Spoken like someone who understands the girls basketball landscape, is willing to deal with reality and has no horse in the race.

And how many of those Lakeville North girls actually live in Lakeville South territory but made the decision to attend North because of their sport? It happens everywhere. Get over it.

When are people going to stop beating this dead horse? It's 2020. Kids open enroll all over the place and rosters across the region are populated by players who don't reside in the same community where the school is located. Do you think all of the players at Minnetonka or Roseville or...

Then you are clearly not a basketball fan.

After being out such a long time Ellie has to prove herself on the EYBL circuit to show that she is quick enough still for the high major level. If you have only one scholarship to give Hart has to be the first choice. If she says 'no' then everything is up for debate.

In my opinion there are a lot of people in her ear and some of them have become caught up in the hype of the recruiting process.

McKenzie hasn't committed or announced yet but said privately she isn't coming to Minnesota.

McKenzie isn't coming to MInnesota. They are still in the running for Hart.

Also Gianna Kneepkens, PG, Duluth Marshall.

I have had dozens of conversations with the Hopkins coach over the past few years and I can tell you that Cos is 100 percent supportive of Coach Whalen and what she is doing with the program. He wants his players to do what is right for them. In some cases that might mean the Gophers, in others not.

You don't go to medical school as an undergraduate playing basketball. That comes later.

Show me where that was said. She was always interested in Minnesota which is why she jumped at the opportunity when it came.

Sophie Hart is very much in the picture. If she says 'yes' they'll figure out a way to make it happen. Kneepkens is a long shot. She's more interested in a high-academic, smaller-school environment like Lehigh.

I have stood next to McKenzie many times and she is definitely taller than 5'8. With her athleticism that's irrelevant anyway. The kid's vertical is incredible. She is, by far, the most athletic player in Minnesota. Nobody else is even close. The main issue is skill development, overall...

This is the one. She's a nice addition who will be an immediate contributor. Terrific leadership qualities and plenty of experience. Her run to the state title with AHA was super impressive.
