Joe has committed to the University of Colorado and he will compete in the Pac-12 Conference. He has been one of the most highly sought-after recruits in the history of North Dakota high school basketball. He drew big-time interest from Wisconsin, Iowa, Colorado, Iowa State, Nebraska, Virginia Tech, Ohio State, Oregon State, Minnesota, North Dakota State, and the University of North Dakota. There is a very good chance that he will become the All-Time leading rebounder in North Dakota next season. He has the size and skill to compete anywhere in the country at any level. It is rare to see a player that is 6’10″ handle, shoot, and pass like a guard. Joe is also a gym rat with a high basketball IQ. I have never seen a high school basketball post player throw deep outlets and long passes as accurate as Joe Hurlburt Joe Hurlburt 6'10" | PF Enderlin | 2022 State #147 Nation MN . He still has all summer to play AAU, hone his craft, and work in the weight room. Joe is primed for a magnificent senior season, a Mr. Basketball candidacy, and the hopes of a State Championship. Make sure you tune in next season to the Enderlin Eagles and Joe Hurlburt Joe Hurlburt 6'10" | PF Enderlin | 2022 State #147 Nation MN !
