Brunner and Horner to Play In Belgium

Both Brunner and Horner have signed to play on two different teams in Belgium.

Brunner must have decided he wasn’t going to get much playing time with Minnesota Timberwolves and I’m not sure if Horner had any kind of offers.

While not as exciting as playing in the NBA, playing in Europe is going to be a great experience for both Iowa players. I spent a measly six weeks in Germany several years ago and still remember almost every second of it. Getting to live overseas right after college is an extremely educational experience. Both Brunner and Horner grew up in Iowa. I’m not sure how many vacations they’ve taken out of the country, but I’m sure there will be some culture shock moving away for so long. At least they’ll be able to hang out together while they get used to everything.

Hopefully, both will be able to make a return to the U.S. to play in the NBA, but if not, they will get paid well, get to play competitive basketball, and get an experience unlike anything that most people in America get.
