Sam Schuberg reminds us of another Wear Out The Net kid from a few years back, Jake Maiers. Long, lanky, and springs in his feet, Schuberg caught the attention of many this grassroots season.
“I took a visit to Augsburg a little while back, and I’ve recently heard from St. Thomas I think I’m going to try and visit UW-Eau Claire later this year. I’ve also been to St. John’s, St. Olaf and Gustavus,” Schuberg said.
There’s still a decision to make, though, and that’s between sports at the next level. At 6-foot-5 and athletic, Schuberg makes an imposing QB or WR.
“I haven’t really started narrowing down. I’m in football right now, and I have been busy focusing on that. I play quarterback and wide receiver, and I’m still deciding if I want to play that in college. For football, I’ve heard from St. John’s, St. Thomas, Ot. Olaf, Sioux Falls, Augustana, Augsburg, Mankato State and UM-Morris. I’ve gotten a lot of looks for both sports,” Schuberg said.
“I feel like at the end of the football season I’ll know if I love the game enough to keep going. It’s a very hard choice, but I feel like there will be a time soon when the love for one sport will show over the other!”
Schuberg added that St. Thomas and St. John’s stand out because “they are both well known and successful programs. But a school with a great education is what’s important and what I look for first. Getting a great education is my first priority.”

Update from 6/2/15 by Alex Conover
Standing 6-foot-5 and long, dunking the heck out of the ball, hitting five threes in a game… yes, Sam Schuberg of Eagan/WOTN is drawing some quality college attention, as you might assume. After Eagan’s disappointing season, Sam is enjoying a bounceback session with Wear Out The Net.
“I've heard from Augsburg, Bethel, Gustavus, St. Olaf, St. John's, Concordia, Hamline, St. Mary's, River Falls, St. Scholastica, Eau Claire, Dordt, University of Chicago, Luther, and Northwestern,” Schuberg said. “I'm looking for a place that, first off, has a great education. That's what's important to me is getting an education that will help me in life.”
As far as visits, Sam has already taken a couple and has more in mind.
“I've visited Gustavus and St. Thomas but will likely visit St. Olaf! If I could, I would like to visit The University of Chicago. I'm still very open to exploring and visiting other places and seeing what other opportunities I may get.”
Sam is really interested in the sciences, especially biochemistry or pre-med. He’s hoping to improve on ball-handling in the open court, free throws, and finishing strong at the rim. What could be a little scary at the D3 level is that Sam sees himself fitting as a 3, not a a 4 or 5.
“I played mostly the 5 at Eagan, but I feel I can contribute more on the wing,” Sam said. “The jumper is good but always can get better with work.”
Several days after our talk, Sam added that UM-Duluth, Bemidji State and Augustana have since checked in with him. He’s a high-potential kid, no doubt.
