The University of Minnesota Crookston men’s basketball team announced the addition of Kobe Kriese (G, 6-1 190, Antioch, Ill./Antioch H.S.). Kriese is the eighth signee for the Golden Eagles for the 2021 class.
Kriese played basketball and football at Antioch H.S. Kriese was named Lake County All-Area Second Team during his senior season for the Sequoits. He played his senior season for first-year head coach Tim Bowen.
“In a tough year for seniors in high school during Covid I am very pleased to add Kobe to our program,” said Head Coach Dan Weisse. “I really enjoyed having Kobe and his father Drew on his visit. He comes from a great family. I could grasp immediately he has the right mentality to find success on the court and off. Kobe could really score the ball at the high school level and has some leadership qualities that will serve him well in college. I believe he has the right mindset and will find success through hard work and a no quit attitude. I’m excited to help him expand his game on both ends of the floor. Kobe is a great fit for our program and finishes up our recruiting class very nicely.”
