He has been vastly superior to any PG we've had in 4 years. Never was offered.....?

He's a guy that has the look of someone who knows what he's doing out there.
 


He not only was never offered, but he wasn't offered at a time when we had a glaring need for a PG and had available scholarships. We had Mav though....

That's it - rub the salt in.

Even in high school he was pretty good, he just wasn't as athletic as others like Corey Joseph, the fact that Tubby desperately needed one and didn't offer is what really hurts.

At the time, all we needed was a competent PG. We had everything but a PG in Tubby's final years. Chambers, Hollins, Hollins, Mbakwe.......
 








Chambers numbers have gotten significantly worse at Harvard each year. The guy shot 35.6% from the field this year against Ivy League competition. He shot 11 of 43 against Power 5 opponents.

Mathieu has been just as good, if not better, against much better competition. Both him and Mason had a better AST/TO ratio than Chambers this year.

He's a nice player but I don't understand the love for him. I guess it's maybe because he's played fairly well the few times people have watched him on TV. But overall, I don't think his play is that great especially considering the competition.
 

Easy math. somebody who can handle the ball, pass, and not turn the ball over. We didn't have one, Tubby didn't offerr one, outside of Cory Joseph, for three years.

10 ppg,36% from field, 4.3 dimes 2.3 to. in the IVY. Mathieu 9ppg, 45%, 4.3 dimes 1.6 turnovers and more steals in the Big Ten this year...last year Mathieu was a lot better than Chambers.
 


Lots of good players around the country not recruited by their hometown school. Not a huge deal. Chambers is a nice player and fits his team nicely but I don't think many B1G coaches are losing sleep over not offering him
 

Every power conference coach in the country "missed" on him. His best offer was St. Louis. These threads are boring and repetitive.
 

For every H.S. kid that exceeds expectations in college there are 20 that don't and are appropriately placed at the lower tier DI college or DII. There are also enough kids that miss expectations at all levels. When he was in high school there were legitamate reasons he wasn't offered a scolly by the major colleges. Hindsights 20/20. I think it is just appropriate to say "good for him, he is one that exceeded expectations", and leave it at that rather than try to lay blame to anyone or the system for not ID-ing the intangible that made the young man the 1 in 20. Anyone know where his younger brother landed/heading, graduated last year from Hopkins and was an effective HS point guard?

Yep. For every guy that we "missed" there will be one that flames out. Next.

It's also hilarious that whenever we don't offer a MN kid with only mid-major offers the board freaks out and demands coaches be fired.

And yet, Joey King is the most hated Gopher for 90% of the season.

Say what you will about Joey King, but the guy has great posture.
