Recruiting Report: Aaron Klinge (2016)

<h2>November 4, 2015</h2><p><strong>Aaron Klinge</strong> put together a very nice season as a junior averaging 13.1 points, and connecting on 42 percent of his 3-point attempts.</p> <p>A 5-foot-11 guard, his shooting prowess, along with his defensive instincts - he led the Panthers with 49 steals last season - have made him a target of area NAIA and Division III programs.</p> <p>“I’ve been in contact with Grand View, Central, Wartburg I’ve visited, and I’ve talked to a couple of others, but those are the main ones,” said Klinge.</p> <p>“I visited Wartburg, Buena Vista, Central, and Grand View. I&#39;d say Grand View and Central are the two that I’ve heard from the most.”</p> <p>The steady guard spent his offseason playing with the Iowa Cornsharks Regional squad, and says he’s always working to improve his shot.</p> <p>“I worked on my-ball-handling a lot, and I worked on coming off screens and shooting, and just pull-up from a dribble and shoot. Shooting is my main game, so that’s what I have to do, just keep working on my shooting,” said Klinge, who defined his playing style.</p> <p>“I like to play shooting guard, I like to get a lot of shots up, and I know my guys are good and they’ll go and get rebounds for me. I like to work it around and wait for my shot, my teammates have confidence in me and my shot.”</p> <p>As he gets set for his senior season, Klinge says becoming a leader and getting his teammates to play together is most important.</p> <p>“Last year we had a great senior class and we relied a lot on them. Our class is good as well, and we’re going to have to step-up, I’m going to have to be more of a leader, and get everybody in the gym and on the same page,” said Klinge. “That’s going to be the recipe for success I think.”  </p>
