He's a one-and-done wherever he goes. Maybe he's that rare kid that comes through that wants to stay and play for the home fans in MN. Maybe wants to follow in Dad's footsteps. They do come along every once in a while, no matter who the coach or the system.
Said anything was possible but right now is not the time to be thinking of the U. He could verbal right now if he was certain. There are cases where kids know early and come on board even before junior year much less senior.
I thought Matt Hurt and Tre jones were one and dones regardless too maybe these dumb kids should not go to the bluebloods where they are a guy not the guy...?
I'm sure he's being told to look at all the blue bloods and the G League path by all those trying to get him on that path that will set him up better for his future, but maybe at the end of the day after weighing it all he still likes the Gophs. Wouldn't hurt for us to have a decent year coming up here.
In my opinion they are not dumb. They are making a better choice when they factor in their own hopes and dreams, not yours or mine.
Players and families are seeing instability and severe failure. They are talking about it. Other teams are talking about it. These players all talk to each other. The parents talk, the other coaches talk.
Tre would have been if he didn't need hip surgery right after the season. Odds are he would have bombed the physical and really hurt his draft stock
Treyton Tnompson in the house. Currently rated #89 per Rivals
Nah. Marginal backup at best. Not as good as his brother by all accounts. Pretty good college player and a maybe pro. Draft stock hurt by his ability not his injuries,
Hahahah that’s laughable! The kid couldn’t hit a three in shoot around - NBA teams aren’t taking a PG who can’t shoot and isn’t an athletic freak at this point. He stayed because he had to not because he was injured
Most excellent!!Exactly! Neither of the Jones’ or Hurt benefitted from going to Duke! Coffey and Dan both overachieved their perceived time to the NBA. In my opinion it’s a wise move to stay and get the credit for carrying a potentially bad team instead of being a role player for an elite one
He might decide to go to college to put up better tape. G-league is where big boys play. Imagine Holmgren vs Nick Ward.
Why would you leave and go play for a blue blood if that’s the case...
In their opinion they got to play at Duke, in bigger games, on a national title contender, hall of fame coach, legendary program, national following. If you make the NBA anyway why would they not consider all things. Perhaps if Oturu went to Duke or Kentucky he would have been a top 5 pick. People are acting like coaching does not matter in building a winning team but every competitor knows it is the most critical piece in every program.
Well if we were going to cover my world political or ethical view college basketball would not be on the scale of my priorities. If it was not for the relationships, the experience in the game, the representation, the human interest observation i would not pay it any attention. But this is a college sports board. Most politicians have a winning % similar to ours. I want the teams leader to be better at his job.
