster look like?
Depends on which school he goes to. He played his one year at Waukee before the split to two High School's. My guess would be Waukee NW based on new facilities and teaming up again with Pryce Sandfort.

If Waukee NW... they were 20-5 last year, went to State quarterfinal and return 4-5 starters including Pryce Sandfort. So they'd immediately have the two best players in the state and probably be pretty healthy favorites to win it all.

If Waukee... they were 14-11 last year but were very young (had an 8 man rotation of 4 juniors and 4 sophomores). Lost in substate finals by 5 to Ankeny, so were playing pretty good by end of year. If he were to go there, he obviously elevates them into most likely a state qualifier and perhaps more?

Either way, whichever Waukee school he's on will be good.

He's going to Waukee


"Television station KCCI confirmed with Waukee AD Eric Boyle that Biliew has moved back to town and communicated his intentions to finish his high school career at Waukee"

Hamilton is announcing July 1st. Do Biliew and Momcilovic have announcement dates planned yet? Safe to say a class consisting of those three would be our best class ever?

Yeah in the modern recruiting rankings era it should be, no doubt.

No official dates announced for Biliew or Momcilovic. Biliew mentioned back in May he was looking at his birthday Sept 1st. There has been some rumors that may get moved up and he may announce soon.
MM was going to complete his UCLA visit (which he did last week) then decide soon likely sometime in July.
Recruiting is fluid so that can obviously change but right now I expect both to announce by the end July.

I'll take a Shrinking Omaha Sally.

Even if it might only be for one or two years? Would be a lot of fun.
Edit: If he gets down to 6-4, 6-5 range, we just move him to the 2-3 position. Or, Kenny Pratt 2.0, only better?

Watch out on the Kenny Pratt, only better comment, as Kenny will come out of the woodwork and saw you off (actually happened to me on Facebook when I made a similar reference, but he was actually really cool about it after the initial comment lol)

Haha. Kenny was a great player. Especially for his size. My comment was meant to be a strong compliment. If he sees this, I would hope he realizes it.

Kenny was so tough he probably told his phone to look out for inadequate comparisons and his phone was too scared to disobey. He was the pioneer of voice-activated software.
