Correct. A big part of recruiting is building a relationship by two-way communication. If McAndrews camp said to the Gophers "no chance," are you going to continue to call, text, and follow him? In the real world we call that stalking and people get restraining orders.

If his Dad or some coach made it clear there was no way he'd go to the Gophers, then why offer. It just becomes performative. The kid and his family would know that Coach Johnson is just trying to make it appeared like he tried. Do we just offer scholarships so the kid can puff our his chest...

I’m a bit bored and impatient in this transfer portal waiting game, so enjoy: Hunter Dickinson COMMITTED! Michigan transfer Hunter Dickinson has committed to the University of Minnesota for the upcoming season. When asked about why he chose Minnesota, he mentioned that he always wanted to be...

As has been said earlier, who knows whether a 20 year old kid wants to live close to his parents in college. On the other hand, his mom mentioned in an interview that she rarely sees her kids play live and/or in-person and often has to watch a recorded version later. They seem like a tight...

Anyone watch the 3 point contest and see Christie in action?

On Twitter she's mostly posted vacation photos. Basketball moves on quickly. Good for her to slow down, debrief, and take some deserved time off.

Perfect backup to Payne. He's probably looking for 10-15 minutes a game and NIL of an assortment of Dinky town restaurant gift cards. Would he walk-on too so we can save a scholarship?

Mark Coyle has been criticized in his hiring practices and decisions (sometimes rightfully so), but his trend towards moving quickly is respectful to the players who are dealing with change. It feels like the Pitt opening has been there a long time and I can imagine that players are frustrated.

ESPN's list of the Top 20 in the transfer portal (though maybe with 2 more because of a numbering error).

In the past - Boosters whispering "You can buy a Final Four berth." Now - John Ruiz on Twitter: "You can buy a Final Four berth!"

Local angles for MN journalists this coming week: FAU - Bryan Greenlee UConn - former Pitino assistant Kimani Young SDSU - Brian Dutcher Texas - Marcus Carr Miami - booster John Ruiz once was in the MSP airport

Slim pickings then.

With hopefully some transfer portal commitments on the horizon, I decided to make a record of the past commitment dates and will try to update as relevant. Spring 2021 - Ben Johnson hired March 22 Commitment Date TP Departures (10) - Carr, Kalscheur, Robbins, Mashburn Jr., Gach, Williams...

That's a great piece. I'm glad they faded at the injury.

Do we need another developmental combo guard from the HS class of 2022, like Carrington?

Let's summarize Eli King: Great athlete out of a MN high school with a good basketball ranking. Goes to Iowa State to play for TJO, which his was his brother's coach for awhile. In his first year he barely gets off the bench. He likely has a long ways to go to develop at the high-major...

I wonder if jobs at the U must be posted for a week (or some other time minimum) before someone can be hired. She may know who those assistants are already, but can't formalize that until the waiting period is over.

Here's a link to the full interview. There's a link in the video description to jump to the Coach P interview.

"anti-Frese" is a great headline!

Who wouldn't want a trip to Europe, Australia, or elsewhere in the offseason.
