Poor Roy. His team is not at all gifted. Maybe look in the mirror? Probly spending too much time in the classroom.

Last two recruiting cycles havent been that great overall. Pitino has made hay from the transfer market - springs, carr, demir, tall Louisville guy. Bottom line is continue to make the tourney and all doubts go away.

Same concern. The narrative is that guys want to get away from home, which is understandable. Would be interesting if there is some data out there that shows what percent of recruits leave their home state. Is our situation truly the norm?

You may be correct, who knows. Personally, very difficult for me to believe that a savvy 18 yr. old would say such a thing with no malice aforethought.

100% true, if he goes down the cause will be recruiting.

Agree to disagree.

Is this true? I just assumed the number of cheaters is more than 10%.

This is my concern as well Hard to believe the statement was made in a vacuum. Is he parroting the thoughts of other Minnesota rectuits? Pitino excels at player development and he does a good job getting the most out of his teams. However, it is a problem if local recruit perception is...

Heard Trent Tucker talk about Tyler Johnson on kfan this morning. TT spoke similarly of Johnson. Seems like a well-grounded, impressive young man.

Preach it!

Thank you! Forgot about Myles! Imagine a game of horse between those two, but they certainly found other ways to positively impact a basketball game.

Like you said, time and place. Really hard to understand why a kid would intentionally choose to attempt to hurt his local school in such a way. Mr. Suggs is no doubt very savvy so very difficult for me to think that this was done without malice aforethought. Could have easily made his points...

Seems like the hockey program could use a boost as well. . .

Would guess other local prospects have felt the same way. On the other hand, our 3 local sophomore players Treyton Thompson, and Mark Coyle say hello. Some possibilities for Suggs throwing the BB program under the bus: 1. Suggs gives an honest off the cuff answer sharing his personal feelings...

Or how about this one. Better chance of I try to think like this, is difficult sometimes. I dont following gopher football that much. Wonder how Fleck does with Minnesota kids. I know you've said our local recruiting is mimicked in other states, so guess need to remember that.

How about this to illustrate the odds of the gophers gaining a recruit tonight : there is a greater chance a tar heel attends class regularly or a jayhawk coach puts on a family friendly opening night public practice. Yes, odds are that long.

Sadly, you may be overly optimistic.

Also, did anybody read any thoughts from Boiler media or fans? Am interested in their view but am too lazy to look myself.

Me as well, even if someone who saw it could give a summary.

And am sure there are those who would agree with you about trying something different, just not your assessment of those two seasons.
