Przybilla was the Associated Press Player of the Year in Minnesota as a junior when he averaged 18.3 points and 13.3 rebounds per game. "Joel is one of the premier big men in the country," said Haskins. "He is a great shot blocker and passer and runs the court very well. He is a pure center and will make an immediate impact for us in the post area." Burleson is a combination guard who can play point or shooting guard. He helped lead O'Dea High School to two consecutive state titles. He is an excellent ball handler and outside shooter and is corning off a great summer in the camps. "Kevin is a gifted combination guard," said Haskins. " He can shoot the three, penetrate and score or distribute the ball. He comes from an excellent athletic background and a winning program where he has been a big part of two state titles. He was injured early in the summer so he is a little unheralded, but that is fine because we know he can play." Sin ville might be the sleeper of the group. A swing man who can play forward or guard, he averaged 21.1 points and 14 rebounds per game as a junior at Loyola College Prep school. He is a very strong physical player who has excellent moves in the low post. "Nick is a powerful player who is very strong in the low post." said Haskins. "he is blue collar in his approach to the game and will add great depth to our front court players. His type of play and physical play are a perfect match for Big Ten basketball." Archambault Dismissed From Team For Team Rules Violations: Sophomore guard Russ Archambault was been dismissed from the team for violating team rules. Archambault will retain his scholarship until the end of the current school year. "I have very specific rules that all players in my program must adhere to," said Haskins. "Russ made some mistakes and it is unfortunate that it came to this. I will help him in any way I can and wish him the best of luck in the future." Archambault played in 19 games this year and averaged 4.5 points per game.
