More BWBA: Jerret Skrifvars Signs
With Montana State, Billings--(May 4, 1999)

We don't know if Mr. Gottlieb had anything to do with this signing, but he was the one who let us know that Jerett Skrifvars (6'-5" Sr. F) from Brea Olinda H.S. has signed a letter of intent to play at at Montana State-Billings for next year.  According to Bob, Jerett's brother Jason will also be a red-shirt soph at Billings as well. Former LSU assistant Craig Carse is now the Head Coach at Billings, and coincidentally, he was responsible for the recruitment of Shaquille O'Neal (among many others) to LSU, where he assisted Dale Brown for 9 years.  Montana State led the country in scoring two years ago, averaging more than 100 ppg under Coach Carse, and Jerett will fit right into the offense there, and we'd expect him to be an immediate impact player

Jerett, along with his best friend and Arizona State-signee Kyle Dodd (6'-0" Sr. PG) also from Brea Olinda, both played for BWBA 2 at the Adidas Big Time Tournament last summer, which Bob also let us know was "coached by Oklahoma State point guard Doug Gottlieb, who did a marvelous job throughout the two major summer tourneys BWBA played in."   Jerett had a good senior year and was one of the most improved players in Southern California, recruited hard by many schools at the NCAA Div II level.  Among the other schools which Jerett considered were UC Davis (NCAA Div II Champion two years ago).  Bob also notes that Jerett "is also a 4.4 GPA student"  and will be the valedictorian of his graduating class.  Very impressive.

Again, Gottlieb's BWBA is more than just a couple of travel teams and an instructional basketball academy; for years, Gottlieb has been instrumental in placing players with schools on a national recruiting level.  If you have questions about the recruiting process, are a player looking to continue your education and continue playing, or you are a coach looking for a player to fill a spot at the D-I, II, III or NAIA level, Bob Gottlieb might be able to provide some helpful advice and insight.  Gottlieb can be reached at (714) 997-0380, or you can write to him at BWBA, 380 S. Liberty Way, Orange CA 92869.  Better yet, you can also reach him by e-mail at BRWest2@aol.com, or you can visit the BWBA website.u
