My concern is at least two years old now. The top recruit in the state (and one of the top in the country) choosing Pitt just confirms it is warranted.
This program continues to head in the wrong direction, but it seems to be gathering speed.

Yes we lost the top in state recruit this year, but did get #1 the last three years. Solid Sophomore base of players get a solid 2029 class and fill in a couple portal players and we will be fine

If by "fine" you mean shot at the round of 16, then sure.
I stand by my comment. (And the top MN recruits we signed were not top recruits in the country. Great to get them, don't get me wrong, but it's not enough.)

Let's face it...Hugh's departure was bigger than we at first thought. We then went through the transfer out and in and a RECENT SOLID TOP RECRUIT decommit in Larkin.
This program has seen it's share of Assistant Coaches and, unfortunately, we lost out on the recruiting after KK left....let's be honest people. This is where I feel the wheels started falling off a little.
Next we topped it off with injuries of 3 starters (will they come back the same or stronger) and a #1 OH's career been hampered with injuries etc and so here we are. IMO this opened the door for more recruits questioning should I commit to Minnesota or not (if they were ever being recruited in the first place). Again, IMO we are coming off a very non stable year.
HERE'S HOPING THE 2025 RECRUITING CLASS can get us back to our former glory. The Top 16 finish last season was very promising for this program. However, we need more of that or better.
Lastly, I am hoping these future verbally committed recruits will still come here....but I am also seriously wondering how long the actual building of this program back to the Top Ten is going to take.
