His dad was an 88 Washburn grad. As someone from that generation, it was right when Clem was making it popular to be a Gopher fan. I would have thought Thorson was a little older than Green but maybe they overlapped for a year or two.No inside information here. Just speculative hope.
It seems like Green will most likely go to Iowa State. In high school it seemed like Iowa State might have been the runner up to UNI. At UNI his dad was an assistant for his first few years. Now his dad is at Iowa State. Those are the obvious dots to connect.
Dark horse Minnesota: His dad has connections to the state. At least part of it is that he played at Hamline with Dave Thorson. Minnesota was the first to offer a scholarship back in high school.
If the kid was looking to get out of Iowa for a year, Minnesota might be the ideal landing spot.
Dark Horse is probably an accurate description as it would seem he would want to play for his dad. Minnesota would probably have the fit and a clear path to the minutes he would want to build his resume for his basketball future. I’ve actually never seen him play, but he would seem to be the home run to complete this class. Small chance….but I guess you never know.
