All Things Chet Holmgren Recruitment Thread (Class of 2021, Gophers Have Offered)

[MplsGopher]

Chet’s not staying home

"I've talked to him already," the 7-foot-1 Holmgren said of Johnson. "I haven't heard anything bad about him. From my experience, he's a really good guy. I see him doing really good things."

Holmgren, who had 24 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists Friday, said Johnson texted him first this week. They then spoke over the phone, but their relationship had already been established previously.

"He reached out to me when he was at Xavier, too," Holmgren said about where Johnson was an assistant the last three years. "A lot of things have already been said."

Gonzaga still appears to be the favorite to land Holmgren, according to multiple recruiting services. The Zags signed five-star point guard Hunter Sallis on Friday. They're also playing in the Sweet 16 with Holmgren's former teammate and freshman sensation Jalen Suggs.


Chet views the Gophers the same way he views Xavier, is what I get from that.

But you couldn't send Klay to Minnesota?

I don’t know how consistent Chet plays but no gopher was as good as Thompson he never had a bad game.

 

[Holy Man]

Is this a recruiting violation?

I might be wrong, but hasn't Mychal stayed pretty disconnected from the U and the state since graduating? Certainly not mad about this tweet, just very unexpected lol.

He's probably pumped about Ben Johnson

Thanks for posting this. Covid robbed us of our chance to watch Chet in his last year of high school and AAU - this helps a bit. Wouldn't it awesome if . . .

Every Minnehaha game has been streamed live...

...but "WE" didn't have Ben Johnson then.

Not sure how accurate it is since his recruitment was awhile ago but 247 and Rivals don’t show MN offered.

And Tony Bennett.

He would of have to been offered. If I remember right, he wasn’t. He went to Wash St - not like he had tons of offers

Yeah but if Klay said hey check out my boy, they would've had a spot for him for sure..

Probably.

That's incredible, about as elite in terms of athleticism as someone that height can be.

Wouldn't he get snapped like a twig in the B1G?

He smush you like bug.

 

[Dano564]

Wouldn't he get snapped like a twig in the B1G?

No.
No one will ever catch him.

 

[kraftrob]

Maybe Chet is waiting to see if Jalen is going pro.

 

[Unregistered User]

Is he coming to the U?

Yes. Confirmed.

Now shut up and stop torturing this joke.

Chet is the man. Love his game obviously. Seems like a smart kid. The best shot blocker I’ve seen in high school. Maintains verticality, doesn’t “chase” blocks and leave the weak side rebounds or commit dumb fouls like so many prolific shot blockers do.

At the end of the day Chet will go where he thinks he fits. I don’t think he will be a Gopher but I really wish him well. Fun to watch.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Don’t want to get people excited but...
My uncle is named Chet. He said he wouldn’t go to Gonzaga if they lose this game

 

[alchemy2u]

Come on Chet. You don’t want to play for a punk team that isn’t in a real conference. Playing 90% of your games against weak competition is not how you develop talent or get better. To be the best, you have to play against the best.

 

[Obi-Wan Okogie]

C'mon Man....Do it Dude.

 

[Minnesara]

Gonzaga? What a dud! Who in their right mind would want to play for them, Chet?

 

[laazrakit]

Been a while since we've had a big, ugly sumbitch to root for... We're due for one, I think.
