    All Things Isaac Asuma Recruitment Thread (Class of 2024, Minnesota's Top In-State Target)

    Finnish names have a hard start and ending. For example: Toivonen is pronounced TOY-voe-NEN. Therefore Isaiah Asuma's last name is pronounced AH-sue-MA. I read in an article that his mom and aunt were good ballers. They may be the only two as Cherry was just awful when I lived on the Range and...

    Their dad, Nate, was a Science Teacher. He got a job teaching in Braham. Nate was originally from the little town of Orr where his dad was the State DNR game warden. Nate played on the 1976 Orr Braves team that beat Chisholm in the Region finals and won the consolation at State. In AA, Hibbing...

    Sure they'd be okay. If you want to blame someone, blame former Governor, Rudy Perpich (a Ranger) who signed open enrollment into law. Many schools in the Range lost students to Virginia because it was perceived that Virginia had a better education system than the smaller towns around them. This...

    Maryland has always looked more athletic than the Gophers. Maryland tends to kill the Gophers.

    They have the chance, but North Woods came down for 3 years straight and took 2nd all three years so getting 4th in small school isn't "stacked." And, yes, Bob McDonald exploited open enrollment on the Range with his youngest son, Joel. It's actually humorous that Joel would lose a kid he...

    Already stacked!? LOL, Cherry came down to State last year with Isaiah Asuma as the oldest starter as a Sophomore. His two brothers in 9th and 7th grade and his two cousins in 8th and 7th grade. Beyond that they didn't have a kid who could walk and chew bubble gum at the same time. Last year...

    Just go east on Hwy 37, past the airport for 10 or 20 miles. The school will be on your left. Use Google maps and type in...Cherry School. Cherry School (218) 749-4614 https://maps.app.goo.gl/AbszhyQe9XiPRapD8

    Realistic expectations for 2023-24?

    Exactly how would one know the answer to this question? The scenarios of the situation would need to be looked at. But, since there are a number of schools out there. Do you think all of our kids would sit the bench on all other P6 schools?

    I liked the quote about JOJ the announcers had. They were quoting Coach Johnson about JOJ. "He has unrealistic confidence and is wickedly funny." (or something similar to that point) You watch JOJ and he just doesn't care about who he's up against. He is going to attack with abandon. I love...

    Defense is easily learned, but requires willpower. I don't worry about this as Asuma can pick that up. But, it is much harder to try teach fundamental ball handling skills, passing, and shooting. Asuma is quick, but he plays against slow players in high school. This is why he needs to show...

    We aren't going to win. The entire coaching staff needs to go off on these refs.

    Agreed. At some point he needs to tear these refs a new hole and let his kids know he's not going to take the half ass reffing we're seeing tonight.

    Pretty sure the refs are breathing out when the Illini are on offense and breathing in when the Gophers are on offense cause they blow the whistles for Illinois and swallow the whistles for Minnesota.

    You must watch the games with your head in the sand. Henley, Ola Joseph and Payne are all showing solid improvement. Carrington was setback by injury, but was starting to take off. Any comments about Ben and staff doing a poor job compared to last year are comments of ignorant basketball fans...
