Lafayette Jeff's Brooks Barnhizer commits to Northwestern

Brooks have starred on the hardwood at lafayette jeff the last few years..

So when father's day 2020 rolled around..

Younger brother brooks gave his dad mark who duals as his head coach the ultimate basketball gift ..

A commitment to northwestern ..

Barnhizer picked n-u over xavier ..

Butler ..

Western kentucky and yale ..

As a junior ..

The 6- foot-6 barnhizer averaged 21 points ..

9.5 rebounds ..

And 4.5 assists a game ..

Those stats caught the attention of college coaches ..

Including chris collins ..

While barnhizer fell in love with northwestern's campus..

He also grew close to collins because of their similar backgrounds..

Like barnhizer ..

Collins' father doug is a former coach ..

In fact ..

He served as michael jordan's coach both with the chicago bulls and washington wizards.

Barnhizer's next basketball chapter will pair him with a young northwestern roster..

But number 13 is up for the challenge..

Brooks barnhizer: the biggest thing you have to do is have a connection with the head coach because you know at the end of the day that's the person that puts you in the games, the person who looks out for you.

Just really i saw a lot of my dad in coach collins.

You know i just really think it's a great fit.

He just really instilled in me that whereever you go you have to be committed there and you just gotta be ready for whatever happens and you have to know the staff and you gotta kind of go where it's a family environment and i feel that at northwestern.

Sticking with hoops ..

In case you missed it
