All Things 2024 Daniel Freitag Recruitment Thread (Gophers Have Offered)

[Plato]

It is my understanding of a complex issue that has been macerated and ground up on Buckyville is that Fickell talked to Freitag about playing FB as well as BB.
The June visit to WI is about BB only.
The Fickell gesture was to help get the kid to WI because Gard is on a very hot seat because of his poor recruiting and the dreadful performance of the team last year.

 

[upnorthkid]

So he’s announcing tomorrow?

 

[The SF Rock]

I’m fine with him and his bad head screwing up their team chemistry. Should he decide on Minnesota his head is just fine.

Minnesota is not even recruiting him anymore.

 

[BleedGopher]

He's committing to wisconsin tomorrow. Most of the schools in his "final five" haven't recruited him in over a year.

Go Gophers!!

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Lovely.

 

[The SF Rock]

Minnesota is not even recruiting him anymore.

And we know why. My remark was cynical.

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

Whatever. With Davison in the rear view and Wahl on his way out, I'll need a new badger to despise.

 

[Cayman]

Has it been known for awhile that he’s definitely playing basketball? I thought he was taking football visits as recently as the last 2-3 months, but from the image in the tweet I’m assuming it’s basketball.

 

[Yah-E]

Another “Top X”

Will he play two sports?

Man, that has to be difficult to do.

They picked Asuma and have moved on from Freitag.

[Spaulding!No!]

Glad they buried the rock.

 

[saintpauljeff]

Badgers have mucho dinero for NIL eh?

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Some see things very clearly

 

[Block M]

Good riddance and good luck. BTW, The Badgers play a $hit style of basketball and they suck. Not saying the Gophers don't.

The Strib is painting this as "Top Basketball Recruit in MN Chooses Wisconsin."

story mentions that Freitag plays AAU ball with Jack Robison of Badger West HS. (oops - that's supposed to be Lakeville North HS).

also - story never says a word about the Gophers previously getting a commit from Asuma as their 2024 PG.

But the story does have this quote from Freitag:

"They haven't offered any other point guards in my grade or surrounding grades, and that showed how much trust they had in landing me," Freitag said. "Coach Gard showed he's all in on me."

 

[The SF Rock]

Thanks, son. Another reason to hate the Strib.

 

[GopherOhana]

"They haven't offered any other point guards in my grade or surrounding grades, and that showed how much trust they had in landing me," Freitag said. "Coach Gard showed he's all in on me."

too funny. i think there are 12 guards on their roster and only a couple are seniors. guessing some of them play point

 

[rowdaboat]

Knew he sucked

 

[Blackhammer]

Once he goes to prep school and not a Minnesota high school is even an In state prospect? Be like his family moved to California. LOL The fact that the Gophers already signed a in state point guard doesn’t fit the Tribs narrative I’m sure. I wouldn’t bet he ever plays for Wisconsin. I doubt they are Miami in NIL offers .

 

[Plato]

Gard just decreased the temperature of his seat by getting that recruit.
If he gets the so-called #1player in WI his seat will be cool until the AD sees what kind of product he puts on the floor.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

We didn’t want Crowl.

Asuma is not a PG at the big10 level. He is too slow. In his low level state tournament he couldn’t even dominate and get anywhere on the court when he wanted.

Do I think Freitag is a PG…no. But thinking Asuma is a PG at Big10 level is laughable.

I’d say he’s a combo guard and he seems to be playing well at the AAU level. Which should be better than the “ low level “ state tournament you took a shot at. Not sure if above average quickness always translates or is required to a good playmaker.

I’ve often been told I’m quick.
