He also from had an offer from Hoiberg (who was a high school star at Ames and played at ISU as well as being a former coach at that school) and didn't go to Nebraska either.
Is this one supposed to hurt? I don't feel the pain.
All of the good players we offer that go elsewhere hurt. We’re scraping together a team from low major leftover transfers. It would be nice to start landing some 2022 HS commits so we’re not following this same plan next year, too.
He actually went out of his way to describe Ben's lack of interest in him .
Yes, he said that Minnesota gave him an offer but Ben didn't extend that. I read that as a jab at Ben. Do you honestly think he posted this to compliment Ben for his taste in players by not pursuing this one? That would be a first.
Exactly. So a kid that Johnson didn't offer is going to a completely rebuilding Iowa State? Um, okay. Thanks for the info?He also from had an offer from Hoiberg (who was a high school star at Ames and played at ISU as well as being a former coach at that school) but didn't go to Nebraska either.

I took that as essentially saying "we cooled on him" which has always been a defense of the coach and not a jab. It's almost like saying "I didn't like you anyway". I think if Ben didn't extend him an offer, we weren't that interested in him. So essentially we lost someone we weren't interested in.
Are you saying that because Lipsey grew up in Ames and decided to stay home we need to worry about Eli?Connection people are not making....Tamin plays on D1Minnesota along with Eli King, and many top players in the state are in that program. Not sure what it means for certain, but it does not help Minnesota recruiting.
Pretty sure the staff is working 15 hour days.Number 1 recruit in Iowa. That’s good enough for me. Johnson needs to get out of office and start recruiting. Spend less time worrying about Brooklyn Center and more time about future Gophers.
I am saying Eli and Tamin are friends and teammates...they talk. Tamin sells Eli on Iowa State. Eli's brother played for the Iowa State coach at a previous stop.Are you saying that because Lipsey grew up in Ames and decided to stay home we need to worry about Eli?
Possible. They cannot reach everyone. Tamin was on the US team that won a gold medal at the U16 world games. Blew his knee the next year and will be healthy this summer. Point being that though he is an Iowa kid, he is a D1Minnesota kid too. He will have influence on others.What if the new staff simply did not see a fit.
#1 recruit in the state means something special to you? Maybe he was on his way to Alaska to check out their #1 recruit. Good grief.Number 1 recruit in Iowa. That’s good enough for me.

I will take your word that you know what you're talking about with them being friends and whatnot. My rebuttal is that if Eli is gonna go to ISU because of Tamin then they must be REALLY close. You can't convince me that a team that won 2 games last year has more to sell Eli than the Gophers do.I am saying Eli and Tamin are friends and teammates...they talk. Tamin sells Eli on Iowa State.

Kinda like the influence the D1 MN kids had on Joe Hurlburt?Possible. They cannot reach everyone. Tamin was on the US team that won a gold medal at the U16 world games.

Have you looked at the rosters lately? Neither team is done, but Iowa State have turned nearly everyone over and has upgraded with each exchange. Remember, recruiting is a relationship game...you did not acknowledge the relationship between the King family and Iowa State's coach. Not sure what will happen but I was originally posting to back up the reason Chris posted this in the first place. This news does not help the Gophers.I will take your word that you know what you're talking about with them being friends and whatnot.

It may not help us, but I still choose to believe at face value it means no more than Lipsey wanted to stay home.Have you looked at the rosters lately?

To me, your point seemed to be Tamin going to ISU meant doom and gloom for the rest of DI MN. I'm just not buying it, that's all.True, but what does it mean for King? That is what only time will tell, and was the point of this post.

Cannot disagree. That is perhaps the dumbest, corn fed, inbred, Iowian comment I’ve seen posted here in many months. Slop me a hog muthafuka!Every time I think I've read the dumbest post here already someone surprises me with an even dumber one.
Maybe BJ is feeling pretty good about getting a commitment from Tre Holloman and didn't want to upset that situation by going after another PG hard in the same class.I could be wrong, I don't know the background of Chris Monter.
