🚨 SIGNING ALERT 🚨

The Men’s Mikinocks have added another major piece with the signing of Jonte Delorme, one of the top Class A players in the state of North Dakota.

Delorme earned 2nd Team All-State and All-Region honors while helping lead Four Winds to a 5th-place finish at the Class A State Tournament. He averaged 14 PPG and 2 APG this past season. Off the court, he is also the Salutatorian of Four Winds High School, showcasing the high character and academic excellence he brings to the program.

Coach Mike Vandal:
“Jonte is a huge pickup for our program. He comes from one of the best basketball programs in the state and plays the game the right way. He has a high basketball IQ, defends at a high level, and can score on all three levels. He’s also an outstanding student and leader off the court. We believe he’ll make an immediate impact at the college level, and I can’t wait to get him on the court with our guys next season.”

🚨 Signing Alert 🚨

The Mikinocks are Reloading… 🔥

We just added two more tough, multi-sport athletes who come from a winning program with the TM Braves state A team. Kruz LaFountian and William Breland are built for how we want to play fast, physical, and competitive. They also bring some big game experience.

Coach Vandal: Kruz brings a nonstop motor and will make his impact felt on the defensive end right away. He’s the type of player who will embrace any role and goes to work.

Coach Vandal: William is a complete player who can take over games. Coming in as the Senior Athlete of the year from his region we’re expecting him to help us put points on the board and make big plays when it matters.

We’re reloading for this season and coming for conference and AIHEC titles.

Stay tuned… we’ve still got some undecided kids on the way 👀

We are excited to have you Wesley, Asher, and Scheyer🐢🔥

Triple Threat...

Message from Turtle Mountain College Mighty Mikinocks men's basketball coach Mike Vandal regarding today's signing of Wesley Davis, Asher Trottier, and Scheyer DeCoteau of TMCHS:

“Recruiting a class like this is extremely valuable to our program. They bring experience from championship games and state tournament play, and they come from a disciplined system - those are things you just can’t teach.

“Wes is going to be a strong inside-outside threat and adds size to our program. I love shooters and can’t wait to get in the gym with him.

“I really liked Asher’s defense, fundamentals, and how well he played within the offense.

“Scheyer brings us even more shooting along with size at the guard position. He can play physical and I like how he sparked his team offensively.

“I’m excited to get started this offseason with this group.”
