GREELEY, Colo. – Northern Colorado men's basketball is building a fence around the state with the signing of forward Brock Wisne. The 6-8 Thornton, Colorado native joins the Bears' recruiting class as the No. 3 ranked player in the state after spending two years at Colorado Prep.
"Brock is a player that we've recruited for a really long time, and it's been tremendous to watch his progress and development over the past several years. Brock is a bigger forward that can play both on the perimeter and in the post, and because of his size, strength, and most importantly his unique skill set, he's going to be a matchup problem for defenders the minute he steps on campus," head coach Steve Smiley said.
"Initially from Horizon High School and currently at Colorado Prep the past two seasons playing for Coach Xavier Silas, Brock's high school experience and his time both playing locally and in the Grind Session have prepared him to transition smoothly to compete at this level. Brock has also been fortunate to play multiple positions recently for both Colorado Prep and for his AAU program, Colorado Roughriders Give, and for him to be able to play so many positions offensively on the perimeter and in the post will really help him transition to our level. What we like most about Brock, however, is that he's a winner on and off the court, and he represents everything that we want in a Bear to represent our program. We're thrilled that Brock has decided to stay home and play collegiately for the Bears!"
Before attending Colorado Prep, Wisne was a first team All-Conference player at Horizon High School as a sophomore and second team as a freshman."
Wisne chose Northern Colorado over Cleveland State while receiving interest from Mountain West, Big Sky and Summit League schools.
