This guy thinks we will have a top 10 class if we land Alex...
With Minnesota still being the crystal ball favorite for four-star power forward Alex Illikainen, the Gophers could very well be looking at a
Top 10 class next season if he commits.

I hope Illikainen and JJ are reading these articles. If not, the coaches should show them.
I don't think we'd have a top 10 class just by adding Illikainen, but probably would by adding both of them.
It doesn't have to be those two either.
Alex and Walton... Clarke and Walton, Clarke and Alex, etc.
Clarke and Alex for my money. or Clark and one of the other big's we are after.
Not sure I follow the gif file.
Yeah, it's deep.... I was implying I was caught.
I'm not the daily fella.
Not implying it was deep, not sure why you added it to the reply to my post.
I responded to the daily accusation.
I kept wondering why the hell does this poster keep saying "ya feel me" then I rememered the daily writer. It was a 'I get the joke' comment, not a 'you are Sam Gordon' accusatoin.

If for no other reason than the symbolism factor, abosolutely not on these! Can't let the neighbors come in and steal the guys we want.

Especially this late in the game. Based on his top 4 though, it seems like he'd like to stay close to home. And considering we've been on him for a lot longer than Wisconsin and Iowa, I like our chances.
It was strange that he wasted one of his officials on Cal early in the process and they didn't even make his final cut (yes, I know they had a coaching change). Even at the time that visit didn't make sense because it just didn't fit.
How can a tall, athletic kid possibly say he likes the way Wisconsin plays?
In late March?
Wisconsin has a storied history of Tall White boys getting ample playing time and limelight.
Then he could have commented how how successful they have been? not that he likes the playing style. Big difference imo
I think Nwankwo will commit this wknd based on what he's said about how much he likes us. Could be wrong, but l almost prefer him over AI because of his size. I think we need someone to rebound and put a body on someone. Alex doesn't physically look like he's going to box anyone out in the BIG.. Also, we'll have plenty of shooters in Lofton, Mason, Dorsey, McBrayer. Almost wonder how much interest the Gophers have. Does Alex even have a visit set up yet?
Alex is the number one priority right now but I don't believe he has an official visit set up yet but he has visited enough times were he could commit at anytime and take an official after he has already committed if he wants to. I would be disappointed if Nwankwo committed if that prevented us from getting Illikainen however I believe that no matter how many commits we already have if Illikainen decides he wants to play here Pitino would make room for him.I think Nwankwo will commit this wknd based on what he's said about how much he likes us.
