Ehhhh Basically you're saying a kid should 'give it a shot'. Thats crazy. A kid should come here because he likes it and its a good fit. As a fan we watch players come and go. If it doesn't work out here for a player we don't really care as long as the team is ok. You can't expect a kid...

That's your prerogative. And that's fine. The issue is with people acting like other voices don't exist or like those kids no longer represent the city/state just because you've decided you don't care about him anymore

Yep. I look at it like this: If your kid was a top 50 player and could theoretically go to any school in the country and you wanted him to go to MN, what would you sell him on? We can't use relationship with coaches because that's an unknown. Coaching? Can you say he's going to receive...

The problem with this idea is that it's simply untrue and it's untrue in most walks of life. If the only way you can represent where you come from is to go to the local college then that's a very narrow window. It's also ignoring realities. Everyone knows Dywane Wade is from Chicago. He...

you're talking about Gonzaga fans. And that's also wrong. MN fans know where our players are from. Suggs is the highest rated recruit they've ever brought in and has played on multiple National televised games for his HS. Guarantee you most of them know where he's from. Also you're thinking...

There are a lot of people in the TC who don't feel that you have to be going to the homestate school to represent the state/city. Same for most other places. Chicago reps hard for guys that go elsewhere. LA reps hard for guys like Harden that went to ASU. NYC and Atlanta produce plenty of...

I've never bought that. - First off we don't have an abnormal amount of decommits and especially ones that end up at 'better' or comparable schools. - The other thing is that they essentially take a kid off their commit list if they visit elsewhere. That doesn't jive with the strategy of...

Whatever the term we were still a run first team and an RPO team so teams had to at least respect and pay attention to the run. The only games where we really struggled running the ball (after the non con) were IA and WI when we were down a starter

He also is on an offense that's more one dimensional. They have another solid WR but the run game isn't great. As great as Bateman was teams had to worry about our run game and TJ so they couldn't focus on him.

I doubt Tre drops that far. I've seen him anywhere from late lottery to late 20s. Thing is I think he's pretty 'safe'. Tre's gonna play in the league a long time because teams absolutely know he's going to defend guards and wings, he'll run an offense and be smart with the ball. Even if the...

maayybe. Tre's thing is he has pretty much everything else teams love other than the shot. If Tyus and Tre were combined they'd be an easy 10 year starter in the league lol

he gone. He's getting legit 1st round buzz and may even move up into the early 20's. Seems like the word is the kid has definite NBA level skill and the only thing keeping him back is his physical profile but that will likely improve. He's not physically mature yet.

Gillepsie was 6'9" out of HS and was riding the bench at Augsburg, a DIII school his freshman year. A few years later he's 2nd team all conference on a top 3 team in the country. It can happen

With PJ being young and having a young family I think that he'll be here for a bit. I honestly think he'll eventually end up at a Notre Dame type program eventually or even a Florida. A Blue Blood that is successful and good but trying to take the next step to be a consistent title contender...

If I want to become a better person through sheer force of will, PJ's on the list. If I want to relax and not have someone in my ear every hour, definitely NOT picking PJ.

CAB will be very good next year. I don't think he'll be at TJ's level where you can count on him to be consistently open on 3rd down. He has a big catch radius but he wasn't all that great at making contested catches last year after that Fresno catch. There were a number of 3rd downs where he...

NFL cares about size and speed. TJ isn't 'fast' so it will always be an uphill battle until he proves it on the NFL field.

I think when you see a former D1 HC being hired as CB coach it's a safe assumption that his tenure as an HC didn't go great. But he's way overqualified for this position which is great

Think this is all a combination of a few things - Kaden being a solid P5 prospect but not quite as good as his initial rankings which changed fan perception of how important he was as a recruit - Him wanting bigger offers - Him not actually knowing where he wanted to go - Teams being willing to...

I disagree. Mitch was at best an average Power 5 QB and honestly that was only because of his running ability which was efficient but far from dynamic. It was very reasonable to hope/expect for a QB that could be an average to above average QB. I'd argue that Annexstad in his few games...
