Middlebury,
Indiana
is a lot like the famous Hickory
from the movie Hoosiers. It’s a
town of about 3,000 located in Elkhart
County, 20 miles east of South Bend.
6-5 Swingman Brent Eaton may be the
best shooter ever to come out of Middlebury.
As a junior he shot better than 50-percent from long range.
It was good enough for nearby Notre Dame to keep an eye on him.
New Mexico
and a list of high majors were also monitoring him along with a good portion of
Horizon League and Missouri
Valley
schools.
With one scholarship to give UW-Green
Bay
could focus on Eaton. That level of
attention has paid off with a verbal commitment.
He visited GB earlier in September and the phone call to Nix head coach
Tod Kowalczyk came two weeks later.
Make no mistake about it this is a
huge get for the Phoenix
program. Eaton has been ranked as high as the seventh best senior prospect in
the Hoosier
State. Kowalczyk compares Eaton game and potential
to Brian Wardle, a Nix assistant and one of the top all time scorers in
Marquette University history.
