Huge week next week for BJ and staff. JOJ and Payne both taking officials next week. JOJ- 18th-19th Payne- 21st-23rd Both players would be nice additions and solidify a solid MN class for year 1 of the BJ tenure.

Pharrel Payne will be visiting the U August 21st-23rd. Need to lock him down. I don’t care what anyone says about his offer list or what AAU team he played on. The kid has a relentless motor and is very strong for his age. He’s a very good finisher and has a great feel for positioning. Horse on...

Yeah, per Ryan James, it’s looking like he’s got an official scheduled already next week. I’m thinking the same. I think Josh has high interest in playing for the U and in the big ten.

Looks like he will take an official August 18th and 19th. Clemson and Colorado state are after him pretty hard as well. Hopefully we can seal the deal with another MN kid on their official. I like Josh even though he would be a slightly undersized 4. He has really developed his shot and he’s a...

Thanks for the insight, appreciate it.

Thanks built, yeah I suppose it’s tough to know what his real options were.

I found that odd as well. I haven’t see him play at all. Is he someone who kind of fell off and had more steam before? I don’t know much about this kid.

BarnBurner and Spaulding have to be part of some secret anti-Gopher movement. They both just derail every thread with negativity and ridiculous troll comments. Their dedication is pretty impressive. It’s one thing to state your point and opinion but another to drag everyone else down with you...

The rankings don’t matter anyways. If the guy can play, he can play. Carrington is a very good player and he will contribute nicely to our program. He would absolutely be in my top 5 MN recruits for 2022.

I think those of us who have been following the recruiting closely had an idea this one was coming but now it’s blatant. Ben and staff have made it obvious already they have a great eye for identifying talent and getting in early. I’m excited about this commitment and I think Mr. Payne will...

It will be an interesting dynamic today with recently offered SG Connor Essegian on campus today for an unofficial while Braeden is on his official. I wonder if they will cross paths during the team practice portion or at any time. Will Ben use this to pressure Braeden for a commitment? Connor...

Hoping his visit goes well this week. I know he said September for a decision but I could see him pulling the trigger in the next couple weeks if he loves his visit.

You have to mute/ignore him. I’ve asked the same question before and as you are expecting, I got a very immature response.

I think we cooled on him significantly. He has been shaky at best this summer. Not a great summer for him but it seems more confidence related than anything. Still plenty of potential with Watson but I like our other SF targets better.

I really believe he will be a gopher as well. RJ said in a 247 forum that if he was doing crystal ball picks, he would already have his pick in for Payne and wouldn’t look back for a minute.

Yeah, he has not been good on all accounts. I would actually take a pass on him at this point. I think we have better targets than him as it sits currently.

Yeah I agree. I really do like our chances at getting Carrington and Payne. Both very good players too. I’d be thrilled to land them both.

I really like this kid. This is good news. I’m hoping he will be the first to commit after his visit to get it going. I don’t think Pharrel will be far behind. I’m being optimistic but I’ve tried the negativity route and it makes for a more miserable fandom.

Just my opinion. I can see we are way off on our opinions, probably not worth going back and forth any longer and dismantling the thread. Have a good day my man!

I guess I’m missing the point of your post then…who cares if he’s not currently ranked as a top 5 player in the state? Doesn’t the end result matter more?
