You guys...I like Pitino but I'm pissed. He botched the geno thing. 2019 is non existent. We have no one and dont lead for anyone of quality. If we crap the bed this yr, 2020s are not likely gonna come here... ughhhh
Gophs in lead despite visiting zags on hoopfest weekend...
Whose hoop fest? Not sure I understand your point, bc the Gonzaga visit has not yet occurred.
What in the world are you talking about? lol
It will be a major fail on Richards part I think if Crandall goes anywhere but the U. He essentially kick out Stockman leaving them short at the 5 in the hopes they land Crandall. If Geno signs, great. If not the Gophers will still be short in the backcourt and at the 5. Curry is coming off a major knee injury and Oturu is also coming off an injury and a freshman.

Do we know that for sure?
count me as one thinking Matz had expressed an interest in moving on and coach began searching for someone else. if he was a coach that ran off players, would he have kept gaston?
I think it is different than the Gaston example in many ways:
1. Gas wasn't graduating so he would have had to sit out a year. With Matz not having to sit out a year Pitino doesn't have to feel as bad. He's not forcing him not to play this year, just saying he's not going to play here.
2. Matz will have better options than Gas would have. Believe it was reported he's visited/will visit Cal, Louisville, and Georgia Tech.
3. In the case of Matz, there is a specific player in mind (Geno) and we do not have a scholarship for him. I don't recall any specific transfer players in the years Gas was here that expressed interest in coming to Minnesota despite us not having a scholarship available. It's sort of a unique situation.
4. I don't think it's lost on Pitino that his leash is getting shorter, and he may be realizing that sometimes you have to do something you don't necessarily want to do (though is still not against any NCAA rules) in order to help your team.

Go Gophers!!
Be patient young hungarian. Crandall has earned the right to decide wisely according to what he feels is best. He doesn't owe anyone anything.It sounds like he may squash the Gophers' hope of landing him in the end. He is sounding a lot less sure dragging his feet. If he is really committed, cut the charades and sign already. Don't play the HS mystery hat game on us.

I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you!This...he aint coming here boys.
Before he can be a graduate transfer, he first needs to graduate. With all the credits he needs, it isn't a given that he'll wrap everything up this summer.
This...he aint coming here boys.
What do you think the significant differences are between the two programs ?

This is starting to remind me of the Reid Travis recruitment. All that’s missing are the supposed GH “insider” scoops that he’s committing here.
